was riffing on a show last night & said that something looked like tripe. for some reason, an audience member immediately (instinctively?) just repeated "tripe!" in response, which led to the following:

me: WHEN I SAY "TRIPE," YOU SAY "TRIPE!" TRIPE!

audience: TRIPE!

me: TRIPE!

audience: TRIPE!

my dad’s a big tech nerd, has been experimenting with AI, & has been really impressed by what it can do

when he excitedly showed my mom so she could try, the first thing she asked it was, β€œhow do i kill you?” it refused to tell her. then she asked it for insider trading tips (which it also refused)

and people who say stuff like, "they're more afraid of you than you are of them!" you are WRONG

i don't like it when people say, "nooo, don't kill spiders you find indoors, they eat smaller bugs!" or, "the centipedes eat the spiders, so don't kill those either!"

nah. when i see a bug in my home, i'mma kill it. this is my apartment. i'm trying to chill in here, not sustain an ecosystem

most of the journalists/activists i used to follow on twitter came to bluesky, but a lot of the comedians/writers didn't, so my feed is all off. non-stop horrifying & heartbreaking news, not enough stupid & irreverent shitposting

in a car-shaped toilet, do you sit in the driver's seat to pee or do you pee into the gas tank?

i'm waiting at a dealership because apparently it takes 2 hours to duplicate a car key. at some point i'm going to have to use the restroom. i hope the toilet's shaped like a car 🀞

i'm what they call an "old soul"

no, it's not because i'm wise beyond my years. it's because as a dog in a human body (cursed by a witch) my soul still ages in dog years and i'm actually 259-years-old

recruiter: you're certainly qualified for this position, and you seem like you'd be a great fit on our team! do you have questions for me about the job?

me: just one. what about recess?

recruiter: excuse me? i don't understand

me: i apologize, i should've been more clear. i meant WHEN is recess?

my parents are vietnamese, but i was born & raised in the U.S. and grew up in the suburbs of MN. and while i've conformed to and adopted countless white, midwestern cultural norms and practices, one thing i will NEVER understand and will NEVER EVER do... is refer to a child as a lil stinker or turd

in college, i worked with a rich kid who talked non-stop about his affluent lifestyle. whenever he'd mention vacationing at luxury resorts in jackson hole (which he did often), i'd just say "jackson's hole?" and he'd get upset every time
