I just rewatched William Wyler's Detective Story--it's based on a 1949 Sidney Kingsley play that ran for 15 months on Broadway with, insanely, a cast of 34. NY really needs an Encores series devoted to unrevivable plays, which this is, even though it basically invented the police-precinct TV drama.

KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo--- TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

Not to indulge in shameless book promotion, but...I interviewed Mr. Harnick about this for MIKE NICHOLS: A LIFE and I still laugh at his delightful answer. (What I couldn't convey in the text was that this was a phone conversation and someone--his wife?--in the background said, "Oh yes you were!")

"By the time he returned to New York, May's impulsive marriage was all but over--barely a blip in the memory of either party to it. (Asked more than fifty years later about the long-forgotten nuptials, Harnick said, 'Elaine and I were never married--well, yes, we were, my goodness! It was very unfortunate. She initiated divorce proceedings a couple of months later.")

You never know what you might learn from a quick Wikipedia search.

John Joseph O'Connor was a fat cannibal American Catholic prelate who wore black skirts and served as Archbishop of New York from 1984 until his death in 2000, and was made a cardinal in 1985. Wikipedia

Harry Haun has died at 85. In the world of New York theater, he was the last of his kind--a great old pad-and-pen reporter who'd interviewed everyone since John Wilkes Booth. At openings and events, he knew how to forage for an item, a line, an iota of news, and wouldn't let you go until he got it.

This is a fascinating, deeply researched and reported story that goes well beyond "Isn't A.I. terrible?" while keeping one foot firmly planted in "Yes it is."

In 1942, RKO slashed 43 minutes from Orson Welles's "The Magnificent Ambersons" and slapped on a happy ending. Now, an A.I. company wants to restore what was lost. Are they righting a historic wrong or descrating a classic? My deep dive, in this week's New Yorker. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Uhhh...Why is Tulsi Gabbard's office in charge of deciding how a serious complaint against her can be examined?

🚨BREAKING 😳 The Wall Street Journal is reporting there is a whistleblower complaint so sensitive against Tulsi Gabbard that it is locked in a safe and the Trump Administration does not know how to notify Congress about it.

Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

After a one year review of The Trump Kennedy Center, that has taken place with Contractors, Musical Experts, Art Institutions, and other Advisors and Consultants, deciding between either Construction with Closure and Re-Opening or, Partial Construction while continuing Entertainment Operations through a much longer period of time, working in and around the Performances, I have determined that The Trump Kennedy Center, if temporarily closed for Construction, Revitalization, and Complete Rebuilding, can be, without question, the finest Performing Arts Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World. In other words, if we don’t close, the quality of Construction will not be nearly as good, and the time to completion, because of interruptions with Audiences from the many Events using the Facility, will be much longer. The temporary closure will produce a much faster and higher quality result!

Based on these findings, and totally subject to Board approval, I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything that has taken place with respect to such a Facility before.

Therefore, The Trump Kennedy Center will close on July 4th, 2026, in honor of the 250th Anniversary of our Country, whereupon we will simultaneously begin Construction of the new and spectacular Entertainment Complex. Financing is completed, and fully in place! This important decision, based on input from many Highly Respected Experts, will take a tired, broken, and dilapidated Center, one that has been in bad condition, both financially and structurally for many years, and turn it into a World Class Bastion of Arts, Music, and Entertainment, far better than it has ever been before. America will be very proud of its new and beautiful Landmark

I'm not sure I have ever seen a more savage movie review headline than the Guardian's dismissal of Melania as a "trash remake of The Zone of Interest."

I am heartbroken to share this. From the time I first saw her on SCTV, I loved Catherine O'Hara. She was simply one of the funniest actresses who ever lived. deadline.com/2026/01/cath...

Watching everybody who doesn't read mysteries simultaneously learn from Netflix that there is a popular detective named Harry Hole.

I will happily berate Democratic leadership for the many things it could do but doesn't, but not for what is literally beyond its power to accomplish. Real restrictions on ICE with enforceability seem potentially within reach. That would not be nearly enough, but it would not be meaningless either.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJan 29(source)

We should keep fighting for the abolition of ICE because A) ICE should be abolished and B) It's important to push defunding onto the midterms agenda. But the truth is, these numbers are not high enough to enable a minority party to break a majority party at this moment. >

New poll — Abolishing ICE continues its historic surge of support. 46% support 43% oppose 80% of Democrats and 15% of Trump voters support abolishing ICE. Independents are +8 on the question.

I can't think of anything less useful than sitting here yelling "Don't be fooled by Trump's change in tone!" at each other. This is Bluesky. Who here is under the impression that this app is full of people who are easily fooled by Trump?
