Dear @advocate.nyc.gov: How can you talk about diluting the number of voters when out of 5-million-plus registered voters, roughly 20% at best tend to elect our mayor every four years. Voters don’t show and don’t pay attention. It’s up to candidates to break through.

Ok so the lesson is that we can’t pay attention to any elected city officials including City Councilmembers #JoannAriola and #FrankMorano. They all are too concerned with allowing party machines to stay in power. Morano’s argument against top 2 is simply false, especially as he …

I just heard @bradlander.bsky.social testify to the nyc charter commission against open primaries, and as someone who ranked him first, ranked Mamdani, & did not rank Cuomo, I’ve never heard him give such an incorrect analysis. He completely misses the point & I’m quite disappointed.

Yes recency bias is real, but I’m not sure if I’ve ever been much sadder about a TV series ending than I am having just finished the astonishing #ANDOR. @jowrotethis.bsky.social & @malloryrubin: If your deep dive is less than 5 hours, you’re slacking! #HouseofR

K2HerO! Amirite? Give #Andor all the Emmys please!

I dont know how I hadnt heard about this until now, but … Whoever imagined Bill & Ted Meet Beckett deserves a MacArthur Fellowship and possibly having a new category of Nobel prize created.

No shade to @peterbakernyt.bsky.social, but “He is delusional,” sums it up without a 2 minute video analysis. #JustSaying

Sometimes, it takes me forever to parallel park successfully, but often enough, I succeed beyond my wildest dreams without ever having to start over.

We’re fighting antisemitism on college campuses. That’s why we pulled Holocaust history from the library of the Naval Academy but left two copies of Mein Kampf.

Of course White House doesn’t comment on massive protests. How can they when everything is going so well? Market crashes are great! Besides, the IiC was doing the 2025 version of playing violin: “Mr. Trump, who was playing golf in Florida on Saturday,…” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/u...

What about 4) All of the above

It shouldn’t be a struggle: This is what happens when somebody who doesn’t know anything thinks that he knows more than everybody, can’t be wrong, and never has faced consequences. “Investors are struggling to understand the administration’s messaging on tariffs.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/b...

I have been beta testing Highland Pro for several months and really love it!. The clean interface lets me focus on my writing. It’s “Fountain First” approach means I don’t waste time setting/fixing styles. And the Navigator enables me to organize my documents. Congrats Team Highland! #scriptsky

Break free from Final Draft. Highland Pro is the most affordable and user friendly screenwriting software. This latest iteration is the best yet too! #TeamHighland

“Who are you going to believe? Me right now? Or me two nights ago when I spoke to Congress watched by more people than have ever watched a single program ever. More than watched the Moon Landing, at that was a Lot, I tell you.”

Hero.

I can’t quite recall a bigger gulf between a penultimate ep standing as one of the most riveting hours of TV of the past year and the resulting finale being pure fill-in-exposition & future set-up mid than PARADISE eps 7 & 8. Compelling season with a near total miss on the landing for me. #Bummer

I feel really bad (mostly) for whoever got fired from their job at #Hulu tonight after not ensuring that the #Oscars live stream would not have a hard cutoff, instead allowing the stream of an event that notoriously runs long to cut out just before the Best Actress award! Still ABC says "Try Hulu"!

I’m sure WaPo will publish every single submitted column about the freedom to cancel subscriptions and see where the free market takes this sadly declining legacy institution. #SadDayForNewspapers

I remember thinking, “Thank goodness, Bezos is saving an important institution like the Washington Post,” and then appreciating his (what seemed like a) hands-off-editorial attitude until a couple years ago. But now, another step towards darkness. #DemocracyDying

Does @thr.com not have copy editors? The number of blatant & simple copy issues in this not-breaking-news story is embarrassing. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Brilliant of Fox to push Super Bowl streaming to Tubi, exposing it to potential viewers & using a classic lead-out strategy by launching its first original series THE Z-SUITE, starring a known/liked actor, Lauren Graham. If only the show was good, not the worst of all possible Gen X v. Z situations.

I'm having such a hard time seeing through all the clouds, deciding what to say en route to blue skies has felt almost impossible. So ... more nonsense it is!

I know I should be plugging my own podcast, but let me tell you @dahlialithwick.bsky.social keeps me sane
