What this Knicks team means to New York. Also: Quickies on therapy, soy boys, Geese, the moral arc of the universe, and much more. Last year, this mural outside Spike Leeā€™s film co. in Brooklyn paid tribute to the ANCESTORS. If youā€™ve lived this, you know what this current Knicks team means to New Yorkers. šŸ”” Donā€™t care about sports? Scroll down to the funny Quickies at the end. Good stuff there. Also: This newsletter is 100% AI-free. I write it myself, which takes time.

The supplements, the podcasts, the longevity bros, the psychedelics, the disorders, the GLP-1s...phew, it's a lot. I’ve got issues The body keeps the score. And lately, it feels like mine is tanking to get a better draft pick. I grind in my sleep which sounds kinky until you realize it’s my teeth. I’ve done therapy and meditation for years which is proof therapy and meditation don’t really work that well. I got into meditating at the right time.

Netflix did a Kevin Hart roast and the internet kinda lost its mind. So I decided to chime in in this video (above) and, in more detail, over at Funny How: Letters to a Young Comedian (my other newsletter all about standup) in this post: 12 thoughts on the Kevin Hart roast backlash. Something the roast backlash taught us is George Floyd is the Charlie Kirk of the left (and vice versa).

Uh oh: The Met Gala’s Embrace of Jeff Bezos Causes a Backlash. In Bezos, however, progressive protesters have seemingly found a perfect foil: a singular figurehead whose rightward political drift, $250 billion bankroll and anti-union efforts have made him an object of scorn on the left. Shocking to find out fashion has taken the side of the wealthy. Well, at least us poors will always have fine dining.

My whole timeline this week’s been about the WHCD dinner and Klay/Megan Thee Stallion. What they’ve got in common: Shooters gonna shoot. Of course, the real problem facing America right now is comedy. That’s why the President is demanding ABC fire Jimmy Kimmel for morbid jokes. Questions: Where my “make comedy legal” free speech comedians at? Does that count as being woke? Is he, gasp, a snowflake? Help me out, fellas.

Why is there so much friction between generations nowadays? One reason: Chronology is geography The past is like a foreign land. And the further we get from an era, the more foreign it seems. Old people, by default, have “traveled” through time more. They’re chronological globetrotters. And these seasoned travelers can’t help but view the young as provincial. “You’ve never been there.” It’s a data issue. Young folks simply don’t have the data.

This is NOT The Onion: Looking forward to him posting this soon: Jesus is WEAK on those who sin, and terrible for Immigration. He talks about "mercy," but doesn't mention the value of Vengeance. I don't want a messiah who criticizes RICH people while claiming the MEEK shall inherit the earth. Jesus should get his act together as son of god, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and stop healing all those lepers who are total LOSERS.

Live footage of podcasters fleeing the MAGA train: Candace is out. Megyn too. And Tucker Carlson thinks the President may be the Antichrist! A clip from Carlson’s podcast: And here’s another ghoul realizing he may have gotten conned by the Connander-in-Chief: “I could be a naive moron. But that’s not the only valid hypothesis.” -Naive morons And then there are the comedy bros.
