I choose to believe that the Vances had planned to name a daughter after the painter Alice Neel & got as close as they could with a boy name.

A screenshot of a Washington Post headline and dek that reads: JD and Usha Vance announce birth of fourth child

The birth of the baby, whom they named Alec Neel, marks the first time in more than 150 years that a sitting vice president has had a baby while in office.

Something about Demi Moore’s performance in “I Love Boosters” has been nagging at me, and I finally figured it out: It’s like she’s playing Tina Fey playing Cinda Canning in “Only Murders in the Building.”

Recently a family member sarcastically referred to me as a "Zen master," which is hilarious if you have any sense of how anxious I am ... BUT I did let the driver of a car in front of me space out at a green light today for five seconds without honking Thus concludes my dharma talk 💁‍♀️

Editors: How do you explain the editor-writer relationship to folks new to the process? I'm exploring how to circumvent at least some of the defensiveness of writers who have never been edited before

From my First Friday wanderings in Wichita last week: at Envision Arts Gallery, works by artists who are blind or visually impaired from the Los Angeles and Anaheim Braille Institutes. Angelica Fuentes, "Crazy Love;" Savannah Gayle, "Abstract is Hard;" Lynette Basford, "Circling Around."

Blue etterforms, gold crowns, and green hearts are superimposed on a pink and black background in Angelica Fuentes' "Crazy Love."

White squiggles crowd a bright pink color field, dotted with dustings of gold and blue in Savannah Gayle's "Abstract is Hard."

Lynette Basford's yarn sculpture Circling Around is composed of five circles made with stiffened off-white yarn that form an ethereal-looking cluster.

I've been a PBS member ever since *that* mid-season cliffhanger in Sanditon s3. 🤓 Even if you look at it as just paying for a streaming service, it's one of the best deals out there.

I confess I sometimes think our reviews skew a bit too positive, but I can’t disagree with this assessment. Angelique Ilo’s choreography is fab & Taylor Aronson is in possession of a formidable voice. “I Got Rhythm” was so good I almost cried.
