I just got fed the CBS Evening News feed on Twitter, and here are four of the stories they’re featuring tonight.
(In case you were wondering why their ratings are tanking amid a historic news cycle.)
While at dog prom, where the dogs are just staring at you, while hiking a leg on your 250-year-old furniture, after wrecking your medicine cabinet and plundering your pantry.
Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding
Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...
Just going to need to remember this when the draft grades come out.
Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020.
She missed these trials by a few months.
One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here.
I feel such a hole inside.

I have found the secret for insuring we don’t skip a show’s intro: get Michael Stipe to write and sing the song.
Rooster is great, by the way.
Watch the whole episode here:
Ben Collins knows what he’s about here. He’s after all been a part of this effort for — what? — almost two years now. (And good for him!)
Watch. Study. Much is made, as it should be, of PTFO, but Pablo Torre does one of the hardest things in an interview. He sits, quietly, and lets it come to him.
The best day to leave X was Oct. 27, 2022.
The next best 1,270 days were any of the 1,270 days since then.
Today is the 1,271st best day to leave X.

We’re defending Western Civilization by kicking Plato and Shakespeare out of university classes.
The word is out. The blinders are off. People are picking sides.
The side to pick is the local side.
They’re wearing pocket squares … much of which is hidden inside the pocket.
I’m mostly concerned about this willing affiliation given the various social identity theories.
Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
A political scientist friend has argued to me that there’s room for a third party. He’s previously argued to me that we’re structurally not set up for that.
Fifteen months in and we’re still getting “we must fight back” social media posts.
“We must fight back” posts from a member of the House Budget Committee.
The time for social media hits has long since passed.
It could have been worse, thanks. Really, that was just a lot to process all at once.
