You’re a rarity among performers: gifted comic, ardent observer, egalitarian, honest, kind. We share East coast growing-up experiences. Janie is an absolute gem. I’m recovering, I’m in improv & standup now, loving my life, you & your friends have helped. Deepest thanks. 🙏

My brother contracted polio in 1954. His legs never fully developed. There was no vaccine. He gets all his shots now.

I thought they were being blocked because thousands of them were suspiciously created within a day and all were following the same right wing accounts? It was an algorithm, not their ideology per se.

This campaign seems to focus on that. I’m not about sell all my belongings and follow them, but I do check in from time to time to see what they’re saying and how they are saying it.

When we relate to each other, we are free of the need of any other “higher power” to use as a source of strength and direction. Division is what holds us captive and is the perfect tool for religious and political ideologies to keep us under control.

I don’t see this represented in any religious organizations today. But this campaign seems to come closest to getting to the only reason I could align with the teachings of Jesus as I imagine them: we need to empathize and see ourselves in each other.

The only single threads of consistency I gather is that he protested oppression, gathered likeminded followers, and then was murdered by powerful people who didn’t like his influence.

I’m not against the “he gets us” campaign, though I’m naturally cautious.

The New Testament is a collection of second-hand stories, alleged observations, about his life, which seem overdramatized and lack credible authentication.

Scientists confirm the universe is expanding to avoid eye contact.

i'm feeling toasty which means if it wasn't warm in here i'd be feeling bready

A lot of TV shows now have a warning about "adult situations" . . .
but then you watch and no one is going to work, paying bills or cleaning up dog poop.

That sounds awful. Sorry.

Tikka masala used to just exist. Then one day, someone declared it a tool to “push multiculturalism” on innocent bystanders.

I finally get the meaning of pretzel logic.

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts

Now the Bill of Rights just reads “If you can read this the bitch fell off.”

In 2025, we are losing our measles-free status, just 25 years after we eliminated measles from the US because of vaccines.

It’s not because our sanitation systems have been eliminated.

It’s because people aren’t getting vaccinated.

An Ed Martin Tweet RTing Trump's announcement of the George Santos pardon. His tweet says: I was honored as U.S. Pardon Attorney to have played a small role in @POTUS granting @MrSantosNY clemency. Thank you, Mr. President for making clemency great again.

The guy most responsible for charging Tish James for being generous to her Great Niece is in the very same week bragging abt his role in freeing a guy who REALLY DID engage in financial fraud.

And I'm thinking, Abbe Lowell is no slouch and I bet he can explain why this proves selective prosecution.

America is back________.

Hear me out: How horrible of an idea would it be if an organized group of unemployed anti-Trump folks secretly joined ICE?

My standup comedy pals!

My standup comedy pals! What an awesome group of people. Love you all.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD ***************** Investigation of: LOSS OF THE SUBMARINE TITAN IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN ON JUNE 18, 2023 * * * * * * Accident No.: *********** * * * * * * Interview of: Co-designer/Pilot Deepsea Challenger DCA23FM036 via Microsoft Teams Friday, July 26, 2024

INTERVIEW OF 10 BY LCDR 11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible 12 operations? 13 A. Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic. When I 14 set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did 15 was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible 16 program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named 17| Professor I. I did that through a mutual friend 18 of ours, a guy named , who is one of the preeminent underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a 20 submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the 21 Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was 22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."
