I hear you. I'm with you, too. And I'm a New Yorker. I'm gay. My instinct is always to say, fuck you, even to think who agrees with me. I mean, I made a career out of saying, fuck you and storming off when someone didn't agree with me. And so I don't know. I think we need to take a deep breath and take it a day at a time, I guess. I don't know. I sound like some, like, two-bit therapist.

or it's not even panic, it's really sadness, is that when you see Trump's numbers ticking up in New York City, which happened this time, I don't want to see things moving in that direction. That I know. So at the very least, we need to keep our bubbles secure. Because that's all I have. And I know you guys don't live in the bubble, which makes me admire you so much. I could never do it.

They even have gifts that are far enough in advance to send a card. We're in 2025. The fact that there are still envelopes and stamps is ridiculous. Um, but I do love Christmas. I love the holidays. I was a Jewish kid in New York City. My parents let me and we were not religious at all. They had to beg me to get bar mitzvahed.

You know, I didn't even I told them I didn't believe in God when I was 11 years old. But like... I only got bar mitzvahed for the party, which had a Madonna slash Broadway theme. I love it. Because I couldn't decide, which I like more. That's a true story. But the one thing they wouldn't let me do because we were technically Jewish is have a Christmas tree and kind of do Christmas.
