I watched the final episode of TNG with my Marines at Camp Pendleton. Had to explain the competing timelines with pool balls rolling in opposite directions. We were big fans of the show and regularly discussed leadership lessons from the Captain. Thank you for your service. ;)

Dearest Media,
Stop repeating the narrative that Jimmy Kimmel was pulled for comments about Charlie Kirk. He was pulled for comments about MAGA. Quit taking press releases at face value and get back to reporting FACTS.
