Running for Congress on a platform of sneaking into Polymarket HQ and unplugging all their stuff. Overflow crowds at a local Knights of Columbus hall roar with delight as I promise to pour Florida's Natural Grapefruit Juice (with pulp) into the USB-C port of every computer in the damn place.

there was a point in 2020 where i was really hoping they would keep to the oscar rules that movies had to be theatrically released and they would just pick from whatever crap studios had released by mid march. BAD BOYS FOR LIFE and SONIC THE HEDGEHOG going head to head in all major categories

see, three years ago, "stealing a child's dog" would be the most cartoonishly evil thing you could imagine a cabinet-level official doing to a dog. but now it seems mostly fine. she loves dogs! maybe a little too much, haha! bsky.app/profile/jsth...

[the attorney general, who has launched a number of transparently political prosecutions at the behest of a corrupt, authoritarian president, is testifying before congress and ranting about the dow for some reason] whew, at least one of these people looks normal

putting best actor last on the understanding that it would posthumously go to chadwick boseman and then giving it to anthony hopkins, who was thousands of miles away and asleep, is the funniest thing they've ever done

I love being a guard for a crime boss, but I hate when coworkers hear a noise and go walk away and don’t come back. We were in the middle of a conversation, rude! Not my job to find him though.

Perhaps diaspora communities should be given grace and also not granted the presumption of special knowledge or influence around shit happening in the old country, as a general matter.

To take this seriously a sec: when your political-economic system allows massive inequality to explode, it creates a class of people who have no material problems but do have the resources & power to make their trivial irritations the central business of politicsβ€”at immense material cost to others.

I hate Tik Tok speak.

I have agents, editors and proofreaders! I do digital contracts! I make ebooks!

Sometimes I legitimately have to talk about PDF files!
