I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

This woman's glee at the passing of Pope Francis is vile and reprehensible. She purports to be Christian, but this behavior is anything but. I would nominate her for Dante's 8th Ring of Hell.
