Genuinely wonder if "The Lincoln Lawyer" is something that only exists as a Netflix promo tile that they'll never convince me to actually click on.

Oh, man, just seeing this news. One of the greats, his work has had a huge impact on me. Obvioulsy Welfare and High School, but I've always had a soft spot for Belfast, ME and In Jackson Heights. Thanks for everything.

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

I was not aware of this old saw. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/u...

Granted I had a very strong drink just before watching it, but I thought “The Moment” was absolutely brilliant. Not at all what I expected. Super smart and layered and fun. Hope people see it!

the most beautiful phrase in the English language is “Charli XCX featuring John Cale”

Wrestling has relied on political storylines for as long as there’s been wrestling. But the “Fuck ICE” chants have turned it into something else entirely, and it’s a stark difference between AEW and WWE. W/ @tomscocca.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2026/02/14/b...

Can’t tell you how great it is to subscribe to print delivery of a tri-lingual hyperlocal newspaper. More of this please!

I'm not gonna lie, they had us in the first half...

Fantastic news all around.

Best advertisement I’ve seen so far at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival

Love this. I've been to Judd, Armstrong, and of course Noguchi, one of the city's best places period. Bunch of others now on the list.

About to start this if anyone is interested in joining.

Okay, we've got a serious Alternate-Side-Suspension streak going here. By my count, if you parked your car on Monday afternoon, Jan 12th, in a Monday-cleaning spot... between the snow and holidays, you're not slated to have to move it until Feb 23rd. That's six weeks!

I'll say.

I‘m very glad that the weather‘s warmer in NYC but over the next couple weeks these melting snowbanks will reveal an ungodly amount of dog shit.

After a trial over the last few years, Ireland has launched a permanent scheme giving a basic income of €325 a week for artists. 2,000 will be eligible, and successful recipients will be chosen at random from applicants, who must be "professional artists" (definition tbc).

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

@seanfennessey.bsky.social the Jack Fisk conversation was so so lovely. Thanks for that!

making a list of american institutions that are meeting this moment, and so far I've got burning man and paleontology down here... guess we're rebuilding society around the study of dinosaur bones and doing drugs in the desert

In 1976, the most popular TV program was a re-airing of GONE WITH THE WIND -- in 1977 it was the premiere of ROOTS. That kinda says it all... our two-part look at ROOTS is out this week. First part in the podcast feed, subscribe to the newsletter for full video.

First season of Search Party was an absolute revelation. Super sharp, extremely watchable. Also loved that in future seasons it... went places.

Eagle-eyed watchers of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show would have spied Toñita, the queen of Los Sures, AKA Williamsburg. Read all about Maria Antonia “Toñita” Cay here: hellgatenyc.com/williamsburg...

#BadBunny's performers continued to dance and party outside the stadium after the #SuperBowl #HalftimeShow

Call me old fashioned but I'm of the opinion that the first ad of the Super Bowl (for SCREAM) shouldn't be one that will give everyone under the age of 15 nightmares for weeks.

Before the charity stream began, content creators from @minnmax.com and @giantbomb.bsky.social weren't sure what number to aim for — maybe $30,000 or $50,000. Within 15 minutes, they raised $58,000 for local food pantry VEAP. Within an hour, $100,000.

Gift shop in the Minneapolis airport is selling "ICE OUT of St. Paul" posters next to cute onesies and fridge magnets.

Super Bowl broadcast starts at 5:30p ET and the kickoff itself is at 6:30p ET. There, I saved you a search. In return, please subscribe to the @thisdaypod.com newsletter where we just posted full video of our upcoming series on ROOTS. open.substack.com/pub/thisdayp...

Next on "50 Weeks That Shaped America" -- the TV show ROOTS brings the story of American slavery to the masses.

This is happening in Sunset Park as well. Local librarian tells me many fewer families are coming in. Businesses are suffering. The streetscape is a little less vibrant. It’s absolutely heartbreaking and enraging. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

"Twitter is cooking their brains" theory looking pretty strong

Lots of concern about the future of media these days but I've got it all figured out. The future of media is me trying to guess the title of the cover of the New Yorker every week. Here's the latest edition. youtu.be/IzebVqSmFDI?...

If you're feeling helpless and don't know what to do: Look for people out there who are already helping. I promise they're out there. And then ask how you can help and do it. You're not alone. Community is out there and it's the way forward. ❤️👊

Has a reporter ever responded to something like this with a straight up "what is wrong with you dude?!" What would happen?

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.

Was told at a community meeting today that many of the restaurants along 5th and 7th Ave in Sunset Park, BK are seeing up to 90% less business this year, between the snow and fear in the community of leaving the house. So, if you can, plan a trip or order out this week.

Love this episode, our latest "50 Weeks That Shaped America" series. The discovery of gold and the invention of modern American capitalism -- plus a bunch of dudes who just could not keep their mouths shut podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... @kcarterjackson.bsky.social @pastpunditry.bsky.social

I've been seeing posts for comms roles on LinkedIn with salaries that seemed, to me as a journalist, staggering. I wondered why this was happening amid an AI boom. Turns out: there's a premium on good writing and creative thinking in the age of AI slop. www.businessinsider.com/hottest-job-...

My sense is that the NYC trash pile patience is running thin. People generally understand that this was a big snow followed by freezing temperatures, but yeah, another missed collection day or two and it may become A Thing for the Mamdani folks.

"In my few days in Minnesota, I’ve been witness to countless scenes that remind me of moments I’ve seen during previous trips covering conflicts around the world," photojournalist @cengizyar.com writes. "The wars we’ve carried out as a nation abroad have come home." More: https://propub.li/4acxEeY

My desk for my first real job (@wnyc.org) was right there. Definitely a better place to visit than to have to work in every day. (Though walking past all the people getting married every morning was great)

the news media should be replaced by these three guys

Very excited to say that 404 Media's zine about ICE Surveillance is here. If you ordered a print copy, I put it in the mail last week. If not, we of course think the info inside is very important so here's a free PDF. We also translated it into Spanish: www.404media.co/icezine/
