Here it is. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for an apology.

No, Meryl isn’t ‘redeemed.’ Redeemed suggests she was in the wrong for a period. Hopefully shitty reporters are chastened, though.

Unpopular opinion—I’ve never found Jimmy Fallon funny.

I’m so glad you brought this up. I was wondering if maybe it was a “word of the day” calendar situation.

This is the same GOP that wallows in not doing their jobs. Proudly announces they aren’t going to do their jobs. Wants laws put in place so other people don’t have to do their jobs. It was only a matter of time before they started actively punishing people for doing their jobs.

The spoonful of sugar wasn’t a “placebo” it was a chaser for actual medicine. Get it right!
