Last night at the Gridiron Dinner in DC, maybe 10 feet from me and
@sarahagruen
, a woman collapsed, hit her head on a table, and was laying on the floor without moving.
People gather trying to help, but no one is sure what to do. Someone goes to find a doctor.
They found one.

“Clapping for the Nicole AMC ad isn’t funny anymore.” Is “being funny” the only source of value? What about community? Tradition? Belonging? One day Nicole won’t be there and you won’t remember the last time you clapped for her. And I will pity you.
Some people claim Comedy Central has no idea how to retain talent. But if that were true, you would’ve seen huge shows on other networks from the likes of Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, Samantha Bee, Nathan Fielder, Tim Robinson,
Roy Wood Jr won’t be returning to The Daily Show as he no longer wants to wait for someone else to take the top job.
"I can't come up with Plan B is while still working with Plan A”
A viral tweet will be like “some of y’all rly think the moon is made of cheese lmao” and then inevitably they have to reply “I now understand some communities are taught by our failed education system that the moon is made of cheese. My tweet was NOT directed towards them—“

Thankfully, she was okay. And the good doctor posed for a photo with her, documenting one of the best “only in Washington” stories of all time!
CNN: Bernie, are you evil
Bernie: No
CNN: But why are you evil
Bernie: I'm not
[chyron: when will Bernie admit he is evil]
CNN: Vice President Biden, what's your comment on the fact that Bernie is evil
Biden: I think dames can run for president just as fast as any fella
I support Bernie but I’m not on board with the people who are accusing Warren of inauthenticity when she makes selfie line jokes or dances or whatever. She’s acting like a hokey grandma because she IS a hokey grandma! That is authenticity! Fun generally speaking should be allowed
FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA is NICK FURY
- not getting involved unless he absolutely has to
- has meetings with everyone individually but disappears when shit goes down
- no one lets him say "motherfucker" but you can tell he REALLY wants to
BETO O'ROURKE is STARLORD
- seems like a cool fun guy until he starts to take himself too seriously
- looks up into space and wonders about the meaning of it all
- thinks cool music is a personality trait
- his real name is much more boring
- really cashing in on Gen X nostalgia
Tweeting is dangerous because there’s a 99.9% chance no one ever sees or cares about your impulsive thought—but there’s a 0.01% chance it gets more attention than all of your life’s work combined. And in all likelihood it’ll be something like “on god, poo poo really do be stinky”
ELIZABETH WARREN is CAPTAIN AMERICA
- been around a WHILE
- written off as dorky but eventually you admit they're right
- minimal Native American ancestry
- carries around annotated notebook of cultural references
- former Republican who has realized how messed up the world is
DONALD TRUMP is THANOS
- acquired all five infinity stones (PA, WI, MI, FL, OH)
- wants half the population gone (you know which half)
- would sacrifice child for power (Eric)
- thicc but we won't admit it
- sitting comfortably on throne while everyone else destroys one another
The ultimate test for all boyfriends…when she’s takin a lil nap…how long do you wait to wake her up…will she be mad because you didn’t let her sleep enough…or because you let her sleep too long…I never mastered this which is why I’m being downgraded from boyfriend to husband
I’ve been doing comedy for 8 years and nothing i come up with will ever be as funny as my friend from high school whose iPhone passcode was 1973 and every time he’d put it in he’d wistfully say “the year we landed on the moon…”
This is totally, 100%, unquestionably a case of parallel thinking—but if somehow this could result in me getting to write for the Oscars next year then BY ALL MEANS
TULSI GABBARD is VISION'S WEIRD GIRLFRIEND
- can't quite figure out her "deal"
- anti-interventionist until she decides someone needs an ass-kicking
- definitely into alternative medicine
- who is she
- this tweet will make everyone mad at me
PETE BUTTIGIEG is ANT-MAN
- some new guy who you have to learn about late in the game
- more formidable than his humble size would suggest
- will never age
- people might like his partner more
- no clear position on free college
Louis CK seems to be fully back after less than two years since we learned about his sex crimes. For context it’s been 9 years since I played the cello and the only crime I committed was being bad at the cello
MIKE GRAVEL is ROCKET RACCOON
- shitposting from the sidelines
- has no intention of becoming president
- actually has great ideas but no one will listen to him
- not sure if real or computer-generated
When we say “abolish the police,” we DON’T mean “get rid of all police officers.” We mean “get rid of all police officers EXCEPT one old-timey Irish guy with a baton who says ‘whoa there sonny, where’s the fire???’ when you run too fast”
Amtrak just waived change fees through late April, which, on top of all the companies offering sick leave and Work From Home policies, makes the coronavirus the most effective leftist advocate of our generation
AMY KLOBUCHAR is THE HULK
- don't make her angry
- you wouldn't like her when she's angry
- IT'S KLOBBERIN' TIME!!!
- I know that's The Thing's catchphrase but work with me here
- maybe KLOB SMASH?
- doesn't use combs properly
ANDREW YANG is IRON MAN
- fake gamer
- silicon valley mogul
- secret libertarian
- strong takes on body modification
- lots of reddit guys have posters of him on their wall
- throws crazy ideas out there, then shrugs and leaves the room to let someone else figure out the details
Can’t believe my Harvard acceptance was rescinded after I burned down just ONE (1) hospital for insurance money. That was supposed to be a private conversation between me and the hospital. This especially sucks since I’m supposed to have a fundamental right to go to Harvard
CORY BOOKER is BRUCE BANNER
- close ties with pharmaceutical companies
- seems like a nice guy but has some awkward quirks
- dad vibes for days
- good relationship with Rosario Dawson
For the 1/100th time, the reason we show so many Cases, compared to other countries that haven’t done nearly as well as we have, is that our TESTING is much bigger and better. We have tested 40,000,000 people. If we did 20,000,000 instead, Cases would be half, etc. NOT REPORTED!
DNC CHAIR TOM PEREZ is THAT INEFFECTUAL SENATOR PLAYED BY GARRY SHANDLING FROM IRON MAN 2 WHO GETS HIS ASS HANDED TO HIM
- sorry tom
- I just thought this would be funny
- I'm sure you work hard
My life:
Never reading books
Never reading books
Never reading books
Never reading books
Never reading books
READING THIS BOOK IS THE ONLY ACTIVITY I DO; THE REST OF LIFE IS A MERE DISTRACTION DESIGNED TO PULL ATTENTION AWAY FROM THIS BOOK
Never reading books
Never reading books
This Beto stunt is getting us one step closer to what Democrats must ultimately do: bringing back challenging your political opponents to a deadly duel
@KrangTNelson
“They say he’s DeSantis, but folks, I’m not so sure. I think he might be DeStinky. What do we think? Who thinks he’s DeSantis?”
*the crowd boos and hisses in disgust*
“And who thinks he might be just a little bit DeStinky?”
*the crowd roars in approval*
KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND is CAPTAIN MARVEL
- gets tons of hate on the internet
- headstrong now but her origin story is all over the place
- should not be defined by her relationship with Al Franken
- polling at 0%
Being a Trump official must be exhausting. A bunch of freaks are constantly texting you “Please do crimes! PLEASE!!! And text me to confirm after you’ve done the crimes!” Meanwhile Maggie Haberman is like “It sucks people are mad at you for doing crimes. If you need to vent lmk”
Hey this is my first ever piece for Reductress! I call out a bunch of problematic shit in the piece so I’m going to stop typing now so I don’t accidentally cancel myself!
@kibblesmith
A tweet like this is accessible for the minimally online, but has a rich texture (me knowing which trending topic that you’re reacting to) that can only be appreciated by the terminally online
Not me assassinating Archduke Frank Ferdinand 😂😂😂 that mf was getting on my nerves
