@NickKristof @WFP Africa? WTF are you saying?

President Trump's Iran war is pushing 45 million more people into hunger, particularly Africa, because of rising transport costs. It may turn out that the war will kill more children in Africa, through malnutrition, than in Iran. Thanks to @WFP for fighting to feed the hungry.

@MegynKellyShow U look exactly like that

@megbasham She’s not beautiful

For the record, I think Lupita Nyong’o is incredibly beautiful. I mean she has a nearly perfect face. The issue is that Helen of Troy was Greek and described as fair and Musk is almost certainly correct that Nolan changed her race to fulfill the new diversity standards the Academy requires. And we should whine about that. It’s death to art.

Chris Nolan desecrated the Odyssey so that he would be eligible for an Academy Award …

The last truly great historical epic was Master and Commander, 23 years ago. Brilliant actors and filmmakers at the top of their game telling a sweeping, exciting, heroic story that looks and sounds and feels totally accurate to the period, dealing with weighty moral themes, handled with real artistry, and with absolutely no concern for “diverse representation” or DEI or any other anachronistic bull crap. You leave the film feeling enthralled and also like you just received a history lesson. No other film for the past quarter century has even come close, except for Apocalypto which was masterfully done and unflinchingly realistic, but not exactly trying to be a “historical epic,” I’d argue.

@KatTimpf @guypbenson My deepest sympathy dear girl

My seemingly healthy, strong father Daniel “Dad Timpf” Timpf died very unexpectedly on the evening of May 7 at just 69 years old.   It does not seem like enough to simply call him my father, because he was so much more than that. He was my rock, my hero and my best friend. He was loyal, funny, kind, selfless, hard-working, and so devoted to his children that it was impossible to be near him and not find yourself inspired. He was a writer, a painter, a sailor, and somehow knowledgeable on every subject from world history to literature to accounting. He was the most dependable person anyone has ever met. I always felt like, as long as I had his phone number, there was not a problem I could not solve. I needed him here with me; I am not okay, and I am far from the only person who feels this.   The birth of my son in February 2025, his first grandchild, was supposed to be a happy new beginning for our family. A family that had been already once devastated by an untimely loss: the loss of my mother Anne Marie to a rare disease in 2014 just a matter of weeks after her diagnosis.   The joy of my son’s birth was, of course, complicated by my also very unexpected breast cancer diagnosis just a matter of hours before going into labor with him. During this time, my dad did what he did best, which was to save the day. As soon as he heard about my diagnosis, he simply got into the car and started driving to New York -- making it through the tunnel just as my  son was born…on the day that happened to be his own birthday, as well.   In the tumultuous time of a simultaneous new cancer diagnosis and new baby, my dad was the sole reason for our stability, rushing in to help care for our son, and returning to do so again for my double mastectomy, reconstructive surgery, and any time that we ever needed him. It was an awful, awful year… but I found so much joy and hope throughout it by watching the beauty of a very special relationship form between my son and my father. This horrible thing that was happening was creating such a very special bond between the two of them -- almost making the terrible thing worth it -- and I was so excited to see how that bond would grow.   The bond was of top priority for my father, who visited from Michigan often. I saw him last on the Monday before he died, and my son was so proud to help his grandfather push his suitcase down to the car as he left. The goodbyes were quick. Why wouldn’t they be? We would all see each other again at the beginning of June, when we would all head to Texas for my shows and to see my grandpa. We wanted to make sure that my son could spend as much time as he could with his great-grandfather. He is, after all, 93.   I was certainly not over the trauma of my cancer or having to amputate the breasts I so badly wanted to feed my son with, but the one thing I could always count on to get me through my worst moments was seeing my son’s and my father’s faces light up when they saw each other, be it during the visits or our routine morning and bedtime FaceTime calls.   That is, at least, until I had to hear over the phone from a doctor I had never met in an emergency room in the same town up north that I’d previously announced to my father that I was pregnant that my dad was dead; I would never see him again, and neither would my son. It would turn out that last year was not the hard one, after all. Rather, it was the one I would now do anything to relive. I would amputate my breasts every year just to be able to speak with him one more time, even for five minutes.   I am currently living an unimaginable horror. For many people, this is a tragic story. For me, it’s my life. I do not know how I will recover from it. I only know that I have to for the sake of what is left of my family.

I am being targeted by the Iranians, according to the FBI. Just putting this on the record in case I am murdered by these Islamic savages.

@ClayTravis @clayandbuck Hannibal at Canae

Fun debate on @clayandbuck, what is the greatest military maneuver in American history? I went Lee splitting his army and sending Jackson on a flank attack at Chancellorsville. For the military history nerds out there, what’s your answer?

@ClayTravis Trump Hater fuck that

Steve Kerr now admits he was wrong not to support democracy in Hong Kong & says he stayed quiet to avoid upsetting the NBA. Credit for admitting he was wrong & open invite to Kerr for a long form talk on this & more.

@AnnCoulter Darwinism

It was high fuel costs that was the final death knell for Spirit -- caused by a pointless war that has left everyone worse off.

@megynkelly @LuluGNavarro Antichrist lie?

@LuluGNavarro It was excellent!

I answered some questions about how this interview with Tucker Carlson came about. We’ve been wanting to interview Carlson for awhile, and it was already scheduled before his Easter episode where he broke with President Trump. We often plan our interviews months in advance. nytimes.com/2026/05/02/ins…

The trend keeps going

@dagenmcdowell So sorry to hear

My Dad has been gravely ill this year and is now under hospice care. Family first.
