“This is an insurrection… we need to leave the UN or we need to bomb it.” - Jesse Waters regarding the escalator & teleprompter not working for Trump. According to the AP, one of trumps team members ahead of him stopped the escalator & members of the White House team were in charge of the teleprompter. So…. Yea.

Being an artist is not a job, it’s a malfunction / Art is a way to survive, not a way to live. If I knew what I was doing, I would have stopped a long time ago. Sometimes the best idea is the one you’re too ashamed to say out loud. Failure is my favorite color. I don’t make art to communicate, I make it to escape. If you want to say something serious, wear a clown’s nose. I don’t believe in inspiration, I believe in good timing and better excuses. You don’t make a masterpiece, you survive one. Beauty is the perfect alibi. My goal is to vanish completely, leaving behind just a question mark. As long as you don’t choose, everything is possible. Being original is overrated, being precise is terrifying. Guilt is one of the purest materials an artist can use. Sometimes I wish I could copyright silence. If I believed in messages, I’d work in advertising. I don’t create meaning, I offer traps for it. Truth is not an ingredient, it’s the aftertaste. Every artwork is a loophole. You know it’s working when you start regretting it. If I wanted comfort, I’d buy furniture. The best artworks are mistakes no one dared to fix. A good work doesn’t ask for attention, it steals it. A banana on a wall is still more honest than most people I’ve met. The more you polish an idea, the less it cuts. If you can live without it, it wasn’t art. Conceptual art? All art is conceptual if you think long enough. I treat exhibitions like funerals: silent, awkward, and full of flowers. Success is just failure that forgot to stop. Every exhibition should feel like a crime scene. A good artwork should make the museum a little nervous. Every object is a hostage of its own interpretation. When in doubt, carve it in marble. I never trusted things that come with a label. The most radical gesture is to do nothing and make people talk about it. The less I explain, the more they write.

Hunky Appliances: Design Flaw

Are you an single bachelor or bachelorette looking to spice up your home and fill it with companionship, all without any need of true social interaction? Well we are happy to Introduce Hunky appliance. Our realistic bots are designed to replace all your boring appliances with 200% efficiency. We have models for any kind of chore, from cooking your food, cleaning your house, and much more. Visit our website to be the first in line to get this revolutionary product or call 1-XXX-XXXX to preorder yours today!

When I initially saw that ad, I jumped at the chance. I’m a pretty lonely guy, and I never made a real connection. So the proposition got me excited, I spent no time ordering my new appliance. The fact that you can’t fully customize the companion was a little disappointing, but the wide catalogue of hot models allowed me to find the 3rick model.

After what felt like an eternity of waiting my new android companion arrived and for awhile things were amazing! Not only was he a great time to look at, but he happily completed all the tasks in the house. From cooking, to laundry, all the stuff I couldn’t be bothered with he performed without any issue.

It was all great! Until it suddenly wasn’t. That hot summer day, nothing sounded better than take a nice dip in the pool. But when I went out that morning I found my neighbors dumb tree shed its leaves making it look like a swamp. Without thinking I asked Erick to clean it and he quickly complied. That’s when I found out these Hunky Appliance bits were not built for submerging in water! As soon as he touched down in the water, he started to spazz out and glitch! Sparks shot out of him like a fireworks display and his voice turned grainy and unnatural. Then suddenly he shut off, motionless floating there like a corpse.

It’s been a couple hours since and I’m worried I just lost my favorite appliance due to my dumb mistake. He’s out there in the backyard still, I’m hoping the sun and the rice I poured into his body will help soak up the excess water and he’ll be functional again. If you are thinking of investing in a hunky appliance, make sure to fully read the manual, especially the warnings on what not to do!

Had this story in my drafts for a good year now, finally finished it! Thanks @cutestabber for the idea!
