The sky is on fire and there’s some serious bowel destroyers going around, but follow these five tips and you won’t even notice everything you’ve known has evaporated because you’ll be TOO BUSY LIVING!

Do Cats Laugh?

The answer may surprise you. (It won’t: they don’t.) This week I’m biking through Brooklyn, doing comedy at a cat cafe, failing at growing marigolds, going to a makers mart, and crying about social media dying.

An All American Heat Wave

If you’re wondering how New Yorkers stay cool in a heat wave, it’s not that hard. Lots of popped water plugs and window AC units. We’ve got rooftops, too. I used to be able to see the Macy’s fireworks from my rooftop in Queens, but someone put a big ol’ building in the way. So now I mostly see the fireworks set off by amateurs up the street.

We’re Talking About Cleaning Up Here

I’m trying to actively participate instead of being all angsty teenager about it. Is that because I’m in my forties? Or am I just so bored that I’d unclog a public toilet?

Can’t Talk Right Now, I’m Busy Not Making Any Money

If you’re in New York and looking for stuff that’s free, hit the nice neighborhoods toward the end of the month on trash night. Watch out for bedbugs. But seriously, folks. I’m not advocating we all become trash-pickers, but ain’t no shame keeping things out of the landfill.

Generative A.I. Hurts My Soul

It’s another vlog, but hopefully the headline and thumbnail are OUTRAGEOUS enough for you to click. I’m trying to find a use for Gen AI video, but I just can’t. It’s great at making really generic stuff, and it costs money. I can make generic stuff for free.
