He has not abdicated
Nor has he been usurped

Tears of Themis Incorrect Quote #1
Artem: I have violent thoughts when people use the terms "sci-fi" and "fantasy" interchangeably. "Oh, I love science fiction. I just read Lord of the Rings". I will end you.

“He was playing in New York actually— this is before he really blew up; and I went backstage to meet him and we became texting friends at that moment. [Harry] texts me a few weeks later, ‘Would you call my mom and wish her a happy birthday?’, I’m like ‘Of course, sure.’ [Harry explains] ‘My mom was a big influence on me and she’s why I grew up with your music.’ “[I call] her up, wish her a happy birthday, and Harry and I have been friends every since.”
-Shania Twain on the story of how Harry and her became friends. (6 January 2023)

Remember that DVD set I found on eBay with old TDS and TCR episodes? I finally watched it!
Here's the packaging:
The individual packaging is really nicely designed and made me so nostalgic for this era of Comedy Central:
Each disc had two episodes of the show on them. I'm guessing these corresponded to their various Emmy submissions.
The episodes were from the 2005-2006 season, so no John, but delightful all the same. For starters, The Colbert Report disc has the first fucking episode of the show.
YEAH. THE FIRST EPISODE.
The Daily Show will always have a very special place in my heart, but man, The Colbert Report was something else. The character was basically fully realized from jump street. I'm so glad I have this DVD.
The Daily Show was also fun to watch - the first episode was a pretty standard TDS episode (to the point where I don'treally recall what was covered), but the second one dealt with Dick Cheney shooting someone in the face and was much, much more memorable.
Jon was so young!
In contrast, as my mom and partner both said totally independently of each other, Ed Helms has looked the same for about 20 years. (Paging @weirdlittleberry)
I also think literally every correspondent but Rob Riggle wore this tan trenchcoat at some point during TDS' run with Jon Stewart.
In any case, this was a great bit of physical media to add to my small but growing TDS/TCR/LWT pile.

COLBERT (peeking): “Do you take notes?”
MARISHA: “I do — I am a voracious notetaker.”
COLBERT: “And what… how does that help?”
MA-REE-SHA:
The little verbal wink to the Critters about Marisha always being the one with the best notes, and then the immediate and unknowing shade that Colbert threw back at her for it 😂😂💀💀 i’m wheezing

An episode of the Comedy Central series Stephen Colbert's Tooning Out The News has the latest from Martin, who says — sounding fairly sincere about it — that he’s written around 1,100 to 1,200 pages of the book so far, and just has “another 400, 500 pages” to go.
- Grrm, George R.R. Martin says he only has another 500 pages to write on Winds of Winter, Polygon

I just saw a great interview with Ruby Bridges on Colbert. The white charcoal I’ve been playing with reminded me of chalk on a blackboard. I also used Gelly Roll white gel pen.

“You’ve got Donald Trump on your side; we had Boris Johnson on our side: the Tweedledum and Tweedledee of pants-on-fire politics.”

I've seen a lot of places where people just disappear. Where their bodies literally disintegrate into the sand or into the earth and there's no photograph of them that their family has and there's no marker for them, of where they died, and I think it's a terrible thing to be slaughtered in a war, but to be eviscerated and not have anybody even notice your passing is particularly haunting to me. And I believe in bearing witness to the dignity of people here and also the indignity that is being done to people here.
Anderson Cooper, reporting from Lviv, Ukraine (08 March 2022)
