The thing about 2026 is that any time I’m about to click into a thread about a beloved public figure, I have to brace for a comment informing me they are a raging zionist or something.

To be clear, that’s not the case with Wallace Shawn. He’s been vocal about Palestine since 2014 and has not minced words.

So there is some good news for anyone else who suffers from this 2026 affliction.

I know that feeling. I lost a good friend to that bullshit. You think you know a guy, then you learn he's OK with genocide.

Every time someone says a baby looks like its mother or its father I point out that actually all babies look like Wallace Shawn.

I thought the trope was they all look like Winston Churchill.

I wonder what Wallace Shawn looked like as a baby? All I can find searching are babies that look like him.

That baby was definitely conceived at least nine months ago.

Wow, that's probably not far off from what I'd imagine Wallace Shawn might've looked like as a baby.

Oh yeah. My son used to stare into the middle distance while filling his diaper
