Every episode of “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me” from 2013 to 2015: HOST: President Obama has signed an executive order banning… PANELIST 1: Twerking! [uproarious laughter] PANELIST 2: No one tell the Biebs! [laughter so sustained it’s kind of scary]
Congratulations to this person for accurately describing the function of PopCrave in the media ecosystem for the first time ever on this app. It isn’t the AP; it could not in fact break Watergate. It’s E News! That’s a great thing to be.
“The Devil Wears Prada 2”… not since the social media feeds of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2021 have so many photos of people walking been published
Did no one ever just say “Happy birthday! Hope you have a year of good health and new adventures” or whatever to this man? It was always this weird Proustian code
Bill Clinton's birthday letter to Epstein: "It’s reassuring isn’t it, to have lasted as long, across all the years of learning and knowing, adventures and [illegible word], and also to have your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference and the solace of friends"
really neither here nor there but I have only ever heard the title of his previous novel to the tune of Becky G’s “Shower”… 🎶 dancing in the mirror / Lincoln in the Bardo 🎶

Interesting thread, but neglects to account for the rule that every Brooklyn "dog parent" already lives by: Dog ownership is at once literally the same as parenting a human child, but also morally superior to doing that. (Don't worry about how that works!)
This is a policy choice. We are choosing dogs over children. If we want cities that support families—rather than replacing them—we need to start acting like it. Full post on Thesis Driven: thesisdriven.com/p/on-urban-dogs

Those who are curious how the New York Times culture desk might reinvent new forms for the review, as they claim to want, should look at their books coverage. Endless recommendation engines and dross from what was THE authoritative book review department

I don’t think this particular author of a 2023 memoir is the best vessel for the argument (if it is one) “a description of a book’s premise, not written by the book’s author, is off-putting”
“One of the most original and brilliant writers today”’s new novel is about an interview with an old man that doesn’t get recorded because of a phone mishap?
come for the behind-the-scenes drama at the cover shoot, stay for the great story about TV's next big sci-fi bet, by @DPD_ wp.me/pc8uak-1lG5n7
I spent the past month and a half working on this!
This week's cover story: ‘Alien: Earth’ Is Wildly Ambitious, Expensive and Stars a Talented Actor Who Refuses to Play by Hollywood’s Rules. Inside FX's Risky Bet for a New Blockbuster Series wp.me/pc8uak-1lG5n7
I feel like the most significant comparison to “Eddington” is not a movie but the novel “The Emperor’s Children” (which also came out almost exactly five years after the chaotic and destabilizing moment in history it chronicles)
