A guest at my cousin’s wedding reception did the Pee-wee Herman tequila dance. He said it was this thing and he always did it at weddings. And it was spectacularly funny.

We need more of that. Just doing stupid stuff to see if we can make each other laugh.

It was snowing. Now the snowflakes are just blowing around, like they made a wrong turn somewhere. They’re like, wait, is this New York?

We’re in the same industry! I’m the one who makes the victim’s watch stop at the exact time they’re killed.

"I need a ballroom and Greenland!" bleats trump, who thinks you should be happy with two dolls and a dinner of a tortilla and a piece of broccoli.

I had a friend who cut me off twice. First time I worked to make it right. Second time, was okay… this person is just mean so who cares.

Asheville turned out tonight to protest ICE and remember Renee Nicole Good.

Y’all. I still have not recovered my day of the week sensibilities since the holidays. For any of you in the same boat, today is not Monday.

Trust in our government is low — and understandably so. Congress must act to fight corruption within itself.

I tried, full of anxiety, to tell my sister that some people actually did like me. She responded that they didn’t really know me. If they did, they wouldn’t like me. It was important to her to completely defeat me.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:
