Lmao what (from today's Breaker newsletter)

(Exclusive.) Bari Weiss this week clocks up four weeks on the job as chief booker (sorry, editor-in-chief) of CBS News. Breaker hears that she has unimpressed staffers with a series of bold ideas in the 9 am call.

Last week, following the jewel heist at The Louvre, Weiss suggested they interview author Dan Brown. Staffers questioned what expertise in the matter Brown would provide CBS News viewers? Brown is well known as the bestselling author of the 2003 mystery novel, The Da Vinci Code, about a murder at The Louvre.

On Tuesday’s 9 am call, Weiss suggested a story about how people who are scared of climate change aren’t having children. “She is showing her worst self,” one CBS News journalist told Breaker. “People are running to avoid her.”

This is astonishingly corrupt. Why secretly pilfer government money when you can just openly take it?

A fun byproduct of unitary executive theory—if the president controls everyone under him, he can demand they transfer hundreds of millions in tax dollars into his bank account

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

I loved your poodleboys. Such an alluring mix of masculine and feminine, beauty and earthiness!

You could bring them back! The current crop of softboi actors could make great poodleboys.

Timothee Chalamet? Tom Holland? Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Ryan Gosling? Born poodleboys!

Might be fun to see Scoot this way…

Good Lord. I can’t believe someone did this to you!

Who is this asshole?

But I’m glad you were able to figure out who it was and take legal action. And definitely impressed you were able to Sherlock Holmes this shit all the way from the UK!

This is Manolo. His family invited strangers to spend time with him on his last day. His mom said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all

Yes, absolutely. I believe this is more the truth of the matter than anything. It's like the trade-off for years of unconditional love is having to punctuate it with utter heartbreak
