The last time the Mariners were in the ALCS, I was 11 years old. It was the historic 2001 season, when they won 116 games. I watched nearly every game that season and remember being absolutely devastated when they got eliminated. Nearly a quarter of a century later, thrilling to see them win it.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Scoop: Bari Weiss had lunch with Norah O'Donnell this week as CBS News brass re-evaluates how to revamp the "Evening News," a top priority for them. Another name in the mix: Tony Dokoupil. And then, I'm told, there's a mystery outsider.

“What he's doing is contrary to his initial promise. He's ensuring ideological conformity rather than the robust debate he had charted as his path forward," one former Post opinion staffer told me.
