Watch all of the original 1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration TikTok posts from Oct. 17-Oct. 23, 2025 on YouTube!+++This week on the show...Day 271 fell on the day of the second No Kings Day protest, which turned out to be one of the largest protests in American history. You’ll get to hear it in a moment, but I managed to tie this in with the boxing promoter Don King, Kid Rock, Howard Stern, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. As I write these words now, I have to wonder how I became a person who has this disparate group of people floating around in my mind.Speaking of boxing, or more specifically, people indiscriminately beating each other senseless: On Day 272, we discuss this upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place at, where else, the White House, and how I am actually okay with it because to me that means there will eventually be drag shows shows there, too.On Day 273, I can’t help but report about the recent deconstruction at the White House, but don’t expect me to be up in arms about it because, frankly, I’m fine with the entire building coming down. This house is no home. It was built with slave labor, and why would I want to celebrate that? If anything, it is another reminder that Black and Indigenous women should be running this nation. I am only chagrined that the crew didn’t play “Burning Down The House” by Talking Heads during the process, but the leader of the Trump administration doesn’t have the taste level for that.On Day 274, I hip you all to the recent episode of The Al Franken Podcast featuring comedian, writer, and political commentator John Fugelsang, who speaks, as the son of a nun, about right-wing Christian hypocrisy as it relates to the teachings of Christ. I mention this not to point out the obvious, but to provide a concrete go-to source for us all to use in the future, such as during the Thanksgiving holiday when we are most likely to encounter those who may benefit from Fugelsang’s perspective.On Day 275, I come face to face, or at least as face to face as one can be in a comments section, with a commenter whose username is not Colonel Dingus, but is close enough that I decide to refer to this commenter as Colonel Dingus. Of course, this leads to a discussion of what it takes to become a colonel, and naturally, I wonder if the Colonel can somehow, someway, put me in touch with the elusive cereal titan Captain Crunch.On Day 276, I address a commenter named Phaydin who dares to criticise my appropriation of the actual name of the previous day’s commenter into a variation that suited my need for laughter. Why this person is protecting Colonel Dingus is not up for speculation. Because Phaydin spells Phaydin with a “ph,” I decide that Phaydin must be a fan of the band Phish, because why the hell not?On Day 277, we celebrate entering the end of our teens. That’s right! We have reached 19% of 1461 days of ignoring the Trump administration and, as you know by now, I take the time to acknowledge these milestones and to remind myself that the reason I am doing this is selfish. I want to remain mindful, optimistic, and hopeful during these turbulent times, and practicing the self-discipline of checking in each day helps me to do that. I also take the opportunity to put my cat into the TikTok thumbnail image. She didn’t care.+++Pre-Order My Book!The Apples In Stereo by Josh Bloom | Out Dec. 9, 2025“This book is completely different from the way I thought of things, but it appears to be accurate!” —Robert Schneider of The Apples In Stereo“Art is messy!

Strange for a ten year old? Yes!My writing today is governed by deadpan sarcasm that goes granular on various cultural topics that I am deeply curious about. I hope you enjoy this sometimes snarky stream of consciousness.I'm serious about not taking life too seriously.™❤️ 🏳️🌈 ✡️ 🧘♂️ 🥯 🍔 🍩+++Connect with Josh: Visit me everywhere for everything at http://superjews.com or http://iamjoshbloom.com.
