This is about eight thousand red flags in one story. I hope my district is not dopey enough to fall for Jack Schlossberg, but with so many Democrats in the race, it's possible.

Wow—Jack Schlossberg is an even more wildly unfit candidate for Congress than I feared. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/n... Fortunately, however…

LOL thank you! In this case, at least, I am confident in my advice.

Theater people--start the day right! From MCC's 2026 Miscast, in which Broadway folks sing songs they could never get cast for, go to 1:26:30 and watch the great Brian Stokes Mitchell sing "Back to Before" from Ragtime and blow the minds of the other actors on stage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=feXE...

That's fine. They can talk to each other; they're good at that.

One good thing that entertainment journalists covering The Odyssey can do is never to ask Nyong'o, Page, or Nolan about this. When a prominent racist and transphobe says something racist and transphobic, go make his life miserable and leave his targets alone. They have nothing to defend or explain.

Elon Musk is criticizing the casting of both Oscar-winning actor Lupita Nyong’o and transgender actor Elliot Page in director Christopher Nolan’s upcoming blockbuster “The Odyssey.”

This gives me a lot to catch up on--thanks!

What current comedy do you laugh at the most? Genuine question, and I'm not asking what you think the best one is, just the one that sparks the most laughs from you (if you're a laugher).

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

Yes, I've seen The Bear. My sides still hurt!

Just caught up with the series finale of The Comeback. That might be this year's comedy Emmy.

This is every corporate meeting about diversity I attended in the 1990s.

YouTube dropping its big ugly influencer-ass-looking black spaceship of a tent directly on top of the Lincoln Center fountain is as vivid a representation of old culture versus new as you will see this year. (Bonus touch: YouTube has also blacked out the doors and windows of Geffen Hall with ads.)

YouTube's tent, plopped down on Lincoln Center's eastern plaza with the slogan "Welcome to the YouTube Era"; presumably this is part of TV Upfront week.

I just don't have the patience anymore to do the extra post at the end of every thread where I explain that I know that the bad things people do and say are bad and that I disapprove of them. If you follow me, I believe you already know that and don't need to hear it.

A lot of young gay people don't get the degree to which cruelty was not just aimed at gay men, but was the language gay men spoke to each other. I don't mean "The library is open!", I mean demolishing viciousness. So I don't excuse the worst of Reed's work. But I do consider the world that made him.

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

Working on the book I've been researching and writing over the last five years has made me think a lot about what it must have been like to be a gay man born in 1938, and thus a criminal, essentially. The armor you needed, the vulnerability you had to hide, and what that effort cost. >

If you want to read something Reed wrote when he had the juice, here's a 1966 story he reported when he visited the shoot of Otto Preminger's Hurry Sundown in Louisiana. I came across it 20 years ago and have never forgotten it. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/1966/08/21/a...

'Like They Could Cut Your Heart Out' (Published 1966)

He loved the spotlight; he loved being on TV; and too young, he allowed alcohol (and maybe the closet) to curdle his talent and turned bitchiness and misanthropy into his brand. As a critic, he was sometimes funny, more often offensive and inattentive. But I'll always love that early good work. RIP.

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

Rex Reed was a fascinating man. In the late 1960s, he became the first entertainment journalist (for the NY Herald Tribune and the NYT) to be allowed to write in a recognizably queer voice for mainstream publications. The best of his on-set reports from back then are among the best ever written. >

Man, a lot of people here really get off on being ankle weights.

This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

Totally true. I devoured this show (I say with a measure of shame) and I doubt I ever would have noticed it if it hadn't been on a service I watch regularly.
