My objection to the White House Correspondents Dinner, the reason I've never attended, goes back to the mid-1990s, when I first had the opportunity. Journalism is, generally speaking, adversarial. Journalists should not have chummy, just-us-pals relationships with the subjects of their beats.

My theory is all those sloppy, misspelled, grammatically unmoored scam emails are sent by sophisticated grifters to make their real scam solicitations — the well-crafted, picture-perfect re-creations of legitimate websites — even more persuasive.

And you may find yourself living in a Red Stick
And you may find yourself in another part of the SEC
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large Tigermobile

Look, I've never particularly been a fan of Mariah Carey, but this is absurd. She is one of the five best-selling female artists of all time, with 19 No. 1 singles. That Billy Idol and his safe-for-Grandma punk lite gets in and she doesn't defies all explanation.

Say "weak on crime" again. I dare you.

"Up" is one of Pixar's worst movies, a treacly, sodden festival of emotional manipulation.
Used to be something like the Space Nutella would quickly get its own Twitter account. It would be funny. I shudder to think what its X account would look like.
A 'Dinosaur Smarties' Easter egg.
Erm, they're called palaeontologists, actually.

You get one "waiting for Cadeau" post ... use it wisely. #FinalFour 🏀
A student just described the Articles of Confederation as thirteen different countries in a trench coat pretending to be one country and I don't think I will ever recover.
