Okay, I finally thought of a good use for AI. Anytime any goddamn putz shares a blackface picture or similar stereotypical picture of some group, I want an app that generates the ugliest, most heinous reprehensible caricature of the SHARER, then blasts it to millions of people

So sad to hear about #joeflaherty My 80th birthday tribute from a couple years ago is now an obit. He was a funny, funny man travsd.wordpress.com/2021/06/21/hap…

'It’s been 100 years since the Brothers made their Bway debut, but their influence goes on and on.' - Noah Diamond Marxfest: 'the greatest convocation of Marx Brothers lovers since the Jazz Age, with more bearded professors than Horse Feathers!” - @travsd

Another ridiculous event!
⭐️ THE HERRING BARREL REVUE
@travsd Noah Diamond & Jonny Porkpie, together again for the first time, present a night of Marxian shenanigans & a cavalcade of eccentric entertainers. At some point we're going to run out of great events to announce, right?!

Get ready for Marxfest 2024: our second NYC convocation celebrating America’s greatest comedy team The Marx Brothers, coming in May travsd.wordpress.com/2024/03/18/who…

Sweet shout-out to Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd in the stunting tribute on the Oscars just now! Learn about them and many another self-stunting comedian in my book 'Chain of Fools' -- or wait a few weeks and get the audiobook! bearmanormedia.com/products/chain…

More ridiculous events: Marxfest 2024 shall feature TWO outstanding TravSD talks!

⭐️ THE MARX BROTHERS: VAUDEVILLE, SILENT FILM, AND BROADWAY!

⭐️ THE MARX BROTHERS, CONEY ISLAND, AND SIDESHOW!

Richard Lewis was hella funny and also kinda hot. Google will feed you sites with shoddy AI-crafted profiles but this one by TravSD is total quality: travsd.wordpress.com/2021/06/29/ric… #RIPRichardLewis

RIP Richard Lewis. My 2021 tribute to the late comedian is here travsd.wordpress.com/2021/06/29/ric…

Mitch McConnell announced he’s stepping down as Senate Majority leader come November. He insists that this won’t be retirement but instead a process whereby he partially buries himself in the mud at the bottom of a frozen pond, slowing down his life functions until springtime.

I thought Bradley Cooper was a tiny British car, armored for troop protection, with a gun turret on top.

The story of America in the 20th century can be boiled down to just a few letters 'Hep vs. Pep'. Now that there are no longer any really cool people, and the most energetic of us lack focus and purpose, in the spirit of Ben Franklin you can pare it down to just two letters: 'vs.'
