I think I need to buy something outlandish so I can jump quantum timelines or something like that.

I think I want to go to Portland. I can show up to a cafe and order a lavender vanilla matcha latte while dressed in a brown bear costume.

Not as a syrup! The vanilla balances it. You just need a splash.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

I love Al Pacino's crash outs in "Heat."

Yes, I would crash out if my spouse's lover was watching a program on my television set.

Absolutely. It's my cotdamn TV.

Those teeth would've been knocked into Jenga pieces.

I'm back on my bullshit and I'm watching "Heat" for the umpteenth time.

And again, I don't know why Robert De Niro's love interest is a white woman. Same goes for in "Casino."

He don't want them, chile.

Now fingers crossed that IWTV Season 3: The Vampire Lestat does well (by corporate overlords' standards) and there's a Season 4: The Queen of the Damned. With this showrunner/creative team, The Queen of the Damned would be an epic adaptation, I just know it.

Sheila Atim is playing Akasha in "Interview with a Vampire" and my mouth dropped.

We're getting a Black woman, playing the first vampire in all of existence.

And she's gonna kill it.

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

New: The WGAE, which represents some parts of CBS News including its social team, sent a note to members today advising its members not to respond to Weiss’ request for an email by next week. The union also said it asked CBS for more information about Weiss’ request.

This is why I could never run.

If I say my order, I'd lose the Jewish vote.

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.
