My White House Correspondents Dinner With Andre

some apparent background

THE WHCA DINNER WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES

Wait, the WHCA circle-jerk is actually being held at the Hinckley Hilton?

The taxpayers will not be responsible for paying for Trump’s tacky new ballroom. They will just be responsible for paying exorbitant above-market no-bid contracts to the people building the ballroom, which is totally different www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/04/kick...

On social media, there is a near-perfect overlap between people who accuse other factions of disdaining structural analysis and people who think it's a matter of existential importance precisely how far to the left to the median vote of Congress the Democratic presidential nominee is

That was my first thought - A $60,000 vehicle running over a $250,000 vehicle in the parking lot of the store where you buy six dollar slacks says…something

If Anthony Munoz wanted to get outs before giving up runs I would be supportive of that project

Also a man gets used to anything as the great Russian novelists point out, but we really shouldn’t get used to the absurdity of Jared Kushner being the chief negotiator for the United States in this or any other situation, but especially this one www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/04/art-...

Goldberg is identifying the real Trump Derangement Syndrome, which is the genuinely deranged idea that the current version of Trump is in any respect different from what the man has always been www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/04/look...

All the "free speech" folks from the last fifteen years have taken the position: "This is bad, but it's the fault of the left for going too far."

Nothing says “we support the troops” like sending them off to war on a Spirit flight….

MONTREAL/HUDSON VALLEY LEGEND

I've pulled back on my social media habit to try and give my sanity a break, but yesterday I saw a clip of RFK Jr. being grilled over statements blasting Medicaid paying relatives of disabled individuals to serve as direct care providers. A quick search indicated Oz has railed against this too. 1/x

Eunice Kennedy Shriver devoted her life to empowering and celebrating the achievements of individuals with disabilities. He is a disgrace.

THIS is fucking backbone and judges using the rule of law to fight corruption.

It’s a great article, but the headline is wrong. It’s not that he doesn’t get it, it’s that he’s a eugenicist

"they have more stuff in the basement" implies "all this shit is interchangeable," which, my eagle eyed readers will recognize, is both the attitude of a uncultured boor, and also the attitude of 19th century tomb raiders pilfering cultural treasures in the colonies

So, is cherry picking a single study by a visiting fellow at a center attached to a university and using it to bash "the rigor bar at universities" the sort of rigorous inquiry that we should emulate?

Their appeal is becoming more selective www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/04/thei...

See, if you rob all of the Delacroix paintings from the Louvre so some asshole can buy them and keep them in his attic, you're not ACTUALLY depriving the public of anything because they have some other stuff in storage. Where is this puerile bullshit coming from

Is this the personal liberties or the free markets

"I was very busy raising kids so I, uh, gave money to Laura Loomer" can't see any holes in that story

Atlantic writer sued by Kash Patel says she’s been ‘inundated’ with new sources corroborating her reporting

so the insiders want us to believe: mcvay wanted ty simpson, but they also really think stafford can be healthy beyond next season, so they drafted simpson who ideally won't play until 2028. when he only has fifteen starts in college.

An entire generation of pundits and contrarians made this their pet issue and now that it is happening at a level never seen before, it’s just:

fuuuuuuck

Periodic reminder that our public health policy is being managed by the crunchy granola version of the Khmer Rouge.

works for me, feel free to never vote again

if you're a Republican acting shocked and aghast about leftist dipshits circlejerking about stealing from Whole Foods while the President loots the US Treasury for billions of dollars you should probably shut the fuck up forever

i really believe that even something like goop should be shamed out of the public sphere

I feel like the skeleton key to all things Meta is.. because Zuck hasn't had any good ideas or innovations for what, almost 15 years now? He's just bought other people's good ideas.

A great colloquy with many sparks squeezed between @paranoiacs.bsky.social and the incomparable Graham Parker. Just like in travel brochures! www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/04/im-a...

Sean McVay watching Ty Simpson film at 4 a.m.

Inside Palantir, people are finally waking up to the fact that they might actually be the bad guys Great reporting once again from @makenakelly.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/palant...

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

hard to think of a more embarrassing conundrum or one that is less sympathetic. hard to think of anything as undignified as the White House Correspondents Dinner, the event the Beltway press deserve

I mean, sure. Kyle Shanahan is also a great coach, and that doesn't mean that Trey Lance could play

Drafting Simpson in the first round is like drafting my grandmother's speciality dinner, "completely unseasoned pork chops cooked ultra well-done with no sauce and boiled potatoes with margarine" as your last meal

Trying to balance the near-superstitious level of respect for McVay and Snead a Seahawks fan has to have with a relieved "what the fuck?" and after a couple minutes the latter is still winning

No dignity left to lose www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/04/no-d...

Alex Jones yesterday, April 22nd of 2026, is once again saying the Sandy Hook massacre was a false flag done by "professional shooters." It is imperative we take over that studio as soon as possible.

Trump take vacation www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/04/trum...

If Republicans have had a belated realization that gerrymandering is bad, they should work with Dems to ban it entirely. I suspect though that they think it’s just bad when it happens to them. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
