Next First Draft Feeling premieres Wednesday on YouTube Dec 10th @ 8pm ET. Come join me and two of my favs @carmenlagala.bsky.social & @jimtews.com work on new jokes about weight loss, medical procedures, roommates, being 40 & car vandalism YouTube.com/lizmiele to watch

Once you see it.

They call it "Wonder" cause it moves into your neighborhood and you wonder where all your favorite local spots went.

If Zohran becomes mayor of NYC I will move. To the kitchen. Where I keep the celebratory champagne.

I like how we've started treating NYC mayoral candidates like romantic interests on Seinfeld. ELAINE: He ate a burrito with a knife and fork! JERRY: So? ELAINE: On the subway, Jerry! JERRY: Oh no.

Dr. Teeth, Janice, and Animal live from the Tompkins Square Dog Parade

The look this fall in Bushwick: “I hiked through the woods to see Turnstile.”

Generations of Americans romanticize cars because they associate it with the first time they had sex. If it were easier to have sex in a bike or on a bus, we’d have better urban infrastructure.

Froze my credit this morning. Can't wait to thaw it in twenty years and teach it all about the strange new world its living in.

I need the YouTube algorithm to understand that an interest in skateboarding does not equal, or lead to, an interest in in-line skating. If the algorithm was alive in the 90's it would know that.

This administration's "look what you made me do" approach to leadership is weak, dawg. Imagine taking your daddy issues out on entire population.

💯💯💯💯💯💯

Financial gurus: I have about 73 cents left over at the end of every month and I'd like to invest. I'm 44 and would like to retire by 125. I'm willing to take some risks, but prefer long, steady growth. Thoughts?

Comedian destroys heckler

I've been doing some editing work for Sesame Street this month so between catching news bytes about the fabric of our country disintegrating, I get to watch Sesame Street.

People will say its hard to survive a career in the arts because of unpredictability, but it's actually pretty consistent. I've made the same amount of money every year for the past decade.

We're going to get Nazi Germany without the whole Weimar era arts and culture stuff. No experimental theatre and crazy films. No design movements. Just a homogenous Netflix series and fever dream TikToks of Will Smith eating spaghetti and then authoritarianism.

I hold my own general strike for about twenty minutes every morning before the coffee kicks in.

Modern medicine is a load of hooey. I prefer tried and true remedies handed down from the village healer, right before they died of a mystery illness at 38.

A career in the arts is a marathon, not a sprint. And a lot of people shit themselves during marathons so don't feel weird about doing that.

celebrities out walking the characters they’ve played instead of their dogs: thread

Why do I keep obsessing over which new action camera to buy when I mostly just climb stairs and roll around the skatepark once a week, barely leaving the ground? Where is this action I supposedly need captured by a specific camera?

People wanting to pin a binary political affiliation to premeditated shooters, (who are usually young white dudes) are completely oblivious to the extremely online, antisocial, political nihilist types they more likely are --

Hey, if you don't like it, vote with your dollar. And the more dollars you have, the more votes you get oh damn I see the problem now.

Just going through the Bible again as I do every Sunday and I FINALLY found the part where Jesus goes to college campuses and argues with the woke lepers. I guess I was wrong about CK.

Whenever I schedule a meeting I try to schedule it for 2p on a Tuesday because then when someone’s like “When am I meeting with Jim Tews? Oh right, 2 on Tuesday… wow. Thoughtful guy.”

The crybabies are in charge.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Jokes on you, oppressive administration. Soon we'll be able to say whatever we want because you can't fire us from jobs we don't have.

Airplanes on the tarmac always have a playlist of songs you’ve never heard before and never will again.

Sorry haven’t been posting here much, I’ve been busy keeping a food journal.

Disrupting the newsletter industry by publishing every seven weeks on a Thursday.

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Got a promoted post on LinkedIn encouraging me to join ICE. I know I fit the profile, but just because I’m a forty-something, unemployed, white male veteran, doesn’t mean I’m a white supremacist crybaby with a violence boner.

Forgot to put deodorant on my left pit this morning. Please approach from my starboard side.

Recession Indicator: my eye twitch is back.

So this is just life, huh? Watching pants go from baggy to skinny and back again every ten years until they put you in the dirt.

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

Woke Cracker Barrel took my pappy off the logo? Guess I'll see you every Sunday after church at the Ponderosa.

“Radioactive Shrimp” was the follow up single to The Beets “Killer Tofu”

Watched this whole f’in Billy Joel doc and still don’t know what a “real estate novelist” is.

It’s so hard to ruin a dumb person’s good time.

My wife is Gen X and I’m a millennial so she’s all like “We can’t sell out!” and I’m all “but how else are we gonna afford avocado toast?”

Corporations fear nothing, people act selfish, and politicians do whatever they want because Andy Rooney is no longer here to hold anyone accountable.

I think their trouble started long ago, when my mom wouldn't let me get my ear pierced in '95

Reviewing my spending habits and the haters were right: If I'd just skipped my weekly cold brew and breakfast sammy the entire year, I would've had enough to invest in a HYSA which would've netted me enough (principle + interest) to pay half of one month's rent in 2025. 🤷‍♂️

CNBC "Make It" episode, but it's about how my wife and I were finally able to buy ourselves poke bowls after a four hour stoop sale.

Trader Joe's was out of the candied orange slices we like. Thought it might be tariffs, but turns out Joe picked up a shipment of Frozen Kimbap in Korea, then headed to Thailand for some Peanut Satay Thai Noodles. They hit some weather in the South China Sea and no one's heard from the crew since.

Just upgraded to the iPhone 16 Pro. Still feeling empty inside.
