Took @boroughsofthedead.bsky.social Witches of Wall Street tour with its 13 stops (including Trinity Church with the blood red window), in an unintentional group of 13, on Walpurgis Night, and learned it’s always better to have the witches on your side…and a solid prenup

Allegedly, 'A Visit to the Haunted Chamber' by William Frederick Yeames (1869) depicts Anne Boleyn's bedroom in Hever Castle. #art #PhantomsFriday

Two women are in black riding habits warily step in to a bedchamber. The haunting may be the rats on the other side of the bed.

Holiday Hot Take Number 2: The Brits are wrong. But only because, as a Christmas film scholar, my honest hot take is that you don't get to tell someone else what constitutes a Christmas film for them. If it's part of your Christmas tradition, it's a Christmas film.

theguardian.com

British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie

Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips

What's a traveler looking for recommendations to do these days? 90% of AI suggestions are non-existent, out of date, or inaccurate. You can't count on TripAdvisor, as they only push places that pay top commissions. There's almost no traditional media left. So where do folks go for real information?

Did women ruin the workplace? No! Did I personally ruin my own weekend writing about the cynical fuckery that led to the New York Times asking that question? I sure did! Huge thanks to @moiradonegan.bsky.social for lending her expertise and insight to my ranting

Women didn’t ruin the workplace. Capitalism did

When your debate centers on whether women should exist in public, you’ve already lost.

For National Cat Day, my favorite kitty-Hollywood connection: 152 black cats (and their owners) auditioning for the title role in a film adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Black Cat” (LIFE magazine, 1961).

A Lifelong Upper West Sider says: "I was excited by the prospect of an UWS ghost tour, but also apprehensive that it might just be a rehash of history and stories that I already know. I was pleasantly surprised to also learn many new spooky things about my neighborhood." This is HUGE praise.

A few years ago a neighbor left Boo Buckets on everyone's doormat with the cutesy "You've been BOOed!" note and the response, unanimously, was "WTF is this shit?" So glad we live in NYC, where we trick or treat in bodegas like normal people.

Ghost tours offer a kind of history that might not be found in a museum; they can also tell you how a city sees itself.
