Behold: my childhood dream realized. I played with Elmo and Grover, in celebration of new Sesame Street episodes now on Netflix and PBS KIDS on June 8. m.youtube.com/watch?v=8jxP...

Riding through Manhattan in a can tonight, we could hear people cheering in every bar we drove past. I’m not a sports person. But I love the energy! Go Knicks!

Hot take: "A.i." in the arts is for selling/pitching crap to non-visual, unimaginative middle managers and execs who shouldn't be in their positions to begin with.

A GORGEOUS woman just stopped me to say “I like your look. SO NICE.” Happy Pride to me!

I can feel myself becoming my mother as I type this, but the moon is beautiful tonight. Go look at it!

I type “junket” very often bc of my job. The amount of times autocorrect/autocomplete and apple’s dictation tools opt for “junkie” instead is infinite.

I want to learn how to use a sewing machine. So…how do I do that?

My nieces have been making two minute horror movie “trailers.” They just sent me one that’s basically a found footage short. They use lighting effects. Their own sound effects. And their camerawork is solid. I’m very proud. Too soon to show them Blair Witch? (They’re both in grade school)

“These sorts of movies do more damage to the culture than any bloody horror flick you can name, because they make the unforgivable adorable.”

Is it just me or our Google and Apple products lately wildly unreliable?

I hope ghosts are real. I don’t have enough time in this life to annoy all the people who deserve it.

Oh. Gross.

I bought a cheap projector for my bedroom wall. And omg. My screener game had leveled UP! I can watch movies/shows 10 feet wide! Obviously I can’t show you a shot of a screener. Embargoed and all that. But it’s awesome.

“Hey. I’m trying to save the world here. I don’t need the tone.” I like The Burroughs.

ok so mamdani's $26 dining deals at NYC restaurants across the five boroughs during the world cup is really smart!!!! ny.eater.com/news/411589/...

Apropos of nothing it's bonkers that after universal acclaim and very solid viewership numbers, we haven't gotten any sort of announcement about more of the new Muppet Show.

This passed the house today, so now is the time to call our senators (and yell at our house reps if they voted for it) This bullshit bill is an assault on trans people and on every kid’s right to read and see the world as it exists. Reps.fyi

inside you there are two wolves:

A lot has already been said about this but I’ll add it continues to be amazing to see what someone(s) can do when you approach governing a city with love instead of something you have to wrestle to the ground and strangle to death.

3 actual quotes from this piece: “Can I afford the tax? Yes. Is it going to deter me? No. But I think it’s shameful. I provide a lot of money to people who are blue-collar workers who work for me, servers in restaurants." giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Prisoners

Horror movies that can actually break your heart and make you cry are a rare breed - cherish every one

More than the environmental problems, the theft, the degrading of intelligence, the overwhelmingly abusive and bullying nature of the industry... Using AI is just plain embarrassing.

Welcome to the stage Cold Silky Beef Energy

For reporting, I'm looking to speak to a Black novelist whose screen adaptation has been scrapped or delayed for a long period of time. If that's you or someone you know, please email me at [email protected].

New writing hack: stop looking at your phone

My latest embroidery was inspired by Olivia Rodrigo’s next album cover.

So enthralling it feels like magic mashable.com/article/the-...

"Why are all the journalists laid off now" this is why. Pretty simple.

Broadway has just gotten a lot hotter.

Restaurant. I’ve never once put the “u” in the right place.

“Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, HP, LOTR, Marvel:”

Rewatching INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE series again. Bc I deserve good things. And goddamn is this good.

It’s pretty hilarious that we’re doing the critics/audience divide discourse again while this is still selling out theaters.

Mounting a stage production of BEACHES without the songs "Otto Titsling" or "Oh Industry" being performed is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever heard

Beaches on Broadway: it’s bad! mashable.com/article/beac...

I just saw a little girl running down the sidewalk with a big smile on her face, wearing a purple cape and a matching eye mask. I saluted this tiny superhero. Seemed appropriate.

'SWIMS' upside down is still 'SWIMS.'

Shut up! I’m googling “frog hotels”

Hey @letterboxd.social users: this score for Thrash?! That movie has pregnant meat factory worker give birth in shark infested hurricane water. And orphans chucking dynamite at hull sharks?!? WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?!?!?

My partner asked if I could test him to see how “online” he is. Everything I asked him about, including Looksmaxxing, he said “that’s one of the X-Men.” The man lives in grass. Enviably Walden’s pond.

On the train. Overheard two teen boys: Are you DTF? yeah. Do you even know what DTF means?! Yeah…Dick Time Fool …yeah! Exactly. it’s nice even with access to the internet some things never change
