A true delight this week, as Rosie O’Donnell stood in for Jimmy Kimmel. Here she was in rare form:
Fun fact: I’ll soon have an announcement about how we’ll be working with Rosie on a project! More to come on that.
While Rosie is looking great, the president… not so much.
(Trouble opening? Here’s the original video on Twitter.)
Newsom’s press office had a theory…
A perfect way to sum up our current state of leadership:
Eric Trump wants us to feel sorry for his dad. Mrs. Betty Bowers responded.
Here’s Rosie again, this time with a monologue set to music!

The catering cart story hasn’t died down.
And it generated an ever bigger story after it was revealed Natalie Harp was on that cart with Trump. Sen. Jon Ossoff said just three words about her, and the White House erupted.
Rosie went in hard.
(Original)
The right melted down completely.
Surely someone would defend the pair?
The jokes came faster than I could collect them.
People couldn’t help but notice something:
The internet is lightning fast.
Stories of Harp’s unhealthy, clingy relationship to the president began to bubble up.
She even ran after him on the golf course when there was no seat for her in the carts.
Run, Natalie, Run!
“Insane Bolt.” I tip my hat!
Some people think we should just let the woman be.
But given that she is literally shaping Trump’s mind with her printouts of glowing stories about him and social media posts for him to repost, I think not.
This one got me.
Would Melania let herself be replaced so publicly?
I guess not!
This wasn’t the only embarrassing thing to happen on a stage. There was Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline, who was appointed to his seat and is now running to keep it.
Here’s Jimmy Fallon speaking with Catherine Jarrett as Darline.

I put this one in yesterday’s write-up, but in case you missed it, here it is again.
As the nation faces another bacterial outbreak linked to salad sprouts…
Lettuce not forget poor Mitch.
Not everything is horrifying. Apparently, Mayor Zohran Mamdani can deliver an address in Mandarin Chinese. Which is really only horrifying for the children of Chinese mothers.
(Original)
Mamdani’s abilities are so incredible and aggravating to MAGA that his office has to put this out.

NYC really is not the same. In a very good way.
Speaking of big data and the surveillance state, the Empire showed up at a hearing in San Diego.

Right-wing media is busily attacking Democrats as communists…
This one made the rounds in my own community:
At least right-wing conspiracy theorists continue to lose ground to science!
People miss or skip past this ask, so I’m going to put it in a few times today, heh. Upgrade to a paid subscription and help me keep this a free service for those less fortunate!
Can’t claim you didn’t see it!
On to our furry friends!
I already adore this good boy from this short video.
They really do look like them, hahaha!
Lots of cat material this week. I didn’t know a “cat attack” of this sort was possible. May need to experience it to verify.
(Original)
Over in China, a fisher cat became a legend.
(Original)
The commentary was amazing, but this one made me guffaw.
My cat is named Shade, but this one served it so very well.
(Original)
I appreciate how this kitty appeared to understand and accept the plan.
(Original)
I have done this from time to time myself.
The replies included this unintentionally funny AI fact-check that no one asked for.
Thanks for nothing, AI!
These guinea pig leaps are so cute! But stay till the end of this clip.

He touched the lava!
The video is fascinating, but the caption lifts it to a whole new level.
(Original)
Do you think this person played this part one too many times in school plays?
(Original)
This is why I do not set a morning alarm.

This letter must have been so satisfying to send.
I loved both the content and delivery here.
I admit to having questions about the limitations of Trek food-replicator technology.
When the drone wars come, they will come for your pool.
(Caution)
This is a short series I call men behaving stupidly. There are risks to hot dogging…
Those darned garage doors get so many dudes. (Glad he’s fine.)
I’m quite certain some guy thought they should do this experiment. The caption FTW.

You didn’t know you needed Harrison Ford on Sesame Street with Cookie Monster. But you needed Harrison Ford on Sesame Street with Cookie Monster.

I didn’t realize style guru was both knowledgeable and hilarious.
For those in Hotlanta, this song’s for you!

You don’t need a fancy setup to find joy and wonder. Just imagination!
(Original)
The World Humanoid Robot Games are take place in China each year. And this year, one robot-in-training went Looney Tunes on everyone.
(Original)
For those worried about the sheer speed and power of that robot…
And no, it was real.
Here’s the story. You laugh now. But the robots will remember who laughed.
Makes you long for the old days, before everything was automated!
Let’s end a very silly week with a very silly compilation.

This couple returned to claim the crown with yet another amazing dad joke set.
