My unpopular opinion of the day: you should not interrupt a religious service to protest. I don’t care how heinous the views of the congregation or religious leader. That said, the First Amendment should protect any journalist covering the protest.

There are so many talented artists recording right now. Music faces the same headwinds that the movie business struggles with, and yet the music business still seems alive and exciting while the film business seems dead.

The Democrats should announce that any contractors, architects, engineers or suppliers who work on this project should expect to appear,under oath, at congressional hearings in 2027.
Q: Do you plan on tearing the Kennedy Center down and how much will all of the renovations cost?
TRUMP: Probably around $200 million. I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.

There were a lot of amazing performances at the Grammys last night, but I most admire Justin Bieber for putting himself out there literally and figuratively. That took a lot of guts.

By most accounts it was almost certainly one (or maybe two) Supreme Court justices who leaked the abortion decision. Are they required to sign NDAs?
Jodi Kantor in the NY Times reports that the Chief Justice requested Court employees sign nondisclosure agreements in November 2024 - moving to formal contracts requiring silence/confidentiality after Trump was reelected: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

I was in an auto accident several days ago. The other driver was at fault. My car rolled over on its side and was totaled. I’ll spare you the details, but I definitely 100% expected to die. Fortunately I escaped with just a mild concussion. But it’s true something like that really makes you think.

We ordered KFC from Uber Eats last night while we watched the Grammys. The food and sales tax totaled $36.81, while the fees and tip (minus a small discount) came to $23.86. I’m not especially price sensitive but WOW that’s a lot. 1/
