Just watched @rickygervais opening for some dumb award show. Not only did he kill it, but if you watch the stars in the audience to see who laughs or doesn't, you can tell who the douchebags really are. #MostAre #GoldenGlobes.

People realizing they can work from home, little traffic, emptying jails, limiting waste, talking rather than texting or not having to talk at all. Organizing that fucked up tupperware cabinet. Trusting science over "leaders." Hopefully some of this sticks when it's all over.

I think about all the civil liberties that you are denied that I have yelled about over 30 yrs of comedy and sit dumbfounded that the one you finally get up in arms about is voluntarily wearing a mask over your stupid mouths. Start with the wrongly accused and work backward.

Read @nytimes article about legal/illegal evictions during pandemic. I'm a landlord too and told tenant in March no need for rent for duration of virus. Because it won't hurt me and it's the right thing to do, not because of some mandate. No landlord is living hand to mouth.

I don't know how many Parkland victim families were in attendance at the bootlegged Louis CK show in question. None or less, I'm guessing. So who made them outraged? Like you telling your co-worker that Bob from HR said she's ugly. Who is the one that hurt her feelings? Bob?.

On Nov 26th, 1980, at age 13, I got drunk and smoked cigarettes for the first time and have pretty much not slowed down for 40 years. So, yesterday Nov 27th I began the 1st of 40 days smoke-free and sober. Which I realize was a terrible idea save for not having to talk. #40For40.

The only way to save pro sports with no crowd on TV is to have two Roast Battle level comedians as announcers, each overtly partisan for their own team. Name the comic that should announce their team.
