On Trump’s indictment

What, you want that I should know why this altekaker thought it would be a good idea to sleep with a porn star and then give her money?

The Manhattan DA seems nice. Do you think he’s single? What. I just want you to find a nice man. Too bad you didn’t freeze your eggs like I told you.

On climate change

You think this is bad. You should have seen the winter in Bialystok when your great-grandfather had to walk to school in ten feet of snow, shoes too small. Then he escaped the Nazis by walking across Europe eating only potatoes. And he still started his own textile business after coming to the United States at fifteen.

That’s why you can now afford to be a freelance writer, living paycheck to paycheck.

No, it’s fine. We are happy to help.

On the protests in Paris and Israel

At least they are getting out there and meeting people. Would it kill you to go to a protest, maybe that science march? How are you going to meet anyone? You’re not getting any younger.
