The last time I felt this good about basketball, I was nine.

Also, if anyone out there sees em-dashes in my work and accuses me of using AI, I can promise them a tongue-lashing that nobody on earth will doubt was generated by a human being whose flaws go to his very core! I WILL make them cry, and then make them cry again hours later just from remembering.
Wait, em-dashes are now seen as an AI thing? I was using them before AI was a glimmer in Satan's eye and I'm not stopping now. I love them; they can represent a shift in tone, a raised eyebrow, a leaning-forward, a tiny jolt of midsentence caffeine. It was all I could do not to use one in this post.
The problem with Brandon Gill is not that he "seems like a closet case" or "protests too much." The problem with Brandon Gill is that he is a vicious bigot--the son-in-law of Dinesh D'Souza!--and as the youngest GOP rep, the embodiment of the morally vacant future of a rock-bottom political party.
"I stopped reading this at"
That's funny, because "at" is where I stopped reading your reply.
This oral history of Steven Spielberg's movies by @bilgeebiri.bsky.social is the kind of treat we almost never get in deadline journalism--wide, deep, and illuminating. Let yourself enjoy one section at a time--or just devour the whole thing. www.vulture.com/article/oral...
I'm halfway through the new Lord of the Flies on Netflix and genuinely not sure if Jack Thorne's subtle, thoughtful, humane approach to these boys is what William Golding's cruel, unsparing story needs. But it's beautifully made and acted, and feels blessedly free of notes from the algorithm.
Great system, hope it works out for you.
Fascinating piece about the absurd boycott of an important filmmaker. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/o...
RIP David Hockney.
Openness between spouses (which is a preexisting ethical promise) should be presumed--and people should not attempt to interpose themselves in that just because they want to confide something.
"Well, in that case I'm certainly not telling YOU any secrets."
Folks, one day, if you're lucky, you will all reach an age at which not being in on everyone else's private business comes as sweet relief.
B. People do not have the right to assume you’ll keep something from your spouse—but they do have a right to assume you’ll hold your spouse to secrecy.
Michals died on Tuesday at 94. He often used the kind of ghost images he employed for this essay, notably in "The Spirit Leaves the Body" (1968), which you can see here. It was a true honor to share space with one of his final pieces of work. RIP. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/a...
Today I'm resharing the essay I wrote last year on Paul Reubens and his life in the closet. I hope you'll find it interesting but please at least take a moment to look at the art, which was created for the piece by a true gay trailblazer, Duane Michals. > www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/t...
He and Trump want a summer of NYC riot footage, of burning cars and broken store windows. They think that's how they can win the midterms.
Translation for non-sports people: Moonlight has just beaten La La Land for Best Picture.
"Fall into line"? You think if we're all very quiet when he screws up (daily), nobody will hear about it?
I hate the narcissistic sociopathy of "Everybody hates me so I must be doing something right" messaging. Sure, buddy. I hope he runs a smarter, less vain and less juvenile campaign than this outtake from The Boys suggests he will. Maybe with some earnestness and humility--or is that too beta?
