One thing I'll say for this administration: it's got me scheduling more face-to-face lunch & coffee meetups than even before COVID, because I've got things on my mind I need to talk to people about and I'm not comfortable doing so in an electronic text-based format.

Ok, we need a new James Bond AND a new Archbishop of Canterbury, and pretty soon it'll be time for another new Willy Wonka and a new Doctor Who. We need to economise. They should all be amalgamated into a single new character called Archdoctor Bondwonka.

Screaming into the void

There it is

If they won't write it down, send them an email documenting their demands and being specific with what they wanted, so it's all documented. Bcc your personal email so it's off their servers too and you have a copy if it all disappears. And this applies to academia too where violations are starting

Our new Secretary of Defense is at work today. Let's hope he took an Uber.

Breaking News: The acting attorney general fired more than a dozen prosecutors who worked on criminal investigations into Donald Trump for the special counsel.

We spent the last four years writing about the high price of eggs under Biden. Now that they’ve reached an all-time high under Trump we’ve moved on to other topics.

Here’s the latest ep of my iHeartRadio/Cool Zone Media show Better Offline. I walk you through how Meta’s recent “right-wing turn” is actually the formalization of a years-long policy of profiting off of conservative propaganda and hate. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline

Thank you for speaking truth to power through love, Rev Mariann Edgar Budde. The kind, just people of this world see you and appreciate you.

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

extended video, he does it twice in both directions

This is probably a big part of why he did it, but I think a bigger reason is pure impunity. He knows the media that matters to him won't care, there will be no professional consequences, nothing will matter to anyone but the people he lives to anger.

"It was a Roman salute" is an updated version of "actually, the Buddhists also used swastikas." If you are using it post-1945, you know very well that the association has changed.

It's barely even begun and I'm already tired.

For those of you glued to the Hegseth confirmation and may have missed it, Nancy Mace screamed that she was a grown woman and then immediately challenged Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett to physically fight her… so there’s that. Mace continues to be an embarrassment.

Joe Rogan podcast appearance is a short signal. No pun intended.
