really does capture it!

Why is this only happening now? It should have been done decades ago. They won't pass it, they'll never give up the money they make while in office.

If you didn't catch the names in PTA's speech, the 1975 Best Picture nominees are Barry Lyndon, Dog Day Afternoon, Jaws, Nashville, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. There are no skips; there is no wrong place to start. They will make you love American movies anew, and demand the best from them.

Ceija Stojka show @drawingcenter yesterday still on my mind. Beautiful, emotional and tragic imagery. So much narrative and inspiration #ceijastojka

The call has been made! NYC Public Schools will have a full snow day tomorrow.

In honor of the impending demise of the mass-market paperback, here's a little grid I pulled from my shelves. (Yes, I do read women authors too. In nicer editions, obviously.)

That tech oligarchs are noisy and incensed about the remote possibility of a wealth tax and utterly silent about the murder of a man who was only using the phone they invented to chronicle the thuggish government goon squads should tell you everything about these desiccated souls.

It's so weird that the "surprise" "vote" happened yesterday but they had the external lettering, tarps, and crew all ready to go.

Straight talk from my Dad’s daily horoscope text 🙃🦂

When someone talks about the good old days…😳

I have heard of the Vogels, prolific art collectors for the love of art and artists. RIP Dorothy Vogel.

😮 from today's NYT Flashback

Intuit, parent company of TurboTax, donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Always follow the money.

Did you all see this yet? When I told you I thought PJOTV season two would be even better, this is what I meant. And yes, the wedding dress is coming. Just wait. See you December 10 on Disney+! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ4I...

I am digging the creative dunking by the Dems

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao? TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him. TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Release the Epstein files.

See the issue is that Trump ran on releasing on the Epstein files, and Bondi said she had them sitting on her desk ready to go, and then Elon Musk tweeted that Trump was in them and they were suddenly deemed a hoax and Ghislaine was moved to a spa prison, so you can understand the fresh intrigue

"A more soporific set of headlines would be hard to write.” That's what I told @sulliview.bsky.social about 2 stories that NYT put atop its Sunday front page, while it reduced No Kings coverage to 2 tiny photos below the fold and a story on Page 23. margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/who-cares-...

The Other Americans #datenight

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Shopping list, that last one? anyone? #handwriting
