Replacing education with ChatGPT is like replacing a basketball player with a cannon. It might rarely make the shot by accident but it’ll usually cause collateral damage.

I can’t tell whether Anthony Jeselnik is like Jeff Ross and Don Rickles—a kayfabe asshole who is nice in real life—or a legitimate asshole like Dave Chappelle.

abolish ICE. Abolish ICE. ABOLISH ICE. ABOLISH ICE!!

Dating sites are an example of something about our culture that Shouldn’t Be This Way. I feel sadness watching people advertise their entire selves in hopes of finding companionship amid strings of rejections. I’m not an old coot but I wish we could bring back communities. Everyone knowing everyone.

You couldn’t pay me to get into a driverless car. When they become a household item, you can count on two things. 1. These cars will keep malfunctioning and killing people. 2. Carmakers won’t hesitate to pin you with a murder rap to save themselves.

How in fuck’s name did this brand partnership happen? “Your British workingman gets drunk and beats his wife. Our American meat sticks get mechanically separated and beat your colon.”

So tired of waking up every day and the news is like, “President Trump signed an executive order called the ‘Anatomical Truth Act’ that declares pee is stored in the balls.”

I see progressive-except-Palestine liberals blaming Democrats for losing elections because they voiced support for Palestine and calling them antisemitic for it. I don’t have a lot of words for this one. I just hate all of it.

I always hear about 4G and 5G phones. I’m old enough to remember when phones were tethered but I don’t remember anyone saying, “You guys, I invented the G!”

“God I want to pick apples and clean a deep fryer so fucking bad.”—How conservatives think people thought 60 years ago.

The kids call that raw-dogging.

Teaching is the last job in the world that you want some LLM doing instead of a human. This would be common sense in a country that didn’t have end-stage capitalism brain.

This perennial meme is nice and all but that kind of talk 𝘪𝘴 American. That’s the entire problem.

Rick Derringer’s cornball theme song for Hulk Hogan was instrumental in putting him over, and Hulk Hogan getting over was the linchpin of the Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Connection. Rick Derringer’s music changed the course of an entire American industry, for better or worse. … … … You know what? Just worse.

I hate when a doctor says they’re not worried and you can’t tell whether that means, “You’re not in danger,” or, “lmao i'll just get another patient at your funeral”.

COVID has had its pluses—I know but hear me out! I’ve never had COVID because I’m a germaphobe and a recluse. As everyone else gets foggier brains, they get more impressed with my medium intelligence. I look smarter in the same way everything looks bigger on a shaved pubis.

If we really honored deceased veterans, we’d try to create less of them.

Compiling NBA statistics to make in-class examples for my stats class. Let me tell you, compiling NBA salaries is depressing AF when you’re a tall, dyspraxic math teacher.

I just realized that every NBA team sounds like something out of Mega Man X. “Charlotte Hornet is weak against Oklahoma City Thunder.”

If I were a Chuck Tingle book right now, its title would be “Pounded in the Butt by Sudden Expenses.”

I don’t understand why a Rolex would impress anyone who isn’t rich. My broke ass doesn’t know what a Rolex looks like. You might as well paint “Rolex” over “Casio.”

I’m not saying to lose hope. That’s the opposite of what I think you should do. But I am saying you better operate under the assumption that the 2026 and 2028 elections will be rigged all to fuck and back.

There’s a surprising amount of math in this. Substantive math, not just arithmetic. youtu.be/0QWP4IZOu0I

I am deeply sorry to hear about Phil Robertson after 12 years of happily forgetting he existed.

The older I get, the more the ill-thought-out ideal utopian future depicted in Star Trek viscerally bugs me. No matter how much you improve society, someone needs to be incentivized to take responsibility for cleaning the jizz out of the holodeck.

Watching Clint Hall’s stand-up comedy. He mentions that he used to be a professional wrestler, which surprised the audience. But I see it.

I’ve been trying to rewatch Miss Artemis: Pet Regressor. Artemis Pebdani plays a psychic for pets and the videos are like five minutes long and have almost zero budget. It’s weird how the Internet has everything except what I’m looking for.

I’m not going to let a damn machine do my thinking, especially if it won’t also do my worrying.

I wish real life was like a CastleVania game: talk shit to Dracula, solve a few puzzles in a creepy castle, and then I can double jump and change into a bat for the rest of my life.

Crestfallen to hear about Peter David dying. His comics are fun to read. His book on writing taught me a lot. I recommend it. He knew how to make fictional characters feel like someone whose hand you could shake.

Last time I checked, Ukraine is a country with multiple borders through which supplies can be brought, while Gaza is an open air prison. Holy shit you people are the dumbest motherfuckers alive

I know this’ll sound like I’m high but I’m not… I suspect every generation gets more melodramatic because we get our common culture from watching actors. Like any skill, actors improve over decades of practice, but we identify with young actors. Novice-to-intermediate actors teach youths how to be.

Planned obsolescence is the most evil shit ever thought up. I’m broke and my devices are at that age where I push a button and they’re like, “Yeah, I’m not doing that.”

Trump speaking at West Point like he wouldn’t be the first to surrender West Point to an invading army.

I don’t believe intelligence is measurable as a single variable because I’ve heard Kid Rock is actually quite a proficient multi-instrumentalist and sound engineer. Because if you asked me to estimate Kid Rock’s intelligence at anything non-musical…

If my parents knew what gentle parenting was in the 80s, they’d have said, “I know you’re struggling with big feelings right now, but none of them are valid.”

“Llamaste” means “you called” in Spanish, but in English it’s how you respond to your friends asking if you want to go out.

I don’t like how the news media talks about famine like it’s a natural disaster. With the amount of food and movement of goods that is possible, no famine is natural.

I believe the name Ashton was invented when someone tried to name their kid Austin but was so drunk they forgot a third of the letters.

I have an uncanny talent for buying and beating a game right before it goes on sale.
