I've been saving this one episode of Wild Card...the @DAVID_LYNCH epsiode. I've listened to every single other one so I guess it's time. Thank you @rachelnpr and team for making such a great show!

Hey - thanks Bendy! I loved that convo too. She's a gem of a human.

Way late to this but really enjoyed @rachelnpr’s Wild Card ep w Taylor Tomlinson. Nice to hear a comic I only know as boisterous sound so comfortable and human-scale (but still funny) in an interview. npr.org/2024/06/20/124413091…

Fringe benefit of Biden’s departure from the race - Dems get a major do-over with messages etc.
25 Jul 2024
The “freedom” message is one that many Dems have argued works better than calls to ‘protect democracy.’

The Tyler Cowen piece linked here is worth reading.
17 Jul 2024
Something feels deeply true about this @tylercowen post even though I have no idea how I could prove it, or if it can be proven, or what it actually portends. The political-cultural vibe shift of the last three weeks just *feels* quite immense. It reminds me weirdly of the months after the 2016 election when it felt like the entire non-conservative commentariat became quasi-socialist at the same time, but obviously in the opposite direction. I’m not making a prediction. I’m just noting a feeling. I feel it, Tyler does too, and my guess is more than a few other people feel the same way. marginalrevolution.com/margi…

SO SOON. I promise.

@rachelnpr When will "Wild Card" be a table top card game? (I'm thinking something very basic like a box of cards, maybe divided up by the categories. Or maybe more like Trivial Pursuit where all the categories are on one card?) I feel like I have a project...

"Lewis’ most floundering example of damage control has to be his slandering of Folkenflik, [who] has a reputation for being relentlessly sensible and accurate... So when Lewis smears him, it can only arouse curiosity about his motives." politico.com/news/magazine/2…

.@patsajak 2 me in 2013 "How do I take show number 5,286 & 3 more housewives from Teaneck, N.J. nice people who have a little story to tell, and have 2 kids. I treat each entity as an imp piece of TV. I don't treat it as show number 5,280. I treat it as my job, for that moment."

"Drop the story - get the interview." Wow indeed.
Wow. @davidfolkenflik: “In several conversations, Lewis repeatedly — and heatedly —offered to give me an exclusive interview about the Post’s future, as long as I dropped the story about the allegations.” npr.org/2024/06/06/nx-s1-499…

This is the thing that made me happy today.

I loved my conversation with music producer Jack Antonoff who told me he has no room for cynicism in his life after his sister's death. "When you might not have a lot of time on Earth, you don't define yourself by the things you hate." people.com/jack-antonoff-dis…
