I never listen to new music anymore but I have like a half-dozen prescription drug jingles in my head at all times.

Silver lining: the Trump administration is so stunningly incompetent there’s a statistically good chance that the next time they plan something stupid, they’ll cc a journalist and disclose everything.

This morning I predicted that Trump would halt the tariffs hours before they were set to go into effect and make a victory lap for preventing us from eating the shit sandwich he prepared. Nostradamus over here. It's almost like we've been through 4 years of this shit already.

I'm convinced the people who name Rx drugs are high out of their minds. I would like this job very much.
RX MARKETER: "What are we calling this drug?"
ME (*takes hit. Coughs.*): "Skyrizi."
"Good, what about this one?"
"Wegovy?"
"I want you to go way out there. Just say something crazy."
"Keytruda."

Social media has influenced the argot to the point that people seem to think braying like a hall monitor (“Just a reminder …” “We need to talk about …” “Stop saying …” “I don't know who needs to hear this …”) guarantees instant attention and it’s really boring.

"We want to disrupt the publishing industry!"
"Okay, how?"
"You pay us a bunch of money and we produce your book for you!"
"Pretty sure that's already a thing."
"But we're disruptors!"

At this point, I'm convinced that being accused of sexual assault advances someone to the front of the applicant pool when Trump considers a cabinet pick.

Excited to be on a platform that doesn't feature Elon Musk popping up every five seconds to say "Interesting." "True." "Wow."
