- Corrupted file.
“Yeah, I had a discussion with some reason staffers about the substance and tone in which we might eulogize him. And I learned a rule from a colleague, which I like a lot, which is don't say anything after someone died that you didn't say while they were alive.”
Foolproof way of allowing yourself to say terrible things about someone after they die.

I generally enjoy these round-ups, with a mix of agreement & disagreement to tune of sharing knowledge & information. Something has gotten out of hand lately.

Katherine and Peter should have their own podcast where they can talk in dorky millennial meme-speak and Nick and Matt can keep this one where they talk like normal people.

Really enjoyed having a British perspective this week, but for the love of god, you have to stop using terms like 'TDS'. Giving it credence is embarrassing. You sound like you're sucking off DT, too afraid to fully criticize this asinine administration and many of the clearly unconstitutional, anti libertarian, anti liberalism actions. WAKE UP.

I genuinely don't know how the hosts could also be editors of a current events magazine; their reporting and commentary on culture, especially abroad, is like the literati equivalent of a teenager telling you about this hot new novel called "1894" that just dropped, or like your grandma calling you to ask if you've heard about a new interwebs virus called "TikTok."
