Take a break from EVERYTHING and read this piece by Brian Koppelman (Ocean's 11, Rounders, Billions) about a TV exec hijacking his family's text thread: "A TV writer I know just wrote a memoir. And the fact checkers called because the good news is… I made the memoir! I’m in it!"

Y'all okay y'all. I am over here with y'all. Spread the word.

y'all's, I have been reading David Lipsky's new book, The Parrot and The Igloo, to get ready for a podcast, and I have to tell you this book is a marvel. The best non-fiction work I have read in an age. The opposite of a musty tome. Reads like a Concorde cutting the sky.

Wipe your books down w a 97.5 percent alcohol and arsenic solution but don’t cover your oxygen holes. K? Theeenx.

On reflection that whole: no need for masks just wash your hands thing might not really have been good government. Happy 4th!

Three best 4 July songs: aimee mann, dave alvin (c version), bruce springsteen.

It’s like if methadone was better than heroin. Right?

I’d have loved to work on Dusty Rhodes ascent in WWF/E and got him the belt.

Oh, here's a thing: Tomorrow on my podcast, The Moment, Matt Berninger of The National!

I am jazzed and geeked to be here.

Y'all, I think I am ready to rock right up here in this joint. What should we talk about? I know, ask me anything and I will answer, to the best of my and etc.
