Cabin lights went off on the plane and not a single reading light popped on. If I were a NY Times op-ed writer I bet I could get at least two columns out of this.

Stranger Things? I don't know, man, if you ask me, things are already strange enough.

Still wild to me that they named an entire professional football team after a POEM

I wish I could go back to when Trump pardoned Rudy Giuliani, so I could post “Looks like the president pardoned the turkey early this year!” Why didn’t I think of that back then. Man. Missed opportunity.

If I were an absurdly rich guy I like to think I'd be pretty chill and unobtrusive, societally-speaking, but I might make the Macy's people render me as a Thanksgiving Day parade inflatable

For what she's after (escaping a tough life, stability in the suburbs, happiness, etc.) I think what she really needs is a reliable car, more so than a "fast" one. Just my two cents.

In case anyone was worried that my life had gotten too dull, today I wrote “eat an apple” on my to-do list

Every couple years I try on a jean jacket just to make sure I’m still not cool enough to wear a jean jacket

Not exactly the same, but I would use my powers to clear the music rights and get the TV show Ed on streaming
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Sometimes I still get mad when I think about the disappointing build quality of the Sports Illustrated football phone

Not usually a conspiracy person, but there was such an insane variety of grating noises in the airport terminal yesterday that I started to side-eye the nearby Bose store, like, "Oh, interesting, this all must be wonderful for sales, huh"

Is Arrival kind of a stupid movie or do I just really not like science fiction

I think more things should be periodically added to and updated, Leaves of Grass style. What other ironies has Alanis Morisette discovered since 1995? What new coincidences could we tack onto the opening of Magnolia? Art should be a living document.

When Dylan Thomas said “do not go gentle into that good night” he was trying to warn us about athleisure

Personally, I like to spend my Saturday morning doing a little yoga, maybe going to a farmer's market, having a pastry, reading a book. But hey, this is cool, too. No judgment. Whatever you're into.

Yeah, man. I'm not on X. That's why I'm here. Who are you trying to convince at this point.

My new policy is that if a stranger calls me buddy I’m calling them champ. If a stranger calls me champ I’m calling them tiger.
