David Spade Can't Believe How 'SNL' Cast Talks to Lorne Michaels Now

David Spade is freaking floored that the current cast of SNL just casually texts Lorne Michaels and don’t even address him as “sir.” (THR)

That time a young Jimmy Carter helped stop a nuclear disaster. (Wonkette)

From Jen: My kid would be like “I just want fries please,” but this is so great. (Threads)

The media is sugar-coating Matthew Livelsberger’s political minifestos. (TPM)

From Chris: Does anyone else remember this early-mid internet classic? “He’s a globe-trotting moralistic filmmaker with a robot buddy named Sparky. She’s a sharp-shooting extravagent soap star looking for love in all the wrong places.” (They Fight Crime!)

Brett Ratner is directing a… Melania Trump documentary? OK. (The Wrap)

Faintingviolet was thrilled to have another opportunity to start her reading year with a book by Lizzie Huxley-Jones, Under the Mistletoe with You. “It features the quick banter that shone so beautifully in Make You Mine This Christmas, and the friend group chat was a good way to…give the reader another angle on Christopher. It’s also chock full of representation.” Do you try to start the year with authors you know you enjoy? (Cannonball Read 17)
