Thank you, America! Money from diesel will help me kill even more Ukrainian children.
A new Dark Ages. One can only imagine — or not — what they have planned if they retain the House and Senate.

My $90 bribe arrived. Correction: attempted bribe. This, on the day after the psychopath encouraged Iran to take out my city. It’s beyond grotesque
Buried on the NYT homepage (perhaps higher earlier?) This is what happens when you normalize psychopathy
What happens when you lay off copy editors: "Tom Cruise would return to capital-A Acting in a satirical film by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, whose won best director at the Oscars for both of his most recent English-language films, “Birdman” (2014) and “The Revenant” (2015)."

Good column. It has been a hallmark of "minority" Republicans — whether LGBTQ+, women, Latino/a, whatever — that they share the same notion as majority GQPers: They don't think their party's policies will affect them, so they don't care. Until it inevitably does. Call it what it is: lack of empathy.
Commentary: What the 'Taco Stand Karen' fiasco says about right-wing Latinos
The internet dubbed her “Santa Clarita Karen." Francesca Ortega's face-off with taqueros soon went viral, with almost everyone blasting her crassness.

So sad what America has come to, while the party that once bragged about its conservatism, its traditionalism, its respect for culture, has lost its moral core in servitude to an empty psychopath and watches the destruction without a peep.
The Kennedy Center was solvent when Trump took over. Then its finances collapsed.
The Post examined 15 years of the institution’s financial records to see why it went south after the president took over.

If we are talking about Peter Thiel—the nuttier version of Roy Cohn, only out—don't speculate about the young model Thiel was cheating on his husband with, who made a rather Russian departure from life, off a high-rise balcony, after crashing Mr. & Mr. Thiel's party and causing a row between them.
I guarantee that if her own daughter hadn’t been killed and someone else’s was, she would care less about them or what ICE agents are up to.

I have no doubt that once Ellison finalizes the merger, he'll bail on California. His father moved Oracle's HQ from Austin to Tennessee after that state offered millions in handouts. It's all abt the grift, lowering costs. We'll see how many employees and how much production remains in California.
Paramount Settles States’ Antitrust Suit, Clearing Way for Warner Megadeal
The settlement stops short of forcing Paramount CEO David Ellison to make significant structural changes, but includes penalties if it doesn’t make good on its promises.

I'm with Noah Wyle on the HBO set of Emmy-winning The Pitt to sign legislation strengthening our amazing California Film & TV Tax Credit for productions in the Golden State. California is THE entertainment capital of the world — and we aren't letting that go.
Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.
