Tonight, I decided to take a break from the depressing news out of Washington and Minnesota and instead celebrate the genius of an actress taken from us way too soon. RIP Catherine O’Hara

This is a big one. The Washington National Opera was one of the Kennedy Center's few mainstays, and this break is evidence that the Trump-zombie version is simply not a viable arts venue. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/a...

Why are NYC viewers forced to watch another miserable Jets game on Channel 2, while Josh Allen is leading the Bills (the only true NY team!) to a possible comeback win against the Partriots?

@governor.ny.gov Hey Gov Hochul! How did the once-promising AirTrain at JFK turn into a debacle of mass transit incompetence? Today, it took 45 minutes to get from Terminal 4 to Jamaica, and at each stop passengers fought with each to try to get on and off overcrowded trains. Do better!

Ron Johnson's lies that "nobody would get kicked off Medicaid" if Trump's big bill becomes law go unchallenged by Jake Tapper

A case study in how not to do an interview. He let Johnson filibuster over and over with repeated outrageous lies that went unchallenged. Asked three times about Johnson’s position on deficits and let him bob and weave. Just cringeworthy.

Who could have predicted there would be a falling-out between Musk and Trump? Oh, right, everyone.

Congratulations to John Seabrook on the publication of his fantastic new book, The Spinach King, published by @wwnorton.com

So far, I’ve been pretty impressed with TNT’s coverage of the #FrenchOpen — with the singular exception of the insufferable host Adam Lefkoe, whose lack of tennis knowledge is shocking and whose fanboy interviews with the players have been embarrassing

Incredible win by the French wild card Loïs Boisson over the world No. 3!

Scott Bessent is incredible. Every time he opens his mouth, he puts his foot in it. I’m just waiting for him to pronounce in his next Fox interview, ‘Let them eat cake.’

The scene at the stage door of ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ last night, with a crowd of young fans waiting for Paul Mescal to emerge.

The cover story by @conordougherty.bsky.social in Sunday Business: How, over the course of 16 crime novels, Walter Mosley used Easy Rawlins to tell the story of how, for many Black Americans, smalltime landlording has been the pathway to the middle class. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/07/b...

If you’ve never heard of Ms. Rachel then you must not be the parent of a toddler. The story of her journey from YouTube sensation to the inspiration for this holiday season’s hottest toy is the cover piece in this weekend’s Sunday Business section. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/b...

I hope @sulliview.bsky.social is in a bar right now, noshing on Buffalo chicken wings and downing a beer as she watched that incredible TD run by Josh Allen!
