Mark Normand's naan binary pun ran the day
Four words from Mark Normand, gender fluid Indian equals naan binary, did more numbers than anything else in comedy Sunday. Meanwhile Jeff Dye spent the whole day arguing with his own replies, and Are You Garbage finally put their special out.

Mark Normand's naan binary pun was the joke of the day
Normand posted a five word pun Sunday afternoon and let it sit there with no setup, no image, no link. It is the kind of thing he does constantly, and this one landed hardest.
Gender fluid Indian = naan binary
Jeff Dye posted through it: Rowling, Newsom, and his own conservatism
Dye spent a run of posts on politics: a sarcastic defense of JK Rowling aimed at Hollywood, a list of the parts of him that are conservative, a Gavin Newsom Mount Rushmore budget joke, and a call to normalize athletes not talking to sports media. The Rowling post is written straight, but it is a bit, right down to telling her to "do better" for her "basic common sense". Read it here.
I’ll never forgive JK Rowling for having her own thoughts.
The part that believes in a capitalist free market. The part that is patriotic about his country the way anyone else is about their country.
Normalize not talking to sports media.
