A man was just arrested outside my apartment, and I looked to make sure it wasn't some ICE action. It was city police. In the chase and take-down, the man lost both his shoes, after which a cop kindly knelt down and put the shoes back on the man he'd just arrested. Definitely not ICE.

Attending my first Pride Parade in 1989, I was so surprised to see my Congresswoman in the parade, taking what I assumed to be the personal and professional risk of participating, that I wrote her a letter to thank her. I received this letter in reply.

How nice for a change to glance at the news and not cringe.

Call me old-fashioned, but I still find it satisfying to show up to my polling place on Election Day to cast my ballot.

My favorite Prunella Scales trivia is that when she played QEII in "Single Spies" in 1988, it broke an unspoken protocol by being the first time a reigning monarch had been portrayed on the London stage. The strength it must have taken to do that was evident in all her work. I was a fan.

Do you suppose Trump checked with Melania first to see if it was okay to tear her office down?

I'm still getting this year's Halloween party food sorted out, but here was my contribution last year: bread sticks dipped in white chocolate and colored sugar. 🙂

With the Blue Angels sidelined by the government shutdown, the Canadian Snowbirds stepped up to take their place during today's Fleet Week Air Show. I'm not sure how much we deserve it these days, but thanks for the love, Canada!

The combination of Alan Bennett's writing and Patricia Routledge's acting could be sublime. (RIP Dame Patricia.)

Five years ago today, Trump announced that he'd contracted Covid. Among other things, I hoped it might alter his approach to Covid safety, or help him sympathize with essential workers, or soften his opposition to universal healthcare. None of the hoped-for outcomes of that situation came to pass.

In my early struggling-actor days, I twice found myself performing for an audience of one. And yet both times, I got more applause than Hegseth did today from an audience of 800.

Two years ago today, I completed one of my favorite projects, exploring California by visiting all 58 counties, all in under a year and without flying. It's a huge, beautiful, diverse place, and I was honestly unprepared for what an amazing experience it would be.

Sorry for the occasion, but it's a relief to see my feed go from pictures of Charlie Kirk to pictures of Robert Redford.
