“A final preview of a new, chilling tell-all on the final days of the Trump presidency. Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, the two Washington Post journalists’ book, Peril, details events in the White House between the 2020 election and the 6 January insurrection at the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob. After reading the book, I think the title isn’t strong enough. I suggest renaming it ‘AAAAGGH!’” —Stephen Colbert
“Peril is full of things you wish you didn’t need to know, such as that chairman of the joint chiefs of staff Mark Milley was worried Trump might launch a nuclear strike to distract from the election, and that Trump’s legal team laid out a six-step plan for Mike Pence to overturn the election as vice-president. It’s disturbing, but it’s easy to see why they gave the job to Pence. Everyone knows the former president has a hard time taking six steps.” —Stephen Colbert
“In other news, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced a $1 Billion donation from his Bezos Earth Fund to protect 30% of Earth’s land and sea, which sounds like a lot until you realize he’s worth $200 Billion. Why not spend another $3 Billion and protect 100% of the earth’s land and sea? Of course, what he doesn’t mention is he’s protecting the earth from himself. Is it possible to destroy the planet and save it at the same time? Jeff Bezos: the only guy who’s so rich that when you hear he donated a billion dollars to charity you’re like, ‘what a cheap bastard.’” —Jimmy Kimmel

“A magisterial collection. A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night
of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
