I never understand why we think the wives are not okay with it all. Of course they are! She’s been with him since law school—none of his BS is a surprise or problem for her

They updated the headline—now it says “does Alexa understand your toddler?” Kinda wish they kept the doodidoo in the headline, it’s way funnier that way

It’s clumsily phrased, but this headline is actually saying the exact opposite.
Frequent foe of conservatives=Mamdani
One of his biggest critics=Trump

Is this an ad? (joking!) I’m still going to have to go with a michter’s small batch bourbon. But I’ll give 40 creek a try next time I’m in Canada!

I was with you until you said whisky, unless we’re excluding bourbon in this scenario 😄

Brutal stuff. Definitely worth it, though, if it keeps me from getting cancer!

There are much worse things to be!

A night in with non-digital media and cocktails? Yes, please!

Nobody ever answered this question, but I think I just found the first book I’m going to look at!

I think I understand, deeply, what goes into this kind of sentence. Research, analysis, craft — this is a sentence where it all meets. This is just masterful.

My mind has been spinning the last few days as multiple crises of journalism converged—the Nuzzi book, Epstein’s emails revealing journalists hid information, Trump berating a reporter with no consequence—and it occurred to me they all stemmed from the same source: elite impunity.
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

Ugh, that’s the one I remember. Written by two women(?) profs at Yale, no less 😬
