Tonight at 8pm: My review of Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter in Broadway's Waiting for Godot. Stay tuned!

FWIW: I have no doubt that Kristin Chenoweth is sincere in her advocacy for LGBTQ+ people and that her response to Kirk’s murder was emotional and well-intentioned, if perhaps under-informed. It was a regrettable response that she likely regrets, but she is not the enemy.

Reluctantly, I have canceled my subscriptions to Disney+ and Hulu. Reluctantly because the bigger problem is Trump’s dictatorship. But they need to feel the heat from our side, too.

This is pure authoritarian repression and this is where it’s been going all along

The new James Bond has finally been announced and it’s the Broadway revival of Waiting for Godot

I had the pleasure of sitting down with the Kael Report’s Harold Finley a few months back, and our conversation is now available on his Substack. Check it out! We went pretty deep. thekaelreport.substack.com

Jeff Hiller, Cristin Milioti and Owen Cooper have made this a really lovely Emmy night for me

Jeff Hiller just won an Emmy and I am the world’s happiest boy right now

In case you missed it, Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade proposed this morning that mentally ill homeless people who don’t accept treatment should be murdered. Literally murdered. This is not an exaggeration. He proposed: “Involuntary lethal injection. Or something. Just kill ‘em.”

Am I the type of person who will give a copyediting note to a guy holding a doomsday sign in Times Square? Yes. Yes, I am. (“Hey! In standard American spelling, there’s just one e in ‘judgment.’”)

SNL without Ego Nwodim and Heidi Gardner is going to be starting at a pretty major deficit for me

Go Mets

Just got the full cast list for the CSC revival of The Baker’s Wife this fall and it’s embargoed until tomorrow morning so all I will say is that it’s FANTASTIC

Remember how the Republican White House responded to 9/11 by using it as an excuse to launch a disastrous and hugely expensive war based on lies? Let’s not do that again.

Go Mets

The country is mostly in an express lane to hell but on the bright side the new MTA maps are awesome

Totally normal post from the government today

Oh my God

Bobby McFerrin is best known for his novelty hit “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” but he is an astonishing musician. (Fun fact: His father was an operatic baritone, and the first black man to sing at the Met.) do yourself a favor and watch this. It is WILD. vimeo.com/92321770

Well, the finale of And Just Like That did not live up even to my incredibly low expectations. I just…really did NOT like that.

Some good news: The entire original cast of Liberation—which won the New York Drama Critics’ Circle’s first-ever award for Best Ensemble Performance earlier this year—will return for the show’s Broadway run

Pete Hegseth shares a clip saying women shouldn’t have the right to vote, the 19th Amendment should be “repealed,” and women should “submit” to their husbands: “All of Christ for All of Life”

Time machine please

Fair.

This photo of Cynthia Erivo with Jesus Christ Superstar movie stars Ted Neely and Yvonne Elliman makes my heart happy. (Also: Ted Neely looks incredible for 81, no?)

I only just realized that Alva Vanderbilt, the inspiration for Carrie Coon’s character on The Gilded Age, is the same person as the rich feminist patroness Alva Belmont played by Emily Skinner in Suffs

Best. Saturday. Ever.

I burst out laughing. It's not funny and yet it also is funny because it's the worst shit I've ever seen

The woman took an extended walk off a foreshortened pier

Trans people have many enemies and Pete Buttigieg is not one of them despite what the bots and algos are trying to make you think
