Lovely homage by Dave Barry about his wife, Michelle Kaufman, a longtime sportswriter for The Miami Herald until last week, when her job was among 30 unceremoniously cut from the newspaper. If you've ever read Michelle's writing, you know what a loss it is. God damn it.

Amy Chozick, famous for doing all she could to shit on Hillary Clinton by her own admission, posted her 2023 "Call her Liz" profile as if she's proud of it. Chozick is the kind of shitty journalist who probably thinks Olivia Nuzzi was unfairly fired.

Using the kind of language executives have grown comfortable throwing around about AI replacing workers, it suggests the bottleneck to productivity and enhanced profitability at companies isn't a lack of worker enhancements; it's that leadership can't keep up.

"The weekend’s most insane post might have come from the White House’s Twitter account: an AI video of Trump as Green Lantern, using his ring to construct a border wall. The video was a potent reminder that the president has staffed his administration with sycophants every bit as deranged as he is."

Trump would rather pull Blanche’s nomination for AG than allow him to commit in writing that Trump’s IRS deal is off. The immunity Blanche granted to Trump from IRS audits is a windfall that some experts estimate is worth $100 million in taxpayer funds for Trump. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

​"The obvious reality is that giving rage-inducing hormones to mentally unstable people will cause a major increase in murder.
​Statistically, trans and trans-driven (eg Charlie Kirk's killer) homicide rates are more than triple that of the general population."
