“The only story that everybody’s talking about right now is Tiger King, the new Netflix series that’s somehow even more viral than Covid-19. The five-hour docu-series taking over conversations across America is the most fascinating show you’ve ever seen. It exposes the sordid and loopy world of exotic animal breeding in America, while also answering the question: what would happen if meth smoked itself?” —Trevor Noah
“Now, every American is grateful for all of our heroic medical workers, and we want to make sure they get all the supplies they need. All of us want that. Well, except for this one guy. (cutting to a video of Trump wondering if masks were disappearing “out the back door”.) Really? Accusing medical workers of stealing masks? That’s like frisking Mother Teresa on her way out of the orphanage.” —Stephen Colbert
“Meanwhile states are anxious over dwindling medical supplies such as masks, gloves and ventilators, yet Trump, because he can’t ever be at fault for anything, has suggested that someone at the hospitals must be stealing them. Did you see Trump’s press conference in which he wondered if masks were ‘going out the back door?’ What on earth? Is he implying that after work, these nurses get off their 12-hour shifts and steal masks so they can go sand a deck in their backyard? You know when you overhear something at another table at a restaurant that’s so crazy you want to say something, but your wife tells you not to and then you think about it all night? Our president is the guy sitting at that table.” —Jimmy Kimmel
“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
