Dead messengers stacked like cordwood in the Oval Office.

There’s a bonded pair of coyotes that live in Central Park and cause they like to hang out at the Delacorte Theater when it’s not in use they’re called Romeo and Juliet

When I was kid, I really disliked tartar sauce. But now I kind of like it. Just goes to show you that at some point they improved tartar sauce.

I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds

[Exasperated sweeping gesture] but at least the nectar bar is open.

Sometimes the historical dictionary offers solace through the existence of an obsolete word that is sorely needed now. One of them is ‘respair’, recorded just once, in the 15th century. It means fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.

If I forget a password I figure it's time to move on.

“I don’t know any rich people, or twins, for that matter.”

Don't mind me. I'm just trying to figure out how "Babe" only has a 68% user score on RottenTomatoes.

I should hate to hurt your feelings because in a strange way I feel that we are very much alike.

I like when I go to a restaurant or doctor and they have prominent "best of" awards hanging on the wall that ominously end about seven years ago.

I keep secrets by forgetting what you told me almost immediately

This is great - thanks so much Fernando!😊✌️✨✨

If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West." Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about. In fact I know you do." Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

Buffy is so old there were only 103 named elements, we’re at 118 now.

Just wrote for two hours in an Applebee’s in Kalispell, Montana, when I was supposed to be elsewhere. But, you don’t always get to choose when a chapter’s finally speaking to you. You also don’t always have someone keeping your iced tea brimming.

I did the Granta Memoir course and am such a fan of my cohort - so many great writers.

Accidentally I said I taped a television show last night & now everyone knows I’m from the 1900’s

Em Dash, you were the dramatic one. The centerpiece. The gasp between clauses. I just… clarified things. Bridged distances. Showed up on time, wore neutrals, and kept relationships tidy.

Now look at us.
