“Does he not understand how the senate works here?” “It’s unclear if he doesn’t understand or just doesn’t care.” Objectively an insane thing to casually say about the president on the news. Every once in a while I’m still able to marvel at the madness that has become our reality.

The power went out in the airport as I was going through security and I got to live the Mitch Hedberg escalator joke with the added comedy of the sound of everyone’s enormous suitcases bouncing as they tried to carry them down awkward metal stairs
“An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You would never see an Escalator Temporarily Out of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs, Sorry for the convenience.”

that fact that they make “elizabethan collars” for dogs, and real elizabethan collars are called “ruff collars” and no one has made a dog elizabethan collar that looks like a classic elizabethan ruff collar is such a huge missed opportunity. the design, name, and marketing is right there my guys

Surprised this got deleted instead of him doubling down and announcing America's AMAZING new health care plan!!!
Extremely normal image of the president, definitely not as Jesus but as a doctor because doctors are always famously wearing red shrouds on their shoulders and healing people with light coming out of their hands and also being prayed to *EAGLE SCREAM*

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You  know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

To me the funniest possible thing a man can do with a midlife crisis is get married. Like “oh no I’m alone and in my feels about it, better legally make this someone else’s problem” yeah bud that’ll fix all of the issues you refuse to examine within yourself
