We're doing this now?
I'm gay and happily partnered but I'd like an exchange program to be a woman's husband for like a month. I think I'd be really good at it (except for that one part)!

I'm not one of those Divas Gays but I cannot understand why Anita Baker isn't on more people's Mount Rushmore. Her voice is so controlled, so powerful, and there's no embellishments or runs. I wish I knew more about music so I could say why she's perfect youtu.be/drKJxKyv5Eg?...

What if a paying Grindr customer met me, invited me over, was watching a Spiderman when I came over, and then when he was undressing I said, "Is that Marisa Tomei?" And he said, "What??" in kind of a mean voice so then I sighed big and left, could HE get a refund? Like hypothetically?

I think if someone pays for Grindr and meets me as a result, Grindr should send me a little residual cheque every so often! In a way, I am owed!

Pay for Grindr?? What's next, a laughter tax? A monthly invoice from the sun???

Reading an absolute tome about Frank Sinatra today and it's important to note that his makeup artist was named Beans Pondel

My first kiss after midnight was the drunkest guy at the party who snogged me passionately and then slurred, "Mmmm which one are you?" Which is the exact drowsy, nonsensical energy I'm bringing into 2026

A perfect vehicle for Aubrey Plaza is the Netflix series I'm writing about Maxine from Shoebox Greetings as a young woman

Tom Snyder's Late Late Show was simulcast in the 90s on CBS TV and CBS Radio, thus proving that while a video podcast is not new, it is boring

I love a big Hollywood swing that doesn't pay off. Angelina Jolie plays Maria Callas and even does her own singing? Sorry diva, we'd prefer Sonic The Hedgehog 3!

I got a hot water bottle for Christmas and it's changed my life

I know it's awful but this Christmas I want one (1) consequence-free cigarette shared among friends I don't see anymore outside a bar that no longer exists in a place I haven't lived for 25 years while we dream about life away from this godforsaken place

The device that cleanly removes the security tag from an item at a retail store should also take the price tag along with it. Mom doesn't need to know this was on sale!

I know we're "beyond labels", but for an obviously straight person, Trump has the personality of the worst gay you know. "That dress is hideous. You're a pig face. Apologize to me." The inverse of how Neil Patrick Harris is clearly gay but has the personality of the worst straight man I can think of

I don't want to put her through the Kathryn Hahn Laura Dern Carrie Coon pipeline where we love her so much we overdose, but can we put Kerry Washington a bunch more stuff, please?

Just met two husbands who are both hairdressers but at competing salons! Real Hairfields and McBobs vibes

Something I can't figure out about the current "manosphere" is what the appeal is when it's so unpleasant. It's all 5 AM cold plunge biohack day trading. These guys don't even fuck!

Cher wearing sweatpants to lipsync her SNL performance is better than Handel's Messiah sorry

I wonder if Kristen Bell has ever met Christian Bale. That would be like if I met a guy called Jaomes Ousteem

A clamour of activity from the wintry streets below awakens Scrooge from a fitful slumber. Shouts and merriment travel upward, reaching his window like curls of smoke. He eases open the pane and calls to a small boy, "What's going on?"
"They pardoned Jelly Roll, sir! They pardoned Jelly Roll!"

Straight people write queer relationships as if they are straight ones but they swap out one of the genders. This consequently reflects a "funhouse mirror" queerness that straight people love but queer people observe with a quiet unease, like those AI videos of cats doing people things

I hate when a documentary turns out to be about the documentarian. Thanks for nothing!

How nice to have a song I wrote with Kazuo Ishiguro, performed by Stacey Kent, chosen by President Obama for his 2025 music recommendations list.
