    What kind of buffoon

    The talking heads don't need to be exactly smart. They just need to be good talkers, and in many cases to make it look as though they're not reading an autocue when they're reading an autocue.

    After a while, I imagine most of them probably start believing their own bullshit.

    And then they become presidential debate moderators.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I didn't learn much about Obama as a person during his presidency. But I learned a lot when refused to endorse Biden when that endorsement could have come at any social cost whatsoever to himself. Then his 50th birthday party and the pop culture orgy that was, well, yes, that's Obama the man. Glorified nothing burger. I can't imagine he had anything interesting to say on his podcast, for all the white progressives who probably touched themselves to it.

              What kind of buffoon prime-time anchor would leave a well-paying gig for a streaming service that hadn't even gotten off the ground yet?

              I don't know, but the tribal lefties seemed to think it was an "I told you so" moment.

              I think it was the tribal righties that said that. They were always suspicious of him, at least since the trumpian takeover of the party and the network.

                  I saw a TV commercial last night for CNN+. Awkward.

                      People who preach about kindness to others inevitably bear claws and fangs as soon as they feel righteous to do so. It’s not that kind people don’t exist, it’s that kind people who condescendingly preach about kindness don’t exist. Most of those idiots can’t pass a first simple test of kindness, for instance viewing charitably the opinions of a political other.
