We will have SO much fun with this for however many weeks/months he's in power and then it'll change to something else.

Some Senior VP at Target: Sir we thought The Blacks (TM) would let this go and come back but they haven't come back. They haven't come back sir! CFO: The line must go up, but it keeps going down! CEO, wearily removing glasses: It's time SVP: Sir, you don't mean-- CEO: Get me Al Sharpton

I cancelled my substack subs a while ago, and I had a lot, including a few writers whom I'd really like to give money to again! I know I'm not the only one.

Third friend this year got their US citizenship today. And we hug and have a drink and share rueful jokes about the moment we're in, but dammit they're excited to become Americans, and I'm overjoyed to share this country with anyone who wants to be here. That's what it's all about.

I know it's obvious but these corrupt idiots need to be removed from power, and I wish I heard more of our leaders saying it. Media, politicians, CEOs, former allies, somebody say what we're all thinking!

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

IDK feels weird to have spent years being angry at the media for normalizing/obfuscating Trump's positions, and now also be angry at normies for claiming not to have known his positions. The media as a whole did a terrible disservice to their audiences in 2024, and we all said so at the time!

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Also I hope we're all on this same page EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole they were ALL wrongfully deported. I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan' but NO ONE should've been sent there

Conservative men are terrified of riding the New York City subway. I am terrified of driving on the highway. We are not the same (I am far superior at risk assessment)

In the 3 months since we bought this "very fancy" chess set in Turkey, my 13-year-old has gone from losing every game to kicking my ass and calling me out for my opens. "Huh the Dutch Gambit, you might as well concede now." I love it.

I cannot stress enough that no one, and I mean NO ONE, in New York City wants driving to be the primary form of transport. There are 8.5 million people in this city. You would literally not be able to get anywhere.
