If you've never seen Silkwood, stop everything and sit down. One of Mike Nichols's best films--and it remains maddeningly difficult to obtain, for no good reason.
I saw Every Brilliant Thing on Broadway today. Daniel Radcliffe might be the good-vibes-iest performer on a New York stage right now. His joy in what he does is so appealing—and he does it really well.
Just went on another site and saw that older gay men are now being referred to as "mantiques" and I think I'm just gonna sit here and stare at the wall for the next 30 or 45 minutes.
At this point, journalists who still persist in declining to talk about racism and cruelty as key GOP motivators are essentially colluding in writing fiction about the present state of politics and of the country.
This is an interesting interview with Graham Platner. Here's a gift link. If you are inclined to scream at me about it or about him, please direct your energy elsewhere. Thanks!

LOL that the general reaction to this is "Bad Alex Bores is hot, I would do him." Never change, BlueSky.
You can Google "campaign against Alex Bores" for some interesting stories about how this has become a hugely funded battle against his drive to regulate AI. I don't entirely know how I feel about Bores but on that particular issue, he's on the right side.
Heads up, NYCers: The heavily funded campaign against Alex Bores, who is running to replace Jerry Nadler in Congress, has now reached the "Let's darken his skin to make him seem swarthy and foreign and scary" phase. Left: A Bores mailer. Right: An anti-Bores mailer.
This is not a "controversy" or a "dispute" about casting. It's a racist position being echoed and amplified by other racists. Journalists need to learn to use the word "racist" much more freely; right now, too many publications treat it as unprovable unless self-reported.
This is about eight thousand red flags in one story. I hope my district is not dopey enough to fall for Jack Schlossberg, but with so many Democrats in the race, it's possible.
Wow—Jack Schlossberg is an even more wildly unfit candidate for Congress than I feared. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/n...
Fortunately, however…
LOL thank you! In this case, at least, I am confident in my advice.
Theater people--start the day right! From MCC's 2026 Miscast, in which Broadway folks sing songs they could never get cast for, go to 1:26:30 and watch the great Brian Stokes Mitchell sing "Back to Before" from Ragtime and blow the minds of the other actors on stage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=feXE...
That's fine. They can talk to each other; they're good at that.
One good thing that entertainment journalists covering The Odyssey can do is never to ask Nyong'o, Page, or Nolan about this. When a prominent racist and transphobe says something racist and transphobic, go make his life miserable and leave his targets alone. They have nothing to defend or explain.
This gives me a lot to catch up on--thanks!
What current comedy do you laugh at the most? Genuine question, and I'm not asking what you think the best one is, just the one that sparks the most laughs from you (if you're a laugher).
Yes, I've seen The Bear. My sides still hurt!
Just caught up with the series finale of The Comeback. That might be this year's comedy Emmy.
