just saw a billionaire pack all his things in a bindle and start leaving new york city on foot. he turned and looked at me with tears in his eyes and said “maybe one day when this city is safe we’ll return” before walking away

"Ooh, January 1. Better get going on those taxes, Neddy."

This would absolutely do it for some of you

And now to put on my noise-cancelling headphones and watch Only Connect or something, till this city stops blowing up and burning down... 🫠

Third year doing this now, so I guess this is now just my New Year's tradition
