Comedy peaked with that late night dog that was like “Mad About You is a great television show, Paul Reiser…FOR ME TO POOP ON” and everyone would laugh and cheer. “He said it,” they’d exclaim. “I thought he wouldn’t but then he did!”

When two people who both talk to themselves cross paths it is very chaotic. It’s like, look, you fucking circus freak, this supermarket ain’t big enough for the both of us.

One thing about Americans is that we’re more civilized than Europeans. A pedestrian just smiled and waved at me when I stopped at a stop sign as if to say “thanks for not running me over.” I do that too! Because we’re a polite people who appreciate even the small things.

My dog is so cute

If recycling is truly important enough then scientists should invent robots to sort our garbage for us. Asking 360 million Americans to sort their own garbage is inefficient. Give some Stanford grads $10B and tell them come up with a solution.

Every Resistance fantasy about Trump making himself a dictator for life requires people to make the monumentally insulting and unfounded jump to “law enforcement and military officers will do a coup”

I imagine that Dan Carlin and I have more or less the same issue-level opinions about Trump and that any differences are semantics, but like what is the action item for the “this is authoritarianism” crowd? Because if it’s “democrats should try to win in the midterms,” then i have good news for you: they are going to try to do that

My take on the DC crime thing is that though I am totally sympathetic to an argument that the coppers need to do better, I am extremely unconfident that the Trump administration will make it any better since they are hugely incompetent and unserious lol

It’s crazy to think about some of the stuff they had to deal with when the Soviet Union collapsed. For instance, a consumer debt market took like a decade to emerge because there was no way for banks to create risk profiles since no one had any credit history.

When McDonalds came to Moscow in 1990 the Canadians had to run a “smile school” for the employees because the depressed Soviets citizens were so unaccustomed to smiling.
