Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis on Nick Fuentes running for president one day.
Rogan: “He could probably win in a few years. Listen, he couldn’t have existed before, right? Ten, twenty years ago, couldn’t have existed. Now, super popular. What’s twenty years from now look like?”

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

So we found out today in San Francisco that autonomous cars don't work in a blackout (Waymos shut down, wherever they were, all over city)
Participating in live experiments is fun! I still wish I'd been asked beforehand. But it is pretty wild and kind of cool to see them discover their edge cases.

Do you think she'll ask why Ghislaine got moved and has a puppy?
Will she ask why Blanche ordered the kidnapping of Ras Baraka?
Will she ask about Trump's witch hunt against Comey and James?
