We're behind schedule — possibly because of a technical issue. Mangione and all of us in the audience are just sitting here while they try to figure it out.
A big "story" last month was that he'd be allowed to wear civilian clothing today. He's in a gray suit and light dress shirt, unshackled.

Scripts for Healthcare Professionals to help them STFU Friday:
Can neither confirm nor deny
I'm sorry, I'll need to check the validity of this ROI
I need my patient to confirm consent
What's the fax number again?
I don't know where I put that

This will end with Andreesen as an antipope, deposed by combined Lombard and Byzantine forces from his court in Menlo Park.
It's pretty funny how the Silicon Valley tech bros have all suddenly decided that the actual Pope is the villain in their little narrative. sfstandard.com/2025/11/10/m...
Marc Andreessen v. the pope: VC starts meme-war with Leo XIV
The venture capitalist quickly deleted his social media posts mocking the pontiff’s call to build moral AI.

I am so ready for Me Too, Chapter Two
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

Santa is patently Christian in that his mythos has developed out of the story of a Christian saint. But it's important for Christians to also recognize that red and green decorations are Christian, as is Rudolph the reindeer, and so are all those Christmas songs, even if they don't mention Jesus.
