The Drawing Room With Mo Welch

Comedian Mo Welch has a new show on PBS called The Drawing Room, where she interviews people while she draws them (and her guests draw her). What a great idea for a show.

Each episode is only 10-12 minutes long. The lineup of guests for the rest of the season include Demi Adejuyigbe, Tig Notaro, Adam Conover, and Aparna Nancherla.

Tesla’s Elon Musk is having a generational meltdown

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has spent 2026 turning his X feed into a problem no investor relations team can fix. His posts have escalated from trolling into open white nationalism, and this week his AI company sued the state of Minnesota to block a law targeting nonconsensual sexual deepfakes.

The board of a public company would have fired the CEO for just a fraction of the stuff Musk is posting these days. However, Tesla is not a normal company. Shareholders have given full control to Musk and now, they have to live with it.

Why Democrats Won’t Stop Forcing Votes On the War

New York Times: “It looked like an exercise in futility, not only because similar efforts have failed repeatedly — the vote was 50 to 49 on Thursday, similar to last week’s — but because one such resolution actually succeeded last month, winning approval in both the House and Senate only to have Mr. Trump ignore […]
