@WilliamShatner At 95, you could still come down with lung cancer, TB or COPD
Be careful what you put out there especially when you’re don living your life

@walterkirn I listened to it. That guy appears to be the worse kind of talking head.

The FDA is transforming how we monitor product safety. Beginning today, the new Adverse Event Monitoring System (AEMS) replaces a patchwork of costly databases with one unified, real-time platform.
This infrastructure overhaul will reduce costs by $120M over five years, while providing real-time public access to critical safety data. fda.gov/news-events/pr…

@meaghan_garvey @countyhwy Why did county Hwy repost this? Traverse city is the greatest place on planet earth, in July. Spring break is a mess. Cold and snowy.
Say hi to Walter for me. I miss America this week.

@walterkirn @mtaibbi How about a podcast? You could even do book reviews.

An ATW like program with @mtaibbi and yours truly might work as a show for the new CNN if indeed a new CNN emerges.

The sense I get from watching my first ever hockey game is that the championship games are incredibly exciting in a way that Super Bowls often aren’t, but some random regular season hockey game would be excruciatingly boring in a way that random regular season football games rarely are. True or false?

@DesireeAmerica4 Sad - but not without precedent.
Buffalo is the only NY team that actually plays in New York.

Say goodbye to a 100-year tradition.
It’s a sad morning for local Bears fans, but the writing is finally on the wall.
While Illinois politicians were canceling meetings today, Indiana just held a vote and won 24-0 to make Hammond the official site for a new $2 billion stadium.
The team is officially "committed" to a vision at Wolf Lake. They’re taking a 106-year-old Chicago legacy and moving it across a state line because one side was "open for business" and the other couldn't get out of the huddle.
Imagine a Sunday in Hammond. Same colors, same team, but the soul of the city stayed in Cook County. A century of history just became a casualty of politics.
Imagine the first home game in Indiana. The "Chicago" Bears playing in a different zip code because the politics at home got too toxic. The Midwest just changed forever.

@walterkirn @mtaibbi My wife and I read audio books together each night. After we finish the books we listen to your review. I get a little emotional listening to you guys.
You had something unique and special. I always figured you did it because you loved it. Like a hobby.
Who does book reviews?

One solace to me after the end of America This Week is that the archives of my conversations with @mtaibbi , both the live shows and the taped shows, will always be there as a record or log of what we've all been through these last few years.

@MsMelChen This is why I was excited to buy a Durango this summer. It’s essentially the same vehicle they’ve had since 2010. There’s been updates and tech creature comforts updates. But it still comes with a V8 and it’s grandfathered in to not having auto stop-start and other annoying stuff

Does anyone actually enjoy driving a new car? I recently had to rent one and my god, the experience of driving it was total horse shit.
I can't be the only one. There must be arbitrage opportunities for anyone who only sells / rents cars made between the golden age of 1980s - 2002. Even a car made 10 years ago is SIGNIFICANTLY better than a brand new one.
Seriously, stop scrapping old cars! They are gems. I thought we were in for a pleasant drive on winding country roads nestled in the Tuscan mountains in a supposedly top-of-the-line Alfa Romeo. Instead, on this type of road, the whistles and beeps are just incessant and the steering interventions which are mandatory features that can't be turned off, are downright DANGEROUS.
I don't want lane departure warnings, I don't want lane keep assists that lock my steering wheel into place. I don't want my car to angrily hiss at me every time I go above the bloody speed limit. I don't want automatic braking because I know better than the car.
And yes, "everything is computer" these days and IT SUCKS THE SOUL OUT OF DRIVING. I don't want to fiddle with huge touch screens on the dashboard when physical knobs are just easier and safer to deal with. I don't want the transmission computer and engine computer and cooling system to continuously be in an existential crisis and sometimes, inexplicably, fails to respond, respond incorrectly, or just outright fails. I don't want smaller and smaller engines in cars that are made with significantly more plastic by weight and volume in the name of fuel efficiency. I don't want a utilitarian hunk of plastic with advanced infotainment and spyware on wheels that is a total piece of CRAP.
Whenever people tell me that technology just makes everything better I just scoff because it's not true for automobiles. Maybe that makes me a dinosaur or whatever but I will cling to my old gas guzzling clunkers from decades ago for as long as I can.

It’s articles like this one that made me a fan of Matt’s writing so many years ago.
Skipping one fancy coffee a month gives you full access to all of his brilliant writing and commentary with the equally gifted linguist @walterkirn.
It’s worth every penny and more.

@walterkirn It’s much of the Midwest. We left Michigan, its heart breaking.

What has happened to the wonderful state where I grew up is among the most shameful, grievous, cynical political crimes of our time.
I will never forgive it.
What a bitter lesson.

You want to know why we're leaving Minnesota? Why we never even considered opening our business here? Why we've encouraged our son to leave as well, because we see every sign the Twin Cities is only getting worse? Just watch this. You'll understand. youtube.com/watch?v=vV1tZo…
