Former lawyer, current writer. Stories in @Cirsova Winter '23, Summer '24. Won a Watty once, but don't hold that against me. Grouchy but sort of an optimist.

If successful, CNN's paid subscription tiers will reorient the company's business over time, making it less reliant on cable subscriber $$$ and giving it more direct relationships with news viewers and readers.

I want to know what sinister powers are so invested in maintaining this idiotic ritual of moving the clocks twice a year so we can hunt them down and kill them.

I suppose I'm like a horse-and-buggy stalwart giving those newfangled combustion-driven automobiles the stinkeye, but I will never get in one of these fucking things.

The common thread running through all NeverTrumpers is a complete inability to read the moment. Obama's time has passed; the zeitgeist has irrevocably changed; yet a primal jellybrain like Joe Walsh thinks somehow he can drag the clock back to 2009.
At this point, Barack Obama should come out and publicly say he’d love to be President again and he hasn’t ruled out running for a third term. I’m serious. My fellow Democrats, either fight or go home.

As far as I can tell the only people who screeched at black people on the screen was the Chinese audience, to whose preferences Disney immediately acquiesced by turning their most prominent black character into a joke.
Hot take, but the people who claim Star Wars is dead are the same people who killed it. Maybe if you didn’t screech at the presence of Black characters on your screen, or bitch and moan at sharing spaces with women, creativity wouldn’t be stifled. This is literally your fault.

"Bill Gates is a crooked scumbag who sincerely believes he's above the law." Ah, 1990s headlines, how I've missed you.
BREAKING: Senate Judiciary is investigating the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for funneling millions of dollars to Chinese PLA fronts in violation of IRS rules against charities funding foreign governments under Foundation's 501(c)(3) nonprofit charter https://t.co/jmeLnlZEuT

although I guess it's the Lucy Mancini stuff that's *truly* unnecessary. I don't like to think about it.

The S1 to S2 decline in quality is rivalled only by that between Jaws and Jaws: The Revenge.
Name a TV Show that started off promisingly but dropped in quality every season.

This is an interview that should inspire some follow-up reporting: how was KJP hired for her job in the first place?

Beware of people telling you that “these are dark times.” They are invested in you believing this. They are counting on financially profiting off you hating life. They are not your friends. Live it up. There’s a reason you’re here right now.

Whatever last shred of a claim NYC had as a source of counsel and expertise for the rest of the country will be gone in a few days. Utterly gone. It's wild, actually. Like watching one of those 80s televangelists get caught in a motel with hookers. Secular version.

It's Randall Munroe, the walking exemplar of the idea that you can be a literal rocket scientist and still know diddly squat about the human condition.
Every one of these people were right and they got more and more right as time went on. The decline has been steady and conspicuous.

Some agency somewhere should arrest Wiener for *something*, because there is no way that dude isn't guilty of stuff that would put him *under* the jail.
NYT magazine story out today makes clear that this law Scott Wiener championed made it much easier for human traffickers to pimp out teen girls
