Ann Coulter goes Substack. Tesla’s in turmoil, but it looks like Elon’s Twitter deal is still on. Freddie deBoer gets the Ben Smith treatment—Mickey says “One of us, One of us!” China’s sex ratio problem. Does the second amendment protect assault rifles? Some constitutional protections are hard to explain—take the right against self-incrimination. Four questions about the Johnny Depp verdict. Half of Mickey’s brain still likes Severance. Come on!—Sussmann was working for Hillary, right? But the Alfa Bank scandal is alive, alive! (Or at least not dead, dead!) What Franklin Foer must do now. Why are so many Gen Zers identifying as gay or bisexual or nonbinary (whatever that means)? Who is crazier, Bob or Mickey?—the definitive answer. Anita Dunn’s Weinstein problem. Bob’s most unsparing Biden rant yet. Bob’s latest streaming recommendation. The Institute for the Study of War’s stranglehold on Ukraine war news continues. Was Trump rolled or just lazy? Quit coddling Tucker’s son. Bob’s Dead End update: the Feds move in. Why anti-Trumpers hated Tad Devine. Is Hollywood responsible for gun madness? Is our commenter right about power trios? Was Cream too muddy? Commenters defend Call of Duty. The commenter decorum issue. Mickey’s mindless contrarian assignment desk: trash this guy!
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
