Religion is the most malevolent of all mind viruses.

Does this mean Lewandowski will now have to bang Mullin?

Who could have foreseen that an innocent little thing like the C.I.A. orchestrating the 1953 overthrow of Iran's legitimate government, the U.S. installing a puppet, helping create the Shah's brutal Secret Police & U.S. oil companies taking 40% of Iran's oil revenues would have caused hard feelings?

Dear Women’s USA Olympic Hockey Team — First, congratulations! Second: I drove race cars for 19 yrs & the amount of misogynistic crap I put up with in the garage was insane. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team has now shown you their true colors. Believe them. They’re not friends of your team or women in general. I’m so tired of this misogyny in sports & everywhere else in American life, to be honest. The patriarchy sucks. Grow the fuck up or hand the keys over to the ladies. Maybe it’s time we drive.

Leilani Munter, y'all.

Watching Jeffries on TV makes me want to throw something. Just grates on my nerves like crazy. I don’t like his speech patterns. I don’t like his hand gestures. I don’t like his phrasing.

How is this man in charge of things?

JD Vance has changed his name, his look, his religion, his positions many issues and people, but he won’t ever be able to change the fact that he’s a smug, insufferable, unlikable ass.

Uday and Qusay confess.

After multiple performers dropped out, Kid Rock was forced to cancel all dates in South Carolina. He has sold fewer than 200 tickets for his show in Pennsylvania, which will likely be the next cancellation.

We keep being told that religion, whatever its imperfections, at least instills morality.

On every side, there is conclusive evidence that the contrary is the case & that faith causes people to be more mean, more selfish, & perhaps above all, more stupid.

NEW EPSTEIN SURVIVORS AD: “3 million files still not released — stand with us. Tell AG Pam Bondi to release the files. It’s time for the truth.”

Make it viral.

Remember, every day is filled with the promise and possibility that it will be his last day on Earth.

Trump post about his good brain.

Please clap for Donald passing the mental equivalent of a sobriety checkpoint.

My error. I turned on the TV, and I thought he was dead.

News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we

have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.

We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

We’ve given thoughts and prayers enough chances.Let’s give gun control a shot.

Just once I’d like an athlete to say “hail Satan” at the beginning of a post game interview, is that too much to ask

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
