I'm still not over John Candy
When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

at some point you’re gonna say to yourself “how do I go to work and pretend everything is normal” and the answer is that you can’t and you gotta figure out how to merge the reality you live in vs. the one corporate America is trying to hallucinate where everything is fine

I hope one day I can be outside the tribunals selling bootleg merch. Shirts with Bart Simpson in judge robes sentencing Stephen Miller to the gallows, stuff like that.

GOOD DOG
This is Callie. She is trained to accurately detect bowel cancer in order to provide rapid diagnoses through non-invasive testing. Some might call it lab work, but Callie is actually a sprocker spaniel. 14/10 incredible job, Callie (IG: medicaldetectiondogs)

ice trying to threaten my family just bc we live in minneapolis and have a podcast that hates them. Grow up, fucking losers LOL
ICE just showed up at our house for the second day in a row. Four cars yesterday, today five. They rolled up slow, then got out to taunt us, and take pictures of the house. They want fear to overwhelm us, to project a fantasy of power meant to intimidate, isolate, produce obedience—not happening.
