YouTube dropping its big ugly influencer-ass-looking black spaceship of a tent directly on top of the Lincoln Center fountain is as vivid a representation of old culture versus new as you will see this year. (Bonus touch: YouTube has also blacked out the doors and windows of Geffen Hall with ads.)

YouTube's tent, plopped down on Lincoln Center's eastern plaza with the slogan "Welcome to the YouTube Era"; presumably this is part of TV Upfront week.

I just don't have the patience anymore to do the extra post at the end of every thread where I explain that I know that the bad things people do and say are bad and that I disapprove of them. If you follow me, I believe you already know that and don't need to hear it.

A lot of young gay people don't get the degree to which cruelty was not just aimed at gay men, but was the language gay men spoke to each other. I don't mean "The library is open!", I mean demolishing viciousness. So I don't excuse the worst of Reed's work. But I do consider the world that made him.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.social6d ago(source)

Working on the book I've been researching and writing over the last five years has made me think a lot about what it must have been like to be a gay man born in 1938, and thus a criminal, essentially. The armor you needed, the vulnerability you had to hide, and what that effort cost. >

If you want to read something Reed wrote when he had the juice, here's a 1966 story he reported when he visited the shoot of Otto Preminger's Hurry Sundown in Louisiana. I came across it 20 years ago and have never forgotten it. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/1966/08/21/a...

'Like They Could Cut Your Heart Out' (Published 1966)

He loved the spotlight; he loved being on TV; and too young, he allowed alcohol (and maybe the closet) to curdle his talent and turned bitchiness and misanthropy into his brand. As a critic, he was sometimes funny, more often offensive and inattentive. But I'll always love that early good work. RIP.

Rex Reed was a fascinating man. In the late 1960s, he became the first entertainment journalist (for the NY Herald Tribune and the NYT) to be allowed to write in a recognizably queer voice for mainstream publications. The best of his on-set reports from back then are among the best ever written. >

Man, a lot of people here really get off on being ankle weights.

This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

Totally true. I devoured this show (I say with a measure of shame) and I doubt I ever would have noticed it if it hadn't been on a service I watch regularly.

No, you're throwing a tantrum by accusing me of things I didn't say. And now, you're saying the exact same thing I started with, which is that he is far from an ideal choice but the alternative is worse. Also, Ben, I'm a Jew, if that's how we're playing this.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 11(source)

I haven't said anything about "everyone" or "the absolute truth," so stop your tantrum. People here are being grabbed off the street and put in camps. Maybe stop shouting that he has a tattoo--which absolutely nobody is defending!--and consider what is happening in this country.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 11(source)

You can hope they die in a cell all you want, but that means less than nothing if you vote in a way that helps to keep them in power.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 11(source)

Yeah, I'm willing to go very far to make sure that a party full of ACTUAL antisemites and open Nazi sympathizers doesn't continue to hold power. So I very much hope he wins, and if you care about the scourge of antisemitism in the U.S., you should too.

It was a very "Am I hallucinating?" moment!

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 11(source)

I did not expect my Mike Nichols book to make an extended appearance on Last Week Tonight With John Oliver tonight, but it did! You'll never guess the reason...unless you follow dolphin news closely.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 10(source)

...because we like it here?

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 10(source)

I think 40-41 minutes as opposed to the old days of 47-49 minutes is actually a huge impediment.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMay 10(source)

I mean, I liked college too, but by the time I was 18 I realized that sharing a bathroom with as few people as possible was going to be a life goal.

This is about a 32-year-old man who earns $200K a year and is now CONSIDERING moving out of the Bushwick co-housing space he shares with 17 roommates. I have so many questions. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

How a Geologist Lives on $200,000 in Bushwick, Brooklyn

After starting a new job, Daniel Babin can afford to shop for a pricey vintage guitar and rethink living with 17 roommates.
