Recently started meditating and was really benefitting from it so naturally The Atlantic sends me this:

A holiday yard flag I can respect

You could have written a story like this about a lot of Germans in WWII

Now that's presidential humor

More proof that this administration values profits over people

Like the man says, you can never have too many pockets

I was at a restaurant today and meant to ask my wife 'Do you want dessert?' Instead, it came out 'Do you want divorce?'

Breaking Ike's globe is a little too on the mark for the Hegseth gang wapo.st/3WF2YQo

NYT: Trump's average approval rating hits a new low at 36%

Folks were lined up in Kenner this morning. Join the fun and vote early! #NOLAsky

A better headline: Trump Announces $8 Billion Plan to Cover Farm Losses He Created

If the White House switches to all-patriotic music, we'll know he's dead

Waiting for TMZ to confirm

Three days ago, I told my wife Rowan Atkinson was dead. Now I can't bring myself to tell her I was wrong.

I hate these 'don't get your hopes up' columns

I hereby announce that I disavow the Wall Street Journal Wine Club and all its future varietal offerings

The feel-good story of the day. Thanks, NYT!

Don't make me do it without the fez on

Never a doubt in my mind #Saints

I'm jumping back on the bandwagon!

This may not be the American people's top priority at the moment wapo.st/47qaXDm

The best thing about an October cold front moving into New Orleans and temps dropping to the 60s is seeing everybody's new parkas #NOLAsky

I absolutely cannot wait to vote early this Tuesday

'Instead of running the country and dealing with the world he has set on fire, the president is focused on settling petty squabbles and a web of corruption in his incompetent — and dangerous — court.'

It turns out that getting old is for sissies

She shouldn't feel bad. When I was in college, I only lasted at the Coca-Cola bottling plant for 3 days.

Gonna try this hummingbird stuff. See what all the fuss is about. #NolaSky

In a bonus edition of my Stop the Presses newsletter, I describe how the New York Times invited me to do a video for the NYT website to air my grievances about the Times' sanewashing of Trump's fascist behavior. I was surprised to be asked, but I gave it to them straight.

Watch my former Chicago Tribune colleague @markjacob.bsky.social handily win this argument with the NYT over its Trump coverage. It's no contest.

This is outstanding. @markjacob.bsky.social was my editor for a long time, and you won’t find a better or smarter journalist. Credit to the NY Times for giving him a platform to tell them how badly they’re blowing things, but more credit to Mark for being a fearless voice for good journalism.

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

You know it's a bad idea when even the Mad King can't go for it

Something is seriously wrong with the president

This is the headlines that will push Republicans over the edge this November

This is supposedly has something to do with immigration paperwork. She has been a U.S. citizen for 26 years.

I known I'm late to the party on this, but 'Disclosure Day' is a really bad movie

Ruin a book by adding a word: 'Pet Sematary Hijinks'

Whatever, dumbo

Some Christians just love to kill people

Don't continue to fall for the grift. Trump wants to give you pennies while billionaires get billions more. Republicans don't deserve your vote this time around. wapo.st/4eqY9jI

Mike Ditka, Chicago Bears Hall of Famer and Super Bowl-winning coach, dies at 86

A couple of recent presidential polls show Trump cratering at 32% and 30% approval

“It’s about degrading the people. It’s about desensitizing the public. The United States military is far better than this. Senior officials should protest, and if necessary resign, rather than being complicit in the voyeuristic degradation of our democracy.” www.thebulwark.com/p/hegseth-wa...

a livestreamed execution is just a lynching

Cruel, immoral and downright evil

We are days away from going to war with Sweden

My radioactive atom just squished. I'm late!
