Losing my mind at this Murder, She Wrote promo

Not a surprise, all things considered

Was she Damien’s doctor?

The phone used to call Mitch McConnell.

Spoke to my friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He's still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes ... about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a little bit of Senate history

Was hoping for this after his turn with @benmank77.bsky.social last year- huzzah for @thehorrormaster.bsky.social curating some of his favorite horror films

BREAKING: Serena Williams is forced to withdraw from doubles with Venus Williams at Wimbledon. 💔

This interview in Vanity Fair came out in 2010, and this exchange from it has lived rent-free in my head ever since.

Why isn’t this bigger news

Our history of why we can’t have nice things

Something something tree of Liberty refreshed with the blood of patriots

Just here to post this again like I do every year, not only because Douglass was one of the founding philosophers of American liberty but because I am so moved by the kids Frederick Douglass’ descendants deliver “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July”

Here's my full interview with CNBC, covering my bear case against generative AI, OpenAI's questionable finances, AI's lack of ROI, and how all of this is a symptom of the tech industry running out of hypergrowth ideas. It's great to see the mainstream media discussing this. youtu.be/TtmPccUTDP8?...

this legitimately made me tear up. a tremendous public servant!

New York City residents are celebrating the reopening of public pools — including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who jumped into the water while wearing a suit at an East Harlem pool on Saturday. Outdoor public pools will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day through Sept. 13.

This week, Gen. Chris Donahue resigned as top U.S. Army commander in Europe under pressure from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The four-star general was the latest victim of Hegseth’s purging of the Army’s combat-tested leadership. Read: bit.ly/4viITLH
