Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

We should have a national quiet day, where everyone just shuts up for 24 hours

It upsets me that most Gen Z theatre kids have never watched Slings & Arrows.

Yall when the ai bubble bursts we’re gonna all be able to build sick gaming PCs real cheap!

Fuck restaurants that charge $13 for a regular burger and $20 for a plant based burger. Fuck you so much. If that’s really based on the cost difference of the patty, I shudder to think how shitty the real beef is that you’re using. You’re ripping off BOTH carnivores and vegans.

It's such a tell on all these people that they saw Epstein as the perfect embodiment of urbane decadence. He couldn't spell, he had little sex competitions with gutter misogynists, his interior design sense was awful, there is no evidence whatsoever that he was smart or funny

If Donald Trump is OK with Pam Bondi making him look *this* guilty, the Epstein Files must have lots of outrageously damning evidence about him.

From this point on, I'm forced to assume that every elected politician who does not immediately call for Trump's impeachment is in the Epstein files. Sorry. Just cutting the Gordian knot here, as one does during societal collapse.

Mitt Romney was apparently visited early by 3 ghosts.

Re: the RTO vs WFH vs hybrid debate: People are waking up and realizing that they need & DESERVE more time at home, too much time at the office has diminishing returns for productivity, & we’re all burned out! Why is no one discussing the obvious solution? Standardize the 4-day work week.

Secret Santas, but for Hanukkah: Secret Shlomos. 🕎

Fuck Times New Roman. Stupid modern shit. We need to return to this: illuminations. We need to return to the first letter on the page being a big picture.

John Cena being a coffee snob is my new favorite thing. youtube.com/shorts/mc2r_...

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

I agree that college students shouldn't be forced to study chemistry or economics (fake, doesn't matter) but they should be forced to study poetry and art (real, makes life worth living).

"there's a new serif in town"

Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

I feel like Tiny Desk Concert has created its own genre.

Who has made this 🤣

I can't afford eggs, my kid has the whooping cough, and the data center down the road has caused my electricity bill to triple. But at least the mascot for my town's high-school football team is still a drunk guy dressed up as an American Indian.

Put me on #subwaytakes I do not enjoy long walks on the beach and I can argue my case.

big bugs bunny getting elmer fudd to marry him vibes in the white house currently i see

If I never had to hear the phrase “at scale” again I would be very happy.

hello darkness my old friend

I keep getting instagram ads to join the military that are promoting the “great work-life balance” you enjoy in the service. Oh yeah, that’s what the US military is famous for! Great mental health outcomes, quality family time, 8 hours of sleep a night and paid summers off! Sign me up baby! 🇺🇸🫡

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social please stop vetoing bills that would protect trans rights.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

"Abolish ICE" is the compromise position. you're not allowed to talk about the actual position

Abolish ICE. Now. www.newsweek.com/ice-detentio...

It looks like we need military protection from ICE!

"When ICE grabbed Rodney, he was in the process of receiving new prosthetic legs. The detention centre is refusing to let him have a day pass to go get them, so his health is declining."

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Left: we want the Epstein files Right: we also want the Epstein files Trump: best I can do for you is the Amelia Earhart files

As soon as the governor signs this illegal bill, Missouri will be sued. I don't bluff and I usually win.

Destroy car dealerships and you save US democracy

Give us a word, you’re the dictionary man. Give us a word tonight.

Discoteuthis discus is a squid species that has been observed at most twice in its natural habitat. Both times we've seen, they have been doing weird poses. But because we have so few observations of this species, we have no idea if this is normal for them or not. #SQUIDtember

Tom Homan took a bag of cash from an undercover FBI agent the right way. by Ezra Klein

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Anyone notice how the characters on Dino Ranch never stop smiling when they’re talking? It’s starting to creep me out. They’re all like the Joker. Can my kid get obsessed with a different show already? 🦕🦖🤠🤡
