I'm going to miss Colbert, and can't wait for him to be back on the air. This moment will make him a martyr and a folk hero. He took one for the team and we will love him all the more for it.

Slotkin: While we are on the subject of Elon Musk, is there anyone in America who's comfortable with him and his gang using his own computer servers to poke to your tax returns, your health information, your bank accounts?

Elon did two Nazi Salutes.
He briskly extended his right arm at a 45 degree angle, and kept his palm and fingers in full alignment. That’s the textbook definition of a Nazi Salute, which he did twice.
If there were Nazi Salute Olympics, Elon would have taken the Gold Medal.

What a beautiful and apt description of Lynch's work.
It wasn't about weirdness for weirdness, for me, it was about the divinity-grade acceptance of + affection for the real contours of the world, human and otherwise, present in so much of Lynch's work: gruesome and cloying and piercingly beautiful and dumb, the whole mess, all that open-eyed curiosity
