I really want Paul Rudd to recreate this super rad rapping scene from Teen Witch. But who should play the girl? 🤔

You know life isn’t going the best when you go to the beach and see a bunch of sea lions on the rock having a sea lion party and wish you were a sea lion because their lives seem so simple and fun.

There's such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn't be half so interesting. - Anne of Green Gables I forgot how lovely this book is.

My friend left it in my bathroom as a joke and I put it upside down in the tissue box so I wouldn't have to look at duck-Trump. I didn't think of it as a political statement. Anyway, I cleaned the Vbro, DID THE DISHES, left on time, locked the door, and so forth.

The Tale of The Trump Duck And The Vbro: I rented a Vbro in Carmel Valley to hang out with some friends. While there, we noticed the home was very MAGA coded. Military diplomas on the wall, JD Vance's Hillbilly novel *which had been underlined,* The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

Overheard two 20-something artists discussing life last night. Highlights: * "When I'm not interested in something, that's it, I'm not interested." * "My girlfriend wants to go to South America, which I'm not into. But she won't go to Asia, and I'm like, come on, that's billions of people." ->

The Ozempic trend among celebrities is producing some weird dreams for me: Women in puffed-sleeve blouses whose arms turn to charred tree branches walking along the street, and the withered people from Ursula‘s garden in The Little Mermaid giving a fashion show in front of a castle.

I guess it doesn't matter that Trump screwed up America 250 because almost half of Americans don't even know why we're celebrating.

Nearly half of Americans surveyed don't know what America 250 commemorates
A new national poll reveals a striking paradox in public sentiment ahead of America's 250th anniversary: a disconnect between Americans' strong patriotic pride and their lack of civic knowledge.

I'm a bicentennial baby. All my life, people have given me 1976 quarters and told me in 2026 the country would be 250 years old. I never dreamed it would look like this, with our rights and democracy under attack, the White House torn up, and a thief for a president.
