A travesty.
Gone are the awkward encounters where you sit in the window seat of an almost empty car, only to be boxed in at the very next stop by two people intent on invading every ounce of your personal space.
Your legacy will live on, Orange Window Seat™.
MTA just announced they are phasing out all 1,700 remaining 1980s era subway cars with the iconic orange seats.

Not gonna lie. I’ll miss them.

At long last, Billboard closed out our Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century list with our No. 1 pick — Queen Bey. It's a phenomenal essay by our peerless deputy editor @augetoffmygold.bsky.social, and you should read it immediately: www.billboard.com/music/pop/be...

really hard to overstate how excellent ‘Wicked’ is. Both Cynthia and Ariana are PHENOMENAL, the cinematography is gorgeous, the music is exactly as beautiful as you want it to be, and even though it is long, it never feels unnecessary. It’s one of the best modern movie musicals ever made, period.

why yes, i *did* rank every song on the Wicked movie soundtrack (and you'll never guess which one hit number one except yes you probably already did)

yes, i'm an editor and writer and all of that, yadda yadda, whatever:
follow me if you're interested in caffeine-fueled diatribes on the importance of Chepe the Trash Panda as a cultural icon and how his evasion of the NYPD for multiple days is a singular source of whimsy and wonder.
