The year is 2003.

17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity."

Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.

Some of us are like "this song is nice" and some of us are like "the use of the word 'green' is a reference to a comment left on an Audrey Hobart IG post by Conan Grey in 2023 where if you read it in reverse the first letters of the first four words are S-E-R-P which is obviously

I remember “some poorer people in rural areas deal with life’s challenges by clinging to guns and religion” being the greatest insult of all time.

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

Jimmy and his writing staff are honestly some of the funniest people I know, and also some of the best people, and the way you know they’re funny and good is that this goofy pampered clown has this much time to be this angry at them.
