Fareed Zakaria's CNN programming invites us all to ask the basic question: "Do you ever think about death?"

Grampa,

Will you tell us MORE about the once-great city of Chicago?

Tell us about when Henry Carrey was the hall of fame announcer for the Chicago Bears, and about Wally Payton, who played centerfield for those rascally scamps.

Just as a reminder (not sure who needs it, though)...

THIS is the guy Ezra Klein of the New York Times & Bari Weiss of Free Press (& soon very likely to be info gatekeeper of the CBS News division) think "practiced politics in exactly the the right way" & "was vital to the survival of our nation."

I was at a conf abt 40 yrs ago where Paul de Man (later shown to be a Nazi symp working a/g French resistance) was a featured speaker.

He was warm/polite—& went out of his way to hold a door open for me (a grad student).

I look back & say: "A nazi can be polite."

I d/n say: "That nazi was good."

Don Junior is, of course, on board for all this.

I am in my 60s and, like many of you on this app, I have lived in many places and have traveled all over the world.

And I've just gotta ask: Who fucking talks this way?

Oh no!!

Not a wheelie!

Those monsters. I wonder what gang colors are sorted out by choice of ATV.

This is a Hall of Fame level example of "Please don't report that I am angry or upset."

It also includes a 2025 version of: "Why oh why must they laugh at my mighty sword?

Who could have predicted in 1984 that this famous moment would fully reverse on itself 4 decades later?

The bipartisan infrastructure bill was a good piece of legislation—& only pickled leftists interpreted it as the admin's key effort to fight fascism.

The White House Comms Office should have featured multiple streams of cute animal videos for four years.

People love those.

The Daily Beast paying Chris ("Mad Bitch Beer" I'm so funny, right?) Cillizza is the tragic part of this story.

The best part though is the ratio on this posting (as of this moment):

Thanks for the very cool initiatives on health, Mr. HHS Secretary.

Now, can you make any recommendations on candy or fried dough?

My family is starving and I want them to have the best red licorice whips and donuts.

Please help. I fear for their lives.

The word "on" is doing some interesting work in Elon's tweet.

He's most likely using it to refer to "dependency."

And, so, there's some huge "I CAN QUIT ANYTIME!" energy packed inside.

So, yeah, sure Elon. What the heck, you might as well say you're completely sober.

I'm sorry, but this in Semafor.

Semafor is now indistinguishable from Axios & Politico, in their contempt for libs generally & actual Dem insiders (excluding, of course, the shills who worked for Dems once upon a time.

Simply put, I don't believe these claims.

Shit sourcing has become epidemic.

Pope Leo is making his position quite clear:

"Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long.
If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long."
