The Daily Late Nightly Show (Jessica Williams’ Last Show)

Her final turn is a field report that will “focus on a group of former Bernie Sanders supporters who are now supporting Donald Trump. She promises it’s going to be “really funny,” and will provide a “nice farewell.”” Well, good. I thought it was kind of cold last night when Trevor didn’t mention her at …

A Kodak Moment

So it was 1945, in the summer, and Eastman Kodak started getting some strange complaints. You see, in addition to Kodachrome and mass market films used by amateur and professional photographers, they also did work in Medicine, inventing and producing X-Ray plates (not that it’s the only market, they’re also used in in manufacturing to …

The Worst Case Scenario!

As defined by Andrew Ross Sorkin. Note: this really has very little to do with Brexit at all. I suspect Bill Black who’s been writing about it a lot these last few days (I’m planning an extended summary soon) just put his fingers on automatic. The EU’s Failed Neo-Liberal Policies and BREXIT by William Black, …

The Daily Late Nightly Show (Jessica Williams Leaves The Daily Show)

It’s true. Williams is 26 years old and has been with the show for 4 years. She’s leaving to develop her own show at Comedy Central “about somebody in their 20s who has all these social ideas, but still does not have it together.” “I know that often for me, as a black woman of …

New York Stories

I’ve been past the park Eric Garner was murdered in. It’s not much really, just a dinky little triangle between 3 streets across from a convenience store with a few trees, some benches, and grass that has seen too many feet. New York’s police secrecy law: de Blasio fights to keep NYPD abuse records from …

Two Takes on Europe

The twilight of the elites due to their incompetence and arrogance is something I’ve highlighted for years. The first take is from our old friend David Dayen (we knew him back when as dday). The second is from Pravda, the company paper of D.C., if anything a bastion of the Center-Right Village. Who’s to Blame …

The New Roe v Wade

In a 5-3 decision yesterday the United States Supreme Court affirmed the right of a woman to safe abortion. Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt (pdf) may well be the most significant ruling since Roe v Wade in 1973. Writing for a 5-3 majority, Justice Stephen Breyer said the two Texas laws at issue in the …
