Edward Cabrera trade, Cubs signing of Alex Bregman, and Brett's Cubs Convention experience.
There comes a time in everyone woman's life when she must decide if she is getting on the party bus or not. In this case, the party bus is a metaphor for the whole concept of bachelorette parties and all the nonsense and spiraling costs that are associated with the whole tradition. The party bus is also, in fact, a party bus, because how could you get the girls together for the Bride's Last Ride without an intermediate size bus loaded down with booze?
'Old age,' Bette Davis once said, 'is not for wimps.' There's nothing wimpy about the formidable team of Terry Prone (77) and Fergus Finlay (75). The communications doyenne and the former Barnados CEO are about to launch Grey Matters, a new podcast which is billed as 'a long overdue conversation about ageing'.
He was secretary of state for international development when he launched an unsuccessful bid to become Tory leader in 2019. Later that year, he resigned from the party to stand as an independent in the London mayoral elections. He co-hosts the podcast The Rest Is Politics and is the author of prize-winning and bestselling books including The Places in Between and Politics on the Edge. His latest is Middleland.
Then unflattering images of Kirk's former colleagues at Turning Point USA whom Owens has suggested were involved in a conspiracy against him as well as Ben Shapiro and Tim Pool are shown. Owens also followed up a shot of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of murdering Kirk, with one of Lee Harvey Oswald, John F. Kennedy's assassin, in a hardly subtle suggestion that they were both patsies.
If you're wondering who Katie Miller is and why high-level officials keep going on her podcast: She made a name for herself during the first Trump administration by denying that the Department of Homeland Security was separating families. This year, she was an adviser to the Department of Government Efficiency, a brilliant effort that did not in fact save money but certainly did destroy a lot of goods and services!
Calm victories after the storm, insight into West Ham, and just how bad did it get for Pep and the players last season?

Day Job cofounder Rion Harmon described the vision: a "cacophony of logos" slapped all over the screen (a nod to Formula 1 racecars), a "country club" forest green, and a VHS visual effect.
Toward the end of the episode, Travis makes an interesting statement to Clooney. "You claim you and your wife haven't got in a fight in 10 years," he says. Immediately, Clooney nods. "That's right," he says. "Are you lying?" Travis says. "No, I'm not lying," Clooney says, which makes Jason and Travis laugh. "Travis, shall we ask you the same question?" "Well, it's only been two and a half years, and you're right, I haven't gotten into an argument," Travis said. "Never once."
And when the people who live right next door are engaging in potentially chaotic behavior-like blowing their leaves onto the street in front of our place, or attaching something to the shared fence with screws that poke through the wood on our side-I put all my energy into convincing myself that I didn't see anything. Sure, I'm conflict avoidant, but I'm also a Scorpio. If I allow myself to notice my neighbors' offenses... baby, you've got a feud going!
At first blush, a form like reality TV and a show like The Bachelor might seem like an odd subject for a show about breaking the rules. How is it even possible to cheat on a show where the mechanics of competition are simply trying to get the lead to like you? The more cynical-minded might ask, Isn't this all scripted by producers anyway?
I grew up with three brothers. Several canon events in the '90s shaped our dynamic to this day. There was a certain game of Risk. There was the day mom relinquished her Hi8 video camera to us with no strings attached. A bike accident here, a rock thrown down the stairs there. I'll never forget (nor forgive) the "snowball fight" with algae at the river. While we were careening through these incidents, most of the time we were unaware that we were making history.
Part 1, which you can find below, was in theory dedicated to the question of which teams this season are cool. I say in theory because we had to first get through an extended Luka Garza segment, a lengthy appreciation of Tyrese Maxey and V.J. "MJ Edgecombe" Edgecombe, and a brief look at the dire state of the New Orleans Pelicans.
Is Lewis Black okay? That's the natural fear many fans had when the comedian who has been mad-as-hell-and-not-going-to-take-it-anymore for decades announced that he actually wasn't going to do it anymore. The now 77-year-old stand-up legend has retired from touring, and his recent Goodbye Yeller Brick Road performances were his last. But Black, the longest-serving contributor to The Daily Show, whose appearances started back in 1996 when Craig Kilborn (remember him?) was still the host, is not finished with comedy.
During the red carpet for the GQ Man of the Year party ( note: this is not a party for the Lorde song), How Long Gone podcast hosts Jason Stewart and Chris Black asked Colbert the questions we were dying to know the answers to, like how much money he has in his 401k after retiring ("By retiring, you mean firing") and if he was going to grow a beard like David Letterman ("I am going to stop waxing from the neck down.").
We're back, baby! And we're kicking off our ninth season of Normal Gossip by gabbing it up with Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai! In this episode, Rachelle and Malala dig into such questions as whether it's a good idea to let your college roommate plan a "dirt cheap" trip to Europe for you, whether hitchhiking is an important life experience, and whether comparing hand sizes always means you want to bone.
