On my 8th grade trip to DC I threw up on the bus and wasn’t allowed to go into the museums.

If you are in any way making an effort to fight back against the heightened lack of kindness and empathy we are experiencing, no matter how small, I love you and you are my hero. Kindness fills chasms.

Potentially scorching take but I think it’s dumb to be salty that they didn’t call it “Spaceballs II: The Search for More Money”. It wouldn’t add anything, it would just be telling the same joke again. Let them write new jokes! Everybody *will* call it “the new one”! That’s a funny bit!

One time in college I called a friend and told him that John Lennon had just died in a plane crash and he got really mad and felt the need to explain to me that this wasn’t true. I think he invented the internet that night.

We did an Amazon Wish List Secret Santa at work and they wanted us to do a video meeting for everyone to open their packages one by one on Teams. If I’d known that was the plan I wouldn’t have signed up. This is what I got, which I had to hold up to the camera. Joke’s on me for having it on my list.
