We realized that we were visiting DC during the UFC fight with some trepidation, but it turns out if you want to enjoy a deserted art museum, it's honestly not a bad choice

Ending the Tonys with Lorne Michaels sighing "it's been a long night" because he's mad he had to stand up is unfortunately hilarious #tonyawards

Liberation is the first Best Play winner by a woman since The Heidi Chronicles. Guess I better start my play about the women's movement for the 2066 season now!!! #tonyawards

Very happy about Bess Wohl, gonna have to look at the ceiling for a while and think about the fact she's the first female playwright to win Best Play IN 40 YEARS #tonyawards

The U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce has advanced H.R. 7661. Here's what you need to know about what the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act" means for book bannings: #booksky

Proud that @mbyrd.bsky.social wrote a really good explainer of the proposed book ban bill with the world's most misleading name. (May I suggest the "Start Letting a Random Christian Homeschooling Website Dictate what Books Are Allowed in Public Schools Act"?)

We may easily convince you that Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie isn't a Nirvana documentary, but @mbyrd.bsky.social would also like to add that it's a Back to the Future parody (and it's even a good one):

Yes, the Golden Globes are nonsense, and yes, I will be watching, because the alternative is paying attention to literally anything else.

Thrilled Google AI is now regularly updating everyone on how different celebrities feel about Jennifer Lopez's presence. Meryl Streep ambivalent about JLo's occasional presence! Mr. Beast furious about JLo's theoretical presence! We're curing cancer with this technology any minute now, I can feel it

1. Wow, NYT, "what did they do to deserve scorn" feels STRIKINGLY "what was she wearing"-adjacent, 2. Conservatives realized they can't say the f-slur on TV anymore, 3. GLEE IS ABOUT SHOW CHOIR and also not a documentary #theatre #theater #theaterkid

Hey, random reader here - I just wanted to say, the events you recount in your piece are devastating to learn, but I feel like I understand them so much better because your writing is so good. Thank you for writing this.

Already planning to vote for Zohran, but Michael Bloomberg, DoorDash, and hedge fund billionaire William Ackman sending mail to my house that says "watch out, he's gonna defund the police!" sure increases how much fun I will have doing it.

An political mailer that says "NYC can't risk a mayor who supports defunding the police. Reject Zohran Mamdani. Vote June 24." Small print at the bottom (text in next image)

Zooming in on the bottom of the mailer, small print reads "Paid for by Fix the City, Inc. COO Meaghan Brown. Top three donors: Michael Bloomberg, Doordash, and William Ackman."
