Yeah, so when one side is like, "Maybe unfettered access to guns is bad and school shootings need to be stopped and trans people deserve to exist" and the other side is like "Fuck you" this isn't a "both sides are valid" type of world anymore.

It was literally potato chips that inspired this post; like 12 potato chips.

Just seems like a good idea to do it just to be on the safe side. Eat all the dairy and all the fried.

Attention young people: please, while you are still young, do yourselves a favor and eat all of the dairy and fried food that your body can handle.

Because north of 40 you will literally be in physical pain when you try and eat these things.

Also register to vote. That's important, too.

Yes. I also felt this way about the assassinations in Minnesota. In fact, I continue to feel this way about the assassinations in Minnesota.

Many thanks @everywhereist.bsky.social. I read your cinnamon roll essay with my college freshman today. They were engaged, thoughtful, and a bit surprised by the words coming out of my mouth as I read it aloud.

Holy cats, I'm so honored. Was it the word "porno" that set them off? 😅

7 years later and I still whisper, “We’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like it’s the latest hipster indie band.

Daniel Lawson @DanielLaw1998: Disabled parking should only be valid during business hours 9 to 5, Monday to Friday.

I cannot see any reason why people with genuine disabilities would be out beyond these times.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

I keep seeing people say things like, “Well we’re not going to HAVE elections,” and with all due respect, I think this is both wildly pessimistic and also wildly naive.

We are not going to have free and fair elections. We also have not had them in the past.

I just need one reporter to bait him by saying he's not famous enough to be in the Epstein files and I swear he'll confess.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
