This is extraordinary. I will miss Colbert so much, but he is going out blazing.

Incrementalism as an excuse for doing nothing is bad. Incrementalism as an alternative to doing nothing is a part of the history of almost everything we have won that's worth winning.

It's very strange that there are people here who are arguing that these demands amount to nothing.

in real terms, #7 would give states leverage to put an end to surges, #8 would give states the ability to outright stop construction of new detention facilities, #1 and #6 would slow the rate at which DHS could train and deploy officers, #2 and #10 would likely shrink the pool of recruits

(Don't get me wrong; I am not disputing "evil," only "mastermind.")

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialFeb 4(source)

I know it feels better to think we've all been screwed by an evil mastermind than by an arrogant weasel with Big Divorce Energy and a wildly inflated sense of his own abilities and skill sets, but...take a hard look at Jeff Bezos.

Never attribute malice to what can be easily explained by incompetence.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialFeb 4(source)

Jeff Bezos destroyed the Washington Post because he couldn't admit that he didn't know how to run a newspaper, and also because he felt entitled to turn it into his personal plaything. Both are functions of his ego, his greed, his heedlessness, and his insecurity. What a dark day.

I just rewatched William Wyler's Detective Story--it's based on a 1949 Sidney Kingsley play that ran for 15 months on Broadway with, insanely, a cast of 34. NY really needs an Encores series devoted to unrevivable plays, which this is, even though it basically invented the police-precinct TV drama.

KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo--- TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

Not to indulge in shameless book promotion, but...I interviewed Mr. Harnick about this for MIKE NICHOLS: A LIFE and I still laugh at his delightful answer. (What I couldn't convey in the text was that this was a phone conversation and someone--his wife?--in the background said, "Oh yes you were!")

"By the time he returned to New York, May's impulsive marriage was all but over--barely a blip in the memory of either party to it. (Asked more than fifty years later about the long-forgotten nuptials, Harnick said, 'Elaine and I were never married--well, yes, we were, my goodness! It was very unfortunate. She initiated divorce proceedings a couple of months later.")

You never know what you might learn from a quick Wikipedia search.

John Joseph O'Connor was a fat cannibal American Catholic prelate who wore black skirts and served as Archbishop of New York from 1984 until his death in 2000, and was made a cardinal in 1985. Wikipedia

Harry Haun has died at 85. In the world of New York theater, he was the last of his kind--a great old pad-and-pen reporter who'd interviewed everyone since John Wilkes Booth. At openings and events, he knew how to forage for an item, a line, an iota of news, and wouldn't let you go until he got it.

This is a fascinating, deeply researched and reported story that goes well beyond "Isn't A.I. terrible?" while keeping one foot firmly planted in "Yes it is."

In 1942, RKO slashed 43 minutes from Orson Welles's "The Magnificent Ambersons" and slapped on a happy ending. Now, an A.I. company wants to restore what was lost. Are they righting a historic wrong or descrating a classic? My deep dive, in this week's New Yorker. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Uhhh...Why is Tulsi Gabbard's office in charge of deciding how a serious complaint against her can be examined?

🚨BREAKING 😳 The Wall Street Journal is reporting there is a whistleblower complaint so sensitive against Tulsi Gabbard that it is locked in a safe and the Trump Administration does not know how to notify Congress about it.

I love how every year the Grammys get into hour 4 and the vibe is "Everybody get comfortable, we still have 8 or 10 more weird things we wanna do."

Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

After a one year review of The Trump Kennedy Center, that has taken place with Contractors, Musical Experts, Art Institutions, and other Advisors and Consultants, deciding between either Construction with Closure and Re-Opening or, Partial Construction while continuing Entertainment Operations through a much longer period of time, working in and around the Performances, I have determined that The Trump Kennedy Center, if temporarily closed for Construction, Revitalization, and Complete Rebuilding, can be, without question, the finest Performing Arts Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World. In other words, if we don’t close, the quality of Construction will not be nearly as good, and the time to completion, because of interruptions with Audiences from the many Events using the Facility, will be much longer. The temporary closure will produce a much faster and higher quality result!

Based on these findings, and totally subject to Board approval, I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything that has taken place with respect to such a Facility before.

Therefore, The Trump Kennedy Center will close on July 4th, 2026, in honor of the 250th Anniversary of our Country, whereupon we will simultaneously begin Construction of the new and spectacular Entertainment Complex. Financing is completed, and fully in place! This important decision, based on input from many Highly Respected Experts, will take a tired, broken, and dilapidated Center, one that has been in bad condition, both financially and structurally for many years, and turn it into a World Class Bastion of Arts, Music, and Entertainment, far better than it has ever been before. America will be very proud of its new and beautiful Landmark

I'm not sure I have ever seen a more savage movie review headline than the Guardian's dismissal of Melania as a "trash remake of The Zone of Interest."

Melania reviews are in. Not sure I've ever seen this from Metacritic before.
