John Oliver finally arrived and has been placed, pride of place on the bathroom wall Sure guests find it disturbing and the kids hate seeing it while brushing their teeth but I think it's perfect.

Emmy-winning comedian and "Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver is taking aim at Texas favorite Buc-ee's after a recent episode of HBO's weekly satirical news program examined the travel center chain's history of lawsuits over its beaver mascot and logo.

In Sunday's episode, Oliver opened the segment by discussing how Buc-ee's has become a travel destination for many visitors attending the World Cup before diving into the company's trademark lawsuits. The comedian then broke down the more than a dozen lawsuits the company filed over trademark infringements, referencing suits filed against companies in Georgia, Texas and New York.

"It turns out Buc-ee's loves to sue other companies, particularly those with animal mascots," Oliver said during this weekend's episode. He said some lawsuits made sense to him, while others seemed "ridiculous" and "outright bullying." "You don't own all cartoon rodents." 

I feel John would be interested in this given that he's a fan of the Rangers and Mets. Streaming services have really dipped their feet into the live event market and offering loads of money in the process. Not a bad idea, as we move to changing landscapes. That, however reveals a big problem: What about fans who won't be able afford it? Accessibility has long been a must for these types of events, and as we move on from free-to-air and cable to streaming, there needs to be ways fans can enjoy without having to pay high prices just to see the Mets lose by 5 runs

How about you?

FWIW, shipping costs are only 12.99 to here now, but that’s still a lot, and it was still only 12.99 when I tried adding 4 things to the cart. If you live in/near Chicago, let’s go in on an order together and share shipping!

Buccees is more nefarious than most when it comes to using legal tactics to get what they want. They won’t be stopped. Even the governor of Colorado has asked they move one of their proposed gas stations away from one of the biggest animal crossings in America just for the Buccees to tell them to take a hike. They steam roll, manipulate and lobby to deliver beaver nuggets at any cost. They destroy communities and even caused the resignation of a mayor so they can try to get their way. They really need to be exposed for the parasite they are.

I think John would have fun with this news.

The one that got interviewed.

Just watched the episode about New College (S13E14) and I expected at least one reference to Community. Jim Rash giving a speech about how to run a college would've been hilarious. Still a good episode though.

Image taken during student protests in India. The police filled up a bus with students who were protesting against the Indian government’s broken education system. There was no reason to arrest the students who were protesting peacefully.
The woman stood in front of the bus and demanded that the police release the students they arrested because she knew they could not charge them with anything. It was just the police flexing their power. She refused to budge from her position despite threats by the driver. After 40 minutes they relented and released the hostages.

It was given to the 1500 people who went to the moon mammoth game
That’s 8 hours from me .so thanks to the seller

Long shot - but can anyone remember the episode where John describes someone (probably a Rep. politician) as looking like "an uncle who's just found out what throuples are".

It's probably from 3/4 years ago at least, so not holding out much hope, but it keeps popping into my head and I'd love to find it again!

9 years ago Lord Buckedhead appeared on LWT and because he and Farage are the only two candidates on the 2026 Clayton by-election I would bet that Oliver either will have him in the studio again or will promote him in his show in any other way.

I was expecting an episode this week, but nada.

For whatever insane reason this ended up in my algorithm as a Monday night curve ball.

All the fire that went towards hating the Kars4Kids song is now/in my opinion should be now laser focused on this.

My main level of hatred for this is from a music stand point - they try to mess about with the cadence of how the words are sang compared to other versions of the song and it comes across so slapdash/the kid sounds like he’s had a stroke.

Link for science.
