Happily! It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Please enjoy this moment in Chicago.

I have to go do research and writing and stuff and while I’m doing that, I wish to invite you to send me photos of your autumn and Halloween decorations for my personal edification via posts on this platform. Thank you for your work.

Thank you, sir! I really appreciate that. I know I will still get nerves, but I think it’ll be a warm crowd and I know it’s not about me, it’s about celebrating the couple.

Oh that’s fabulous! Thank you so much.

Turning 45 soon. For my birthday, I want to help raise money for some kids whose parents were kidnapped by ICE here in the Chicagoland area. If the video isn’t of interest, I hope the GoFundMe is: www.gofundme.com/f/show-solid...

Thank you so much! Yes, I already wrote my remarks and they are approved by the bride. I also sent them a Google doc, which was very helpful for me to interview them long distance.

This is so kind, thank you!

It's true.

Spoken Maltese sounds like Arabic and Italian in a dance-off and Arabic is winning, I love it and understand 10% of it.

What is the proper way to say “welcome, everyone!” in Maltese? I get 55 answers online and the relatives who know are far away and/or busy!

I feel these details will be helpful for the general population, which is why I am sharing them here: 1.) No religion 2.) Outdoors under a tent 3.) I think about 100 people present 4.) Afternoon to early evening 5.) I have not gotten a spray tan (controversial!)

If I can’t talk about our sacred Italian American father at this wedding I’m officiating, why are we even having a wedding?

YES

I am officiating a wedding for the very first time, and while I did many years in the stand-up trenches, I remain nervous. The opening remarks have been vetted and approved by the bride. Pls advise on all other aspects of this, my debut as a priest rabbi spiritual leader via the Internet, thank you.

WAIT WHAT? Lincoln’s beau ideal of a statesman? Oh my gosh, this is very exciting. I fear you’ve made this history geek very happy today.

Holy shit.

Thank yoooou!

This is horny as hell, and I will be devoting a chapter to it in my book, which is now going to be erotica.

Polly the Demon Queen is my overlord and Charlie Chicago Catman (“CAT-min”) is my benevolent chaos therapist. She only punches him when he punches her first, which is frequent. He thinks they’re playing. She knows they’re not. In sleep they achieve détente.

Today he tried to climb in the toilet immediately after it was used. He also once tried to jump through a urine stream. These things have been reported to me and I felt I must convey them to you, his audience.

geez good thing we’re only using it for health insurance claims, legal arguments, mortgage rates, teaching students, predicting crime, mental health care, automating government services, fact checking, and pointing out other AI

Oh, I know. I’ve published four books in the past. I just think it would expand my knowledge and that it could expand my ability to do in-depth research. I also greatly enjoy teaching. Though those jobs are few and far between these days. But it’s certainly not necessary.

Excellent. I also got a cinnamon roll and ate half of it to save for later.

They’re real good, but they’re different because they’re sourdough. I like them a lot.

INFLUENCED!
