This week I wrote a piece about this Ramin Nazer artwork that I love.

It’s also about advice columns, the Buddha, and Seinfeld a little bit.

I hope you enjoy!

I’m fortunate to be the friend of the incredible artist Dan Piraro.

He created the cartoon Bizarro and also lots of other great art and writing and was kind and thoughtful enough to include this lovely recommendation of my new comedy special “Rini” in his blog.

Thank you Dan and thank you all!

Can you believe the thing that happened recently?

It is very different from previous things!

I am in SAG!

Which means that Quentin Tarantino thinks that I am a stronger actor than Paul Dano (who is a very good actor)!

Thanks QT!

I think it would be very funny if the Nobel committee gives out a prize for soccer next year.

Most presidents would be content for their legacy to be a soccer-based peace prize OR a new Rush Hour movie, but both?!

LIFE HACK: if anyone ever tells you to “eat shit and die,” feel free to imagine it with commas, like a companion piece to “eat, pray, love”... “eat, shit, and die.”

My mom shared this fun story.

I shared it with the internet.

The reactions have ranged from “THIS IS BRILLIANT” to “why not just be honest and direct with people” (which is brilliant).

Lots of people shared THEIR versions of what they do in this situation. Want to share yours?

Much love, all!

Here's a tip from my grandfather that my mom recently shared with me:

If you want to get off the phone with someone, hang up in the middle of YOUR OWN sentence.

Many geese, one goose.

So why isn't one of many sheep called a "shoop"?

I wrote a joke about the observer effect but I can't let anyone see it or it’ll become a different joke.

Some fun loose riffing with a lady in a tiara!

If you prefer tightly written and planned jokes over fun loose riffing, why not check out my new special “Rini” which is free on YouTube right now and forever?

I hope you enjoy this, that, and/or whatever you enjoy!

Has there ever been a ventriloquist act where it’s the HUMAN who says horrible things and the DUMMY is the reasonable one who tries to get them to settle down?

Looks like it’s time for another joke in visual form!

If you enjoy seeing these words, may I recommend my new special “Rini” on YouTube? You can even put the captions on, if looking at the words is something you always value.

Thanks all! Much love!

We’ve all heard that “laughter is the best medicine,” but I’ve never seen a commercial that said “Ask your doctor if laughter is right for you.”
