- “If it’s still free to get in, I can deal with it being called ‘Lake Tahoe Presented by Salesforce.’”
- “Ugh. I knew President Newsom was too close to that intern.”
- “He got a 40K signing bonus? God, I need to look into firefighting.”
- “Did you see…Burning Man’s rebranding as a giant rain dance?”
- “They are really well connected. Someone let them put grass in both their yards.”
- “We’re on the waitlist to get into that tiny-home village under 580.”
- “We’ve been estranged ever since he married my Alexa.”
- “I won’t be able to get a ride. The cars are still on strike.”
- “Did you know Karl the Ash was once Karl the Fog?”
- “Elon’s murder is straight out of that old movie Ex Machina.”
- “Would you like privatized still water or sparkling?”
