So I just saw on BBC that Elon suspended “Ye”? 

Elon’s governance of the platform has been helter skelter. Why bring him back to the platform in the first place??

A mess.

Kanye put some DMs on Truth Social which suggest this was all coordinated with Elon...until it wasn't. He was also originally meant to just get a 12 hour ban, until he spun out of control. The sad thing is many are still going on about his brave, truth-telling words, but his days of being a useful foil for the GOP are over (for about a month, anyway - if he survives that long).

His last tweet, or one of his last, was a photo of Elon looking like the stuffed pig that he is. You could tell Elon was upset by it too.

Speaking of pigs, and worthless media:

 

The rare decent Atlantic article:

 

 

Surprising to no one.

The question is, how many more embarrassments can Semafor stand both before and just after rolling out of the gate?

 

 

 

 

With the claims out now of TJ having an affair with a GMA producer that Robach knew about (and was friends with until very recently), this moves to levels of increasingly toxic sleaze. 

Speaking of sleaze, and delusion, this is laughable. Ross Barkan, known for many bad takes, is begging people to pay $40 to read Matt Taibbi's swill because otherwise they have no right to say it's swill.

 

Robach and Holmes have been temporarily removed from GMA3. Gio Benitez and Stephanie Ramos will fill in while ABC decides what to do. (Via Deadline)

Flashback to exactly 5 years ago when the morning show scandal was all about Matt Lauer.  Perhaps another "Morning Show" type of TV show will emerge out of this and Reese Witherspoon will play Amy Robach.

I’ve seen some articles saying that ABC should capitalize on it and make them the new Joe and Mika. Although what a mess if they break up (given T.J.’s particular tendency to roam).

That (and the fact that the affair started before they separated from their spouses) is one reason it's unlikely to be a good idea.

I know, right?  As a senator, Biden commuted by train!

Yes, indeed. He took and still takes pride in that.

You just gave them a new storyline for Season 4, lol! 😁

I couldn't bring myself to directly link to Hamilton Nolan, who I detest, so:
