Parisiens, quelle est l’ambiance à Paris aujourd’hui ? A-t-on l’impression d’une révolution à l’échelle de toute la ville, ou bien le chaos se limite-t-il à un petit coin précis ?

Got a new book at the library. Outside, I picked mountains of blackberries. A band started up in the park. Off to meet an old friend for a walk by the beach. This is the suburban version of "Today was a Good Day."

Folks, Trump and MAGA aren't leaving legally or peacefully. I wish more people would talk about this. They are literally sharing their supervillain plot in the open.

There's an episode of "Worst Neighbor Ever" where an old man goes missing. The cops keep asking his "estate trustee" to see him. She keeps saying she just spoke to him and he's fine. Spoiler: He was NOT fine. This post is about Mitch McConnell.

Trump on Washington DC: "They used to go in and rob the restaurants. You wouldn't feel safe in a restaurant. It was like the old Wild West -- they'd say, 'Sick 'em up. Give me your money.' The whole restaurant is handing them money."

3 incumbents with establishment backing, corporate PAC money, AIPAC support, and Hakeem Jeffries endorsements. All 3 lost. Every candidate Mamdani endorsed won. Nearly 40 states still have primaries. If you liked what you saw in New York, here's how you can help take it nationwide.

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

ms.nowThe Onion says it won’t wait for the courts, will launch Infowars to pay Sandy Hook familiesThe Onion’s staff is tired of waiting for the courts to settle its pending takeover of Alex Jones’ brand, so the new Infowars will launch next month.

Can confirm this reality. Exhibit A: a text exchange on the way to our high school reunion:

And this is all by way of saying that sometimes when we're able to choose to stay, we change more lives than we can know, or comprehend. We make ripples we'll never see. It's important. Please stay.
