“My advice to media consumers is to take responsibility for your behavior. Everything that they want and need is out there and they have to stop thinking that media is just cable news. You know, it’s usually when people are hysterical over something, it’s because of cable news, which has disproportionate impact for its tiny numbers. Really. And so my view is that if you don’t like cable news, you can go through your life and be incredibly informed and never watch it.”

I think the interns
suffer from a severe form of social awkwardness and nervousness.

- Mom: I hope someone will drink the rest of my grapefruit juice.
- Me: Don't worry, I'll make Popsicles out of it.
- Mom: Well, it's also good with vodka in it. Just so you know.

This has been on repeat in my head, and that’s more than fine.
“I was a father now. All day and all night of every week of every month of every year since becoming one, I’d felt surrounded by love, responsible to it, careful not to hurt it, and so grateful to get it. To punch another man in the face was to punch another father, was to punch some father’s son.”
