It's hauntingly reminiscent of Wisconsin in 2017, when no one bothered to challenge Annette Ziegler. A golden opportunity wasted, and I've never stopped stewing over it. (Also, hi Nate! I'm the Andrew you shared an office with 20 years ago. Hope all is excellent with you!)

Hey, that's an impressively diverse assemblage from the finance, real estate, private equity, management consulting, C-suite, and nepo baby communities. A robust cross-section of the only Americans that matter.
The exchange from the podcast went thusly:
MILLER: “[Mayo is] the only thing my husband eats.”
VANCE: “With french fries, or like period?”
MILLER: “Period.”
In context it's clear that she was just talking about condiments, but Karni chose to go with the literal interpretation instead.
This is insanely delightful.
A headshot of a fresh-faced, cleanly-shaven Vince Gilligan from 2002.
Not that it necessarily disproves your theory, but he was clean-shaven 30 years ago! He didn't start with the facial hair until after The X-Files ended. This is from The X-Files wrap party in 2002:
It's grimly funny that Kessler apparently only lobbied for an ombudsman at the Post because he wanted somebody to publicly defend him against the justified backlash to his often-abysmal work.
Me: Hey Mr. GPT, please give me a rating for Donald Trump's first six months of his second term on a scale of 0-10. ChatGPT: As of now (July 21, 2025), Donald Trump is not currently serving a second term as President of the United States. Therefore, there haven't been any events or policies from a second term to evaluate or rate.
The hallucination my ChatGPT is living in sounds fucking rad.
“Yvette Hoffman was released from the hospital a few days after the attacks.”
A headline reading “Fewer Morgan Wallen fans arrested or ticketed Sunday compared to Saturday.”
Refreshing to see the government surveilling the behavior of some actual miscreants for once. Public shaming is really the only way to keep this menace at bay.
"They're glamorizing bad ideas," she said of the mainstream outlets. "They're glamorizing evil."
Ironically enough, the NRO dipshit you quote was dead on about this much, though not for the reasons she thinks:
Crawford won by 236,000 votes (as opposed to 734 in NC), her opponent conceded immediately, and the state Supreme Court has a liberal majority. I harbor no illusions about the bottomless malice of the WI right-wing legal machine, but no one's even going to dream of filing suit here.
