My new collection of short stories and poetry -- We Had It Coming -- is available for pre-order now! It's the best thing I've ever written and I think you all will find solace and despair in equal measure within.

"The French ice dancers are evil" is something I just learned and also could have easily told you had you asked me knowing nothing about anything.

In fairness this is also almost every other university in the country.
I love learning about free speech from Columbia the school most famous for having cops beat and arrest its own students for noticing a genocide.
Very excited about this new @knightcolumbia.org project, both because it gives us the chance to look beyond the current democratic crisis and because so many super people have already agreed to participate. knightcolumbia.org/content/new-...

No touching makes it so much hotter
Happiest relationship Jack was ever in was with Floyd (Sudeikis), most sexually-charged one was with Devon Banks.

Lot of people mentioning Phoebe, and I agree she was among the best. Part of that is while Emily Mortimer was well known by season 1 (2006!) she wasn't anywhere near as famous as all the others, which made them harder to for me to suspend my disbelief.
You're right about most of Jack's romances but "I have hollow bones...like a bird" will stay in my mind forever

Just came back around the other night to this prescient joke about my two favorites topics, 30 Rock and how much "AI" fucking sucks.

We've been told to ignore what happened at the 2000 DNC, then Occupy, then Ferguson, on into 2020 protests and the anti-ICE actions of today. According to them, you aren’t supposed to believe your eyes when police kill someone or when ICE kidnaps a kid.

If there were going to be flying cars in 15 years that would be a pretty interesting article to read like once. "Damn that's crazy" etc. They wouldn't have an article every single day counting it down.
I don't care about the rational guy "this stuff is actually going to be pretty important one day" takes either. OK! Well let me know when it actually works man.
We don't usually have hear about the run up to any other experimental product every day of our lives for years.

If you wanted people to be less hostile to "AI" then you should have had a different group of liars trying to push it than the ones behind the metaverse, crypto, driverless cars, NFTs etc.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

plus, the left has shown much better "party loyalty" and harm-reduction instincts in the actual voting booth than the center has. PUMA democrats bail to support the right when a more progressive candidate is on the ballot far more than leftists do when the usual centrist is.

tbh nobody should be asking leftists if they'll support newsom and leftists should mostly brush off the question. it's a divisive trap that serves *only* newsom's personal interests. he isn't the candidate, he's a shithead and nominating him would be a bad idea. useless hypothetical.

I am the world’s foremost 30 Rock Watcher and I don’t really love any of Jack’s romance plots.

There is only one “question about the self” and if you don’t ask it every single day I envy you.
Hm no they're not.
