My kid says this all the time too, and I love that it’s derogatory, but he’ll say it about things that are real and then I have to convince him it’s not AI. And so what it actually feels like is that kids are losing the ability to trust what they see with their own eyes 🙃

OK I made my ballot. I think I should've put GLOW instead of The Americans? Tough call.

Both "Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass" and "The Invite" were hilarious. Comedy is back at the movies!

Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation's independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city's waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.

Books don't tell readers who they personally are or who they are supposed to be. They do show readers a variety of characters. Implicit in that is this: "Here are some ways of being." Kids books aren't altering your kid to be someone new. They are simply showing them parts of humanity.

The first 20 minutes of last night’s Task (on HBO) were fantastic - tense, propulsive, very complicated but you never get lost or confused, and also it managed to pay off character moments they’ve been planting for the entire series. The show overall is not top-tier HBO but those 20 minutes were.
