Here’s last night’s story about tipping, why it’s more complicated and fraught than you might realize, and how John is – shockingly – younger than David Beckham. We know. We didn’t believe it either, but we had our research team check several times and it’s somehow true. youtu.be/89R9ZxKaIOw

Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of a Black teen, and shuttered public clinics and schools. Cuomo covered up COVID nursing home deaths and harassed women. These men heard "now is the time of monsters" and decided to attempt a comeback. They both belong in hell.

While a lot about this current political moment is genuinely shocking, America is exactly what my Black Southern family has always said it was. It’s not exactly a comfort, but it is grounding.

Trump: I will pass an execut- Corporate America: Don’t say another word, pal! We’ll get rid of DEI. I think we actually have a couple of the old “No Coloreds” signs in the back. We’ll have those up by EOD.

Here’s last night’s story about the beginning of Donald Trump’s second term as well as some very upsetting statements about omelettes. You’ll see. youtu.be/cw0F8G4-dMw

One of the many things Succession got right is that in the end a foreign tech billionaire would become the real president while a homegrown fascist sits in the oval office and hands over the keys.

Excellent Code Switch episode, including reporting on Reagan's letters about declaring MLK day a holiday, saying rest assured, we are remembering the selective image of Dr. King. Special shout-out to @ryankenacts.bsky.social 's bit on how MLK is remembered - could be the trailer for her new book.

Update: The cats never jumped on the counter. One was too scared to socialize, and the other one never left my mom’s lap.

Bringing my two cats who love to jump on the counter to visit my “Can you believe people let their cats jump on the counter?” African American parents. Please keep me in your prayers.

Some of your posts about the United CEO are very funny. I simply cannot interact with them in anyway. Like I’m certain law enforcement is on their way to your home, but you got a good giggle out of me. Allegedly.

And this is why when everyone was saying Cynthia and Ariana were crying too much, I shut my ass up. I act like that 2 drinks in at the work function.

I’m sorry for the late email reply. If it’s helpful, I thought about it constantly for days. “I’ll email them tomorrow,” I recited every night like a Hail Mary or evening prayer. Begging for a salvation I could not type.

I saw the Godzilla King Kong movie in imax 4D and no longer feel the need to pursue a formal autism diagnosis. That should count. I know my testimony. At one point I reached for a seatbelt that wasn’t there. I was certain it was illegal to shake people like that without one.

I’m no political strategist but the words “no matter who” seems like a wild thing to put after the word “vote.” Voting is the act of choosing something that matters.

The hot coffee vendor at the market said he hopes the writers get a fair deal and the strike ends because he wants Last Week Tonight to come back. Getting to tell him that I write for the show was the most erotic thing that’s ever happened to me.
