Just straight up Bugs Bunnyied a carrot. Ate it with a little green on the end. Crunched it with the side of my mouth. Docs were asked what’s up.

I HAVE BEEN SUBSIDIZING WALMART AND AMAZON STARVING THEIR EMPLOYEES FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE.
Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

If they don’t have shame, then guilt will have to do.

The alphabet was original in QWERTY order, but unfortunately the song was notoriously difficult to sing. Only a handful of countertenors have ever dared to try.
Been snacking on this for one half hour and still cannot tell if I like it at all.
Ok, but have you seen my quarter three budget spreadsheet in 70mm IMAX?
NYC during COVID was terrifying. 1000 people a day were dying, constant sirens, refrigerator trucks for bodies. PPE was elusive, ventilators sent to Putin—the Federal government had abandoned the country. Then the vaccine arrived; we wept when my wife, with chronic conditions, got an appointment.

When I’m paying closer attention to my diet, I’ll eat just one novel for lunch and then have a sensible dinner (a book of poems or a couple of plays).
Fella at the gym offered to help me with my form and showed me how to adjust my spine so that I'm no longer burdened by the weight of all the lives that I've left unlived.

Heard the feathered hum start up this morning.
sometimes, if you’re up early enough, you can hear them turn the birds on
There’s a guy at the farmers market who will read your tomato’s aura for a quarter
AMERICAN TIME-LOOP PROTAGONIST: I’ll steal all the money and seduce everyone until I learn to be less selfish DANISH TIME-LOOP PROTAGONIST: I am a monster, a thief, a devourer, utterly alone

She Said God But She Meant Silver — Ghost Parachute

My protein powder says KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN because if the children start locking in their gains, they will eventually punish us for what we have left them.
