So today’s the day everybody just decided it was ok to be offensive and stupid, right? Now that USA 250 (zzzzzz) and the US involvement in the World Cup is over, we’re just going to accept all the lies and the nonsense that people are putting out into the universe?

Republicans can be all up in a private citizen’s uterus, but it’s an invasion of privacy to ask whether the person being paid by taxpayer dollars to hold the post of Senate minority leader is still alive?

He goes to the NBA finals; the home team loses. He works to get a red card overturned for the host nation of the World Cup; that team loses its next game. He “fixes” the reflecting pool, which is overrun with algae for America’s 250th, and his big, beautiful party is a washout. #TrumpIsALoser

Everything Trump touches dies. #FIFAWorldCup

For the very tiny overlapping slice of the Venn diagram between World Cup viewers and #Broadway fans, a forward for the Belgium national football team (Leandro Trossard) bears a passing butch resemblance to the playwright and original star of “Oh, Mary!” So I’m calling him “Goal Escola”.

Watching the World Cup has brought it to my attention that #Fox is about to debut a reality competition called “World’s Dumbest.” So wildly on brand, but the obvious winner is too busy vandalizing reflecting pools and obstructing the release of the Epstein Files to participate.

The US Capitol isn’t an assisted living facility, but a good number of this Congress belongs in one. #GoToTheLightMitch

If they can put our trans kids in the crosshairs, it’s only fair we return the favor. Let’s find every sports-playing child of every GOP lawmaker, and ensure they have to submit to genital inspections before every game. Then we can see how long it takes before this ruling is vacated by legislation.

Change is coming, and #NYC is leading the way. Mayor Mamdani is having a hell of a week; everything he roots for or endorses turns to gold!

Hopefully this was the last birthday he celebrates as a free man. Or you can leave off the last 4 words. I’m not picky.

Not James Dolan having to spend the rest of his life wondering if the Knicks would have won the NBA Championship in front of the home crowd at MSG if he hadn’t allowed perpetual loser Trump and his tsunami of failure envelop the Garden Monday Night. #KnicksIn5

It’s happening again… #Knicks

It was a perfect pre-summer day in #NYC, and with the World Cup and the NBA finals bringing all the sports fans into the streets, the city is buzzing tonight in a way it hasn’t for decades!

Aside from being a rapist and a pedophile, Donald Trump is a national embarrassment. He’s turned the people’s house into a disgusting spectacle befitting an emperor in the waning days of his disgraceful rule.

I’m not a basketball fan. That said, HOLY SHIT!! #Knicks

Trump destroys everything he touches. #Knicks

Well, this sequence could give Chicago another 30 years on Broadway. Holy hell, Alex Newell! Did they really just try to bleep “Lipschitz”? And Pink as Velma Kelly when?! #TonyAwards

OMG, Ali Louis Bourzgui. You just spoke every truth. Thank you for making this moment about so many people when you could have kept this global spotlight on yourself. #TonyAwards

God, Sam Tutty and Christiani Pitts are so damned charming, and you should absolutely see Two Strangers… if you haven’t already. #TonyAwards

Just a reminder that CBS and Paramount Plus may platform the #TonyAwards and RuPaul’s Drag Race, but they are supporters of the fascists who are destroying trans lives and rolling back protections for queer Americans. Don’t think they’re allies; they are not.

Ok, Sidney Harcourt, I see you trying to get Paul Rudd into your litter box! #TonyAwards

Shoshana! Yes! #TonyAwards

Oh, no. Titanique is having all sorts of technical difficulties, and the wacky joy from the theater just isn’t translating to the Radio City stage. #TonyAwards

Cats: The Jellicle Ball just won best direction of a musical for Zhailon Levingston and Bill Rauch. This is amazing and important. The show celebrates trans people of color in a way that Broadway has never seen. It is joyful, but it is also powerful. Run to see it if you haven’t already. #TonyAwards

Don’t like the cuts they made to Ragtime, but the number is hitting me in the feels every bit as much as it did in the theater. What a gift of a show. #TonyAwards

Wow, I did not expect John Lithgow to get this, but so glad he did. That said, Nathan Lane deserves all the props for the way he disappeared into Willy Loman and showed us a soul laid bare on the stage. #TonyAwards

YAAAAAAAS, Cole! #TonyAwards

OMG, this opening is queer and chaotic and Broadway, and it’s the best thing I’ve seen on TV in years. Pink is making a good case for being host, and all the shows are represented. Brilliant! #TonyAwards

Four minutes in and our first mic issues of the evening. Why does this happen every year? And to Shoshana Bean, no less. #TonyAwards

Pluto’s Act I was a bit of a dud. Benanti and Burgess were amazing, of course, but why limit the speeches, and why not feature more examples of each area of excellence? I get that they had to clear the stage, but this feels like a big missed opportunity. #TonyAwards

I am ready for every moment of Black queer joy that “Cats: The Jellicle Ball” brings to the Radio City stage tonight. We need this visibility now more than ever. #TonyAwards

I can’t see James Lapine without thinking of how William Finn bellowed out his name when he won best score at the 1992 Tonys (and they just showed it!). What a gifted collaborator, and what a deserving recipient. #TonyAwards

How did I not know that Jules Fisher was responsible for the WTC tribute in light? It’s such an amazing, simple, effective memorial. If you’ve never experienced it live, you owe it to yourself to do so. #TonyAwards

I enjoyed the hell out of Schmigadoon, but how was it eligible for original score? #TonyAwards

Amazing to see Carrie Coon, a UW-Madison alum honoring American Players Theater in Spring Green. The entire organization is so professional, and it’s amazing the actors can remain so composed onstage given the fact audience members are given bug spray with their playbills. #TonyAwards

Am I watching the correct feed, or is Pluto TV, just glitching out during the technical awards? #TonyAwards

Not that anybody interacts with my original posts here, but if you want to stay spoiler free for the #TonyAwards this evening, you might want to mute me for the next 4.5 hours.

Hey, America! While you suffer, NYers are living their best life: - Crime is down - Transit costs down - Child care costs down - Tenants getting restitution from negligent landlords - Free supplies sent to 7,000 new parents This happens when the gov works for you! Elect Democratic Socialists!

I want a POTUS who works for Americans the same way Zohran Mamdani works for NYCers, and not some addle-brained shitposter who spends his days peddling AI slop on his personal echo chamber.

@patagonia.com Please drop the lawsuit. It’s not a good look going into Pride month. #PattieGonia #PatagoniaDropTheLawsuit

My unspoken anxieties are starting to show up as ads in my social media feeds. Might be time to touch grass.

The three most stressful words in playoff hockey: Game 7 Overtime. Let’s go Habs!

The Supreme Court is compromised by corrupt racists.

He never intended to attend that dinner, and he wanted to try to make people feel sorry for him because we’ve gone back to talking about the Epstein files. Don’t interrupt my day again unless he’s actually dead; that’s the news we’re all waiting for. #WashingtonCorrespondentsDinner

Well, he hasn’t died yet today. Maybe tonight or tomorrow. The sand is almost all the way through that hourglass…

Heading across the Triborough Bridge in the daytime for the first time in several years, and it’s shocking to see how much high-rise construction has popped up in Harlem and the south Bronx. I hope some of it is affordable housing.

I’m no Catholic (though raised as one), and any institution run by men with institutional wealth and global power is inherently corrupt. But the #Pope is standing up to evil and speaking out against the violent, racist, greedy narcissist in the White House. That’s something I support wholeheartedly.

He’s going to die in jail.

Second time I’ve seen this meme. I would love a reporter to do this.

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.
