My eye doctor told me I had all of the right answers on the “1 or 2, 3 or 4” machine. My life’s great work.

These new sneezes are not from my face, so I’ll call them Face Are Nots, or fa’r’ts for short.

I thought I had done all of the sneezes: loud, quiet, wet, and dry… but the other day I found a new one! I sneezed *out of my butt*… it did not smell pleasant.

Eating falafel in the location of the bar I used to frequent when I was 10. Times have changed.

I went there once in the spring, less impressive without all the snow.

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

If you’re worried about the young people today and their mental health crisis, it’s comforting to spend 5 minutes on Nextdoor. The old people are SO much crazier!

"Trans people existing does literally nothing negative to your lives you crybaby wimps.
Your life is getting harder and costlier because of the oligarchs, not trans people"

The entire private pharmaceutical industry should be nationalized by the next Democratic President, and its executives thrown into a volcano.

The wildest thing about this era is watching so many institutions say out loud yeah, we’re done committing ourselves to excellence, we’re going to specialize in the coddling of mediocre white men

Honestly can't think of a more straightforward example of how men profit from the sexual degradation of women

two men are standing next to each other holding guns in a field . ALT: two men are standing next to each other holding guns in a field .

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci!
ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

Screen shot of text from the Kurt Vonnegut novel Hocus Pocus: “He predicted, I remember, that human slavery would come back, that it had in fact never gone away. He said that so many people wanted to come here because it was so easy to rob the poor people, who got absolutely no protection from the Government. He talked about bridges falling down and water mains breaking because of no maintenance. He talked about oil spills and radioactive waste and poisoned aquifers and looted banks and liquidated corporations. "And nobody ever gets punished for anything," he said. "Being an American means never having to say you're sorry."”

More of Kurt echoing forward

Where to go? What to do?”

The art inside the homes of Ghislaine Maxwell (LEFT) and Jeffrey Epstein (RIGHT) was every bit as sinister as would be imagined. (Although Maxwell has a keen eye. That is a rather good likeness of Stephen Miller.)

unironically, this is the song of the summer. it's been in my head for three days straight.

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?
