Prime example of this ineptitude: the CECOT segment on “60 Minutes” she delayed allegedly to solicit comments from the White House. It aired last night finally, and the responses from the admin were quite literally things like, “we’re not going to answer your questions, that would be insane.”

I’m 1/3 of the way through this one and good god, if it isn’t one of the best novels I’ve started in a long while. So finely written, such full characters. One thing @keithrosson.bsky.social understands deeply: it doesn’t matter what horrors befall a character if you don’t first care about them.

One standout element for me of “Stranger Things” season five, as with all the seasons, is the original score—moody, urgent, synth-heavy. Reminds me a lot of the score Johann Johannsson (RIP) did for the film “Mandy.”
