I’m sure there is an SNL skit to be made about being the intimacy coordinator for Heated Rivalry.

Last night I followed a pickup for a removal company with the exceptional tagline β€œWe will grab your junk!”

A fatal flaw and the height of hubris: thinking you can wing an interview without any prep or a strategy conversation with your communications people. Why have them if you clearly don't think you need their input? A politician who bothered to prepare wouldn't say anything this foolish.

I know it wasn't an explicit campaign promise but: Zohran is elected mayor and Chanel takes over the subways.

We lost so, so much with each death. Such a talent taken far too soon.

OK. Think of a conversation you had with a friend or family member that just had an MRI. Did they have a vague idea of what was being scanned and why? Were they unaware of the results?

No, they knew every detail...and so does Trump. The results are bad enough that he's needs to lie about it.

Chicago Tylenol murders - Wikipedia

In 1982 someone tampered with Tylenol bottles in Chicago and every single bottle of Tylenol was immediately removed from the nation's shelves, during the Reagan presidency. Today, an AI bot coaches a kid into committing suicide and it's crickets. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago...

19 year old freshman just wants to go home for Thanksgiving to see her family, she gets deported to Honduras.

Former President of Honduras who’s serving 45 years in prison for drug trafficking?

He gets a full presidential pardon.

Both are Honduran. Only one is a criminal.

The good lord gave me the soul of a theater kid, but not the voice of one--and that is my burden to bear.

They might be more fun for a party of four rather than - say - fifteen.

[August 29th, 1980] Patti LuPone, star of the Broadway musical "Evita," sings pop songs at a New York nightclub called Les Mouches after her shows. Despite concerns that it strains her voice, LuPone says it has actually made her stronger.
