It's shocking how hard it was for me to come home from Asia the other day. Not because of flights or anything, but because I literally didn't want to come back to America. 😭

a new thing from @petershankman.bsky.social - as a journalist, I have long found his HARO - Help a Reporter Out - useful for sources - this is another effort of his in that direction - SOS - source of sources muckrack.com/blog/2024/12...

Considering how "there's no client list," I figure it's a good time to yet again drop this summer's ultimate dance anthem.

Remember when presidents had to ask Congress before they were allowed to do stuff? Good times.

Oh cool! Yet another platform where I can personally tell @jd-vance-1.bsky.social to fuck all the way off!

Lol.

Aww yeah!!

Trump, Musk and Kennedy oppose the rights of autistic people. I write this as an autistic journalist who covered the story for @salonnewsroom.bsky.social. www.salon.com/2025/03/02/w... @realdomaldtrump.bsky.social @petershankman.bsky.social

Is Yam Tits dead yet?

I remember the exact night Zuck and I were doing tons of drugs at a sex club and he came up with the idea that fact checking shouldn't be a part of Meta's plans. No fact checking of this post necessary, I said it so it must be true.

I swear Congestion Pricing feels like the first win intelligent people have had in close to eight years. Hallelujah.

Actually, it's even better than haro. 🙂

Therapist: "Why aren't you being honest with me?" Me: "Because I don't want to to go on an involuntary 72 hour hold." #grippysockvacation

Saddened to report that at my surgery clearance appointment today (having a vasectomy next week,) my doc said I was fine for surgery, but despite my repeated requests, was unable to write me an emergency prescription for citizenship for me and my daughter in Thailand before 1/20/25.

Jeff Bezos is a coward.

The hellscape of filth and depravity that is NYC still continues unabated. Definitely don't visit here. It's just not safe.

I didn't realize how early to the game I was here.

So... We still hanging out here?

My first heart attack of the day: my 943 day "exceeded my move goal on my Apple Watch" streak was gone this morning. Restarted my iphone and watch and it came back. Whew. To quote Eddie Murphy: "THAT SH$T AIN'T FUNNY, MOTHERFU€KER!

Honestly the best part of this is that over half of those who saw his tweets thought not that he got hacked, but that he was on day three of a coke bender. LOL. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Pro tip: When you're accused of something vile, and the first three people to come to your defense are Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, and Andrew Tate, there's a 100% chance you did the vile thing.

My last connection to Twitter has now been severed. Have fun, musk. Enjoy what limited time you have left as ruler of a poisoned realm. https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/03/tweetdeck-suffers-as-musk-enforces-read-limits-on-twitter/

God, how I'm enjoying this. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/thousands-users-report-problems-accessing-twitter-met-rate-limit-excee-rcna92188

Phil Collins was Generation X's Taylor Swift. Discuss.

Sixteen years ago tonight, HBO aired the final episode of the Sopr...

Ted Cruz whining about mild mannered Merrick Garland’s justice department. Well Ted maybe you should not have blocked his Supreme Court nomination to steal that seat you teeny tiny little bitch.

14 muscles are activated when you pour a cup of coffee. Fitness is my passion.

Oh good, we're back to the "my iphone doesn't recognize my damn face because I'm wearing a mask" phase of life.

All you talking about having your "hot girl summer..." Happy now??

The air is terrible outside but I got it covered. I'm going to start smoking again so I have the filter of the cigarettes to protect me.

35 minutes of trying to learn a new TikTok dance with my ten year old kid and I'm sweating like I just did a Peloton ride. The shit us dads do for their daughters... 😂

Oh good. Was just saying how I had an extra $3,400 I needed to burn out of my pocket. https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/5/23738968/apple-vision-pro-ar-headset-features-specs-price-release-date-wwdc-2023

I miss Vioxx.

My daughter dragged me to a Mr. Beast Burger for lunch and I now feel like a little less like a good person.

Kinda hard to save the planet when the guys who want to kill it have paid off the supreme court.

BBC, CNN, NYT, WSJ, BBERG, CNBC: "Ron Desantis is about to sit down with Elon Musk in a live twitter chat. Follow along here!" Me: "lol, no."

RIP, Tina Turner. 😭

You have $3 to build your life: $50 - nice car $100 - decent house $200 - high-paying job $250 - quality education $300 - romantic partner $400 - supportive friends $2 - alcohol $1 - memes

Less pickleball. More 2016 era PokemonGo.

I never had more anxiety than when I was a class parent and had to hold up traffic so my daughter's 1st grade class could cross the street.

Haven't been on Twitter in over a week and deleted the app from my phone. Went on via desktop today and saw four DM requests. Three were spam with OnlyFan links. One was a spam account, inviting me to "be their friend." Gotta tell you, not missing Twitter at all.

About to go on TV News for all eight people watching the TV News at 7:04am in NYC....

Skeeting from an intro day to sleep away camp for first timers, with my daughter who clearly doesn't want to be here. Sigh. 🙄

The world needs a new Gangnam Style and PokemonGo. I feel like nothing's been as good since 2016 ended.

Can't remember the name of the person I just met twenty minutes ago but my ICQ number was 4512996.

If I send you ten memes and you only acknowledge one of them we're no longer friends. The rule is simple: Ten memes = ten separate replies.

Someone came over to me today after my keynote and hugged me and said "that's from me and my son, he read The Boy With the Faster Brain and told me it's the first book he's ever read about ADHD that makes him feel like he isn't broken" and we both stood in the ballroom and cried and it was awesome.

Reasons to hit the gym that aren't patriarchal beauty standards: - outrun the cops - outlive ur enemies - more stamina for sex - actually sleep at night - get strong to fight racists - listen to music without people interrupting

Waffle wishes all of you a very pleasant evening.
