It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

I want to very gently say something, and I hope nobody will be mad: If somebody on the internet says something that is NOT about politics and NOT about how terrible everything is, it’s a kindness not to reflexively make a comment (in jest or not) that brings it back to those things.

There are about a million things wrong with entertainment journalism these days, but one of my biggest sticking points is that I would give anything to dedicate time to hyping up hidden gems and independent productions, but no one (who will also pay) is willing to platform pieces about them.

Senate Democrats had the power to do one thing: This shutdown. And this is what they did with it. Maybe this is some brilliant political calculus, in which case I'll happily eat my words. But right now, it feels like the beginning of the end of the party in its current form--and by its own hand.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”
The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

Ach! For this 80s Beltway kid, this park was WILD WORLD. The Wild One (108 years old!) was my first roller coaster.
This is a bummer, man.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Career highlight! This summer I went to Fraunces Tavern with Ken Burns to talk about American history. That interview is now live at @vanityfair.com

Ken Burns Knows Who Won the American Revolution: “Ne’er-Do-Wells, Felons, and Immigrants”
“I vowed after ‘The Civil War’ not to do any more war films,” says the master documentarian. “It hurt too much.” Lucky for us, he couldn’t keep his promise—paving the way for The American Revolution...

Today is Lee Grant's 100th birthday. This remarkable movie/TV/stage actress and filmmaker is the definition of a survivor. Read up on her fascinating life. Better yet, see her movies! (Also, if you can hunt down anything from her Emmy-winning run on Peyton Place, totally worth it.)

In the 33 years before the U.S. halted nuclear testing in 1992, countries conducted over 1,000 tests. In the 33 years since? Roughly 20. The global moratorium—and the treaty backing it—has curbed both the spread and sophistication of nuclear weapons worldwide.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.
