I really enjoy doing comedy workshops -- I'm happy to help more humans learn how to embrace their own unique sense of humor... in case the AI bots try to become joke-tellers.

Doing another one next weekend, if you've got a free Saturday and want to dive into punchlines for a few hours.

New tonight for the omgreg.com email list:

A mountain of things to talk about in a primary week, but can't get past that Trump clearly knows he's at risk when he retreats to calling The News while he's watching it.

I’ve seen enough: Staying Up Incredibly Late [Incumbent] defeats A Sensible Early Bedtime.

Early vote leaned heavily toward Sensible, but the night-of vote was landslide Staying Up. When all the votes are counted, won’t be close.

Well deserved by an incredible sound team. Emmy winning Star Wars, you love to see it.

So proud of Young Jedi Adventures and the whole crew. Star Wars for kids, made by people who take the galaxy β€” and the audience β€” seriously.

Kai Brightstar forever.

To Adventure.

This obviously very stupid but is it also smart? We’ll talk to some liars after this break.

Guys he's not starting a war to distract from the Epstein files. He's starting a war because he wants to start a war. Killing people in other countries makes him horny. If it also distracts from the Epstein files, great, but he doesn't really give a shit either way.

Just still stunned that the President announced a war
- at 2:30am
- on a social media platform he owns
- from a private golf club he owns
- wearing a baseball cap
- in a video **with several clear jump cuts**

No one is even remotely prepared for rupar’s clips tomorrow morning of every sunday show host asking lindsay graham and john bolton and a retired general with an ff9-steiner chin β€œhow do you define success in the region”

the level of union busting shit pouring into this WNBPA negotiation news cycle is galling but unsurprising. they all use the same playbook

If I could go back in time, sure sure sure the baby Hitler thing but I’m focused on making the 2007 Phoenix Suns hire Sam Presti.

This is, simply, one of the best pieces of sports video I have ever seen.

One wonders how a company that is 80% of an industry and slavishly loyal to our current President -- to the point of making content decisions to please him -- will fare under a different administration.

Truly cannot believe it. Letting funny weirdos make TV? We love to see it.

When we worked together, it was my first tv job and @hellocullen.bsky.social was like Mike O’Donoghue and I was like a scared baby.

Go watch his show and give it *specifically for algo reasons* two thumbs up in the app!

Home | OMGreg 500(ish) words a day on the news, from Emmy-winning comedy writer Greg Iwinski.

This is not an ad, but I'm using beehiiv for omgreg.com. Don't love substack's polymarket shit OR you know, the amplifying self-described nazi speech?

But is anyone else on this? Is everyone over on Ghost? What are people using?

26.02.2026 03:58 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Absolutely.

There is a group of people in the press with an extremely loud microphone who would rather whistle past Trump filling graveyards than admit our system could hand the reins to a dumb immoral guy with mental deterioration.

As of Tuesday, Feb 24th 2026, we're still here. 500ish words on the State of the Union, from Greg Iwinski.

Ok, longer SOTU thoughts up here.

TLDR?

He don't got the juice no more

I think you're going to see a lot of pearl-clutching horror from The Press about this thing. Because it was rude and gross and bad.

But my thought is: dude's cooked. This is the midterm preview? Happy 250th, here's a list of murders, also sorry you're poor but the stock market's at 50k? ROUGH A.F.

Vance never took the lid off the water, so I now assume it was Kalshi bet. One more post here and then off to write a summary on OMGreg.com! The place I contain my political thoughts so you can just get jokes here!

TWO hours in Vance has still not sipped the water! He's just raw dogging SOTU.
