Wee Thomas the cat entering at the end of The Lieutenant of Inishmore was, on Broadway, one of the most astonished, slow-building, long-rolling, and finally thunderous laughs I have ever heard in a theater.

Wrecking Ball for President 2028
Listen, I love the movie and I'm even fine with its Oscar win, but this is a lot.
[wipes proud tear from my eye]
America.
Brilliant.
Please note: The list I chose was specifically about gay men, but if you want to read fiction about NYC in the first years of the AIDS crisis, the story you should start with, chronologically and thematically, is Susan Sontag's "The Way We Live Now." Consider that a bonus Bluesky recommendation!
Nobody ever explains why, if something was a diabolically effective scheme that had dozens if not hundreds of willing participants and was planned with airtight secrecy, it instantly got noticed by 100,000 people on the internet.
Need a diversion from...everything? Try a deep dive into T Magazine's wildly fun and idiosyncratic issue of lists and recommendations, How to Be Cultured. My small contribution: 5 early AIDS-era novels (from 1988-93) about gay men and the crisis. Some deep cuts here! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Do you want me to pause this?
Also, all of you false flag/it's AI/it's a hoax/it's staged people: There has never been a better time to unfollow me.
No, Vance and the people next to him react quite quickly.
What's notable to me is that there are loud repeated gunshots, a roomful of people gets up in fear and alarm and starts to run out, and Trump....does not notice. It's not that he's staying calm; it's that he's missing it. I don't think I'm reading it wrong.
In fairness...
The memory-holing is complete. And the whole world has to answer right now, just to tell you once again who's bad. deadline.com/2026/04/box-...
Quite obviously a word. It's what everyone talks out of here!
Dr. Robby finally about to beat the living hell out of Langdon on The Pitt. (Or possibly it's just Noah Wyle congratulating Patrick Ball backstage at Becky Shaw. Which is, I reiterate, SO GOOD.)
