A chunk of text from The New Yorker reading: Conan O’Brien is sixty-two, and he has done, more or less, everything in modern American comedy. President of the Harvard Lampoon. Writer for “Saturday Night Live” and then “The Simpsons.” “Late Night,” starting in 1993. The whole controversy with Jay Leno and the “Tonight Show,” in late 2009. “Conan,” on TBS. A long career in standup. Podcasting. Back in the day, he was a drummer in the Bad Clams. Not a good band, but O’Brien did become a pretty decent guitar player, as you can hear in his performance, with Jack White, of the Eddie Cochran classic “Twenty Flight Rock.” and "A long career in standup." is highlighted

“As Vance and Musk prepare to bring Elez back to his post at DOGE, they might argue that he simply made a mistake and, like it or not, the First Amendment protects all kinds of speech. And they would be right — the First Amendment mostly does. But the Trump administration certainly does not, and the speech they’re personally choosing to protect should tell you everything about how they view the world.”

An internet comment (from the Am I the Asshole subreddit) reading: "Everyone on this sub has actual worms in their brain, worming around. We're all consuming the worms in the form of made up posts and then making more worms by going into the comments posting full conspiracy theories about fake strangers fake lives. I regret every moment I've spent here. I'm obviously not going anywhere."

A Reddit thread with two users: User 1: Like I said it’s not that big of a deal of what her trauma is. User 2: No I want to hear it. Would you have been unfazed by what she went through? I don’t know what happened to that poor girl but dear lord I hope she finds someone better than your ignorant ass User 1: She’s told me that a homeless man snuck into her parents home and hid in her closet and when she woke up she could see his eyes in the dark staring at her. He was, thankfully, arrested and nothing happened to her.
