Paul Newman, the first actor to play me on screen in the 1956 TV production of Bang the Drum Slowly. "From here on in, I rag nobody".
I understand this talented young man went on to have a pretty good acting career and to do some great philanthropic work.

We're far enough past the "Mad Men" finale to where they could do a one-off reunion movie that takes place in late 1983 in which Don, freelancing after many years of alcohol-related career setbacks, pitches head-of-creative Peggy Olson the Apple "1984" Super Bowl ad.

I realize we can’t have nice things in 2026 but I’m still gonna ask: can this *please* wipe out the Winklevii?

I still maintain that Bessent is the only member of this cabinet who isn’t an idiot, just craven, mendacious and amoral, but boy did he step in it here. Completely flustered and unprepared to spin Trump’s looting of taxpayer $’s.
GALLEGO: Let's say Trump wins that lawsuit. Where would that $10 billion come from?
BESSENT: It would come from Treasury
GALLEGO: So, taxpayers?
BESSENT: Yes. Part of the 44,000 whose returns were leaked
GALLEGO: They're not suing

Mackenzie Scott was right
New: Washington Post Executive Editor Matt Murray and HR Chief Wayne Connell tell employees to stay home for a zoom webinar ahead of “significant actions across the company.” Widely expected layoffs are scheduled to begin today.

Someone reminded him about this thing called “discovery”.
Q: Are you going to sue Trevor Noah?
TRUMP: Well, he said I spent time on Jeffrey Epstein's island. I didn't. He's a lightweight, this guy. I think he's terrible. I thought he did a terrible job at the Grammy's. Frankly, I think the DOJ should just say 'we have other things to do'

Warsh is a purely political animal who advocates for boosting the economy when the GOP is in power and hindering it when Democrats are in control. A hack. That’s why Trump picked him. He argued against cutting rates in response to the Great Recession because “inflation” but really because “Obama”

They’re only paying 50 bucks to spend 104 minutes being bored and miserable? Melania used to charge more than that 30 years ago.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
