Good news! With the advent of the internet and social media, anyone can become an opinion leader and reach a large audience with no gate keeper. Bad news! With the advent of the internet and social media, anyone can become an opinion leader and reach a large audience with no gate keeper.

A day after the end of The Late Show, Colbert has returned. latenighter.com/news/stephen...
Stephen Colbert Returns to Only in Monroe After Late Show Finale - LateNighter
First on LateNighter: Stephen Colbert told viewers exactly where they'd find him after The Late Show. Turns out he wasn’t kidding.

I knew Letterman would show up with his DGAF attitude fully engaged. So far in this travesty Colbert has mostly stayed positive. But when they started tossing stuff off the roof, I could sense his anger. I wish I could have been there to hand him more CBS property to smash on the street below.
"To the folks at CBS, in the words of the great Ed Murrow, good night and good luck, motherf* kers."
Saying Trump is crazy doesn't fully describe the situation. Narcissistic collapse is becoming psychosis. open.substack.com/pub/frankgeo...

The frightening part isn’t his narcissism anymore. It’s fantasy replacing reality.

Watching David Letterman and Stephen Colbert toss CBS property off the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater brought me great joy.
My most effective ADHD paralysis hack: I go back to bed and sleep for several hours knowing that by the time I wake up it will be too late to start the task and I'll be off the hook that day. Works like a charm. You're welcome.
Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌
Waiting to see how Colbert's demise affects ratings for CBS Morning and local affiliates. Colbert fans are watching CBS when they go to bed, and that's the channel their TVs are set to when they turn the TV on in the morning. Carson had the same affect for NBC. Byron Allen can't carry that water.
New ratings data shows Tony Dokoupil’s “Evening News” sinking to historic lows, with veteran TV news executives telling us the network is a “sinking ship” and blaming its woes on Bari Weiss. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/tony-dokou...
He's corrupt, ignorant, demented, and dangerous... But please DO NOT shoot at him. That doesn't help.
Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/so... preprint w/ Richard Rogers
Trump did what he had to do knowing full well the reputation of the FIFA Peace Prize would be forever tarnished. You have to respect that.
My 13yo asked what ATM stood for. I told him, but then had to explain what a teller is.
I love Olympic ice dancing. I'd watch it for the twizzles alone. #olympics

What the hell happened to #bluesky? It's broken! I can't scroll through people's account pages. It's like looking through a keyhole.
🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣 This is a must-watch. 🔥
Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.
Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest: Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No
