not necessarily my favorite of all time or anything, but ever since reading her book Little Weirds I’m obsessed with all things Jenny — the special is really charismatic and sentimental and introspective while also being genuinely funny

watching ‘new in town’ with my sister who has never seen any of his specials. his cadence and ability to see the ridiculousness in everyday life is so special to me. still haven’t watched ‘baby J’

The sheer amount of standup specials, YouTube/IG/TikTok stars, etc. oversaturate our brains, and I think it dilutes our experience. This is surely true of music for me lately - I need breaks from new things pretty often. I think another symptom of it being so abundant is the more you've seen, the harder it is to be surprised by new styles and personalities. I've been a life-long standup fan for as long as I can remember, and gimmicks and fads have always been a thing. But still, every year, something new grabs my attention. It just takes some digging to find the people that tell the kind of stories that make you laugh. Here are some ones I really liked recently:
Kyle Kinane - Dirt Nap
Jacqueline Novak - Get On Your Knees
Sheng Wang - Sweet & Juicy
Brian Simpson - Live From The Mothership
Chris Fleming - Hell (As mentioned in other responses, just the best kind of weird)
Taylor Tomlinson - Look At You
Nate Bargatze (any of his many on Netflix)

i’m of the recent mindset that intentional and deep sensory relaxation is the band aid for living in 2025 — intentional is my new favorite word and i love the idea that spending time focusing on myself allows me to be more open & generous & kind with/to others and i can be more giving to everyone around me. everything feels so divisive rn so im really trying to center community and care for the world around me. nice products that smell good is key, so is taking the time to really massage and pinch the geography of your body. essential oils, sunset lamp, full glass of ice water, real blunt ………. truly the key to life lol !!!
