Have you ever taken one of those naps from which you wake up with no idea where you are? Maybe you've only been conked out for ten minutes, but on the other side of it, you're like a soap-opera amnesiac in distress: Where am I? Who am I? Eventually you see something—your rug, your coffee table, your spouse—that draws you slowly back into the real world. Ah, you sigh, I am in my home. This is my life. I recognize this.
I had one of those naps in late January, and when I woke up, I was in my stateroom on The 90s Cruise, featuring Blues Traveler, Gin Blossoms, Digital Underground, and more. I was somewhere between Tampa and Cozumel, on a body of water still mostly called the Gulf of Mexico, and if I didn't get out the door in a hurry, I was going to miss Cupcake Decorating with Lisa Loeb. I'm here to tell you that life hasn't felt normal since. |

In the various press events in the Oval Office, such as the one this week with El Salvador's sexy-beast president Nayib Bukele, Marco Rubio generally looks as though he's sitting in a recliner made of vipers. Now, according to Politico, Rubio has riled the wrath of MAGA. "Peter Marocco, the Trump administration official in charge of dismantling USAID, left a meeting at the White House last week to return to his office at the State Department. But when he arrived, Marocco could not enter the building: security told him he was no longer an employee there," Politico reported. "Loud voices on the right piled on Secretary of State Marco Rubio, accusing him of undermining their disruptive agenda." |

"I wish I could make more sense of it for you," Gabriel Luna tells me. The 42-year-old actor and I are grappling with season 2, episode 2 of the HBO hit The Last of Us, "Through the Valley," which premiered Sunday night. The episode sees Luna's character, Tommy, step up to the frontlines of Jackson as an onslaught of infected breach the community's walls. If there's any episode of The Last of Us that matches the scale, spectacle, and suspense that Game of Thrones achieved on HBO years back, it's this one. But try as Luna might, even he can't fathom how it all happened. Still, he tries. |
