I just gotta say how much I love this weekly treat. Even if I never read another word you wrote (but I do read all of them) this would be worth the price of the subscription. May not say much about how exciting (or not) my life is, but Just for Xeets and Giggles is one of the highlights. And I do want to recognize the level of effort that goes into it.
George Wallace was one of America’s most notorious racists. “Segregation forever.” But then he got shot and paralyzed. He learned what it was like to suffer and it completely changed him. He spent his last years apologizing at Black churches. Trump, who may have been shot in the ear, used it to raise money for himself. Fight, fight, fight!
I feel you on that. On Amazon yesterday I was looking for a specific sunscreen by brand name and the top result was one with glitter in it under the brand name Unicorn Snot. That is NOT the brand I searched for. I understand about sponsored search results but really, what have I been buying to deserve that?
I confuse the Google ads by looking at SO MANY different things. Horse training, gardening, metalworking, travel, etc etc. I have a lot of interests and I think the Google monster has just given up.
I don’t like the whole privacy angle with ad tracking but I don’t fight it because I find it fairly on point for me. I’m a software engineer (mostly retired now) so I mostly just get tech-related stuff.
But if I click on a Robinson-related link, I’m afraid I’ll start getting stuff like “Join our community at techienudes dot com” in my gmail or some such. And worse, with my luck, first thing I’ll see after joining (because, why not???!) is a highly inappropriate image of Leon Musk.
I feel the same way! But of course I DO read all the other words - Mr Jay is one of my go-to writers on the insane state of affairs we currently live in.
Yale, how far you've fallen! Root rot may be to blame for destroying your ivy league reputation... along with more than a few Republicans. I wouldn't send my kid there!
My first thought was Yale was a legacy admission. He really is that stupid. Because he clearly did not mean it as a slur. What a yutz he is. But also, an extremely dangerous yutz.
He hates Billie Eilish too, now. And called Nicky Jam a "she". Sorry... but who is Nicky Jam? And one last dig... heard a blurb from a podcaster saying that J.D.'s initials stand for "Just Dumb".
To deadname is to use the birth name or a previous name a person used before changing their name to their current name.
JD Vance has had several (I believe four) different names before settling on being called JD Vance. I believe Dave is saying that he refers to JD by the name on his birth certificate, which is James Donald Bowman.
I'm assuming the "undecideds" are voting for Trump but desperately trying to milk attention from others while they are trying to convince themselves that SOMETHING about Harris is disqualifying foe them.
(Because they know if they don't vote for her because she's a black woman and no other reason they'll get yelled at. As they should.)
The first one, of Trump unhinged is epic. The only thing I hoped you’d include is a video of The Kiffness “They’re eating the cats” video from some of his live concerts as he’s touring in Europe this week. People in a club in Cologne (Koln) Germany are singing along. It’s simultaneously funny and really sad, given what the world is seeing about us. The good news is he’s raised $20k for the Springfield OH SPCA so far from YouTube alone.
I love this weekly closeout...it's always a treat to laugh my head off at the absurdity of politics (and sometimes, just plain life). I love the rest of your work, too, but Xeets and Giggles just gives the week a good taste (at least for a while).
I really wish that when someone gets a chance to showcase people like Bret Stephens, that they would have the sense to illuminate his hypocrisy:
Trump claims he will reduce everyone's auto-insurance by 73% - How does he plan to do that?
Trump claims he will end the war against Ukraine before he is inaugurated. How does he say he will do that?
Trump is on his 9th year of saying he has a wonderful alternative to Obamacare and will replace it. What is his plan?
Etc. ad infinitum... Sure, Kamala avoids some toxic subjects, but Trump has never once made a policy statement or followed through on his wild promises. Equal time, bro! Unless you are simply trying to demonize Kamala to help your buddy Trump take over?
They are called dammit dolls and you can find them on Amazon. I got one for Christmas and whenever I want to smash something, instead I just take Donald by the feet and smash his little head into something, over and over, and then I feel better. Lately I’ve been using him for a pincushion as well for the hat pins I use for quilting.
Moo Deng is amazing. Watching Republicans bang their heads into walls trying to make any sense at all is getting ridiculous. Also, how do guys get to use an air compressor and a frickin leaf blower and come out looking like they spent their time at a day spa? Excellent, as always.

Thank you! It’s my fav piece to put together each week.
We all really appreciate it so much thank you! I don’t know how you do it with a newborn at home.
Highlight of my week, too. But I'm going to fix that by subscribing to an obscure porn site and using their forum to post bizarre political posts.
Lol
Please let all of know where so we can subscribe to that too…

Interesting comp. I never thought it would affect trump, which is an amazing thing, really.
The only problem is I'm afraid of what a Google search will do to my personalized ads sitch.

Searches from day prior: 1) Shohei Ohtani 2) Cold medicine
Were you hoping to find out when his next game is so you can preemptively call in sick?

Use Duck Duck Go. Privacy protected, no ads pop up.
Just stay away from Ashley Madison. Leakin' like a sieve over there!
After watching the NetFlix documentary on that, it's hard to believe they're still around.
Never heard of it before this week.
I think this was one of the (many) issues with the oldest Duggar kid from 16 or 18 or 25 and counting …
You go boy!
🤪
😏🤣🤦🏽♀️
LOLOLOL!!!!
🤣😂🤣😂

It is my internet highlight of the week, too. I now always look for it on the weekend.
I agree, I look forward to it every week. Thank you
Hatia ?????
He really said that...?
His couch is smarter than he is.🙄🤦♀️
Yale, how far you've fallen! Root rot may be to blame for destroying your ivy league reputation... along with more than a few Republicans. I wouldn't send my kid there!
I know this is a short video that parodies DonOLD and Shady Vance but the words out of their mouths are exactly what they said.

Sperm for brains. Each time he goes at the couch he has fewer and fewer brain cells

My respect for Dan Quayle grows every minute that JD Vance remains the Republican VP nominee.
He hates Billie Eilish too, now. And called Nicky Jam a "she". Sorry... but who is Nicky Jam? And one last dig... heard a blurb from a podcaster saying that J.D.'s initials stand for "Just Dumb".
I'm still baffled at the undecideds. How?
People who say they're undecided at this point are either monumentally stupid or attention hounds.
Or have managed to shield themselves from politics for the last 10 years.
Or Justa Dick.
Jizzed Davenport
I am baffled too. I've also heard Juvenile Deliquent. I had to look up Nicky Jam, who does not now look like that photo.
Love that moniker for JD.
I just deadname the SOB at nearly every opportunity.
What does that mean?
To deadname is to use the birth name or a previous name a person used before changing their name to their current name.
JD Vance has had several (I believe four) different names before settling on being called JD Vance. I believe Dave is saying that he refers to JD by the name on his birth certificate, which is James Donald Bowman.
Thanks for explaining. Hm. I wonder why Juvie Deliquent keeps changing his name.
The first couple of changes were made because his mom got remarried and his new stepfather adopted him. The last few are all on JD.

(Because they know if they don't vote for her because she's a black woman and no other reason they'll get yelled at. As they should.)
I seriously think there is no amount of money most people would take to support that ... person.
Yet there are many people with no scruples who have taken bribes (or been blackmailed) to publicly support Trump.
And many, many more who have eagerly coughed up beaucoup moola to do so. They will never be convinced that they are the marks in a very long con.

Edit: for those who haven’t seen it, the original video from The Kiffness is here:
https://youtu.be/3BrCvZmSnKA?si=NslhiJBTfsDwvPoZ
OMG the audience is signing "they're eating the cats." LOL. Mockery is the best weapon against this stuff.
Thanks for including the links, Sioux. Glad David is raising money from his clever parody and donating to the cats and dogs.
That's quite a crowd for someone who before this was relatively unknown.
The original video was in Kuo's Xeets & Giggles of last week.
I hope Kiffness won't have to give up any of the proceeds to the Trump campaign for incorporating his utterances into his song.
No chance. Even The Convict's lawyers know anything uttered from a candidate's mouth in public is not protected IP.
What would you call a really lazy baby kangaroo? A pouch potato.
Hey, there's Jay's Dad joke for today!!
😂😂😂
😂
OMG thank you for taking the time, Jay!!! Especially with a new baby!!
Every Saturday I wake up, get my coffee, feed the dogs and search for the weekly Xeets and giggles! You made my day today!!!!
Same!
That George Zimmerman one, though! Spot on 🎯
Thank you SO MUCH for some Saturday morning spit-takes! My cats and dog now think mom has lost her marbles 👍🤣
What a week--you just can't make this stuff up!
I thought yesterday was Saturday and spent too much time waiting for this post. 😂 Happy Saturday!
Awwww!
Thanks, Jay! After this crazy week I so needed this.
I love this weekly closeout...it's always a treat to laugh my head off at the absurdity of politics (and sometimes, just plain life). I love the rest of your work, too, but Xeets and Giggles just gives the week a good taste (at least for a while).
It’s a Kuos out!
Ha...yes it is! I used the wrong word, dang it!
Here's a dad joke for you:
I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.
I really wish that when someone gets a chance to showcase people like Bret Stephens, that they would have the sense to illuminate his hypocrisy:

I want me a VooDoo of Donold. Where can I get one?
They are called dammit dolls and you can find them on Amazon.

Maybe the problem is the day spa?
