A quarter-century after its premiere, “The West Wing” is a vastly more cynical show than many of its admirers remember, which is why it is also a more compelling work of art than many of its skeptics assume.
Happy Birthday Merlin!!
The Lilith Fair doc was incredible. As a huge fan of those women, I wish I could have been there. I am now attending concerts with my daughter & feel what are likely similar vibes at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour & Gracie Abrams: love & acceptance. As a mom, it gives me hope for the next generation.
Just watched this last night. I have been to a lot of concerts over my 49 years was a huge fan of all of these women. However, at the end of the doc, I realized that I have been experiencing likely the same vibes at recent shows w/ my daughter incl. Taylor Swift & Gracie Abrams: love & acceptance.❤️
I’m in!
There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.
I talk about this and more on the final episode of WTF with Marc Maron. Watch now:

Filmmaker Ken Burns tells NPR's Michel Martin about the role that federal funding has played in his documentary work and the potential impact of the loss of that funding on children's programming.
Column by Lili Loofbourow: The day Stephen Colbert’s show was canceled, the House passed a bill backing Trump’s push to defund NPR and PBS.
CBS knows what all this looks like. They’re trying very hard to address the optics.
I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.
I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.
The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.
This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

I definitely dig the faster tempo of this version! The original version has its own appeal, but this is one fun for sure.
You two are amazing - love it!
