I gotta say, as this war with Iran ramps up I gotta ask myself: should I have stayed partners with those people who hated my guts, so I could be less bored when the grid goes down?

Before you answer, remember how fun it was to have a second person with a house on your Animal Crossing island??

What’s that? Why yes, I’ve totally forgotten how that comedy celebrity was shitty to me, I would love to hear your unsolicited monologues about how perfect their work is and how I should check them out

I feel the human experience can be summed up this way:

- I have one really bad kidney
- a voluntary kidney donor could add decades to my life
- most people have a spare
- the risk of donor complications is less than 1 in 10,000
- the odds are virtually impossible that someone is willing to donate

If we could just put off armageddon a little bit longer, I have some severe personal trauma I’ve been working on and I’d really like time to feel like a special little victim before reality ends

Tonight I sat with a trans person who wishes to remain anonymous, and we tried to use Gemini to show how HRT would affect facial features.

What resulted was Gemini randomly going in and out of photo generation, lying about it, doing the opposite of what it was prompted… Smarter how? It gaslights?

In war everyone loses, and when you start a war that means you were already a loser

It’s not that I CAN’T match your freak

It’s that I have gone on a date with more than one person who put “match my freak” in their bio, and then their freak was “sometimes I eat cereal after 11AM”

Hope everyone is enjoying the business news articles written by a web designer’s ChatGPT account telling all of us that AI isn’t taking any jobs

It’s gotten worse and worse for 50 years and articles like this are fantasy. Network was real 50 years ago, we’ve screwed up media so much worse.

People have said Idiocracy* is coming true for 20 years. No. We are 20 years into Idiocracy.

*and Idiocracy’s constant use of slurs has NOT aged well.

There’s a lot to enjoy about the Olympics, but I find nationalism so revolting that it is impossible for me to care.

Apologies to the hundred or so people who asked me if I was watching, I have done my best not to dry heave but have not always succeeded.

Anyways sleds and arrows are fun

Fuck any medical providers who don't give a fuck about being trauma-informed. Either your healthcare practice is trauma-informed, or it's not healthcare. Period.

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

I will put out a third and final stand-up album and it will be vinyl-only and come with a record player, a speaker, a power generator, one ration of water and protein, three pills of potassium iodide to protect you from nuclear radiation while you listen, and a clean square of cloth to weep into

Dating apps serve only two functions:

1) They figuratively suggest you go fuck yourself

2) They literally suggest you go fuck yourself

Deliberate typo as a fuck you to Clippy

I still can’t get over how we spent 30 years making fun of Clippy for being the worst and most annoying technology of all time, and mow we are destroying civilization to power Mega-Clippy

It sucks that they put so much effort into rendering most of the WNBA player faces, then put absolutely ZERO effort into actual game mechanics.

NBA players have a whole Spike Lee-directed lore-heavy narrative, and can have a gigantic wardrobe.

WNBA players get black yoga pants and a middle finger.

I played NBA2K26 on Twitch last night & got to my 2nd season as my WNBA player Nausica Telfair.

- You earn money— that only your male players can spend.
- If you win the WNBA finals the ENTIRE starting lineup quits, even if you do bonding events all off-season. Just like in 2K25.

Boo. 2K blew it.

What an about like a pink triangle, or some kind of tattoo that signifies we’re officially registered so we no longer need our IDs?

There’s near infinite evidence that powerful wealthy mean kidnapped girls, assaulted & killed them, then buried the evidence.

Then you compare the powerful wealthy men to kidnapped girls from the 1600’s, who were assaulted & killed by powerful wealthy men.

Admit you’re simply terrified of women.
