Anthony Bourdain’s memoir Kitchen Confidential is one of the best I’ve read. I will be sprinting to the theaters to see this.

Where it all began. Dominic Sessa is Anthony Bourdain in TONY — from director Matt Johnson, in theaters this August.

@ESPNMcGee The SEC pioneered the conference championship game. They should be the first to get rid of it. It’s an extra game only the best teams have to play. But good luck, the networks (ESPN) call those shots.

RE: AFCA recommendations
- 24-team CFP: Hell no.
- No conference title games: I admittedly waffle here. I like them but expanded bracket waters them down.
- Ending mid-January: HELL YES. We spent 25 years working to convince ourselves Jan 9-ish > Jan 1. Now we're playing Jan 25?!

@jamiedupree No doubt any post by President X undermines whatever progress has been made by negotiations and resets back to square 1.

@washingtonpost That’s the old Post. The new Post would never publish the same articles.

The Washington Post won a Pulitzer Prize for public service for coverage of DOGE and the federal workforce. It’s the second time The Post has won the prestigious award in five years.

@brianschatz @jonfavs I was told the project was entirely funded without taxpayer money. Was I mislead the whole time?

@Online1Reader @JakeSherman “None-security elements” is a very broad brush. I was told the entire project was privately funded. Was I mislead and the whole time public money was always going to be spent?

@JakeSherman Regarding the $1 Billion for the "East Wing Modernization Project"
(b) LIMITATION.—None of the funds made available under this section may be used for non-security elements of the East Wing Modernization Project.

@Angry_Staffer You’re falling for the bluff. Almost all states require ID to vote and proof of residency. The new republican laws are for more restrictions on registering to vote.
English
The amount of people defending Blanche saying you have to show ID to walk into a restaurant is really making me question the public education system

@NUCLRGOLF The PGA and CBS pouring cash into a president’s pocket, any president, is despicable.

👀🇺🇸⛳️ #NEW — Jim Nantz — “The President of the United States has arrived at the 18th green to take on some hosting responsibilities and watch the action at this golf course.”

@BarstoolGruden @jakemalasek Holy crap. Looks like Jon Gruden ate Jon Gruden then had Jay for desert.

@michaelscherer @AshleyRParker @alibreland Extremism isn’t normie which is why this post turned out to be irrelevant.
English
Cole Allen and the relatively new phenomenon of normie extremism, in which people who hold otherwise mainstream political views carry out acts of political violence.

@IAmPoliticsGirl There are conspiracy nuts on both ends of the spectrum. Case in point.

@JacobFeldman4 I don’t know. Having my face buried in the scorebook tracking pitches, marking base runners, for me would distract from the game and surroundings especially with the pitch clock. Just me, no shade to anyone who keeps a scorebook.
English
MLB is having a moment for the exact same reason that baseball scorebook makers are seeing sales double.
In our hyper-connected digital age, people are yearning for a bit of the phone-free, slowed down past. An afternoon at the park offers exactly that

@jemelehill “Yo momma” has stood the test of time. Modern day classic.

This is another example showing how Barack Obama is one of the most divisive figures in American politics today. So many of our divisions were caused by the smug, demeaning and narrow-minded way he treats his opponents.
Here, he pretends to not know the truth about the would-be assassin, although the facts of his left wing views were public hours before Obama’s tweet. It’s classic Obama - pretend to be conciliatory while he is the one who creates the divide.
You would hope that Obama would condemn the left after the left tries to kill a President.
But that’s too much to ask.
Once again, Obama proves himself to be a classless divider of our country.

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.
English
@johnrobertsFox JC John maybe you should take a cognitive test. He simply stated what he’s hearing from some attendees. Spare us outrage from a made up statement.
English
This dinner is to support and celebrate the 1st Amendment. Around the world, journalists die in the pursuit of press freedoms. And you're suggesting some journalists don't have enough steel in their spine to go to a dinner?
Brian Stelter@brianstelter
I'm not sure if there's much of an appetite for a WHCA dinner do-over. I'm hearing from attendees who are starting to process what happened on Saturday night and don't necessarily want to show up again in a few weeks.

@MySportsUpdate First, Maria Taylor is a pro. Second, props to Tomlin for actually answering the Rogers question. Most ex-NFL TV analysts would have punted that question.
English
Ex-#Steelers HC Mike Tomlin made his first appearance on NBC tonight to discuss his upcoming role as an analyst on Football Night in America.
Tomlin said at the end that, “gun to my head,” he believes Aaron Rodgers will be the Steelers’ QB next season.
Ari Meirov@MySportsUpdate
Former #Steelers HC Mike Tomlin has reached agreement on a deal to join NBC as a top studio analyst on its Sunday night pregame show, “Football Night in America,” per @AndrewMarchand. nytimes.com/athletic/72152…

@AdamSchefter This is the worst AI slop I have ever seen I have ever seen. What happens to the top of dome? When did the Mall become a forest of lush trees? Did the just get rid the 3rd street next to the capitol reflecting pool?
