Them: "Covid is just like the flu."
Me: "You mean the 1918 flu epidemic that killed an estimated 50 million people world wide and whose subsequent variants are the ones we're still dealing with a century later?"

Maybe the biggest story of this year is that party that calls everyone "groomers" deposed their Speaker for the first time in American history, led by a member who was trying to end an investigation into his statutory rape charges. And it worked. And the press barely noted it.

Remember: if a kid shows up tonight not wearing a costume, mind your fuckin business and make with the fuckin candy. Some kids are poor and can’t afford a costume. Some kids are sneaking out because of religious parents. Give them candy and tell them happy Halloween.

We all know what they mean by "woke." They might as well go all the way with it. They want cream and sugar in their coffee because they don't want it too woke. They miss having a Wokeberry. They love the Woke Eyed Peas. I must be gaining weight because these woke guys hit on me

I did once have a moment of envy at another writer, when a classmate of mine won a Pulitzer and I was all, awww, I want a Pulitzer! But then I remembered he actually did the work to get one and I hadn't, so I got over it quick, and emailed him congrats. He did the same when I got my Best Novel Hugo.

It's time to break up STEM. Computer Majors and Engineers aren't scientists. Science education is about repeatedly humbling yourself before the unknowable nature of the universe and seeking greater understanding anyway, not being a 6 figure asshole who thinks they know everything

The thing about Bill Maher is that his resentment of young people, particularly young women, completely subsumes any political principles, so now he’s just a conservative Republican because young people are liberal, many such cases

For a long time, scientists weren't sure why giant squid eyes were so massive. They have the biggest eyes in the animal kingdom!
Somewhat recently, scientists realized that their eyes are probably so big to see the bioluminescence around diving sperm whales!
