Hilarious comments from aggrieved childless people on this article. Why are childless people so angry without even the excuse of kids to annoy them? One of the great questions. nytimes.com/2025/06/25/opi…

Of all the flavors of cat food, the only one cats would realistically be able to bag in the wild is chicken. No cat’s reeling in a tuna. Why isn’t there mouse-flavored cat food?

It’s stupidly hard to pay with your PayPal balance. They clearly don’t want you to. Which is dumb. I’ve been a PayPal customer for 25 years and they’ve done nothing to earn my loyalty. I would have dropped my bank years ago if PayPal had their act together.

When it all goes wrong, as it already is, they will blame the Democrats

One of the greatest movie reviews ever nytimes.com/2009/06/05/mov…

philipgryan's tweet card. “Away We Go” is about the flight from adulthood, from engagement, from responsibility, even as it cleverly disguises itself as a search for all those things.

This is a great political environment for a Democrat to emerge as a viable 2028 candidate by saying it doing literally ANYTHING

Didn't most of America first hear of @roywoodjr through his prank phone calls at the radio station? None of these post-Daily Show profiles mention that, but that sh*t was viral 10, 15 years ago. They're not on his site anymore but a few are on YouTube. nytimes.com/2025/02/20/mag…

philipgryan's tweet card. Roy Wood Jr. performs in small clubs from Georgia to Wyoming, finding humor in the moments that leave us humbled and confused.

It's despicable that the NYT would publish this sane-washing of Trump. It was not an "opening bid." It was not 4D chess. He meant every word. nytimes.com/2025/02/06/wor…

philipgryan's tweet card. President Trump’s proposal to “own” Gaza and transfer its population elsewhere has stirred condemnation and sarcasm, but it is an opening bid and could disrupt a tired diplomatic paradigm.

You should never be in a room with police for more than an hour. If they read you your Miranda rights, you’re a suspect. Shut it down. Demand a lawyer. This is just some of the advice I got from a retired FBI Special Agent, and two renowned false confessions experts. /thread
