It’s never not wild to see how 60 MINUTES in Australia has more in common with A Current Affair than the original CBS show (though the Oz version still does some good reporting.) Check out the *very* loud trailer for its new season: youtu.be/GVDiY_WUuXo?...

“Along with food, Parikh said he is concerned about soda and claimed he always mixes it with alcohol ‘to sanitize it.’” This whole interview is bananas
This @hunterw.bsky.social story about his encounter with one of Trump's paranoid special agents is, in a word, gobsmacking. It includes a Ron Swanson reference that will make @kentremendous.bsky.social shake his head (at least.) If you don't already, support TPM talkingpointsmemo.com/news/meet-th...

The Survivor players' auction and fundraiser for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota ended today: they raised $28,368! 🙌
For the backstory, read my interview with its organizer, Owen Knight—who, last Monday, was surprised they'd almost reached $10K.

No, they didn’t sing the best lines or the MAGA edit…but I’m sorry—just getting the NFL to allow that song at all is a victory and subversive.

No Conan in the montage of Tonight Show hosts during that NBC100 ad is a choice (as is the lack of Letterman, though in fairness, they can’t include every big show, and Late Night isn’t Tonight)

happy Super Bowl Sunday! for all you commercials sickos, I make the case that this game's ad blitz will be to A.I. what 2022's was to crypto and 2000's was to the dot-com boom—with all attendant implications for our broader economy and the celebrity-promotion complex: slate.com/technology/2...

Seeing folks drag this post, asking how the WP could frame Bad Bunny’s performance as being about immigrants when he is American. But the post and story are about how his anti-ICE, pro-immigrant stance has angered (and divided) MAGA! It’s a good story; here’s a gift link to read it. wapo.st/4akbLdM

Meanwhile, CBS News, while yes, actually calling the video "racist," is nonetheless tonight giving much bigger play to this "scoop" that makes Trump look vaguely apologetic vs centering the outrage. Guessing Bari got this exclusive herself and gave it to a staffer www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-c...

Amazing the power Occupied Twitter still has on DC press. The top Democrat in the House posted an Insta video saying "F- Donald Trump," and it's still not making headlines or even many stories (Axios and Deadlines the ones I've found.) Instead, sites which quote Jeffries are using his OT statement
