I’m also going through my first “Sopranos” watch! The fashion and the interior design are such a terrific time capsule. And it’s so much funnier than I expected!
Working my way through my first-ever SOPRANOS watch, and it’s obviously great, but I’m especially charmed by the extent to which it’s a love letter to the then-new DVD format.

Check out this live-blog of today's public media testimony from @julito77.bsky.social, longtime UTR contributor and fellow Boston-based Latino journo.
My colleague @timkarr.bsky.social is also following the DOGE hearing on public media today.
Marjorie Taylor Greene opens the "DOGE subcommittee" hearing by suggesting that public funding for NPR & PBS is "frankly un-American."
I think she forgot the public polling where Americans routinely rank NPR & PBS as the most trusted brands, and taxpayer money “well spent.”
