It really is pretty shocking that Mamdani won even after referring to his dad’s cousin as his aunt when she was really his first cousin once removed

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

Dick Cheney was a cruel bureaucrat who made corrupt institutions more abusive. Officials in those institutions then surrendered what was left of their morals to accommodate his evil vision. In time, those institutions became even more corrupt. What politicians say today will be revealing of the rot.

I've lived in New York but could totally see myself living in LA, but you're absolutely right: you'd be a completely different person after 6 months out there

I’m enjoying the games and the drama, but I honestly believe if I was a real fan of either of these teams I’d be dead from a coronary.

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the law’ in Caribbean strikes β€œDon’t let them make you break the law,” reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.

"The new billboards are designed to inform troops of legal resources … 'The [Southern Command] strikes … represent the most blatantly illegal act that this administration has had the military carry out.'"

Star Trek I've followed you through parallel dimensions and goatees being evil and wormholes and aliens destroying earth to find whales and stolen brains and even Alison Pill singing but I draw the line at the implication that Wham will still be played at wedding receptions in the 23rd century

They want us to return to theaters but do they give us a Ladyhawke 40th anniversary roadshow? They do not.

The Harbingers debuted 2 weeks ago.

We've had an absolutely amazing reaction, 1 of the most positive for any show I've done.

But it's still early days, & I want this show to find its audience.

So if you're enjoying it, please:

- Rate it
- Review it
- Tell your friends

Help us get the word out.

I've written two pilots in the past three months and neither makes me want to throw my laptop into a lake and the lesson is that I 100 percent need *actual* deadlines that I didn't just make up

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

Mamdani: "I want to use this moment to speak to the Muslims of NYC. I want to speak to the memory of my aunt, who stopped taking the subway after 9/11 because she did not feel safe in a hijab. I want to speak for the Muslims who work for our city ... only to see their leaders spit in their face."
