Like I feel something, then I judge myself for it not being the correct feeling.

So I guess its a mix of brainstorming ideas that come from me noticing my own feelings.

A lot of comedians engage heavily with the news.

(Thats also why Im not great at capitalizing on memes.)

Anything you might think of as an absurd joke is actually probably happening.

The political comedy that I like nowadays is the stuff thats rooted in anger because it feels real.

But also, this is dumb because its from the point of view of someone who believes the brand.

What does your Twitter feed look like (i.e.

comedians, news, etc.

)?My Twitter feed is a lot of my pals Ive made online and comedians that I know.

I also follow the major news outlets and some political organizations Im a fan of, like IfNotNow.

It also tends to be a lot of irony and absurdism.

Me: I want validation but I also dont want to ask for it.

I want someone to have the thought independently.
