I had a vivid dream last night about saying goodbye to Mel Brooks on his deathbed (a cot backstage at a B'way theatre). He was so kind to me when I was the receptionist at Talk Mag in 2001, so I told him that. (Like, even his wife knew my name! He was so nice.) What an amazing person. 4+ more years!

Anyone else read "Biological War: A Scenario" by Annie Jacobsen over the summer? This was the beginning of the scenario, this thing that is happening now (Siberian lab, pneumonic plague, everything): www.cnn.com/2026/10/04/e...

If you were transfixed by THE HOT ZONE when you were young, or then read SPILLOVER and trusted it, then as a career scary diseases reporter, I urge you to read this thread. Science moves on. People discover fresh stuff. The work careers were built on becomes outdated. Be open to the new. Please.

I get my Pioneer Valley news and opinions from the Northampton Reddit sub. These comments put that bizarre article into perspective as a story of a few outlier batshit rage monsters bullying a homeless woman. (The humor is also acknowledged; don't worry.) www.reddit.com/r/northampto...

Here's a secret nobody knows: To BRIEF someone is to share your knowledge with them. To DEBRIEF someone is to *extract knowledge from them*. Go forth and write TV shows, movies, novels, works of non-fiction, and articles that actually get this right.

I feel bad for the UK presenter, panel show mainstay, and Celebrity Traitors star Jonathan Ross for having to share his name with a ICE bully murderer who isn't going to be having a good time from now on/ever again.

All chatbot owners are responsible for every single action of their chatbots, including suicides and child porn. And every one of them should be held criminally liable. You can disagree if you like; I'm just telling you the conclusion future historians and ethicists will reach and teach.

Just rewatched S4 of "Homeland" (chosen to get out of the way of a certain arc). 12 perfect episodes. Mission after mission, twist after twist. Today, we'd get one of these episodes stretched into 6 or 8 and called a season. Was "Homeland" just that good, or do we not realize how bad TV is now?

Ben Smith on hiring Benny Johnson at BuzzFeed: “Benny represented, to me, an untapped new well of traffic,” Smith wrote, “a new identity to plumb.” Smith, now the editor-in-chief of Semafor, writes that he allowed his eyes to “skate over” what he describes as Johnson’s “race-baiting” posts on the New Black Panther Party, an obscure group that Johnson implied had influence over President Obama. “I certainly didn’t run his work through,” Smith admits, “plagiarism-detection software.”

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

About 15 years ago, I discovered that, based on rewatches, Rob Reiner was my favorite director. The Princess Bride, Spinal Tap, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men… But he was also a tireless activist for progressive causes. Probably the main one in Hollywood! This is awful.

Just finished Celebrity Traitors and I would like to find the show’s unintentionally hilarious incidental vocals on Spotify or something. They consist of a woman’s voice randomly whisper-singing fragments like “Who to trussssst” or “So much manipulationnnn.” Like 100 of these!
