"I look forward to bringing my unique perspective from my experience as White House press secretary, along with the same energy and candor that defined my tenure, to Fox's millions of viewers across their many platforms." -- I'm pretty sure this brings Fox News up to 31 flavors of bullshit.

I've already gotten one of those stupid scam emails inviting me to yet another phantom "reading group," this time for a book of mine that won't be out until next summer, but of course they're writing to me like it's already out. For fuck's sake. 🤣 #WritingLife

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. If you haven't had a screening in a while, now's a good time. My wife was diagnosed back in 2015 and she beat its ass. So, hell yeah she's my hero.

"Chain of Command" mentions a "standard three shift rotation," suggesting 8-hour shifts. Captain Jellico orders it changed to four shifts, so likely 6-hour shifts. So far as I recall there's nothing to indicate whether they stuck with that or changed it back after Jellico left.

Man Carries Many Beers at Oktoberfest

I’ve told this story elsewhere, but I watched the premiere in the TV room of my barracks at Camp Pendleton. The room was stuffed with Marines, and maybe it was because of the beer, but we all stayed to watch the whole thing.

So, the same people who've boycotted the NFL three or four times at this point are still upset when cameras break away from the on-field action for three seconds to show Taylor Swift celebrating her husband's team scoring or after some other big play. Do I have that right?
