Itโ€™s crazy how so many comic book artists are just as ridiculously Maga as Maga as the UFC

I wrote over 1300 words today. Iโ€™m rather proud of myself. Iโ€™d like to send a shout out to coffee and Biscoff cake.

Shawn Taylor This channel is for men, but mostly dads, to find brotherhood, to laugh with each other, and to navigate the craziness of what it means to be a man, and a father, in the 21st-century.

I am going to miss Alice Wong. She was the homie on so many different levels. There is an Alice size hole in my life that will probably never be filled. Rest easy, my friend.

What a night last night. Iโ€™m a New Yorker, living in California and could not be prouder of both my homes.

Voted today. The Trump โ€œNo On 50โ€ contingent was out in full force this morning. I walked out of the polling place and yelled, โ€œYes on 50, bitches!!!โ€ The looks I got. But they didnโ€™t say anything, until I was well on my way back to my car.

If you ever talk to an elder West Indian person and you ask them how they are and they say, โ€œMi too vexedโ€ just know that the next hour to 90 minutes of your time is theirs. Just go along for the ride.

I cannot believe that the Guardians Of Pedophiles party are really trying to discredit Mamdani because he called an elder woman and auntie. What the hell else do you call your fatherโ€™s female cousin who is older than you? The auntie is a global phenomenon, maybe just not with European people.

This Friday, I will be competing in The Moth Grand Slam, in San Francisco. I did my first and only one, thus far, on a dare. And I wound up winning. I have zero expectations for Friday, Iโ€™m just glad that I am moving through my fear threshold to do something new

If you canโ€™t be happy for your friends, success, I have no idea whatโ€™s wrong with you.

Jeffries is probably the single most feckless politician weโ€™ve ever had. He has Van Jones energy, and thatโ€™s not good.

I cannot believe that I have to talk to teachers and parents to not use anything Prager U offers. This country is so screwed.

That you compared generative AI to punk rock lets me know that you have absolutely no idea what punk rock is. Itโ€™s sad.

The world is a crazy place right now. Iโ€™m just sending out a wish that everyone can find as much peace as they can.

The world is crazy right now. Please check in on your folks, your people who may not always voice that they need support. Trust me.

If you're in the Bay Area, come
out to the launch of my book. Yes, I know it's Father's Day, but what better way to spend it than at the launch of a book about fatherhood? And let's get real, most Father's Day festivities are done by 2 o'clock, anyway. Hope to see you there. #Fatherhood #BayDad

If you wouldn't be mean to someone who is learning something new, don't be mean to yourself when you're learning something new.
