I don’t know who needs to hear this, but do not buy a $300 toaster unless it can go on a cross-country adventure with a heating pad, radio, lamp and vacuum cleaner to find you when you’re 20. (And make the air conditioner crash out.)

I am very surprised that more people are not discussing the fact that former presidential candidate Andrew Yang is a contestant on a Fox game show called "Nation's Dumbest," where he and other celebrities try to prove that they are, in fact, not stupid.

CBS and Fox stations and affiliates are the only ones carrying President Donald Trump's prime-time speech. CBS News is airing the speech on a delay and occasionally interrupting it for context from Major Garrett. Fox is taking the speech in its entirety, live.

It's one thing to get the story on Samuel Alito's retirement wrong. It's another thing to get the circumstances of NPR's retraction wrong. @kellymcb.bsky.social originally wrote that Nina Totenberg misheard Supreme Court Justice John Roberts. That isn't what happened.

Here's the rest of the exchange. I really did try to get an interview with the Chairman. I would have given him the same fair shake, but subjected him to the same tough questions, as everyone else I interview. Invitation is still there.

Don't want to venture too far down the rabbit hole of crypto bros, but the "fan" who ran onto the court during Game 1 of the NBA Finals is part of the same group of dumbasses that "streaked" during a PGA tournament, crashed a Clippers game and ran onto the diamond of a baseball game.

The NTSB has released sound spectrum analysis for YEARS. Now, the Trump administration's NTSB has pulled its entire public docket, and locked up decades of public records, because of its mistake. Unprecedented. We will be FOIA'ing the hell out of this matter.

Why isn't "Heated Rivalry" ascending the Nielsen streaming charts? Because it only has six episodes, which means it can't accrue the millions of "minutes viewed" like larger franchises — "Bluey," "Friends" and "Law & Order" — which have well over 100. That's it. That's the answer.
