If this were Russia, everyone from the New York Times on down would be calling him a “regime-linked oligarch”

Since I am an awards show girlie now for work reasons, it makes such a difference when artists reflect reality (Grammys) vs pretending like the outside world doesn’t exist (Golden Globes)

It’s always the ones you most expect.

Uncanny

I get the joy over “Melania” doc isn’t selling ANY TICKETS story but as an avid documentary watcher I can say I’ve never bought a ticket for one days upon days in advance. Everyone do this story Friday, it’s fine!

Heard the break was around 86th and Riverside or West End but my building is a few blocks away and affected
