Why do CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News not broadcast 24-7 fire coverage in the same way they do hurricanes? Why isn't Anderson Cooper in a windbreaker walking around the remains of Paradise, CA? I think it's East Coast bias, but please convince me otherwise. (Don't be annoying, though!)

Jack, I'm blocking trolls at a rate of 50 per hour, so time has slowed down for me as well.
Been playing with fasting for some time. I do a 22 hour fast daily (dinner only), and recently did a 3 day water fast. Biggest thing I notice is how much time slows down. The day feels so much longer when not broken up by breakfast/lunch/dinner. Any one else have this experience?

John Mulaney also dropped Dave Becky, the manager villain of the Louis CK story, switching to someone else at 3 Arts. Other than Pamela Adlon, he's (AFAIK) the only high-profile comedian to do so. (Please do tell me if I'm wrong! Maybe there was a VERY QUIET exodus I didn't see.)
When you tell your grandchildren about this day, remember to explain to them that John Mulaney was first.
