I am working on a book right now and getting close to its finish line (!), and it is the first time I have ever been tempted to include in an afterword the information that a human wrote all of what you just read. I'm not going to. I refuse to give in to the idea that it needs to be said.

Wow, I admit I was not prepared to see him trailing Dianne Feinstein.
An amazing maverick who will be unbeatable in 2028 if he can just get past the small problem that nobody likes him.
Feels like the Dem race is going to be the "We need to be more like Republicans" contingent tearing each other's entrails out, and a nice wide lane for someone who's actually decent.
What a lovely memory.
Sad news. Mary Beth Hurt was such an interesting, spiky actress--it was always a pleasurable jolt when she showed up on screen. I would recommend Interiors, Chilly Scenes of Winter, or The World According to Garp as starting points. variety.com/2026/film/ne...
I'm fine with Kristen, but I miss Padma--I think that in later seasons, she got tougher and more idiosyncratic, and I really enjoyed that. Anyway, I'm mostly liking the new show, +/- the Grand Central Terminal departures board and the excitingly spontaneous chats about the virtues of Dawn PowerWash.
In her defense, she IS the alpha.
I was just looking for something on Google and it said "People Also Search for Brenda Vaccaro." I don't know if I will ever write a novel, but if I do, dibs on this title.
I feel pretty clear on what journalists like and don't like. Thanks.
Yes, let's all pretend bad things don't exist and never discuss or analyze them. That always works out beautifully.
Good one in NYC.
There's a long, bad journalistic tradition: All conservative grass-roots political movements are fascinating heartland phenomena, all progressive grass-roots political movements are ineffectual bleating. This one is written off as powered by white female college grads--the wine-moms slur, basically.
He quotes a conservative activist: "What really motivated the Tea Party was a deep, philosophical disagreement with Obama about what government should be." Yeah, if there's anything I remember about the Tea Party, it's all the deep philosophers. Were they the ones holding "Go Back to Africa" signs?
A predictable #NoKings take from Jeremy Peters: A small turnout will be ominous, a large one will be meaningless, all protests from the left are merely a "primal scream," and none of them mean much. The NYT has always loved protests as history but hated them as news. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/28/u...

This is kinda fab! (And no, it's not AI.)
But what if I could have altered the course of history
I had only a few seconds to sort through my options: 1) Ask him for a job interview at George 2) Ask him to knock me over again so I could enjoy it this time 3) Figure out a way for us to become friends on the spot or 4) Giggle nervously and stare and go on my way. Readers, I am, sadly, a 4) guy.
