Memo to Bari Weiss Re: CBS News: You’re doomed

Bari Weiss has sold her company, The Free Press, to manage the decline of broadcast news at CBS. How many ways can it go wrong?

Be on the lookout for false flag plants on the 18th. Shame them, call them out, do not allow instigators to disrupt the peace.

If I saw so much as a hint of fascism in a product I paid for, I'd vote with my wallet immediately. There's no leeway or wiggle room for that shit. Money talks. Same reason I've reduced my amazon purchases by about 90%. We don't negotiate with nazis.

I watched Collison for 90 minutes on HBO Max on my PC, in browser. Got commercials but not ICE. Switched to my Apple TV during a commercial break, 15 seconds in I got IVE commercial. Wonder if platform matters?

I’ve cancelled my Max sub.

Of note, I did not see any ICE ads on HBO Max in my area tonight, which was extremely surprising yet pleasantly delightful. I saw that TNT did it though to a bunch of y'all, so please keep bombarding WBD/local broadcasting with emails and calls #AEWCollision 🤼‍♂️

No fingerprint or DNA tests were conducted in Jeffrey Epstein's cell after his death. Sus AF.

If ICE tries to arrest you, tell them you work for the Colombian Mafia who are watching you right now, and if any harm comes to you, or if they arrest you, the Mafia will follow them home and may God have mercy on them. Scream out into the crowd, “Luwindo, they’re taking me.” 👠

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

dodgers not gonna go into miller park over confident. The brewers whipped their asses all season.

Yes, the dodgers are better now that their six month spring training of a regular season is mercifully over and they’re actually fielding their best players, but still.

I lost my dear senior pup unexpectedly on Tuesday. He had a hidden heart tumor that ruptured.

I'm trying to stay grateful that we had 11 laughter-and-love filled years together vs. 7 horrific hours. He didn't suffer & I'm not alone.

But, oh how I miss my beautiful boy!
