[Back when I was a kid, that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character.]

In the 80's and 90's when I was a kid, a lot of shitty things were "okay" in the sense that we didn't get into trouble for being shitty, insecure teenage boys.

We stopped being shitty, insecure little boys, Megyn. We grew up.

You ought to try it. It's easier. You stop caring about what other people do if it doesn't hurt you or innocent people. You care about other people's feelings and don't want to make the world worse for folks. You stop caring what the insecure bullies think. They're miserable and small people and life is too short to be miserable and small.

It’s astounding to me how so many public figures have such a complete inability to deliver a genuine apology. But it’s usually because they truly are not sorry. They’re just sorry they got called out. This I attribute to being so insulated from real life, living in a bubble of cushy comfort.

She’s always been a horrible person and her jealousy is evident through the screen.

Thanks for this, incisive as always.

I'm curious whether (and which) "conservative" commentators who have been exiled from network TV will see a drop in relevance vs a consolidation of their reach and influence as cord-cutting and generational changeover proceeds. As others have pointed out, Joe Rogan's audience now dramatically exceeds Kimmel, Colbert, and whoever else *combined*. I'm wondering whether Bannon, Tucker, Kelly, et al have truly receded from relevance versus continued to build and command platforms that are less publicly visible.

Kelly's endless grievance is her MAGA ID card, one she shares with her leader and a majority of other followers. these people are never, ever responsible for their own falls—no, they are always innocent, always the victims of shadowy deep state or antifa or Soros or whatever. Kelly and her folks will forever, no matter the reality, believe themselves uniquely targeted and rejected for their disgusting utterance.

It must be nice to get paid $69 million to go away like Frau Blackface. Now she's got a nice cushy home in the rightwing media human centipede. She didn't even have to go back to doing law (yes, I learned recently she was a *lawyer!*

Miserable hag Megyn Kelly has spent the last few years futilely trying to get MAGA to love her, but she'll always be known by cult as the traitor who showed "bias" towards Daddy Trump during a presidential debate.

She has desperation coming out of her...whatever. It's rather sad.
