Elon Musk says now regrets his caustic comments about Trump. And we now regret…Elon Musk (and his craziness)

Just ate a dry bagel at the airport. Turns out if I wanted butter I had to add it for $4

On my flight, captain just announced: “A Saudia jet just took the runway at an angle and blew a bunch of rocks at us, breaking our window.” Deplaning… What a metaphor for our times

From our "You Can't Make This Up" Department: Trump set to attend opening night of "Les Misérables" at Kennedy Center tonight. Which character will he be?
