  1. The Shadow Docket: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

    May 11, 2026

    "John Oliver discusses the shadow docket – a shortcut to the Supreme Court which is rapidly advancing the Trump administration’s agenda. Plus, some fun and unexpected facts about turtles [And #MilitaryDolphins]! You know, to spice things up."

  2. John Oliver and his team have a knack for shining the light on important, but less talked about issues.

  8. So, while watching this week's #LastWeekTonight with #JohnOliver, hubby and I saw someone with 19 AI "friends". We chuckled because I have way more than 19 "stuffie friends" (one of my 'weaknesses'), each with their own name, personality and backstory. And ALL from my imagination! I may have *imaginary* friends, but at least I have an imagination (and they all have some sort of physical form -- even if they are stuffies).

  9. What if we all bet money on climate action and affordable housing and then someone made it happen because they could?

    (I never heard of "prediction markets" before this episode, it's the Uber of gambling, WTF)

  10. Fantastic video from John Oliver on sex work from 4 years ago;

    tube.aquilenet.fr/w/2KCe6n3TUU

    John discusses problems created by criminalising workers, problems created by criminalising buyers, and problems created by dumb forms of legal regulation, then sings the praises of NZ's decriminalisation model. Although laser kiwi is gunning for him after his takedown of kiwis taste in national birds. A wrong duck indeed ...

  11. RE: flipboard.com/@newyorktimes/ne

    The corrected headline (and the one NYT won't use because of conflict of interest) is "Soldiers scapegoated, prosecuted for winning Maduro ouster bets, while there were zero prosecutions of ultra-wealthy with insider info for doing exactly the same thing"

    Also, John Oliver did a segment on Prediction Markets. Spoiler: It is not a good outcome if you lack insider info.

  15. Wow. I guess #Paramount will now own #HBO (among other networks).

    I wonder if some popular shows on HBO who were heavily critical of #Trump (that would be #LastWeekTonight with #JohnOliver & #RealTime with #BillMaher) will be cancelled as a result of this purchase‽

    👉🏾 #Netflix says it won't raise its offer for Warner Bros. businessinsider.com/netflix-de

  17. Hello there! This is my #introduction. I'm a lifelong resident of the "Triangle Area” in North Carolina and currently reside on a very rural 5 acres northwest of Hillsborough NC with my spouse and animals.

    I'm a huge #Americana music fan, I get all my news from #LastWeekTonight, #TheDailyShow, and #JoshJohnson. I'm newly #retired from #highered and trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. Most days you'll find me #hiking the #eno with my #rescuedog - a #miniaussie named Chaos.

  18. Public Media: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

    Nov 17, 2025

    John Oliver discusses the vital role public media plays in the lives of many Americans, how the Trump Administration’s massive budget cuts could impact those Americans directly, and why Mr. Bean is the greatest British comedian in history. Ya, that’s right, Rowan “Mr. Bean” Atkinson.
