No, I didn't send this with the last line, but I have to say it felt really good to write it.

So the international community is just going to watch, either with indifference or active glee, as a population that is almost 50% children get bombed or starved into oblivion? Is this where we are?

I have Cartman in my head, singing that farkin Come Sail Away song, and I wish someone would just knock me out already.

Social Security is our money. That's not a debate. It exists because it is deducted from a paycheck. Yours. Mine. Ours. It's our money.

She's doing a bit. She's a comedic angel and has never done anything wrong ever. I believe this because I choose to

Hey, an occasional reminder: Should you be fighting fascism here in the US? Yes, you should! Are you the one who decides how best you can do that? Yes, you are! Should the people who decide that you're not doing it right (i.e., the way they want you to) fuck off into the sun? Yes, they should!

Saw a post from someone who'd hated a book I'd written, but JUST READ IT AGAIN and hated it even more the second time. 😜 I can't explain why this makes me happy, but it does. Am I a masochist, or just easily amused?

At this point, the antique store ventriloquist dummy that's growing human eyes and has a thirst for blood is a more respected brand than Tesla.

In the green room of the library in St. Louis. I hear there’s 325 or so people out there. Wonder what I’m gonna say. I mean, really: got zero plans. Never do. It’s kind of how I keep from being afraid of going off-plan. Anyway, should be fun. If I think of something to say.

DOGE is at IMLS shutting it down And on Reddit there are claims that they're also telling people to turn over their phones I don't even know what to say anymore. This isn't a democracy, it hasn't been ever since he came back and I'm very, very tired & scared.

This is a bad answer. First of all, saying "conditional basic income" is like saying dehydrated water. Second, those like Reid enjoy passive income without work requirements through stock dividends and earned interest. If it's good for them, it's good for the rest of us. Third, UBI doesn't need AI.
