regrettably I must admit this is the crossover event of the century

My strongest-held political belief, with now decades of evidence to back it up, is that Texas is always four years away from turning blue. So if Talarico pulls this off, I'm going to have to reevaluate everything I thought I knew.

I'm going to be riding the high all day of seeing a tourist tell a homeless man that she liked his Taylor Swift T-shirt and hearing him snap back, "Well I don't like you!"

We’re at the movies and the gentleman next to me is scrolling on this here app before the trailers start … I genuinely thought all of you lived in my phone.

I know complaining about critics' "best of" lists is a bit passe, but I still cannot believe the NYT included "Louie" in its list of 100 best TV shows of the century. Especially now that we know how much of his onstage persona was cover for him being a creep IRL.

I’m sure all the Cancel Culture people will be outraged by Macklemore being dropped from the Ed Sheeran tour solely for having a political opinion a bunch of NFL owners don’t like 👍

"are texas christian nationalists forcing kids to read the bible to give them a thorough education in classical western letters or are they doing it to indoctrinate kids into their fascist death cult" seems like an easy question to answer

I love traveling to fancy events because the lady behind us in the boarding line to Monterey just said she no longer lives in the Village because “when Sarah Jessica Parker moved in next door it ruined my life.”

It’s hard having topical conversations with people who are mostly offline, because my family was talking about AI and I said “at long last we have created the Torment Nexus” but no one got it.

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

I had the biggest surgery on my body to-date on a July 1st, which turned out to be ideal because the attendings weren't letting the interns and residents touch anything yet. By July 4th, though, I assume they're getting their hands in there.

In case you're wondering, yes, Trump's schedule lists him at his golf club in New Jersey this weekend. You can't expect him to attend his son's wedding with a demanding schedule like that.
Schedule that reads:

Saturday, May 23 2026
• 8:00 AM
The President participates in Executive Time
• The White House • In-Town Pool
12:00 PM
In-Town Pool Call Time
9 Trump National Golf Club Bedminster & In-Town Pool
