How far it has fallen from Ben Bradlee, Marty Baron and Katherine Graham. Makes my decision to unsubscribe from the @washingtonpost.com look even better.

In the meetings of heads of state at the White House yesterday, I thought my president did well. My DNA results say I’m 2% French, so I going with that, mes amis.

“Serious fatalities”? What’s the criterion for determining that a fatality is serious? Do better, @bostonglobe.com.

I wrote an email to the Irish Embassy urging the ambassador to withdraw from any participation in celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at the White House. The effort to cleanse Gaza of any Palestinians is completely at odds with the position of the Irish government. They need to be strong and consistent.

Having just read the public exchanges between Guy Pearce and Kevin Spacey, I have a question. L.A. Confidential is one of my favorite movies. Can AI just edit the film and replace Kevin Spacey with someone of similar age? Like George Clooney or Kevin Bacon?

After watching the SNL 50th, if you want to watch a real tribute to Sinead O’Connor, watch the Irish Women in Harmony’s cover. youtu.be/dm95G9ao2VQ?...

Trump told us that you only have to vote for him in 2024 and never again thereafter. He meant it.

Has Neville Schumer issued any more fierce press releases today?

If history teaches us anything, a crisis reveals who is a leader and who isn’t. The depth and breadth of the ineptitude and the cowardice of the Democratic leadership in Washington is staggering.

Watching my generation’s musicians at the FireAidLA concert is like watching Willie Mays play for the Mets in 1973.

I did not forecast a headline of “France to send troops to Greenland to block US expansion” as a possible event in 2025. Not sure if China or Russia is laughing harder.

This is a work by Ben Shahn. His artwork produced in the 1930s until his death in 1969 generally reflected a progressive, pro-civil rights, pro-immigrant and pro-labor perspective. This piece, produced in 1968, was entitled “Despair”. 1968 was a bad year. I fear 2025 will be far worse.

Why is Trump (or people in his circle) talking about building an American empire that includes (depending on the day) Greenland, Canada, Panama, Mexico? Here are five Trumpian logics explanations, all of which can function together, and probably do. snyder.substack.com/p/why-greenl...
