Well, I did it. I'm Ex-X. I'll only miss Danny Baker, aka @prodnose, and the NYT Wirecutter people. Other than that, good riddance to bad rubbish.

I was born in Coney Island 2 years after they left. I was born in mourning.

A preview of the GOP after Trump dies. A bloodbath.

Shades of “Back in the African-American” from pre-AI days.

See, this is why he tore down the East Wing. It’s where she had her offices before she left him for her assorted boy toys. It’s all a psychosexual rage. He really IS the most transparent president in history.

And this guy got into Studio 54 dancing like that?

Putin takes Trump to dinner at a fancy restaurant in Moscow. He orders a steak, medium rare.
“What about the vegetable?” the waiter asks.
“He can order for himself.”

Very punchable face.

I am greatly indebted to my friend Maya Chupkov for featuring my blatherings about playwriting and stuttering on her Proud Stutter podcast. Listen at your own risk!

Jim, BTW you’re on channel 4426 on Comcast in MoCo. It’s the Fox Local feed. No need for a Roku or Fire.

Nazi iconography. How nice.

Mickey has no dialogue to interfere. It’s pure slapstick. Popeye and Betty Boop are dialogue heavy.

Mine are set to fail at 3 am.

The answer:
No urinals
Locked stalls only
Unisex bathrooms
No one’s getting harassed at a sink
Locker rooms are awkward for EVERYONE.

I could see the end when they got rid of the magazine. First of the dominoes.

Now that anyone worth reading is gone through the buyouts or by firing, it's not relevant even in DC anymore. That 97,000 circ figure was in January. I wonder what it is now.

Trump does nothing out of the goodness of his heart. He wants something, like a mob boss making peace so everyone can get back to their crimes. I love Israel, but remember--a cease-fire is not a permanent peace. All sides must keep their promises, and I don't trust any of them.

I love the one-shot gag cartoons. The horse doing a Cantor in Farm Frolics is a scream.

Where's Richard Widmark when you need him?

I give you…HABOOB! (Look it up. Really. A weather term. Not dirty.)

We were just there. One of the most beautiful and welcoming places I’ve ever visited. And, 90% of all new cars there are electric. They have a problem with huge cruise ships docking in tiny fjord towns, though. But a magnificent place.
