For my son’s 18th birthday, I wrote what I’d always wanted to hear from my own father, “I’m so pleased by what I see as you’ve come into your own, and very proud to have been a small part of it. I love you.” He pocketed the cash and threw the card away. I’m a needy sponge.

Please tell me your most controversial movie opinions.

During pandemic lockdowns, I lost touch with so many acquaintances. People I saw weekly, quarterly, occasionally -moved, died, are too far immersed in their new lives. If only the were some sort of #AdultFriendFinder to fill the void. The internet is no help.

Watching Oregonians rediscover how to pump their own gas is like watching a baby master a #BusyBoard

I was married for a couple years in my twenties, what I believe are commonly called the #TerribleTwos

I grew up with several #Trans. In fact, Vu and Vo Tran were my best friends in grade school and we traded many Star Wars action figures and watched movies together frequently.

Um, excuse me. I’m not a boomer. I’m #GenX. We’re the generation who refined British snide and valley girl doy into #90s snark, #00s disaffectation and 10s & 20s “oops, I forgot to invest or believe in anything.”

My least favorite dating website is @LinkedIn, because it’s like “You think you have a committed relationship, but you should check out the competition. Employers are dawgs.” Then when I need a job it’s “you’re too broke and hungry. Why don’t you start your own damn business?”

New stand-up opener, “Hello, tonight I will be performing a comedy set authored entirely by #ChatGPT. These are not the first jokes written by #Artificial_Intelligence. That distinction goes to the cringey witticisms of Jeff Dunham’s Jalapeño on a Stick.”

I attended Booker T. Washington high school, so when I see texts with BTW reminders, I think, “Yeah! Go hornets!”

Since quarantine, I’ve met quite a few new people wearing COVID masks. Later, when I spy their entire faces, I’m surprised. I imagined the lower facial features all wrong! Everyone’s face is so much shorter. They’re a bunch of munchkins!

@ShittingtonUK I want to donate a box of old religious literature to be gleaned for #clipart and repurposed as pages of #Craphound. Attempted to get your contact through Seth Friedman and @LandPDX

@SparksBrothers reminds viewers that a career in arts can demand tenacity and a mercenary antipathy for collaborators, partners and bandmates to soldier through 50 yrs, 18+ albums and countless live performances. Wow, congrats, @EdgarWright and @SparksOfficial #moviereview

During pandemic quarantine I became such an alcoholic. I was slathering it on my hands, spraying it on my countertops, pumping it into my gas tank. And I heard you can also ingest ethanol as a beverage.

it's a sigh of relief I am off the hook of the expectation I'd grow up to be something.
I can just produce for the love of doing it instead of to be celebrated or famous.
It's good timing to give next gen a leg up instead of bemoaning I haven't been "discovered" or "recognized”

I’m a white man. I know, gross, right? As such I stand on the precipice of a profound opportunity to shut the hell up. All my life I’ve felt the unfulfilled onus to formulate statements. Society has extended permission to do no harm and keep opinions to myself
