The problem isn't CK's talent, NYT. Stop making the argument that enough talent allows you to do and get away with things. CK had a longstanding system of pathological abuse and used his fame and connections to squash it, ruining lives and careers. That has nothing to do with a movie he just wrote.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter

Great work Todd and Jim!
Remember, too, that Hegseth would have been rejected if a single additional Republican senator — or, JD Vance — had joined Sen. Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski in voting no with the Democrats. See: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Agree that Indy could easily compete in this arena with a little bit of effort
Hmmm. Indianapolis might want to step up their bike friendly marketing.
Minneapolis has been named one of the world’s most bike-friendly cities! A new report covering 100 cities in 44 countries ranked Minneapolis as the #2 biking city in the U.S., #5 in North America and #44 globally. Learn more: https://www.minneapolismn.gov/news/2025/november/2025-bike-friendly-city/
