Here's a rare photo of me doing crowdwork, taken at the Ice House in Pasadena. God willing, I will be doing a 100% crowdwork free set this Saturday evening on the very same stage. It's a 5pm show, your kids will be fine if you sneak out for a few hours.

Congratulations to our client, @LukeJu22, on being announced as a @wsop_academy Global Ambassador!
Winning the WSOP Main Event changes your life. The $10,000,000 bank wire. The notoriety. The legacy. That would be enough for anyone to coast through the rest of their life. But that’s not enough for everyone. 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐬 𝐉𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐖𝐒𝐎𝐏 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐚𝐩𝐩. He vows to introduce the game to a new generation of poker enthusiasts. “Not long ago, I was the kid dreaming about winning the World Series of Poker Main Event. Now I have the opportunity to help someone else chase that same dream,” said Jumalon. As part of this landmark agreement, Jumalon will embark on a season-long tour, visiting WSOP Circuit events across the globe in search of his own poker protégé. At each stop along the tour, the world champion will host a special meet-up game exclusively for WSOP Academy customers. One player in each meet-up game will be awarded a complimentary seat to that stop’s WSOP Circuit Main Event. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 $𝟏𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟕 𝐖𝐒𝐎𝐏 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭. We’re stoked to document his journey on our official YouTube channel. Stay on the lookout for our first post next month! @LukeJu22

Absolutely crazy the consistency with which the Trump family keeps ending up on the side of grown men who abuse young girls.
YIkes! Ohio watch this and think about what it means.

Do you think you could tell the difference between what Trump is doing and someone pulling a Nathan Fielder-type joke on everyone where he runs for president and then says increasingly ridiculous things to see what it takes for people to finally break?
