I spent that whole match rooting for Frances Tiafoe and then when Alex Michelsen dissolved in tears in Tiafoe's arms, I'm, like, oh no! don't! you'll win too! 🥺😢 Tennis is the cruelest, greatest sport in the world. 🎾 #USOpen

This tired blame the media tactic that attracts the aggrieved billionaire set is not what the regular audience wants and displays an astonishing ignorance of what it does want. Most of all, it’s insider to the point of boredom and the opposite of creative.

It was a privilege to see Arcadia staged at Steppenwolf in the 1990s. There are few contemporary playwrights of his caliber. #TomStoppard

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.
