hey guys I wanna get ahead of something here. For the last few decades I've been pretty publicly consistent in my core values but that's easy when you stay in the same tax bracket. But recently I realized that if I could afford a private jet, I would book it in an instant just to travel with my dog.

am I at that point of wealth? no. but I want this to be like a reverse of when they dig up old posts from people after they achieve success. I want you to know this is a thing I would absolutely do. I would take a private jet to wherever I'm going and have my travel-loving dog with me.

I fucking hate that I have to vote for judges. How the fuck should I know whether or not these THIRTEEN PEOPLE are good at their jobs? Did they fill out a performance review? Do I look them each up on LinkedIn and reach out to their coworkers? Even the ones w Wikipedia pages give me no information.🤷‍♀️

I didn’t think I’d like scuba diving bc I love the water but don’t like having a bunch of shit on me. glad my partner encouraged me & we learned in a place where diving 35 meters down to a sunken ship is an easy fun time

Just to be clear this is not where we learned. We learned to dive in 50-degree low visibility Monterey. This made yesterday’s wreck dive off Waikīkī delightfully easy!

I’m still on vacation but have 30 min in the car to read more about Ethan Klein’s latest fuckup. I saw ppl saying he “groomed” his affair partner…on the one hand apparently she’s nearly 30. On the other hand she’s dumb enough to work for a genocidal monster so yeah maybe put her in a conservatorship

tired: ethnic cleansing wired: Ethanic cleansing

I absolutely do not believe in karma but two weeks ago I found $200 cash on the street and got it back to the person who dropped it and today I dropped my phone in the Pacific Ocean & someone found it and returned it within the hour

They said they suspected it was me bc they saw me in my hot pink board shorts in the water earlier. Ironically, it was those same shorts’ convenient back pocket that resulted in the phone going rogue in the first place

It went 50 miles an hour, had no pedals, and legally required the driver to have a motorcycle license. You may as well call a bazooka a bicycle and label them a menace to society.

For those who don’t know, property tax funds PUBLIC EDUCATION, and all the infrastructure that makes your home actually livable, including paying the people who stop your house from burning down. It has nothing to do with the IRS. Rich people want no property tax bc they want to own all the property

“The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies…However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.” This is not weird.

They're weirdly pressing two kinds of white supremacist lies at once -- some non-white immigrants are poverty-wracked criminals who are eating our dogs and cats, but other non-white immigrants are rich elites who are buying up mansions and flying first class. Pick a fucking lane, you clowns.

I spent my birthday flying to a tropical island where I met Ben the paint. When I saw Ben I fell in love with him so they let me ride him even though he is a silly little imp who will crash into the jungle to eat a bush if the spirit moves him. I would fight and die for Ben.

Flying Hawaiian for the 1st time since their merger. They announced that “the bar” was open. Dope. I walked up to a flight attendant playing on her phone and asked her where the bar is. She sighed the biggest sigh while opening a drawer of mini liquors & said, “Well, I guess that’s me.”

were people this confidently wrong before the internet? sure. could they be this wrong this often at total strangers? no. also sorry but when you copy a youtube url it includes the title, which is annoying but I don’t feel like deleting and reposting.

you know you got a good airport lounge bartender when he makes your mimosa by filling up the glass with champagne and then making direct eye contact as he very slowly drips oj in

"You Can See Everything" has the greatest uncredited easter egg cameo I've ever seen in a film. The name of that character is cocaine.

All I wanted for my birthday was a feature length Nathan Fielder documentary that makes me crawl out of my skin. THANK YOU UNIVERSE

I would have assumed that guy was snorting coke even if weren't for his constant sniffing and the fact that his name is Billy, but those definitely contributed. I'm sorry but name one adult man named Billy who isn't constantly nipping off to the bathroom

All I wanted for my birthday was a feature length Nathan Fielder documentary that makes me crawl out of my skin. THANK YOU UNIVERSE

Oh I know the answer! I was very happy being single in my 20s, dating lots of people, living in my own 1br w two cool cats, etc. The misogynists accused me of being secretly miserable for all those things. Now in my 40s, married in a big house w one cool dog, still very happy, & they are STUMPED

I wonder what comes next if you say no.

JD Vance just accidentally said that if there's not a real case against Ilhan Omar then they won't bother with following the facts.

Friends asked about our plans & we said You Can See Everything. This led to us trying to describe Nathan Fielder, starting with Nathan for You & that just made them uncomfortable so then we described The Rehearsal & that made it worse. This film will succeed in spite of its biggest fans I know it

lmao I looked up which was which when I posted this AM and even I glanced at this and thought “well yeah obviously the mom looks older bc she’s more confident and the daughter is freaked out bc all the magic stuff is new to her” and then I double checked and realized I was wrong

Okay, but in this picture the mother does look a lot older. So I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

like come on, congrats if you guessed correctly but please stop pretending one of these designs looks “a lot older” that is disney adult behavior

The latest Disney movie is called Hexed, featuring a mother and a daughter, pictured here. I checked the plot on Wikipedia & it does not appear to involve a mother who took The Substance but maybe that’s an Act III twist

Just for fun I checked out the most recent Disney film to feature a boy the same age as the girl in Hexed (16). Here’s Ian from Onward, and his (step)dad.

Being marginally well known means people just make up an entire life & worldview for you. I’ve always found it interesting. It reminds me of how I used to play Barbies with my cousin when we were little. Adults aren’t allowed to play Barbies, so they do it with other humans they don’t actually know

Have I ever worried about people thinking I’m antisemitic? No. Did I ever worship the magicians Penn & Teller? No. It doesn’t matter! He’s playing Barbies.

While walking the dog yesterday I found a $100 bill on the ground. When I got home, I texted the neighbor whose house was closest & asked if she'd lost any cash. She replied saying "omg yes (husband) lost 4 $100 bills out of his back pocket earlier!" So I said "oh wrong amount" & blocked her

OK I didn't do that but I DID offer to drop it off on the next walk, today. On our way to her door, we found ANOTHER $100 BILL! She was stunned...they had been walking up and down the street for ages looking but only managed to find one. If I find the last one I'm taking out $10 for a lotto ticket
