Tilda Swinton. Every single day it would be Tilda Swinton. The breadth of her repertoire, how hard she works, I would never tire of her oeuvre.
This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.

A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

New from me:
Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong.
This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.

I visited Montreal for the first time this past week for a work offsite. I had 3/4 seasons in one week, but I was prepared. And I loved Montreal. Such an incredible city.
And I escaped without getting a deadly wasp sting (end of season wasp action was insane) or eating Poutine.
