"A brief history of Elon Musk being a humongous jerk," which in some cases, specially Covid related, is of course an understatement.

The youngish author's argument that SNL still exists because it's important to Boomers (a ruling "gerontocracy" ) doesn't hold up for us. We almost never watch because we typically regret it when we try and agree with the author about its typical mediocrity and that its ability to corrupt people (left or right depending on direction of outrage) is mostly imaginary.
