You’ve probably heard about the AI-generated video that Trump posted to Truth Social, where he interrupts Stephen Colbert’s farewell monologue on the last episode of The Tonight Show to throw Colbert into a dumpster. I’ve posted the video below, as an unlisted video on my own channel, to ensure that I don’t have to point to some MAGA account and help them profit from it:

The actual White House Twitter account reposted the video, which is another data point for the “Everyone is twelve now” theory:

Colbert’s video

What makes for far better and longer viewing is Stephen Colbert’s return to public access television a mere 23 hours after the final Tonight Show. He returned to his roots on Monroe, Michigan’s Monroe Public Access Cable Television, which is now called Monroe Community Media 1, to host their show, titled Only in Monroe.

He was joined by a number of famous locals:

• Only in Monroe’s regular hosts, Michelle Baumann and Kaye Lani Rae Rafko Wilson (who was Miss America in 1988). They drank shots of Cain & Grain from a local distiller, River Raisin Distillery.
• Jack White — yes, the Jack White from The White Stripes, as the musical director, complete with boom box and reel-to-reel tape player.
• Steve Buscemi, who made a public service announcement for the Buscemi’s Pizza in Monroe to clarify he has no connection to them
• Byron Allen, via FaceTime. He’s taking over “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” timeslot with back-to-back episodes of his syndicated Comics Unleashed.
• Jeff Daniels, who joined for an on-screen picnic lunch featuring a sandwich he invented, followed by destroying the set, with the approval of…
• …an unofficial fire marshall names Marshall Mathers, whom you might know as Eminem.

If you watch only one of the two videos featured in thsi article, make it the second one.

If you watch only one public access cable show this year, make it Stephen Colbert’s episode of Only in Monroe.

But there are people with longer commutes, stronger thirsts,  and bigger bladders for whom the standard cup holder is not enough. Fortunately for these thirsty customers, there’s a whole industry of cup holder adapters, and within that industry, a specific kind of adapter: the half gallon milk crate adapter:

The ad copy for the version available at Walmart’s online store says it’s “Specifically designed to hold half-gallon square cartons, milk jugs, and large juice boxes that don’t fit in standard round cup holders”…

…and thanks to 3-D printing and the entrepreneurial spirit, there’s no shortage of Etsy vendors who can sell you one:

While I’ve never felt the urge to take a half gallon of ice tea, juice, or milk as my long-drive drink (mostly because the drink would get warm before I was halfway done), I’m pretty sure there’s a sea of customers out there who are looking for this kind of thing.

Besides, the adapter also doubles as container for keeping things organized in your car.

“How hip is Lucky Tigre?” you might ask. It’s this hip:

Here’s a closeup of their “wallpaper,” featuring old-school ads you’d see in magazines in the Philippines, including a promo for the anime TV series Voltes V, one of my favorite cartoons from my childhood:

They even have hip Filipino literature!

And the food’s great. Here’s what we ordered:

Pictured above from left to right: beef lumpia (egg rolls), tocino pork ribs with garlic rice and atchara (pickled papaya), mochi fried chicken.

Anyway, on our way into the restaurant to get our take-out order, we saw the “Happy waifu, happy laifu” anime sticker on the Tesla. I figured the car belonged to the two cosplayers in their early twenties sitting in the back corner of the restaurant.

But as we left the restaurant, we saw the car’s owners getting in the driver and front passenger seats — and they were a grandpa and grandma couple!

“Whaaaat?” Anitra exclaimed. “That was not the couple I was expecting to own that car.”

“Me neither,” I replied, “but that means that someday, WE can be the weird old anime couple at the hip restaurant. Relationship goals, sweetie!”

I saw this a couple of weeks ago in Austin at Uncommon Objects, a delightfully quirky antique/vintage furniture/housewares shop will a lot of really cool stuff. It’s worth a visit!

Anitra and I were dropping off a package at the UPS Store on Kennedy when we saw a “no weapons” sticker on the bridal gown store next door. I know some people who work in the wedding industry, and from the stories they tell, I’m not surprised.
