We’re back and talking about just another week in 2026. There was a pretty cool Super Bowl halftime show and then a weird, sad low energy show that competed with it. Pam Bondi had a public meltdown, trying to get people to forget about the fact that Donald Trump appeared in the Epstein files about a million times. Gallup decided they would stop selling their premier product because it hurt Trump‘s feelings. The border patrol actually shut down a major airport for an evening because it launched military weapons at a child’s balloon, and measles continues to rage in South Carolina in Florida despite all this, the latest episode of the Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was great, and The Beauty is another good show worth a watch. All this and more, and we’re still going on about that. Recorded on February 12, 2026.
