Deliberately spilling your drink will curtail those disquisitions. Or ask them if they’d like to look at your collection of morgue photos you have saved to your phone.

For once I have to agree with a Fox person. I hate watching CNN and its food fight studpidity when I’m in an airport and Lemon is kindof dumb, but he’s probably a towering intellect compared with the Foxes and a bit more dignified. I still can’t forgive Shephard Smith for weeping at the demise of that bully Ailes.
alas, i had told him who I worked for during the polite exchange he initiated before take off. anything contradiction more mild than “hmm, and yet many scientists point to…” would be letting down the firm re: public relations
There’s probably some fine print about how that doesn’t justify a full refund.

He’s the kind of yammerer you have to finally say look, I was sort of caught up in this in-flight magazine interview of the new conductor of the Cleveland symphony and how he spends his spare time collecting antique Christmas tree ornaments so if you don’t mind…

Did the asshole try to grope you, too?
I kept catching my dad watching that. I figured out how to block the channel. That one and Fox both got blocked. Those freaks aren’t radicalizing my daddy.

And we care about this because…?
Don’t forget the Australian romance novel niche.

that doesn’t always work - I’ve re-opened my book, moved the bookmark after the polite smile…or taken my earbuds out again to pay attention then put them back in right after he stopped talking…

Just say, in French, that you don’t speak English. Or just gaze at him with a distant smile for several beats too long and then belch in his face. You have to be resourceful in this world.

Unfortunately the setup in many (American) airports is such that there’s no place to be out of hearing range, and almost no place where a screen isn’t right in front of you. And most of the time it’s Fox so we’re forced to watch morons like Hegeseth.

The best response might be the old saying: “It takes one to know one.”, but Don Lemon doesn’t deserve to be compared to Pete Hegseth.

can’t bring myself to do it , old chap. what if he turns out to be a board member for the Home For Gentlewomen in Reduced Circumstances? They’d turn down my application.
I remember the anecdote told of a lord who hated dinner table conversation turning to the lady next to him saying
“I have two topics of conversation, drains and cricket. Choose.”

Honestly I rarely see Lemon either. He seems occasionally wifty but pretty sensible for the most part. Poised, affable, a capable newsreader.
Well, we’re just brainstorming here. You need to be comfortable with your options. Are “drains” some British thing that means something else, or did he really mean drains? This may be the new thing I learn today…
