There isn’t “martial law” in the Constitution or legislation, and the states control the voting. He dangles the Insurrection Act as a threat, but if he thought it would help him, he would have done it already.

Michele's 2026 Tennis Predictions Podcast Episode · Perfect Match? · 01/08/2026 · 36m

Happy New Year! Wait it's too late to say "Happy New Year". Everyone stop saying "Happy New Year". But it's Tennis New Year in the lead up to the Australian Open, and Michele has predictions for the 2026 Tennis Season. Good to be back podcasting 🎾

2025 Wrap Up: Good Riddance 2025! Podcast Episode · Perfect Match? · 12/23/2025 · 34m

Let’s face it: 2025 sucked. But we had tennis and it both provided escape and brought the pain (Trump at the US Open final, for example). So we did a wrap up episode. Happy holidays and happy new year! #tennisky podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

How Rob Reiner became anti-Prop. 8 kingpin Rob Reiner reflects on the critical role he played in getting California's gay marriage ban overturned.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

YouTube video by DuttonGotham James Lipton INSIDE

The "American Canto" audio excerpt, in a roundabout sort of way, reminded me of my all-time favorite ad for a book, James Lipton's video promoting his memoir of hosting "Inside the Actors Studio". If you've never seen it, buckle up.

I live in one of those rare NYC apartments. It’s amazing to actually control the temp in your apartment, but any interruption to gas *or electricity* means no heat 🥶

Sure…but I did manage to debug my Sonos issue last night in a couple of hours using GPT. The last major issue I had required weeks of googling message board posts, support calls, a *home visit* from a technician. Attaching screenshots and real time testing is way way better.

A screenshot of Anand Giridharadas’ op-ed:

“Shaming the public as rubes for succumbing to conspiracy theories misses what people are trying to tell us: They no longer feel included in the work of choosing their future. On matters small and big, from the price of eggs to whether the sexual abuse of children matters, what they sense is a sneering indifference. And a knack for looking away.”

It’s notable that there’s practically no difference between what Elon Musk and MAGA influencers like Tim Pool post unironically and what Russian & Chinese bots trying to destabilize American democracy by posting divisive content do.

The Olivia Nuzzi Comeback Is Everything Wrong With Modern Media Olivia Nuzzi’s comeback isn’t a personal scandal story—it’s proof that today’s media rewards access, personality, and controversy more than ethics.

"She’s not trying to rebuild her reputation as a journalist—she’s building a different kind of brand entirely, one where being interesting matters more than being ethical, where attention is the only currency that still spends."

The best thing I have read about her. www.mediaite.com/opinion/the-...

So, I need to make sure certain people, men in particular, to understand that:

1) knowing the age of consent in ANY state
2) mentioning someone’s age IN YEARS AND MONTHS

means that you’ve not only lost the argument, but also that you cannot be trusted. Folks around you will adjust accordingly.

Yes, his politics boil down to "let's try to use government to make people's lives a little bit better", and (mostly wealthy) Americans are like "he and his ideology must be stopped at all cost!"
