It is grimly funny that there is literally only one thing Trump could do to make the majority of Americans (and the world) happy. As stupid and narcissistic as he is, I think he knows it, too, and I hope that knowledge is part of what makes him so miserable.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

I need to start looking at my mundane routines with the wide-eyed excitement of an ’80s rapper. Those guys made everything sound fun. They’d be like, “I was cold chillin’ at the crib,” and it meant “I stayed home.”

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

study after study after study shows that literally just handing people money and telling them "do what you want with this" reduces homelessness, increases food security for children, makes it more likely people will find and retain jobs.1

My daughter’s costume this year was “ribbon-cutting cereal gone wrong.” I love that she shares my absurd sense of humor and also has the energy and confidence to go through with her ideas instead of being like, “Wouldn’t it be funny if…”

If you asked me blind what a guy named “Ernie Clement” did for a living, “professional baseball player” would have been my first guess.

Halloween rules. Watch horror movies for a month, then one night have some drinks, dress your kid like a cartoon character, walk around in the dark knocking on strangers’ doors to ask for candy, and meet your neighbors, who are in silly, scary or horny costumes. 10/10 holiday, none better.

Going full Andy Rooney here, but I am goddamn sick of how shitty and user-hostile remote controls are now. The main buttons -- volume, play/pause, channel up/down, etc. -- are tiny and buried among random shit that exits you from the show. It’s a Chinese psy-op to keep us a little grumpy.

Haha remember in 2016 when there were rubes saying with a straight face, “He’d be corruption-proof — he’s so rich he doesn’t NEED any more money!”
President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him, reports The New York Times.

And neither he nor anyone from his regime will be held accountable, in the unlikely event Dems ever regain power. They’d wring their hands over being characterized by Trump-aligned media as doing their own version of this. Not that they’d have the stomach for de-Nazification anyway.

I’m getting a shit ton of texts asking if I’m going to be at the No Kings Protest tomorrow. Are these from Dems who want me to sign up for fundraising emails and texts for the rest of my life, or something more sinister? There’s not any good reason to respond, is there?

This is great. “Free speech warrior” comics admitting they were told not to mock religion or the government when performing for the journalist-murdering Saudis and then complaining about “cancel culture” is a sick joke.
I'm a "glass is half-full" kinda guy, so let's look at the upside of the Riyadh Comedy Festival: We never, ever have to even pretend to take any of these "anti-woke" "free speech warriors" seriously, ever again.

Emily bought black garlic when the store was out of regular cloves and I said, Haha, what is this, regular garlic that went bad? Just read about it and turns out yep, pretty much. And it’s delicious! Still have a lot so I’m experimenting with recipes. Thus far it’s best by itself on a cracker.
