New York’s hottest club is Lawrence of Arabia on 70mm at the Paris Theater. This club has everything: an honored intermission; elderly people standing up randomly before that; men’s room line of 520 women’s room line of 15; a Dimes Square girl saying “there aren’t any fucking women in this movie”

Real talk (reel talk?): BWDR recently lost a partnership that covered nearly half our operating budget, so things are suddenly very tough. If what we do has ever meant something to you, or you’ve ever thought about subscribing, now’s the time—it *truly* makes a difference.

The reaction I get from people when I tell them I’m watching Mad Men for the first time is more enthusiastic than if I told them I was getting married

In my debut for @theatlantic.com, I wrote about the disappearance of cultural listings from major New York media outlets, and what it portends for artists, audiences, institutions, and journalists. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Coming home from the beach and showering and sitting on the couch nice and clean with a popsicle and a fresh tan wet hair so happy tired because what a fun day you had and you see THE PARENT TRAP is on tv………………………………..lowkey that may be the moment in which god is real

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well. forward.com/opinion/7575...

it's so beautiful that Fleetwood Mac running out of archive material of which to release a millionth cash grab super deluxe reissue forced their hand to finally trot out Buckingham Nicks but in the most go girl give us nothing way possible lmao

wrote about HAVING A COLD and being TOTALLY NORMAL ABOUT IT !!!

I am not a chid of divorce but I am a fan of both Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, and that's got to count for something, right

for @bwdr.bsky.social’s jonathan demme issue i wrote about rachel getting married, a movie that is very special to me for reasons vulnerable to admit but that i put into words anyway. thank you to @ohhhaeee.bsky.social for the gorgeous art and @carriecourogen.bsky.social for her brilliant edits!

an absolutely incredible piece of writing from @lindseyromain.bsky.social. i mean, fuck.

reading that prompter like he got popcorned to read out loud in class and is fighting for his life

I was going to say the media should treat Zionists—with their rampant fear mongering, delusional false claims, and complete ignorance of facts & physical reality—as rigorously as they treated Qanon freaks but then I remembered how much the New York Times covered shit like Pizzagate in earnest, oop—

anna wintour resigning from vogue the day after zohran won.......huge week for pushing out the gerontocracy

i'm in new york,,,,,,,, straight up "globalizing it" ,,,,;..... and by "it" haha. well.,, ., let's just say "the intifada"

shame on @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social for her hateful racist and islamophobic comments about zohran mamdani on the brian lehrer show if you live in new york call her office and raise some hell

I get how aggravating social media must be right now for anyone who doesn’t live in nyc, but unfortunately it’s reminded me of what I love about this stupid place. a city full of people who are too annoying to live anywhere else and simply will not shut up and I love all of us so much sorry!!

time to hit play on REDS (celebratory)

Andrew Cuomo gets publicly humiliated. Bill Clinton learns his endorsement is worth less than dogshit. What a great time to be a hater. A golden age.

imagine spending 35.6 million dollars on getting people to like you and they still dont like you lmfao

Haven't felt this kind of hope and optimism about New York since they opened the Margaritaville in Times Square

if you own one of these sweaters we're sending you to the guillotines first

The only thing in life you can count on these days is that, no matter the season, when the weather gets rough you will get a text from Con Ed begging you to not use their service that you pay out the ass for

first for bsky and first for @bwdr.bsky.social! an honor to go long and crazy on the "last" allegedly human movie star.

I love this piece so much, a delight and thrill to edit. Jadie is the best!

The speed and force with which I became Mission Impossible pilled does make me a little concerned for my susceptibility to falling for a cult or something

wrote about how much i hate wedding registries for cohabitating dinks and how lame it is that no one buys you gifts if you're single lol

happy 25th anniversary to bachelor no. 2, or, a perfect album i will talk about at any and every opportunity i get to do so
