Randy Rainbow Skewers 'Phony' Trump With Brutally Hilarious 'Pink Pony Club' Parody Video
Nov 11, 2025
Political satirist and YouTube star Randy Rainbow is at it again, this time channeling pop star Chappell Roan with a take on "Pink Pony Club" aimed at President Donald Trump that skewers him over his recent scandals and role in the ongoing government shutdown.
Rainbow "sits down" with Trump for an interview in the "Liberace showroom" that used to be the East Wing of the White House, a reference to the recent demolition that is making way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom archivists and preservationists say will overwhelm the presidential residence.
After "questioning" Trump about the shutdown and the decision to prosecute political rivals including New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey—all of which Trump responds to with the phrase "Democrats woke"—Rainbow finally begins to sing an homage to Roan's club hit.
He sings:
"I know the stupid s**t you say is frankly as authentic as your dollar tree toupee / All talk with little follow-through and no one here believes you care about anyone but you"
"Whaddup, America? When did we lose our spines? / Go tell Melania it's time for Shady Pines / You're acting like a dictator of some regime which more than likely stems from your low self esteem"
"God, shut the f**k up / You're a big phony gurl / And we've all got your numbah, busta / Ahhh, when will you stop / With your spray tan that peels / It's obvious hun, you're just a"
"Big phony schmuck / You're gonna keep on acting like a big phony schmuck / You're gonna keep on ruling like a despotic douche / You're gonna keep on acting like a big phony schmuck / big phony schmuck"
You can see where Rainbow took his parody next in the video below.
People loved every second of it.
Earlier this year, Rainbow channeled the fairy godmother from Cinderella in a video that mocks Trump's "incompetent" Cabinet officials.
In it, he "presses" Trump's Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth about his reported use of multiple Signal group chats to discuss sensitive military matters before launching into a parody of “Impossible” from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella that also criticizes Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
Rainbow notes that "for Donald standards seldom apply" and that while Trump "abhors DEI," he still "loves an unremarkable resumé."
The incompetence grows worse by the day so we won't have to wait long before Rainbow blesses us with another parody of whatever nonsense Trump does next.

Millie Bobby Brown Tells The Media To 'Get Off My F—king Case' After Cruel Scrutiny Over Her Looks
Nov 11, 2025
Stranger Things Millie Bobby Brown has called out the media—again—for their portrayal of her appearance in their headlines.
Brown's career was hard-launched when she was ten years old when she introduced the iconic "Eleven" character in the Stranger Things franchise, and the public has really struggled to accept the fact that she's a human being who will grow and change like the rest of us, meaning she can't stay ten years old forever.
The actress previously called out journalists, particularly female journalists, for bullying her for changing her look, for being a woman, and for getting married.
"I started in this industry when I was 10 years old. I grew up in front of the world, and for some reason, people can't seem to grow up with me."
"Instead, they act like I'm supposed to stay frozen in time, like I should still look the way I did on 'Stranger Things' Season One, and because I don't, now I'm a target."
Unfortunately, Brown's feelings about being "a target" in the headlines has not changed since she called out female journalists last March.
This week, in an interview with British Vogue, Brown not only still views this as bullying, but she's totally over the headlines and calling out journalists to stay out of her business.
In her interview with British Vogue, Brown stated:
"I respect journalism. I love reading articles on my favorite people and hearing what they're up to."
"I understand there's paparazzi, even though it's invasive, even though it feels like s**t to me; I know that's your job."
"But don't, in your headline, slam me at the get-go."
"'Oh my god, what has she done with her face? Why has she gone blonde? She looks 60 years old!"
"It is so wrong and it is bullying, especially to young girls who are new to this industry and are already questioning everything about it."
"It's, like, get off my f**king case, you know? I am 21. I am going to have fun and play and be myself."
Fans of Millie Bobby Brown stated that she had a point.
It might be surprising to see someone grow up right in front of our eyes, especially when they were one of our favorite characters on one of our greatest comfort shows. That said, it's never okay to pick apart a person's appearance simply because they had the gall to grow up and express themselves.
Hopefully, the headlines will shift, and Millie Bobby Brown won't need to make another statement like this in another six months.

Glenn Close Offers Hilarious Reaction After 'All's Fair' Is Met With Abysmal Reviews From Critics
Nov 11, 2025
Well, Disney+ and Hulu's new Ryan Murphy series All's Fair hasn't exactly gone according to plan, garnering some of the worst reviews in the history of television.
And star Glenn Close had a perfect response to the critics.
The divorce-law dramedy, which stars Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nash-Betts, Sarah Paulson, Teyana Taylor and Naomi Watts along with Close, has gotten ravaged by critics and social media users alike.
One critic from The Guardian quipping, "I did not know it was still possible to make television this bad"—and that's one of the kinder lines.
But of course, a veteran like Close isn't about to take this sitting down, and on Instagram she posted a response for the ages.
On Instagram, Close posted a sketch of herself and her coworkers smiling around a steaming pot labeled, "critic-bunny stew."
This is of course a reference to once of Close's most iconic roles, deranged mistress Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction.
In the film, Forrest becomes so obsessed with her married lover Dan, played by Michael Douglas, that she begins terrorizing him and his family when he rejects her after a one-night stand.
The apex of her retaliation? Breaking into Dan's house while he and his wife and daughter are away and putting the little girl's pet bunny in a pot on the stove, so that it's boiling away like stew when they return home.
It's a classic scene and one of the all-time great story twists in which a woman at least temporarily gets revenge on a man who kinda deserves it (even if the film as a whole is so explicitly misogynist it borders on parody).
And many took Close's post as the perfect response to the critical drubbing of All's Fair, which also centers on women beating men at their own game, in this case by forming their own high-powered divorce law firm.
Close isn't the only one who's taken the All's Fair criticism with a healthy dose of humor.
Kardashian herself, whose acting is the focus of the show's most severe criticisms, posted a carousel of review screenshots to Instagram with the pithy caption:
"Have you tuned in to the most critically acclaimed show of the year!?!?!?
But as a sophisticated, seasoned legend with a whopping eight Oscar nominations, Close's joking take on the controversy struck people as downright hilarious.
Close's own colleagues loved the post too, including Watts, Taylor and Hulu itself.
"All's fair in love and war" and "there's no such thing as bad publicity"—two truisms that the All's Fair cast seem to know all too well!

Newsom Offers Scathing One-Word Response To 8 Democrats Who Caved And Voted With GOP To End Shutdown
Nov 11, 2025
California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the eight Democratic Senators who voted with Republicans to end the government shutdown by advancing a spending deal that notably omits an extension of expanded Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies.
Under the current agreement, the enhanced subsidies would expire, though senators would have the option to revisit the issue later in the year. Supporters of the compromise say that deferring the vote was the only viable path forward, as many Republicans refused to discuss the subsidies until the government reopened.
All of this happened as the Trump administration faces accusations it is orchestrating a hunger crisis by allowing SNAP benefits to lapse and then fighting court orders to release the funds so people who rely on these benefits to eat can do so. Republicans were facing significant backlash for holding these funds hostage.
But now Democrats are facing heavy criticism for their action... mere days after winning pivotal races around the country following last Tuesday's election results.
Newsom only had one word to say:
"Pathetic."
You can see his post below.
Many agreed.
On Monday night, the funding bill to reopen the government passed the U.S. Senate 60-40, with almost all Republicans joining the eight rogue Democrats.
Next up: the House.
Speaker Mike Johnson has urged the House to return to D.C. and is eyeing a possible Wednesday vote on the bill. He has also pledged to swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva once the House is back in session. Grijalva's swearing in should, in theory, trigger a vote to release the Epstein files once she signs the bipartisan discharge petition.

People Reveal How They Lost Their Jobs To Artificial Intelligence
Nov 11, 2025
The concept of artificial intelligence (AI) dates back thousands of years with ancient myths. Later, inventors would create automatons that moved independently through the use of gears, cogs, and springs.
But for a long time, the idea of an artificial brain was relegated to science fiction.
Alan Turing's "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" is credited with creating the AI field in the 1950s. In the 1970s and 80s, computers became faster, easier to use, and more affordable leading to the first generation, millennials, growing up with computers.
This familiarity lead to faster advancements in the field of AI. In 1997, IBM's Deep Blue defeated Chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov giving the public their first taste of a computer generating independent "thought."
By the 2020s, AI exploded to become part of daily life, much the way home computers, the internet, smartphones, and social media had previously. But at what cost?
Reddit user _thecatspajamas_ asked:
"Hey people who lost their jobs to AI, what happened?"
Tech Support
"I am going through this right now. I am gonna be fully transparent here. To preface, I didn’t lose my job to just AI, but to outsourcing in tandem with AI that our C level execs thought could perform on par with US employees."
"I work for a Microsoft vendor that provides global support for Azure cloud and 365. This covers a lot of support verticals, some are technical and some are not so technical."
"I am a support engineer for Azure identity and access management. We provide break-fix, RCA, and advisory support on anything from from hybrid environment identity management (AD -> Entra ID), cloud only environments, enterprise provisioning, SCIM, SSO, RBAC, application access, onboarding/offboarding, lifecycle management, key vault, directory management and subscription concepts, etc. We have the broadest scope of Azure technical support."
"You, as a SMB or enterprise organization, can pay for Azure support. The support plans vary from broad commercial to Unified (expensive and white glove, think fortune 500 companies). When you make a support request, likely the request goes to a vendor like myself."
"Sometimes you get a guy who can’t speak English and the support is awful or you get to an American team or sometimes they 'escalate' to the better performing teams."
"As a vendor, we have a contract with Microsoft to provide this support. There ARE internal Microsoft support engineers, but a smaller team working for typically the customers Microsoft deems the most important."
"My team is compromised of American engineers. We consistently have had the highest metrics such as days to close complex issues, lowest rate of technical escalations, and the highest satisfaction ratings from our customers."
"Compared to teams from other countries, like Nigeria and India, where they take months to resolve issues we’d resolve in days, and have extremely low satisfaction reports. No shade, but I have seen the work from these places and it is always playing hot potato and 'we are inquiring internally' updates, putting work on other teams, no actual engineering or meaningful work."
"My company definitely already underpays us, but the last two years HARD pushed us to use a Microsoft proprietary Copilot version to 'assist' with our casework. This AI became a mandatory metric where we could get fired for not using it."
"This AI was and is almost always wrong with technical information and always wrong on key details when assessing complex issues. Essentially it was completely useless if you have any semblance of competency in your role."
"So my company gets the go ahead from Microsoft to start us on the highest tier of paid support (Unified) this year after months of the AI push, which we crush as usual. And then they are renegotiating our contract, stringing us along saying we will make more as we are doing more work and working with more demanding and complex organizations."
"Instead, once they get the contract, they lay off every single north American team, to outsource our jobs to an African country that will not be named, to pay these guys 400 USD a MONTH because they are betting they can perform near our level leveraging the AI we trained (it is still useless and actively sabotaging yourself to attempt to rely on it in any form)."
"Oh, and we didn’t even get severance. We are just expected to work as normal and keep 'training' this AI until our last day at the end of the year. It's insanity. My condolences if you pay for Microsoft Azure support (you shouldn’t)."

Government Paperwork
"I wasn’t replaced by AI in a 1:1 capacity, but it did destroy my field in general. It’s a weird case. AI replaced the job, but then the job replaced AI. But because the job’s ecosystem was so fragile, grifters accidentally eliminated maybe 80% of the opportunities in the field."
"I had 10 years of experience doing an extremely niche type of Government paperwork. Without going into detail, this was the sort of paperwork that businesses (especially small businesses) absolutely HAD to do, for a few logistical reasons."
"Extremely tedious, extremely long (250-500 pages about 20 times a year). I mostly worked for Small Businesses, who themselves would work for various Government branches."
"Around late 2023/early 2024, the typical AI grifters started selling their products to businesses in this area. The idea was 'Hey, you have a staff of managers, editors, and writers, our LLM can replace all that!'."
"So the small businesses, which were in truth VERY small (<30 people, usually), ate this up. They were already fly-by-night skeleton operations (by design), and any cost saving measure was welcome. So, the small businesses laid a bunch of us specialists off, myself included."
"Here’s where it gets weird. The type of paperwork we do is extremely complex, very time sensitive, and is often reviewed at a very detailed level. So the AI actually couldn’t replace the people, without a lot more time and money invested in editing and correcting it."
"Problem is, this sort of paperwork was absolutely ESSENTIAL in keep in the business’s doors open. So many of the small businesses, most of whom would live contract-to-contract, suddenly lost the ability to do this paperwork."
"Which meant they lost the ability to get new contracts. Which meant they mostly just went out of business."
"This all happened at roughly the same time as DOGE and an overall downtick in government spending. So my field was (briefly) replaced, but now people want to hire again because the AI couldn’t do the job."
"But 80% of the companies that would be hiring these jobs back….. simply don’t exist anymore, because they went out of business."
~ cslevens
Customer Service
"I worked in customer service, part of my job was to oversee the chat bot that users would speak to before they got through to an actual agent. The AI would consistently get information incorrect (I dealt with licenses, so there's legal implications if someone is provided with incorrect information from us)."
"Since I was laid off, I've seen an uptick of YouTube videos about how the company is a scam and fallen into other dark patterns (pop ups, autorenewals etc) to extort more money from their elderly users, with no real way for them to get assistance with a refund, so the amount of credit card disputes has risen exponentially—and keep in mind the company has to pay for every dispute, whether they win or lose."
"I've already seen they're regretting it and are now outsourcing cheaper labour from abroad and taking advantage of foreign workers, but f*ck, they torpedoed any good will their brand may have gotten."
~ hisosih
Newspaper Editor
"I worked for a newspaper as an editor. I did a lot more than edit, but the powers above me didn't seem to care."
"I was basically a glorified spell checker to them. They automated my job for less than $1,000 a year."
"Now, I bartend and drive school buses to make ends meet."
~ thinkdeep
Training The Replacement
"We went from positioning AI as our ‘assistant for the monotone tasks’ with humans in the driver's seat. One year later, and we’re positioning our AI solutions as core products built on the business’s IP."
"We are all suckers for having trained the goddamn thing to grab our knowledge and experience and run with it. The CEO who climbed his way to the top is also replaced by some dude with zero background in our field but experienced in AI tech and restructuring."
"We are screwed."
~ dna_noodle
3D Modeling
"Was making 3D models for 20 years, but since AI became a thing, most people just skip the 3D stage altogether and just generate the final image or video instead."
"AI is still trash at 3D modeling, but it's great at generating the final product, making the models themselves unnecessary."
"Working retail now."
~ rmpumper
Literary Editor
"I was a literary editor for one of the largest sci-fi presses in the world. My boss, the executive editor, retired, and the company reassessed its practices."
"So after spending fifteen years working for the greater good of sci-fi, I got outsourced to a robot."
"To be fair, I guess I probably should have seen that coming, given the genre. Just never thought it'd surpass human reading/analysis THAT fast."
~ Apocalypse_Wow
Call Center Transcriber
"Not me, but one of my close friends worked at a call center that was specifically for the hard-of-hearing/disabled. The people who have the phones that have screens that write out/speak the text."
"Her job was to basically subtitle each call that came in. She would type out the conversation as it was happening for the disabled person. As you can imagine, they were all laid off and replaced by AI."
"I’ve heard it’s already caused legal issues and people suing for the AI telling them incorrect info (like from doctors or medical related conversations)."
~ ScarletSpell
"I worked for that company, I was there for nearly a decade. It was interesting to watch the downfall."
"When I first started, they were expanding throughout the country, every week there were classes of 40 new hires going through training, consistently, year-round at every location. They always said accuracy was more important than speed, and it’s up to the client to tell the other person to slow down if captions can’t keep up."
"At some point, they started putting more emphasis on speed of captions, then began saying speed is equally as important as quality. Eventually, they introduced a few computers (like 3) that would do auto captions, and someone had to sit there following along, correcting errors."
"The number of auto captioning computers kept growing, I left the job, 6 months later they got rid of 95% of the staff."
"The job was actually quite challenging at times in the early years, it used voice recognition software, so the people captioning were actually repeating every word they heard in a clear voice so the software could caption it."
"It worked great when people spoke normally and with relatively proper grammar, but in reality, half the country has thick accents, uses slang, etc Those words all needed to be typed manually."
"It kind of worked like predictive texting, where if it didn’t know what you said, it would take a guess at something similar-sounding and make sense with the context of the last word or two captioned."
"Another issue is that a lot of people speak like a certain orange guy, aggressively spitting nonsense rapidly without taking a breath, interrupting themselves mid-sentence to go off on a tangent, which kills the accuracy of predictive text because it’s trying to make a normal sentence that makes sense."
"Whenever I hear him speak, I think of how awful it would be to caption."
~ sloppyjoesandwich
Customer Support
"This just happened yesterday, so new wounds. They had us train a chatbot, so we made the resources to feed it."
"The chatbot was supposed to help us with the support ticket load. Chatbot now gets to carry the whole load."
"Entire support team got laid off."
~ fartinaround
Data Scientist
"I used to be a data scientist (with 13 years of experience). My boss wanted me to solve a problem that involved clustering sensor data by location."
"Because errors in latitude and longitude tend to be random, we'll have elliptical clouds of points, so I said we should use k-means. My boss picked up his laptop, turned it around, and said: 'But Copilot says that we should use DBSCAN'."
"I researched DBSCAN and found that it would be very slow and do the wrong thing in a worse way. My boss did not agree. I was laid off a few weeks later, along with the rest of the data team. My boss was laid off two months after that."
"Now the company has an open position for an 'AI Scientist' in India."
~ Utkonos91
Graphic Designer
"Graphic designer here. I haven't been fully replaced yet, but the landscape has completely changed. Clients now expect me to use AI as a 'co-pilot'—generating initial concepts, mood boards, and even rough copy in minutes, not hours."
"The job is becoming less about executing the first idea and more about curating, refining, and adding the crucial human touch (and catching AI's weird mistakes)."
"It feels less like I lost my job and more like my job description was rewritten overnight. The pressure to constantly adapt is the real challenge."
~ silver86racher
Voice Actor
"Voice actor here. While I still get the bigger commercials and jobs, I’ve lost a lot of the smaller jobs."
"For example, storyboarding. Ad agencies will create a digital storyboard detailing what the ad will look like, they hire a voice artist to do a preliminary voice over (you’d earn like 150-200 for the hour), it’s all AI now."
"I’ve worked on campaigns where all of the voice artists refused to sign their contract because there’s a new clause in it—if they sign it, they’re signing the rights of their voice over to AI, so this client can use their voice without them ever having to record anything else again."
"They all refused; the client just recast all of them."
~ angry2320
"My uncle does voice acting. A lot of his work came from audiobooks, but that's drying up lately and being replaced by AI voice."
~ mathazar
Epidemiologist
"I'm an epidemiologist working for a local health department in a team building disease surveillance capacity. Basically, my team makes data cleaning and visualizations automated so we can spend time interpreting the output and detect outbreaks and patterns earlier."
"We all have masters or PhDs in epidemiology/biostatistics. We are being pushed out in the middle of respiratory season at the end of the year so the IT team can make oversimplified graphs that are not useful and use AI for the rest."
"It's absolutely horrifying that our community's health is in the hands of untrained IT and AI."
