You guys would not believe the universality of this behavior in Adam Carolla's alcoholic rapist group chat!

“'Most every guy I know did what he’s being accused of at one point or another with their girlfriend at some point after a night of drinking,' complained the Donald Trump-loving comedian Adam Carolla." www.salon.com/2026/07/15/m...

When you bring this up, barely one millisecond elapses before people start yelling about unions. But the truth is, there are many reasons that it's now prohibitively expensive to capitalize musicals, and no solution will be found unless everyone is willing to leave their preconceptions at the door.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJul 14(source)

I don't think Cats: The Jellicle Ball closing is in itself a crisis, but ALW is not wrong in noting that there is no viable economic model for bringing a musical to Broadway in 2026. "We'll break even if we sell out for two years" is not a model. It's a prayer. www.broadwayworld.com/article/Andr...

Stephen Miller on Lindsey Graham: "He's someone we're still gonna be talking about 200 years from now"

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJul 13(source)

This is stunning. The cruelest possible eulogy for Lindsey Graham comes from the man to whom he willingly handed over the threadbare remnants of his soul.

Trump on Lindsey Graham: "He had one bad moment in the January 6 thing when he stood up -- 'alright, now I've had it, that's it, I can't do it anymore' -- then he called me about 40 minutes later and said, 'Did I really said that? I can't believe it.' And he took it back."

Tom Cruise is absolutely going for that Oscar by undertaking an astonishing physical transformation into...what he would look like in 2026 under normal circumstances. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSnE...

And instead of being upset at feeling misled, I would suggest that you put that energy toward an understanding that paywalls exist because journalists and writers need to get paid, and reframe your experience of clicking on stories to incorporate an understanding of why they're often not free.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJul 12(source)

Here's the thing, and I say this without anger: I am not a public utility or service provider. I'm a guy who writes things and posts other things. You either do or do not follow me; either way, it costs you nothing. And posts are short. So no, I am not going to add "Warning: Paywall" every time. >

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJul 12(source)

Imagine driving to the theater thinking that movies are free!

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJul 12(source)

I do, but they're not infinite, so I decide on gift links case by case.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJul 12(source)

To the people here who bark "Paywall!" at me when I post a link to something: Yeah. I'm aware.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJul 12(source)

People who violate your "shared values" do not share your values.

On ABC, Senator Chris Coons, a Democrat from Delaware, said he had had dinner with Mr. Graham last week in Ankara, Turkey on Mr. Graham’s 71st birthday. Mr. Coons recalled his intense political battles with Mr. Graham even as he remembered him fondly. “We had knock-down, drag-out fights,” he said.

He pointed to the confirmation process for Brett M. Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court as “exceptionally ugly” and said “there were other things he did I really, really disagreed with and thought were bad choices and violated our shared values. But I also saw him in his best moments, fighting fiercely for the underdog in America.”

Previous post deleted because I didn’t quite believe it once I wrote it.

It's also important to remember that if Lindsey Graham had had the courage to come out as a gay man, he would still have been every bit the terrible person he ended up being and probably would have cheerfully voted against our interests. I would gently warn against discussing it as the key to him.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJul 12(source)

People deserve to be remembered for who they were. Lindsey Graham tried on many different skins and ultimately settled on the very worst version of himself. There were, at one point, a few shreds of something you could call principles--not many, but they existed. There were none at the end.

I love this. The NYT's response to having their reporters subpoenaed is a piece portraying a frantic Kash Patel doing an irate Trump's bidding that at once humiliates both men and makes clear that this White House will never, ever, ever be able to plug the leaks. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/u...

White House Directed Patel to Oversee Investigation Involving Times Reporting

The F.B.I. director spent about eight hours at the White House Friday focused on the effort, which led to the subpoenaing of several Times reporters who wrote about the security of Air Force One.

Just heard from the writer that this was an editing glitch...and we have all been there! It happens! So I'm closing comments.

[Raises hand politely, clears throat]: Gay men actually count as men.

From an NYT essay on looksmaxxing: "There have always been men who cared about how they looked--remember metrosexuals--but grooming used to be more associated with women and gay men."

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJul 12(source)

It happens to all of us!

This is incredibly unfair and hurtful to people who would prefer to be lied to.
