What a lovely speech, and what a well-earned award. #MichaelBJordan #Oscars #BestActor

Perfect. No notes.

"What fun we had storming the castle." And now I'm a mess. #RobReiner #InMemoriam #Oscars

Very glad to be wrong! Cheers, Mr. Coogler! #Sinners #Oscars

They're going to completely shut Sinners out, aren't they? Sigh. At least it holds the record for nominations. #Oscars

Truth.

Timothee Chalamet only wishes he could dance like that. #Sinners #ILiedToYou #BestSong #Oscars

I keep thinking that if Donald Trump had gone to prison for January 6, as he should have, all those Iranian schoolgirls would be having dinner with their families this evening.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

Grr, trying to watch the @mincemeatbway.bsky.social livestream but I barely use instagram and I have no idea how to find it on the show's page. Any advice?

Beautiful. May his memory be a blessing.

if everyone could take on the “what if we just did the thing instead of waiting for it to happen” energy that much of minneapolis has right now, the world could be pretty good

Maybe not the worst but most annoying thing about this Kennedy Center debacle is going to be the thousands of people with little to no knowledge of how nonprofit arts orgs are managed or funded busting out their uninformed axe-grinding takes all over the barely literate news coverage.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Maybe we're going to make it after all...

Happy birthday to Chita Rivera, who sent me a thank you note for sending her a thank you note after she signed a photo for me. There will never be another like her.

Let the picture of the little five year old boy standing facing the car and the old man being dragged out of his house with no shirt on, let those images burn into your brain. We don’t have to be this country. We don’t have to live this way. Donald Trump was a choice, Republican voters made for us.

White Americans keep looking to 1930s Germany for lessons on authoritarianism, but they ignore Black Americans who have survived it here. Slavery, Jim Crow, and racialized state violence are forms of American authoritarianism.

How many women have died with “fucking bitch” ringing in their ears? Don’t let the misogyny get erased here

You need to think much closer to home: the Venn diagram of men who abuse women in private and shoot them in public is a circle.

Sigh.

Because U.S. intervention in Latin American governments has worked out so well in the past.

Five, four, three -- open sesame! Happy New Year!

It is a little ironic that as the days reach their coldest, they also start to get longer. The longest night of the year is behind us, and we lit all the candles to keep things as bright as possible. Here's hoping summer gets here soon.

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.

Lighting the first Chanukah candles tonight, I'll be thinking about Ahmed al Ahmed and his bravery at Bondi Beach. May we all have such courage and compassion.

I’m dumbstruck by news of the death of Tom Stoppard—maybe because he hoarded all the words and knew how to use them better than just about anyone. I hope we savor his spectacular wit and erudition and argue about the politics of his plays forever. He was monumental, and also a kind and curious man.

The European Court of Justice has ruled same-sex couples married in one EU country must now be recognized by all member states #NOH8

“It makes me so happy. To be back at the beginning, knowing almost nothing.” -Arcadia, Tom Stoppard, zichrono l’bracha

"We must be born with an intuition of mortality. Before we know the word for it, before we know that there are words, out we come...with the knowledge that for all the points of the compass, there's only one direction and time is its only measure." Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

I've never sobbed uncontrollably at Meadowlark before, and I've easily heard the song a thousand times. Ariana DeBose is just that good. #TheBakersWife #CSC

Just give Joshua Henry all the awards. Then invent new ones to give him. Wow. #Ragtime

Whoever designed the Orlando International Airport had a twisted sense of humor.

It's not too late to vote early--and if you vote today, you'll get this extra-cool sticker! Find your polling place and go!

This could be fascinating. Depending on who gets it next, the title of Duke of York could be passed from a father to a son for the first time since the 1400s.

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people

This! Excellent work, @catcardenas.bsky.social!

ZERO arrests at No Kings in NYC. (And the NYPD isn’t notorious for being sympathetic with people anti-Trump.) This proves what shameless liars Speaker Mike Johnson & Karoline Leavitt are to slander the participants as violent anarchists.

Reposting to remind myself next time I get cynical and mean-spirited. (And let's be honest--when am I not cynical and mean-spirited?)

Great, cheerful #NoKings crowd lining the streets in Bethlehem, Pa., and lots of cars honking as they go by.

I might not find some political activism that compelling but I try to keep in mind Kwame Ture's point: "You don't criticize somebody who's doing something when you doing nothing."

I’ve been thinking about Kiss of the Spider Woman since Friday. For all its challenges, it’s amazing how a story from nearly 50 years ago feels so timely and relevant today.

You gotta put down the ducky if you wanna play the saxophone (honored to be quoted)

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising. Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

Oh no...

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

BREAKING: Per MSNBC, Nexstar has ALSO CAVED and will stop preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! Way to go, everyone!

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...
