An interesting summary of the American career of a Russian-speaking comedian, one Nurlan Saburov. I was previously unaware that there was much of a market in the USA for comedians to come here and go on tour doing their stand-up *in* *Russian,* but live and learn. Saburov is apparently really popular in the Russian-speaking world, and his tour through the USA was scheduled well before Certain Recent Events. But once Certain Recent Events kicked off… Ukrainians in the audience started demanding that he address the Events. It does not go well.

Capitalism at its finest. I’m sure there are those who will cry about this being “toxic masculinity” somehow.

A San Francisco Walgreens. Due to the theft that the local government has enabled, they lock up almost everything behind glass panels. *Almost* everything. Note that the sunscreen in the lower right is left un-locked. Apparently the thieves don’t go after sunscreen.
Don’t you *dare* draw any sort of message from that. Just don’t do it.

So, who knew… apparently you can make a living doing nothing but taking commercial flights and posting videos about them on YouTube. Sometimes this means taking the most expensive and luxurious flights from one continent to another; sometimes it means taking a puddlejumper from one tiny airport to an even smaller one. And sometimes it means trying to take a Greyhound bus from LA to NYC. In February. If you aren’t from the US, maybe “road trip across the USA in February” sounds reasonable. If you’re hopelessly optimistic, perhaps “road trip on a bus” makes you think “what could go wrong?” So this British feller decides to give it a shot. It does not go to plan… but it still goes *way* better than it could’ve.
As the blog post says, though, the comments make it worthwhile:
- “It can’t be that bad” … anyone who’s ever been on a greyhound started praying for you at that point
- Also a round of applause for the bravery shown by choosing Taco Bell when you know you’ll be stuck on a bus for 4 days.
- Riding a Greyhound for the bus for an hour will change your whole outlook on life. You will also meet people that you only heard about in folklore.
- In my first four minutes on a greyhound bus, I knew that I needed to improve my station in life and wondered where I went wrong.

I mean, if you had the technical capability to insert Elmo into “Dune,” you’d hardly *not* do that.

Ben’s staff selects some of the craziest nutbars tiktok has to offer to make their boss react to. Someday, historians will look back on this time in amazement that society ever allowed people with this level of mental illness to have this outsized of an influence on culture, norms and laws.
By the way: if you are still concerned about the so-called “Don’t Say gay” bill, Ruined Leon is here to set you right. Unlike the people screaming the loudest about it, he actually goes to the bother of actually reading the thing: Spoiler warning: the crazies are lying. Shocker, I know.
And if you are confused or concerned that perhaps you too are a groomer, the Babylon Bee has kindly provided a simple test:
Are You A Groomer? 9 Things To Look For
1. Do you talk about sex with 5-year-olds behind their parents’ back?
2. Do you begin sentences with, “Don’t tell your parents, but…”
3. Do you encourage kids to cut off their sex organs?
4. Are you a Disney Executive?
Take a look and see how you stack up, and whether you should be removed from the proximity of children.
We don’t need stricter gun laws. We don’t need open borders. We do need a whole lot of mental asylums.
