In case you missed any of the highlights last week, here they are: Sean Hannity was Michael Cohen’s secret third client, also he’s a real estate mogul apparently, Kendrick Lamar won the Pulitzer, Barbara Bush died, Mitt Romney didn’t get the Utah Senate nomination, Elon Musk did something weird probably, I don’t know, Westworld returned for another season of being terrible, Trump’s apparently been calling Sessions and Rosenstein “Mr. Magoo” and “Mr. Peepers,” respectively, good things appear to be happening on the North Koreafront, and God of War came out. It’s fun! But I’m an assistant comedy editor, not an assistant games editor, so that’s all I’ll say about that. And now the tweets everyone’s clamoring to see:
INTERVIEWER: Where did you get the idea for “Chewbacca”?

I love that Donald Trump has like, 3 loser friends and he just keeps giving them jobs. He’s like the Adam Sandlerof presidents. https://t.co/21Pw0lQKzb
As a New Yorker, I am a bodega sandwich. I am a subway rat. I am a goat cheese wheel from Murray’s. I am a saw mill in Albany. I am the Corning glass museum. I am lichen on the gorges of Ithaca. I am an incomprehensible New School philosophy thesis. I am a Martin Scorsesemovie. https://t.co/tgPL9jq6dK
Mad Men was great and all, but I’m a huge fan of Jon Hamm’s second career popping into whatever comedy shoots near his house so he can play one of the dumbest people ever to live.
Been reading that Jordan Peterson book, and to give you a taste of his prose style, he refers to Homer Simpson as “the infamous father of the Simpson clan”.
Retracting my earlier, incorrect statement that the Pulitzer Prize for Music is awarded to “a recording that solved a crime or mystery, directly led to the solving of a crime or mystery, or was about an attempt to solve a crime or mystery.” I was thinking of the Podcast Pulitzer.
