Eine Klein Late Night Music

Abundance adonis Ezra thought he was the Mozart of moderation, but Donald Giovanni's minions are playing him like a magic flute. And after last night's requiem for Jimmy Kimmel, we may all be descending into hell.

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."

The Wall Street Journal. The Guardian. All the other outlets who failed to confirm their reporting.

I want to see fewer cowardly, shrugging "editor's notes" on these stories and more statements of "wow, we really failed in our reporting on a grave matter, and here's how we're going to do better."

Majority of posts in my feed: Check out this cool bug/bird/random historical personage I found!

Small but vivid minority of posts: Do you think Gritty and Alf are in a polycule or nah?

I understand why they have to do it but it will never stop being bewildering to read a statement like, "Our hearts go out to the victims. We abhor violence in all its forms, and have immediately removed the perpetrator's Long John Silver'sยฎ Arrrewardsโ„ข account for violating our Terms & Conditions"
