6-7 gives me hope for the future. There's an entire generation out there who doesn't give a fuck what adults are up to & what we're destroying & how much we're fucking up. They have their own shit going on & they're all in on it together & it's fun & it doesn't involve us at all.

I know a lot of people are joking about Trump’s escalator crisis, but about ten years ago, my uncle was on an escalator that stopped moving after a few seconds and it really ripped my family apart. He's literally still there. We visit him and yell up to him, etc. But it's not the same as it was.

It’s cool that Al Pacino is such a good actor that nobody even batted an eye as he’s transformed into a beautiful majestic lion.

This guy’s commitment to his craft is just nuts. He literally fathered a child and raised that child to be a film director for this role. So admirable.

Writing a movie about a Formula 1 driver who’s really fast and could be the best ever, except that he keeps using his turning signal.

I think the problem with the internet is that I feel the need to publicly state that Richard Manuel from The Band looks like @brianrosenworcel.bsky.social from @guster.bsky.social when really this is just something I should tell my wife when she gets home from work and is tired and is ignoring me.

Look, I know some people are loving that Trump and Musk are fighting and think it’s SO funny that it’s gonna get ugly and they’re gonna reveal personal things about each other, and you might think it’s great that this is happening, and that it’s all fun and games

I feel like talking to JD Vance is probably like having a conversation with a guy who works at a guitar store. You can't exactly put your finger on it but it never quite feels comfortable or natural.

Biden should be more like Carson and less like Conan. You did the stuff, some was very good, now go away and let us remember the good stuff. Obama, on the other hand, should be Conan. Stay relevant, do some weird interesting shit for a while longer. Maybe even go on Hot Ones.

Andrew Cuomo has the distinction of being disliked by both democrats and republicans. Based on my current understanding of politics in this country, he will be the next mayor of NYC.
