The nonprofit that runs the successful, Pulitzer-winning Baltimore Banner is going to take over the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Of all the possible outcomes here, this is likely the best we could have hoped for. apnews.com/article/pitt...

Oh hey this is apparently closing in two weeks and tickets to it are now discounted and it’s really charming and silly and fun, if “charming and silly and fun” are your sort of thing.

A good thread from someone who’s seen Jared’s skills up close.

really good images of the model of NYC they made for the hudsucker proxy from an old issue of cinefex

was once New Amsterdam.

I am sure all the theater people on here knew this already but this is a lovely writeup of the actor playing Tommy on “The Comeback”, who’s an 86-year-old four-time Tony-winning director who’s apparently acting on screen for the first time.

[scientist looking through microscope in disbelief] mother of god... it's... it's a reverse milkshake duck

The show’s cancellation sucks but it feels like journalistic malpractice if you cover this auction without the headline “for sale: captain’s shoes, never worn.”

Yes, the Grink was there. I'm getting to that. He was on that island with me. And I wouldn't be alive to tell my story without him.

I can’t tell if it’s a mistake or part of the business model that Deadline’s website crashes after an article has been open for more than thirty seconds, so it takes at least three refreshes to read one start-to-finish.

God, I love her so much. Just banger after bager. She's in it purely for the love of the game and I respect that.

I watched the first 20 minutes of “Ella McCay” and was not prepared for it to be a movie about a family of wigs riding famous actors around a nameless state in New England.

Here’s a thought - if someone is proud enough of the food they cooked or the thing they made to take a picture and put it on here just either say something enthusiastic and kind or say nothing.

This is like a “30 Rock” b-story where for some reason Jack starts taking legal advice from Tracy.

Remembering that guy who kept insisting he didn't understand the phrase "the good grammar of civility masking the agenda of cruelty" and wanting to send him this headline and the letter this same publication sent @karenattiah.bsky.social

Sorry, I’m just now picturing the opening 20 minutes of “Tár” but instead of talking to Adam Gopnik at The New Yorker Festival Lydia Tár is on “Hot Ones”.

You can’t fool me, that’s Uncle Colm from “Derry Girls”.

I think this is getting read as “no Catholics allowed!” when it’s more “hey we’re having a Protestant service today” and I get why the optics are very bad but I’d also like to know how often there are services in this chapel and whether there’ve been Catholic ones for Good Friday there in the past.

“If you won’t make your products cheaper for Americans than I will make them more expensive instead” is truly The Art of the Deal.

Bold choice to do this event with a group of people you’ve insisted can’t throw a baseball.

It’s very funny to me that CNN — which has never met a pointless countdown clock it didn’t love — has a little window on screen about the Artemis II launch, an event that famously has a countdown associated with it, and can’t be bothered to put it on screen.

Last week I looked at Fox News and they were doing a segment on “surging birth tourism” — a phrase I hadn’t seen them use in years — and I couldn’t figure out why, and of course it was laying the groundwork for this week.

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

“Ah, Mister Bond, I see you’ve already made the acquaintance of my associate…”

Golden retriever runs 15 feet after owner mimes throwing tennis ball

Everyone has made the “social issues are central to the show” point, but also: If you want to say you prefer the action-heavy episodes, that’s fine. It’s just… there aren’t that many episodes that are even particularly action-heavy? It’s mostly a show about a branch office holding meetings in space.

Well, this just about wrecked me.

The pros and cons of SALT aside, it’s wild to pick this framing— “blue states are benefiting from a Trump policy!”—and not mention until the 17th paragraph that he’s the one who capped SALT deductions in the first place in 2017.

It’s always fun when someone who rails against “identity politics” says something like this and makes it explicit they don’t see their own identity as political.

News alert emails like this really validate my decision to take the money I used to spend on the Washington Post and subscribing to the Philadelphia Inquirer instead.

Made the mistake of looking at the replies on a post on Twitter and visiting that site now always feels like when George Bailey visits Nick’s bar in Pottersville.

Trust me--read this. You'll be glad you did. and thank you Dr. Bennet for writing it. 🧪

My most buzzkill, parent-of-an-autistic-kid take on "lol my based son only drinks milk and eats cheeseburgers and if you tell him there are no cheeseburgers he asks for a hamburger" is that there's a nonzero chance the solution here is "take your kid to a restaurant that serves the foods he eats".

heartburn feels good in a place like this

I remember in the late '90s/early '00s the press treated David Boies like he was a very smart man, and his descent since then has been impressively Giuliani-esque.

For anyone else who was trying to figure out wtf this meant, I looked at this guy's other interviews because I figure it's a go-to line, and he's just racing through the phrase "history's greatest entrepreneurs".

I’m torn between thinking “Silicon Valley” ended at the right time, because there were only so many things to say about these people and it said it better than anyone, and wishing it had lasted until the “go on podcasts all day and talk like philosopher-kings” era.

As we first reported in last night's @semafor.com media newsletter, NOTUS is rebranding/dramatically expanding. In a memo to staff this morning, the organization said it plans to "launch this new version of NOTUS under a new name" and double staff from 50 to 100.

Honestly, the Jiffy factory is a massive upgrade over my Michigan field trip memories, which are of going to both a gypsum mine AND the Gerald Ford museum.

Seems notable that the congressman in question is himself a medical doctor and surgeon and… probably had access to whatever resources the president’s claiming he made available to him.

“Everyone knows that at the end of ‘The Great Gatsby’ we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. What my theory presupposes is, what if we don’t?”

Furious with myself for only catching up with “Detroiters” now and discovering that it’s fantastic and also has a recurring role for Mort Crim, Detroit TV legend and the Mario to Bill Bonds’s Wario.

Listen this is the god’s honest truth!

sometimes i'll see someone on here reference a thing "everyone is mad about" and i'll have no clue what they mean and it always makes me feel like this

There will be a documentary one day about the epic downfall of Buzzfeed

We spoke to Black women who started the Target boycott & who sustained it for a yr+. They'll likely never go back. Teacher Laverne Mickens put it like this: “[Black women] will say if & when it’s over. And I can tell you right now: That will be the 15th of never ever.” 19thnews.org/2026/03/targ...

I know this community very well. The Shenandoah club the Temple Israel statement refers to as providing food and shelter during this attack is the club established by Iraqi Chaldeans. This is really beautiful interfaith solidarity in action.
