Watching the Republican Party get embarrassed repeatedly by the man who they have all sworn pathetic, cowardly fealty to some small solace to me.

I could watch this all day.

I was up early in Brooklyn today to move my car (alternate side parking forever) and at around 6 am, Brad Lander walked by me. I shouted to him that I was going to vote for him, and he turned around, smiled, shook my hand and was just very genuine and kind. I am good luck so you're welcome.

Disclosure Day made me wistfully wonder if it’s still possible for our society as a whole to credulously experience a single event together.

Why AEW is great.

This JD Vance “negotiation” would be legitimately funny if the US hadn’t given up its foreign policy credibility for generations.

"Let's grow algae, let's grow!” 😂

Categories of cease-fire: 1) fragile

Absolute madness. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/19/w...

Because I’ve got Spielberg in mind with DISCLOSURE DAY’s release, I rewatched READY PLAYER ONE. It’s such a fun and easy watch, made to delight exactly my generation, and the middle section that recreates parts of THE SHINING is wonderful. Worth another look.

Millions of Americans can’t get healthcare and we killed children in Iran and the Voting Rights Act was gutted and Roe v Wade was overturned but let’s talk about algae.

If you die in a Waffle House, you die in real life.

Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others

"Strong Men" Putin and Trump have either lost or are losing their wars.

On this historic day, the President signed a Memorandum of Understanding that preliminarily accepts certain conditions and suggests eventual further Negotiations to pause a war he says he could start again at his own discretion in order to return to the status quo. Fittingly at Versailles.

It was clearly bullshit!

Holy shit. This reads like an apology to Iran. What an embarrassment. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/u...

The ceasefire is clearly bullshit. My God.

Jalen Brunson will never pay for a cup of coffee in this town ever again.

NY!

HISTORY.

!!!!!!!!!

LOL SpaceX. C’mon.

OCEANIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY CLOSE TO A DEAL WITH EURASIA

Jack Smith's report about Trump's hoarding of classified docs at Mar-a-Lago should have been released months ago; the public has a right to it under FOIA, the common law, and the First Amendment. Our opening brief in our second appeal to the Eleventh Circuit. ecf.ca11.uscourts.gov/n/beam/servl...

SPEECHLESS. LFGK

Knicks!!!!!!!!!!!’n mmm!!!

mountain time is kind of bullshit. pick a coast and make up your mind.

Backrooms feels like it has a lot of antecedents, but also, feels very much of its generation. Lonely and despairing and speaking in the language of levels and video games. It feels incoherent in an equally half-spooky and half-finished way. But I’m glad to see ambiguity has an audience.

The struggle is real

If you credulously do a segment about the vote in California in which you don’t say the president is lying, you’re spreading disinformation to your listeners.

Trump’s fault.

I really don't care if you think I'm a New Yorker. You can go fuck yourself.

Once again I was overlooked for a Tony in my category: Best Resentments.

I can’t take it! This game!

Graham Platner is clearly a fucked up guy. You know what’s more fucked up? Anti-trans legislation. An unchecked illegal war. Racist immigration policies. Susan Collins votes for Republican priorities. It’s that simple. These are just stand-ins for votes. Vote for Democrats down the line.

Wait. Wait. They're starting with The Magicians Nephew?

Why AEW is the fucking best.

Masters of the Universe reminded me of Cobra Kai: totally gets the tone, who it’s for, and what we came to see. It tracks the emotional core of the story and pays it off, and doesn’t apologize for the source material. Had a blast.

Raises hand: how can we call it a cease-fire when there is fire?

As an old, I hadn't heard of Backrooms until the movie became a massive phenomenon hit. So I've been looking through the YouTube videos. Very fun. Reminiscent of early fiction podcasts like Tanis or when Lost released lots of ancillary internet material about the Dharma Initiative.

Shitlibs are outraged by Bari Weiss, who I do not support, gutting 60 Minutes to appease Donald Trump, who I do not support. Why were they silent when I was shadow banned by M$DNC for noting the many progressive accomplishments of Vladimir Putin, who I also do not support? by Glenn Greenwald

The first of what I hope are several pieces for a smart and stylish new online magazine for NYC theater www.readthehat.com/articles/clu...

I mowed down 007 First Light, beat it in a couple of days, and it was right up my alley. I'm a huge fan of the Hitman series, so this had some Hitman-lite elements I really enjoyed, and then it was just a straightforward Uncharted-esque action title too. I love a well made single player experience.

Donald Trump said, on camera, that he believes most people don’t know the word “dumb” ends with a “b.”

Go Scott Pelley.

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.
