Christine Baranski and Richard E Grant in a poster image advertising the play Hay Fever. Christine wears a sparkling outfit and stands next to Richard, who wears a formal suit with a bow tie. They are posing in an elegant room with a chandelier and striped wallpaper.

Poster for The Motive and the Cue, featuring Mark Gatiss and Johnny Flynn. The two performers stand back-to-back in thoughtful poses. One holds a folder and seems to be pondering, while the other has a hand on their chin. The image is in a black and white tone.

It's likely to rain on Trump's rally in Durant, OK today, which is amusing -- but more amusing is his avoidance of purple OKC and Tulsa. (Durant is a town of 18,000 in extremely red SE OK.)

Just watched the first 2 eps of Tommy &Tuppence. For me the show doesn't remotely work as adaptation, but the leads Antonia Thomas and Josh Dylan are enjoyable and it's fun to see faves like Imelda Staunton and, in the upcoming eps, Alex Jennings.

Instagram is packed with footage of bulldozers just destroying Big Bend at Trump’s behest and it is so upsetting. There are glyphs there dating back thousands of years and we will never get back what he’s done here. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/15/u...

Trump Backed Away From a Wall at Big Bend. But the Bulldozers Are Here.

Over the objections of environmentalists, local sheriffs and some state leaders, the Trump administration appears to be moving ahead with border infrastructure in one of Texas’ most beloved parks.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains. I considered Blur Parklife or Oasis What's the Story Morning Glory, but I am too basic for that.

I visited the small town of Marfa, TX. A local mariachi band greeted us with a song they wrote for our campaign! Our Frontera Tour has been full of special moments — but this was a highlight. 🎶

Spent an enjoyable afternoon at an NT Live screening of Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Lesley Manville is a force of nature, and Aidan Turner made for a really different Valmont. I was intrigued that the original play ending wasn't used, though.

This scene from A Very Royal Scandal is so telling right now, especially Sir Edward Young's cool response to Andrew: "You live with the consequences of your actions, sir." Would that such consequences find more people here on this side of the Atlantic. youtu.be/lHlE6kAgrAo?...

Really great essay on one of my favorite actors. The only thing I would add is that he had a gorgeous voice (which, apparently, is how the advent of sound in movies moved him from villain roles to make leads).

I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I still use maps or an atlas for a long trip. I can keep the overall route in my head better if I can visualize from a map. (This is also true of the London A-Z.) That said, I do appreciate sat-nav directions for knowing which lane to be in for exits, etc.

To me, one of the most chilling images in 20th-century children's lit is in L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time: that cookie-cutter street when the cookie-cutter children bounce balls in conformist rhythm. Camazotz is apparently aspirational for the modern GOP.

Marco Rubio is prepared to cut all aid to NATO and the UN, and he's revoking visas of students who've committed no crimes. But he's always come across as weak and submissive, so we'll keep on branding him a moderate for his entire career.
