Still in the midst of my little breather, I've been hunting around my brain, trying to find something simple to write today. Maybe a hot-take about the president? Kinda feels like it's been done. Maybe a hot-take about the term hot-take and how it's gone from inside-baseball journalist-speak to a term you hear mentioned all over the place, which usage flatters the audience into thinking they're totally in-the-know, which thereby might be contributing to the general diminishment of any sense that there's any kind of authority behind the mastheads of our various news sources? Hmmm, seems like I kinda just did.
I tried texting with Ima Radster to see if he had any ideas, but all he ever responded with was, "YO WHATTUP G-MONEY," which didn't really help.
So I therefore declare myself bereft of ideas.
Look: You try to keep it simple. But do you really want to revert to little self-referential in-jokes, just enough to amuse yourself a little and call them a piece and sign off for the day?
Well, you say, if I must.
