Intro for October 20, 2026

Dear Gossips, I am a locked-down biohazard right now, laid out by the flu before the flu shot is even available but I'm only telling you this because something helped with the cough and congestion yesterday. It was the most fun I've had since this thing came on last Friday – 18 minutes of pure delight the way only Cardi B can bring it. Her Tiny Desk broke my fever. And it's unanimous, a slamdunk, 10s across the board. This is Cardi operating at the highest frequency. The arrangements, the transitions from song to song, her breath control, the ad libs, the ENERGY! It's been six months . . .
