Interesting encounter last evening in my local pub: Guy: Hey!! You're Gilbert Gottfried!! Me: Man, Gilbert Gottfried is dead. Guy: Well, yeah, he's dead, but you look just like him!! 🙄💔

A lot of fantastic artists and writers worked on this entirely human-generated show, based on a human-written book. We’re into humanity! Also fairytale characters who have rich and complicated lives in New York’s Hudson River Valley.

Whenever I listen to Springsteen's "Born to Run" I think, wow, that was my life when I was young; the death traps, the suicide raps; riding suicide machines.Then I remember what my youth was actually like: reading Sherlock Holmes, listening to the Beatles, and failing my drivers ed class 3 times.

Joseph Mitchell's essay collection Up In The Old Hotel. On a very short list of the greatest New York books ever written, IMHO. "Saloon-keepers, street preachers, steel-walking Mohawks, a bearded lady" and more. Read it twice through the year I bought it and it's calling to me back for a third!.

Biologists examining the DNA of wild cats found that the "tiger cat" group is actually five species instead of one. This study describes the first new cat identified in more than a century (Leopardus tilcayo) as well as a new subspecies (Leopardus tigrinus antisuyo)! 🧪 www.cell.com/current-biol...

Congress can’t indict people. They can have hearings and impeachment trials. But not criminal trials. Please don’t expect criminal trials and then blame democrats when you don’t get them. Midterms are step one. We have to win in 2028 and add seats to SCOTUS to hold people criminally accountable.

How can they justify leaving right now? Diesel costs just hit an all-time high. Our nation is at war. The bond market is quivering. The urgency of AI regulation has come to a critical moment. Congress should be working overtime. Instead Speaker Johnson sent them home.

Vote early. Election Day is the end of the election, not the beginning. With everything this regime is going to do to suppress our votes, it’s imperative that we leave plenty of time to correct any issues.

Mine was in London in the 1970's when I was a voucher clerk at an advertising agency called Bell, Chesney and Prtnrs., Ltd. The day Nixon resigned, they took me to a pub and then gave me the rest of the day off. I worked there a whole summer but never really understood what a voucher clerk was.

I saw Coyote Vs. Acme today and I haven't enjoyed a movie that much since Barbie. (To date, I've seen Barbie 5 times, 3 of those in a theatre). My next viewing of Coyote Vs. Acme will be this weekend and I imagine it won't be my last. Don't miss it!

I met her through my involvement with the Feminist Majority’s pro-choice Clinic Defense Alliance but she had changed my way of thinking years before that. This was the night I introduced her to my daughter, Lily. REST IN POWER, Gloria Steinem!

Immediately went out to get this issue of The New Yorker. Stopped at 7 different places: Pharmacies, news stands, bookstores. None of them carry the New Yorker. I live in New York and I couldn't find a copy of The New Yorker. 😂 P.S. Just found a place that sells The New Yorker! Sold out.

Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program. And they didn't bend the knee on DEI. Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women. And they are refusing to carry trump meat. So that's where I'll be shopping.

Here's Eric Lach in @newyorker.com with a review of Philip Lopate's "A Washington Irving Sketch Book" that's more biographical book report than book review, but still fun. Oh, and while Lopate in his books refused to take a stance on whether Irving was gay or not . . . in my 2008 bio, I didn't.
