Think of all the terrible writing that has come before, you almost literally cannot be worse without trying!

I can’t get over how this quartz looked like a theater with a rapt audience. You never knows what’s happening inside rocks, lol.

I'm always perplexed by folks who say their name is pronounced like it's spelled. Like, I don't know if you've met words before, but

Oh, here's the Connor Storrie Joker thing, in case you haven't seen (it's WILD).

Ir's so weird to think that in, like, another universe, Connor Storrie got famous for being the Joker. Like, what?

One of my students saw I had a Janelle Monae tote bag in my office and declared to everybody that I "ate it up, no crumbs left," and I have never felt cooler, y'all.

the stock market is just astrology for people who won’t look at the stars

Like, grrrrl, I will sleep at a Motel 6, I will sleep in the backseat of my car in a rest stop, and you won't eat at a restaurant that has less than 4.8 stars on Yelp.

It's always so awkward when someone you'd never, ever want to travel with (for comfort-level reasons, not personality ones) repeatedly talks about doing road trips together.

Alysa Liu at 1:14 is the most relatable moment in this entire thing. "I can't even-- Can you believe--?!"

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.

It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

So many expressions of sympathy in the US are more about the giver dealing with their discomfort than actual sympathy.

The one thing Job's friends get right is just sitting with him for seven days and not saying a word.

I don't know you; I'm so sorry for what you've experienced.

I walked into Hot Topic looking for Heated Rivalry merch and all they had were the blueberry smoothie socks and I mean, what are you good for if not THIS, capitalism, COME ON

Spring Break is just long enough for me to revert to my natural sleep cycle (awake till 2 AM, sleep till 11 AM) right before classes start again.

oh god why can't I edit typos doesn't this technology exist yet

I was going to get so much done today but then Connor Storie did a Verizon commercial

Someone just thunk a plank of lead on me or something

It's not ridic to double up on weighted blankets, right? Or, like, triple?

"Have you been to a hockey game before?"
"Well, I'm Canadian, so--"

Apparently when I finally make a livable wage I have to PAY taxes? Geez. Anyone want to assure me this is going towards, like, things that make the world better?

#StarfleetAcademy 1x10 MAN, am I impressed with Reno's dedication to pedagogy. Masterful mentorship happening all around with these folks.

In the past three days, my Instagram algorithm has transformed showing me solely #HeatedRivalry memes, reels of Stark sibling reunions in #GameOfThrones, Tom Holland doing Lip Sync Battle, and people doing choreo to Shakira. This...is not bad, actually.

"I don't understand this."

Well, it was written to be read and understood by a sixth grader, chat, so you are in more trouble than you realize.

Wait, so do we call vids "edits" now? Is this a young people thing? Or is it just on social media?

Sometimes you march into your local watering hole, wail "something with whiskey," then slump into your usual seat.

guys, Connor Storrie's "Like a Prayer" reels are holding me hostage help
