Just imagining one of the candidates being like "Uhh, maybe a parade where they walk backwards the whole time?" and it tanks their candidacy
Can't stop thinking about the question, "Are there any parades that don't exist that you think should?" By far the funniest thing ever asked at a debate.

I can’t believe that in this whole giant bill nobody included an amendment that movie theaters have to have a little countdown clock in the corner when they’re playing trailers that shows how much time until the movie actually starts so you know if you have time for a last pee

Whatever happens, and whatever you think of him, Zohran has run an incredible campaign that Democrats (or anyone) should learn from. This man was polling at 1% in February.

Free idea for any mayoral candidate who wants it: when they play trailers at the movies there should be a little clock in the corner of the screen that tells you how much time is left until the movie actually starts so you know if you have time for a last pee

On the one hand, Trump has no right to do this, it's blatantly illegal, and it sets a precedent that undermines our system of government and the very rule of law.

In a mindset right now where there’s a logic to “All the Knicks need to do is win one at home, which should be doable, then one in Indiana which they did already so they’d probably win that, and then it’s game 7 at MSG, and that’s like, easy, so there’s a VERY high chance the Knicks make the Finals”

(pitching the idea for cars)

Everyone gets a “car.” Each “car” is 6000 lbs and will go 80 mph. If you accidentally steer your car one foot in the wrong direction everyone in your car will die. This will happen every day thousands of times. So that’s cars.

If the Knicks could win the games they’re supposed to win, in addition to winning the games they’re supposed to lose, they would win all the games

Okay this is a place where people come to sleep so the hallway should be blindingly bright and doors should slam loud enough for the entire floor to hear. Did you get the smoke detectors with the flashing green lights? Good, put them directly over the bed
