I do what I do because nobody else was doing it. Simple as that. There's no passion behind it. I just saw an opening and I took it. Like how some people run businesses that provide portable toilets to construction sites and outdoor events. Do you think that's their passion? I sure as hell hope not.

Can you imagine being one of those cats that can tell when somebody is gonna die once word gets out about your powers? Every time you try to get a little skritch, people run away from you, thinking you're alerting them of their doom. Dang.

AI sucks fat hog for so many reasons but one I haven’t seen shit on enough is how it plays into dumbass meme culture. One talentless dummy does a “what if this rap song was a doo-wop song?” and then a hundred thousand other useless idiots are also like “what if THIS rap song was a doo-wop song too?”

Hey team, I really appreciate your daily invitations to have lunch with you all. At this point, you must be wondering why I have never taken you up on your offer, and I just want to explain myself before things get too weird.
I can’t go to Sweetgreen with you because I can’t cheat on my wife.

I bought new notebooks just about a year ago and like clockwork now I’m flooded with ads for notebooks and instead of being mad about *HOW EVERYTHING IS* I’m mad at myself for not filling up the notebooks and needing more notebooks.

Baby’s first McSweeney’s.
Baby meaning me, not my actual baby. If my daughter got published in McSweeney’s before she was three months old I’d honestly be more jealous than proud.
Anyways go read it.

WHAT A CONCEPT!
The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

For the few hours between purchasing my ticket and the official drawing, I wasn’t a billionaire, but I wasn’t not a billionaire. I was Schrodinger’s billionaire, both billionaire and not, a Prince and a Pauper, Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd.
