The thing Jesus really would've liked would be the guy that plays the kettle drums in the orchestra. I've watched that guy since I was about eight years old. My brother Allie and I, if we were with our parents and all, we used to move our seats and go way down so we could watch him. He's the best drummer I ever saw. He only gets a chance to bang them a couple of times during a whole piece, but he never looks bored when he isn't doing it. Then when he does bang them, he does it so nice and sweet, with this nervous expression on his face.

I can think of places to sit for a better view.

They're just trying to distract us from the Epstein files.

Obviously, your favorite novel doesn’t include a scene where the main character singles out the tympanist as the only good part of the show.

These ideas are mostly dead now. They've been replaced by likes and clicks and views and other vapid reasons. We're not serious. We're a culture of memes

That's here. That's home. That's us. A mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
