On Monday we were told our cat is about to die. Today I was told that my car was dead and it’ll be $7K to fix it. It’s a really good time to leave me the fuck alone.

Old people: Kids these days, always on their phones and playing video games! Why don’t they just go outside and play. Also old people: I hate these kids outside on their e-bikes.

I hear a lot of complaints about The Batman II delay. Sure it's taken a while, but we did get a really good Penguin show since the first film came out

Every sitcom dad in the 80s bought a fancy sports car because of a midlife crisis. I’m past midlife and I just wish I had enough money to get my Scion XB to run.

People say that you own physical media forever. Well, I hate to break it to you, but you won’t live forever and your physical media will eventually be owned by a landfill.
