Parrot Room: The Parrot Room is melting in the dark
Oh, *those* lingerie photos. But are you deplatformed across *all* layers of the internet? Was Musk’s response anti-Semitic?—We don’t think so. Bob’s theory of why Musk is weird. Why Bob should stay away from the Unz Review. Why are there so many evangelical golfers? Mickey doesn’t remember what was weird about Jimmy Webb but he does remember what was weird about P.F. Sloan (a Jimmy Webb subject). Why can’t we find out who’s in the Epstein tapes--and why isn’t Tucker ranting about this every night? Bob still trying to hook Mickey on drugs. Why might Biden allow an even bigger migrant surge?—Mickey thinks there is a large unspoken reason. Bob goes down the Scott Ritter/Gonzalo Lira/Victoria Nuland rabbit hole. Mickey’s latest child tax credit paranoia. Now that college is less “meritocratic,” what happens next? Bob’s grilling of Mickey has a disparate impact. The collateral damage from CNN+’s implosion: Rex Chapman. What is it with these crazy natalists? Not all tight labor markets are alike. Bob tries to summarize Everything Everywhere All at Once. Which leads to the Buddhism-nihilism question. Who will replace Fred Hiatt? Bob’s theory on why that person will be a hawk. Doesn’t anybody hate Mickey?—We know you’re out there. Parrot hits the high note.
This dialogue is (in part, at least) a continuation of a publicly available dialogue taped earlier in the day.
