My voter’s invite to another production got canceled due to a water burst. So I decided to see if New York City Center might allow me to make an Access 28 discount purchase in person. And now I’m here to try a #musical I’ve never seen or heard before. #HighSpirits

Veto-proof majorities passed Medicaid expansion in the Mississippi Legislature in 2024.
But they gridlocked as the Senate demanded work requirements—which Senate leaders said they'd be able to get when Trump returned.
Now, they say Medicaid expansion is dead thanks to Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."

The Endoscopy Center emailed me a survey link regarding a colonoscopy experience.
Since they were soliciting my feedback directly from me, boy did I use the comment space to talk about the lack of staff masking mandates and flicking on the air filter manually in the waiting room.

They did Ingmar Bergman's SEVENTH SEAL, with Telly and Oscar standing in for Siskel & Ebert. Now there's a cute sketch that also happens to teach you to count to 7.

Since I first watched the 1992 film adaptation with Ralph Fiennes, it surprises me that most #WutheringHeights movies don't bother adapting the second generation.

I was lining up at the check-out when this (unmasked) stranger walked in front of me. At first, I thought she was cutting me or going to ask something. It turns out she was reading my labeled mask I LOVE SOMEONE WITH COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEM. And she chuckled... the story gets very weird from here.

I never got to see MOULIN ROUGE! on Broadway (coincidentally also directed by the 2026 #TheMuppetShow director Alex Timbers), but I'm admittedly astonished that this long-runner is closing now.
“Moulin Rouge! The Musical” will end its Broadway run this summer.

I have a conspiracy about "Rob Lake Magic with Special Guests The Muppets" on Broadway. I haven't seen it (closing too soon to act on my press invite). I imagine the creative team discussed deploying Statler and Waldorf if reactions get rough but decided against it.
