I am thrilled (and dazed, and bewildered, and 😭❤😍🫥) to share the news that "Here There are Blueberries" is opening on Broadway in November. I'm so proud of my Tectonic friends, who have changed my life. Please come see "me" on the Broadway stage! www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/t...

Glen Hansard, the iconic Irish singer, moved through the world eager to dispense some wisdom about the heart to someone who needed it—or someone who didn’t know they needed it, Hanif Abdurraqib writes. www.newyorker.com/news/postscr...

Do not watch Sesame Street on Tubi with the subtitles on 😭. I swear, I didn't edit or add anything. Is it hilarious? Yes, but also, they need to fix this immediately. Absolutely incomprehensible and bad

Screenshot of Elmo next to his pet's fishbowl in Elmo's World. The subtitles say "We. Dorothy's been thinking abou and down to what’s her daughter."

A personal note: I was very touched to hear Best Editing winner Andy Jurgensen thank his aunt Barbara Hall. As an Academy archivist, she took an interest in my research and, miraculously, found me George Stevens's pocket diary. A miracle. Five Came Back would not have been what it was without her.

No, Diet Coke is modeled on New Coke, which is why it tastes different. Coke Zero is based on Coca Cola Classic, hence the same (or similar) taste.

I refuse to give the NYT my eyeballs, so I can't speak to the specifics of this article. But any historians attempting to use AI for either writing or research should be run out of the field. AI is inherently unable to do anything we need it to do to understand and communicate history.

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right? Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.
