A beautiful Autumn day in New York to stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge with my mum.

Reunited!

Opening night of the UK tour of Death on the Nile at the beautiful Lowry Theatre in Salford. Break legs, mes amis!

I was supposed to resist this tote bag? Please.

Spent the weekend back on the water, earning my next American Sailing Association certification—Coastal Cruising.

This neighborhood cat loves to come visit with Boswell. They are such cute little friends.

A cricket was chirping inside my Manhattan apartment all fucking night. One fucking cricket. One impossibly loud fucking cricket. By 3 am, I was full Walter White vs the fly.

I was so fortunate attend the closing performance of Free Shakespeare in the Park's TWELFTH NIGHT on Sunday at the revitalized Delacorte. Sensational theater, freely shared, and a testament to the importance of public arts in NYC.

Still rowing away on my virtual journey from John O’Groats to Lands End. When I’m not on the road, I do about 10km a day on my rowing machine. Yesterday I reached Inverness. That’s 267km—166 miles or 20% of the full route. On to Glasgow.

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?" A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons. Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

The owner of my sailing school reached out to say my instructor specifically recommended me for the next certification level. Time to get studying—ASA 103 exam in two weeks!

Intermission: Broadway achievement unlocked.

Seeing a matinee of Just in Time. I’m sitting in row A so Jonathan Groff can spit on me.

Post-rehearsal drinks with the brilliant cast of #AgathaChristie ‘s #DeathOnTheNile.

True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing. Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter. Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵 x.com/andrewcuomo/...

"The man who is not yet mayor is to blame for a shooting that happened under the watch of an ex-cop mayor who's thrown every available dollar at the NYPD," insists sex pest

Boswell still hasn’t figured out how chairs work.

I passed my American Sailing Association 101 certification! Yay! I’ve wanted to learn to sail for decades, but I’m so glad I waited until New York Harbor was my home port.

Apparently I take up a new crazy activity every five years. Ten years ago I started sword fighting, five years ago I started ninja training, and today I took my first sailing lesson. I also seem to be training as an accidental pirate.

I’m so excited to jump into rehearsals with this amazing team in August!

I enjoy my rowing machine more when I imagine myself traveling somewhere. It took my old ass 15 sessions to row the 50-mile perimeter of Loch Ness, a virtual trek I finished yesterday. Today, I leave John O’Groats on the 874-mile journey to Lands End. Trying to arrive by March 9th—my next birthday.

In this week’s episode of #StrongMessageHere (do you listen? You should), @helenlewis.bsky.social and @aiannucci.bsky.social called BlueSky posts “Bloots”, and I will now never call them anything else: “Did you see his bloot?” “What are you doing?” “Blooting” “She blooted about it yesterday.”

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use 2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use 3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

Truth. I have no time for surrender. Threatening people? Disappearing people? Deportation of citizens? That’s because they know they’re weak and unpopular. Push back.

Accurate

Jeff Bezos of Amazon had a 50 million dollar wedding in Venice surrounded by billionaires, celebs, and the elite but the true threat to American workers and democracy is Zohran Mamdani and AOC, who want affordable housing, health care, and higher wages.

Thanks for your vote of confidence…I guess?! Unlike you, I’d actually be focused on the American people—the issues they’re facing, making sure folks have healthcare, and consulting with Congress before dropping bombs on another country.

nyt op-ed: we cannot normalize the left’s brazen attempt to win voters by talking to them

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

Hahaha, get fucked, Cuomo. It’s a good day to be a New Yorker.

Do the right thing: rank me #1, Zohran #2, and DON'T RANK ANDREW CUOMO.

Enjoying a small pivo in the land of my fathers.

I assure you, none of them are mine.

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

This was the Dashcon ball pit of military parades.

Fifty thousand of my neighbors and I came out today to share the NYC mantra: “If you fuck with one of us, you fuck with all of us.”

Niagra-on-the-Lake is picturesque beyond all reason. I think when I’m a bozillionaire, I shall keep my summer home and sailboat here.

Jeffrey Seller’s memoir “Theatre Kid” is the best book I’ve read in ages.

We’re ready to take this thing! #GoLeafs

It’s a beautiful day in NYC—a perfect day to work with my West 72nd Street Block Association to clean and care for our neighborhood tree beds.

They say dogs and their people start to resemble each other. I don’t see it…

Now that I’ve tried puppy yoga, I’m not sure I’ll ever bother to do yoga without puppies again. #PuppyYogaNYC
