Republicans are always so desperate to masculinize the military, but it’s always like “No more trans members” or “Now we’re the department of WAR” and never just the sort of reasonable thing of “What if the navy uniform wasn’t the Shirliest fucking Temple thing on the planet?”

The second act of every Stephen King book is, “Hey mister, you don’t look so good. You sure you’re alright?” and it’s great every time.

I’ve never seen Wicked, but the premise of The Wizard Of Oz is that the whole thing was a dream, so Wicked is just like, “Hey guess what, that dream also has a backstory”?

It’s a time travel book about stopping the JFK assassination and “Ozzie” is referring to Lee Harvard Oswald. 10/10 so far.

(Thinking I’m about to win a debate about Arby’s being good.)

Okay, but do you think Arby’s has a right to exist?

The coffee place I go to serves their cortados in a tiny cup that I find humiliating to walk around with, so when I order it I ask for a regular cup, and then when it’s ready, they call out, “Cortado in a big cup!” which is also humiliating.

Congratulations! This is your third right? Two girls and now a boy. Nice. That’s a good dynamic. What am *I* up to? Well lately I’ve been singing Gorgui Dieng to the tune of Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen so that’s been keeping me pretty busy.

I think A.I. is bad and will kill us all but I also do think it could have come up with a way better song if given the prompt, “What would you do if you had a hammer?”

E.R. episode titles are consistently named after like the 4th most dramatic story line. There’s an episode called Leave It To Weaver where Kerry Weaver doesn’t back up Mark in a meeting while Carol narrowly survives a car crashing into her coffee place.

Yesterday was my first dentist appointment in way too long, and at one point I said, “I feel like they’re always playing Pet Shop Boys at dentist offices.” And the hygienist looked relieved and said, “I thought you were going to tell me I’m torturing you. You’re bleeding a lot.”
