So we’re all agreed that the new ____ on High Potential had something to do with _____’s disappearance, right? I love the show, but I can’t help thinking that this particular arc was lifted right out of an older police series.

Right?! I was trying to join an online seminar. I had to watch a You Tube video to learn where the fiendish little thingy was.
I’ve had this laptop for three or four years and never knew there was a built-in 📷 shutter guard

I'm trying to use Bluesky to sell tickets to my comedy special taping. Don't make me promote on Twitter. I'd rather have an empty house. But it'd be so much nicer if it were full.

Dear Journalists,

You seriously don’t have to always be like, “2 + 2, said by some experts in math to equal four.” You can just say the thing. It doesn’t make you biased. Really. It’s okay.
