Matteo Bocelli on the Rao's spaghetti sauce float is making me scream with laughter ... which I realize was not the intended purpose. But props to the dancers for putting their all into this salute to Italian American Mid Culture.

I want to start a letter writing campaign to make Bowen and Matt the hosts of the Macy's #ThanksgivingDayParade. It's time for a generational change.

Market Basket was lit just now. The most important shopping evening of the year and the whole place is chock full of people who have never been to Market Basket before, who may have never once seen groceries.

I have bathed in the luscious bedlam and come out the other side warshed pure of my sins.

Peak privilege here … how many students are stuck on campus because it’s too expensive to travel home and are getting a “boxed dinner” if anything at all?

I need to be clear. If Jonathan Bailey were selected to be a baker on the Great British Christmas Baking Show, you would have to hospitalize me.

Pete Hegseth is right: Mark Kelly shouldn't be a senator.

He should take Hegseth's job and be SECDEF.

I'll be on MSNOW at 4pm to talk more about it.

The volume of water needed to cool the servers in data centers has become a nationwide resource issue.

Volume isn’t the most pressing problem in Morrow County, however. The issue is pollution, which Amazon’s data centers have exacerbated since its arrival.

While I agree that taking one’s shoes off on a plane is next level gross and disrespectful. This guy is wildly unqualified for his job.
Duffy on his demand that air travelers not wear slippers or pajamas: "It honors our country ... don't take your shoes off and put your feet on the chair ahead of you"

Sean is an old friend. Dana is the best. Dana and Sean are the best. Dana is beyond talented, funny, smart, all the lethal weapons for media folk … she is going to do better things, and I hope she will be a voice where media is suffering for strong leadership.
A short note on Dana Jacobson.

Who for a decade was one of my favorites at ESPN.

Then left and just killed it at everything CBS has…Evening News, March Madness, NFL Today and of course, anchoring CBS Saturday to its all-time peak.

And somewhere in there, found the time to marry me...

Reporter: Are you affirming that you think the president is a fascist?

Trump: Just say yes, it's easier than explaining.

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

20 Nov 2025 -- Final iteration of HHS pseudoscience report on care exposes authors: a Who's Who of anti-trans quacks and activists: Leor Sapir (Manhattan Institute), Evgenia Abbruzzes (hate-group SEGM founder), Michael Laidlaw (ADF), Yuan Zhang (SEGM associate) etc. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Trump's Anti-Trans Report Authors Revealed: Hate Groups and Billionaire-Funded Anti-Trans Activists
The majority of the “expert” comments cited in the “peer review” seem to be just as ignorant as the authors about the reality of trans people’s care.

Just thinking about how Larry Summers, Matt Yglesias, Ross Douthat, and Reihan Salam were all at Harvard at the same time in 2001-2003. What at time.

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

"The reason why this is of concern, is—he's the president of the United States, he's been found in another case by a civil jury to have been liable for sexually abusing a woman in a department store, he's a convicted felon, and he's had dozens of women accuse him of sexual abuse."
