A place of satire, poetry, politics and popular culture. Hope there is something here worth a smile.

“Ukrainian President Zelensky made an appearance on the Grammys. He gave a heartfelt address to the Grammys audience. He said, ‘The silence of ruined cities and killed people. What is more opposite to music?’ Which is very profound: What is more opposite to music? I thought he was going say Nickelback, which would have been a sick burn. But this was better — keep it focused.” —Jimmy Kimmel
“And I got to say as a 48-year-old man, I was just happy to see someone at the Grammys whose name I knew.” —Seth Meyers
“Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy also appeared at the Grammys in a pre-taped address, and urged viewers to support Ukraine. ‘Fill the silence with your music!,’ he said. ‘Fill it today. To tell our story.’ Adding ‘But not you, Kanye, we’re dealing with enough already.’” —Stephen Colbert

“President Biden referred this week to Vladimir Putin, Russia’s leader, as a ‘war criminal,’ and a Kremlin spokesman responded by saying the statement was unfair and hypocritical, citing the United States’ bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. Seriously, Russia, you’re gonna bring up something America did in the ’40s? America has committed plenty of war crimes since then. Keep up with the times, yo!” —Trevor Noah
“And just because America committed war crimes doesn’t mean you have to as well, Vladimir Putin. If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too? No, seriously, would you? I’m just brainstorming ways to end this whole thing.” —Trevor Noah
“In other Russia news, pharmaceutical companies stopped shipping non-essential drugs to Russia, including Botox, which is interesting, because Vladimir Putin is widely rumored to use Botox. They’re just rumors, but based on one photograph he absolutely, 100% does. It’s like a real housewife of St Petersburg. What a weird time for Russians: their assets are frozen but their foreheads are not.” —Jimmy Kimmel
“In case you forgot, 2019 is when then-president Trump spoke to Volodymyr Zelensky on the phone and threatened to withhold military aid unless the Ukrainian president provided him a political favor; the call underpinned Trump’s first impeachment trial. Yet in a speech this week, the House minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, blamed Biden for holding up aid to Ukraine. Are you for real? Does your cable package not have History Channel: Stuff That Happened Three Years Ago? You’re saying Biden is the one who should’ve given Ukraine the aid sooner? The guy you supported tried to extort Ukraine like a mob boss counting singles in the back room of a strip club.” —Seth Meyers

“But Zelensky appealed directly to Congress. He said, ‘We need you right now.’ And Congress was like, ‘Listen, we’d love to help, but we just made daylight saving time permanent and we are wiped out, so.’” —Jimmy Kimmel
“Zelensky asked America to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine, which we’re reluctant to do because it could result in nuclear war. But we are willing to wear blue and yellow lapel pins at all the awards shows this month, so that’s something, right?” —Jimmy Kimmel
“He got two standing ovations, which was nice. I think he’d rather get fighter jets, but the standing ovations were good.” —Jimmy Kimmel
“It was bipartisan. Republicans and Democrats stood for him, which is almost impossible. It’s like getting Kim and Kanye to agree on a day care situation — it’s very difficult.” —Jimmy Kimmel
“One of the ‘few bright spots’ in the horrific Ukraine invasion, has been watching Russian oligarchs’ super-yachts get seized by other governments; one Russian-owned yacht is stranded in Norway because locals refuse to refuel it. Every once and awhile the Norwegians like to remind us they descended from Vikings, you know?” —Jimmy Kimmel

“But on the bright side, this is the perfect excuse to pretend you’re going to get back on the bike you bought mid-pandemic and rode twice.” —James Corden
“Some people go for the jugular. America? They go for the McRib.” —James Corden
“President Biden’s latest approval rating is about 45%,which if you’ve seen his past numbers, pretty much counts as beloved. To the Biden camp, this is like Paul Rudd numbers.” —Seth Meyers
“I also admired President Zelensky’s video from Kyiv, in which he said wasn’t hiding. Dude, I salute your courage, but it’s fine if you hide. It’s a war, not WWE – ‘I’m right here, brother! Any time, any place.’” —Seth Meyers
