whats your favourite late night comedian?

I like Trevor Noah a lot. I think he's quite intelligent. Good interviewer.
I forgot the name of that British guy. Mostly funny, but he is getting too hysterical at times. But the basic criticism is really good.
John Steward also good. He is overdoing his drunk style sometimes IMO. But he makes some good points others usually don't reach, like criticism about the media outrage machine.
Don't know Colbert that much. Somehow doesn't interest me. But the interview posted above is really funny!

is there anything else?

And what about news in the traditional sense? From the outside the American media landscape is quite confusing.
AFAIKS Fox news and MSNBC are at the right/left end of the spectrum concerning the mainstream media. That doesn't count for me as news, although MSNBC is far more in line with my views. After 2 minutes FOX I pretty much have to shut it down unless out of some reason I want to vomit. Although sometimes its interesting from an educational point of view.

But what do you watch when you just want the information and do the thinking yourself?

I found NBC, ABC informative. But I haven't dived much deeper.

Not to sound pompous, but I prefer to read periodicals.
In my turtle neck... while I sip red wine (lol).

I've been watching Colbert a little lately and I like him. I've always liked Trevor Noah.
Oh yeah, and I love Conan. Not only is he funny, but I find him oddly sexually alluring.
Maybe it's the red hair

I really haven't watched Joh Stewart.
I read CNN, NY Times, and The Wall Street Journal.
Sometimes I check out Fox (mainly to laugh), but I don't have much time.
Days like today it's hard to read any of it. With all the violence, sadness and inequity in the world, sometimes I have to consciously lock it out, so as not to get too upset.
All this cell phone footage of crazy stuff that people catch these days can also be highly traumatizing. There a re a lot of things I just can't watch.

I absolutely love The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and would love to be in his studio audience one day. It's sweet how on every episode he comes out on stage, and goes straight to giving Jon Batiste a hug before he sits down. I love their bromance. I also enjoy Late Night With Seth Meyers (And happen to think he is adorable), as well as The View.

Remote Haptic Toy integration ideas I had while half asleep this morning. No idea if these are good or bad . I'm releasing these into the world for anyone to use.

Hug corset - Sometimes I just want a model to feel hugged.

Tip controlled cock cage - Do the tips lengthen the time the cage is locked? Unlock it sooner? Both? I guess it depends on the type of stream that is being done.

Heart rate monitor integrated into the stream - Works for speed runners and scary game streamers.

Breast massaging bra - Again no guarantee if these are good or bad.

When your grandmom is the first person to 'like' your Facebook post that contains a dirty joke meme. Oh...uh...hi, Grandmom...

 

[yummybrownfox]

Got a peach pineapple punch from a Jamaican restaurant, and I'd say it's the second best beverage I've ever tasted. With #1 being my grandmom's iced tea (She puts oranges in it).

Honestly after this pandemic very little surprises me anymore, but I just can't believe people are taking horse drugs for what? to own scientists? Look at yourself in the mirror in the morning. Do you see a horse? Possibly a clown, most definitely not a horse. My 2 cents.

Several people who have taken the horse stuff but not gotten vaccinated have died from covid.

Am I getting too old? In my day when people took horse drugs it was to get high.

Ketamine, yeah! They used to cut hash with it in Scotland. I forgot all about that

 

[Deleted member 57737]

Ketamine Yess!! Didn't do it for a long time, but if it helps against covid I'm all in!

I think you have got a point here. That's even more embarassing and disappointing. Like, how can they expect people to take them seriously when they can't even do drugs properly and for what they're meant for? It's the total incompetence for me, right? Like, are you a horse? No. Are you going to a party? No. Then don't do horse drugs. Simple as that. Joking.

 

[yummybrownfox]

Gonna treat myself to the movie Candyman later today! And I really, really would like to get some steamed crabs too! This has been the best month ever, and I'm trying to end it on a high note. Lol.

 

[yummybrownfox]

IBC root beer goes great with crabs.

Look what I just found in my Spam folder from Fri Aug 13th.
God forbid videos of me masturbating to GayMenDoFruitsAndVegetables.com get released publically...
My Grandma will finally fully understand why I wouldn't accept carrots or cucumbers in the dinner salad for 3 years.
Lol...

I received a similar email long time ago, and they even knew one of the passwords I used.

They apparently either owned or hacked one of the many websites where I registered, and used that password to prove me they “hacked my email account” - which they did not. Also, they had no virus installed on my computer. That's why they contacted me via email, instead of having their virus pop up a message on my screen directly, which of course would be much more impressive. All they had was my email address and the password which I used for one website, and as I use different passwords for different websites, I understand not to trust that site any longer.

It's smart of them to tell me they know I visit porn sites.
That guess is as good as telling my I drink coffee.

That reminds me: I need more coffee!

Exactly, it's like saying "I know you like candy" or "I know you eat dinner most days".
Oooooooooooooooooh wow. What great potential power you wield over me (eye roll).

ETA; Also I'm pretty sure no one I know gives 2 fucks what type of porn I watch, or whether I even watch porn. The person would have better luck contacting them and asking them for a bitcoin not to tell them .
If they want money from me, then they should offer to give me the passwords I use. I can never remember that shit .

 

[Fatquack]

I don't drink coffee!
(But I do watch porn)

 

[MarieElise]

LOL!!!!!!

Imagine if social media (Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc) were to vanish over night. It would be like the pre 2000's again.

Lol my phone knows more about me than I do.
It just sent me a message telling me it has automatically adjusted my sound and haptics volume to my "preferred level" based upon my headphone usage for the last week? Wtf?
Can't wait to see what it's going to do next... It better not send me an unsolicited dick pic lololololololol!

Sidenote; What the hell is a "Haptic" when it's at home?

Haptic is any computing device that interacts with a person via touch. For example most of the lovesense toys are considered haptic devices.
