My new Talk of the Town is about the delightful teen Islanders star Matthew Schaefer, who manages to be a fun-loving kid and mature beyond his years at the same time. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

In my new Talk of the Town, Debbie Gibson returns to a childhood haunt, the Metropolitan Opera House, which is vividly evoked in an early chapter of her new memoir. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

This summer, I went to Copenhagen to report on an international massage competition, which was even more amazing than you might imagine. The excellent photographs are by Tobias Nicolai. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

"First, Democrats have the most powerful congressional opposition to a governing party in modern history. Speaker Mike Johnson can’t spare a single Republican vote in the House right now." Start acting like it? New from former congressman Tom Malinowski: www.thebulwark.com/p/five-thing...

Melania’s wide-brimmed hat serves as an anti-husband shield

On top of everything else, this whole display feels like an insult to marching band music

As I reflect on the life and work of the great David Lynch, I’m also reminded that in the nineties my dad used to think it was funny to call me and say “This is Bobby Peru“

I’m saying it: watching the Rangers is fun again! At least for right now! #NYR

It’s one of those nights when I’m reminded that Sherlock Holmes once solved a mystery by observing scratches around a keyhole

My dad just called with a pressing question, which was Did you write “HI!” in the dirt on the glass door, at cat height?

In podcasts, as everywhere else lately, volatility abounds—yet beauty and wonder abound, too. From Dan Taberski’s “Hysterical” to Benjamen Walker’s “Not All Propaganda Is Art,” @asarahlarson.bsky.social shares her picks for the best podcasts of 2024.

PHEW! #NYR

Anybody else peeling potatoes right now?

Instead of “Goodbye,” my dad just yelled “Party on, Wayne!” to our polite but confused Gen Z waiter

Well, well, well! IT’S RAINING! 🌨️

The Onion should buy it

I just heard, from a nearby air shaft, the sound of a neighbor’s air conditioner being turned on

9th St: guy greets friend with “WHO IS THAT SEXY MIDDLE-AGED MAN?”

Just shared a chuckle with an idling young motorist blasting T’Pau out of his car windows

Some of my neighbors scream with anger and some of my neighbors scream with glee. Sometimes at the same time.

I don’t love this “getting scored on in the first minute” trend #NYR

About to switch channels … I feel a bit guilty, but I think Leonardo da Vinci would’ve appreciated hockey

Linda McMahon is the first pick I heard about and actually thought it was a joke.

I love when the Rangers score in another city and you hear a huge cheer #NYR

Bluesky right now feels a little like all the Whos gathering to sing after the Grinch stole their floofloovers and jingtinglers.

Jake Paul fight RFK Jr. next

NOW it feels like home here

Once again, my neighbors' fun is destroying my own fun

Last week, a friend and I went to Washington, where we spent Election Night at Howard University and the next morning on a White House tour. I wrote about the tour, and a pep talk from a Secret Service agent, in this week's Talk of the Town. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

A couple minutes in I thought Hey, we weren't scored on in the first minute! Then, immediately ... #NYR

Currently trying to enjoy the little things, like this week's Rangers games against the Jets and the Sharks www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9z3...

Hey, everybody!
