Wanna avoid responsibilities while appearing responsible?

Wanna escape your mess of a life while looking like you have it all together?

Wanna stave off people without coming across as rude?

I feel tired.
I feel scared.
And still, I feel alive.
That is my defiance.

CUOMO: “Diversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan.”

EUGENE: “I’m Eugene.” 🤦🏻‍♂️

(Jonathan is the other Black host. SNL’s writers have nothing on Cuomo!)
