“What’s my age again” by blink-182 came on at the gym the other night, and that is a contender. “Complicated” by Avril is another one. Some more palatable options (to me) would be “New Slang” by the shins or “vindicated” by dashboard.

He really just said that out loud.

Someone liked this article so much they chicken-scratched a thank you, ripped out the notebook paper and put it in an envelope with 6 stamps to send it to me internationally. They signed it but I could not for the life of me tell you what it says. So, you’re welcome, anonymous stranger.

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

i feel like i owe dr pulaski an apology like yes data is a person but her vibe was correct re: AI. also the transporter is absolutely a murder machine do not get in that shit

Lupita Nyong’o is completely fine casting for Helen. No notes. But Odysseus is not from Boston. I will die on this hill.

Y'know, I was going to have a calm, relaxing evening devoid of furiously writing a comedy video while continuously muttering "Holy shit holy shit holy shit" under my breath, but apparently the universe had other plans. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/m...

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

I will pay extra to find transfers through Calgary. Open, available lounge seating, play areas for kids, and a good assortment of food options. I have been forced to sleep in many airports; this one is the best.
