"Well, in that case I'm certainly not telling YOU any secrets."
Folks, one day, if you're lucky, you will all reach an age at which not being in on everyone else's private business comes as sweet relief.

B. People do not have the right to assume you’ll keep something from your spouse—but they do have a right to assume you’ll hold your spouse to secrecy.
Michals died on Tuesday at 94. He often used the kind of ghost images he employed for this essay, notably in "The Spirit Leaves the Body" (1968), which you can see here. It was a true honor to share space with one of his final pieces of work. RIP. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/a...
Today I'm resharing the essay I wrote last year on Paul Reubens and his life in the closet. I hope you'll find it interesting but please at least take a moment to look at the art, which was created for the piece by a true gay trailblazer, Duane Michals. > www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/t...
He and Trump want a summer of NYC riot footage, of burning cars and broken store windows. They think that's how they can win the midterms.
Translation for non-sports people: Moonlight has just beaten La La Land for Best Picture.
"Fall into line"? You think if we're all very quiet when he screws up (daily), nobody will hear about it?
I hate the narcissistic sociopathy of "Everybody hates me so I must be doing something right" messaging. Sure, buddy. I hope he runs a smarter, less vain and less juvenile campaign than this outtake from The Boys suggests he will. Maybe with some earnestness and humility--or is that too beta?
Or the writers of the editorial are deliberately lying.
One of my many biases about Spielberg is that I don't have a huge amount of patience with moviegoers who want their childhoods spoon-fed back to them. If after the way The Fabelmans and Disclosure Day both address the problems with doing that, you still want it from him...then I just [shrug emoji].
One of the many things I love about Disclosure Day is that it's a complete refutation of the idea that there are two Steven Spielbergs, one the man who pleases the summer-blockbuster give-me-back-my-childhood fans, the other the Oscar guy. This is as personal a movie in its way as The Fabelmans.
It would be funny if it happened tonight, is all I'm saying.
This is the best Pride moment I'll ever have. A little gay boy (when you know you know), maybe 7, ran up to me today and said, "What's your style?!"
"What's...my style?"
"Yes! What STYLE do you have?"
"I'm too old to have a style!"
He beamed at me. "I change MY style EVERY DAY."
And he skipped away.

If you have ever emailed a writer to let them know you enjoyed something they wrote, you are among the noblest and best and most saintly in this entire world, and I hope you sleep really well tonight.
P.S. Why do we lease a car, you ask? Well, that's a long story, but the short version is, why does your MOTHER lease a car?
A dozen phone calls later, one of which was an extended horror-movie loop during which a bot tried to sell us MedicAlert necklaces and we could not leave, we finally got through to an antiquated device known as a "human." "Oh," she said. "Don't worry. The AI often reads reflections as scratches." x
Here's an AI horror story from our household today: We lease a car. It had a little tech problem. We took it in today and an hour later, we got a message saying, you know you're gonna have to pay [redacted absurd sum of $$] for those two big scratches. Us: What scratches? There are no scratches! >
I agree with all of that, but I still found the archives to be incredibly valuable when I was working on the Mike Nichols book. I would have killed to see even the worst possible taping of his original production of Streamers (which sadly, was never shot).
No, I think it's very appropriate to judge the people.
