Tom Stoppard holds a special place in my heart and, I suspect, in the heart of everyone else who was ever told they thought too much to be an actor.
R&G may be the best play of the 20th century, but Arcadia is, for me personally, the best play of the last 400 years.

This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Don't let the Starbucks ads during the Thanksgiving parade distract from the fact that workers are on strike right now.
Solidarity to our striking baristas in Atlanta, GA! We're 15 days into our national ULP strike 💪
Baristas are on strike in over 65 cities, demanding: higher pay, better hours, & an end to union busting. Until Starbucks brings us NEW proposals, you’ll see us on the picket line. #NoContractNoCoffee

I think plenty of it speaks to the state of the media, but an obvious one is that Vox and Vanity Fair barely investigated her and that she managed to commit an unforgivable journalistic crime before getting a book deal and walking into another prestige job, while plenty of others are being laid off

Police killed three people in DC last week and now this. When will this administration stop escalating and putting people in harm's way?

If any of the allegations are true, Nuzzi covering for RFK Jr. directly played a role in the gutting of America's public health infrastructure, the defenestrating of the CDC and the promotion of the lie that vaccines causing autism.
If the Nuzzi blast radius doesn't impact both the new editor of VF and the NYT profiler, then something wrong. Holy shit.

The new Vanity Fair editor sought to make his magazine less woke and some of his first moves were hiring Olivia Nuzzi, publishing an abstract nude of Nuzzi by a person now alleged to have made illegal recordings on her behalf, and putting only men in the Hollywood issue

It’s frustrating because there is only so much a club like KC can do with this revenue. They've built a stadium, a training facility, created a second team, invested in a multi-club model, built multiple stores, marketed the team both at home and abroad, and are building a whole neighborhood!

Another bad indicator for local media (and, frankly, local party communication channels): I live less than two miles from the Florida district referenced here and had no idea there was an election happening.
More elections are already around the corner, mere days.
And Democrats have opportunities to build on their November gains by flipping more offices: in Tennessee, in Georgia, in Florida.
And that's just the tip of a busy election month.

The NWSL final between the Spirit and Gotham on CBS averaged 1.184 million viewers, making it the first game over the million mark and the most watched game in league history.
Up 22 percent from last year’s final, which averaged 967,900. That’s a solid jump.

Quite the pre-Thanksgiving news: Mayor Muriel Bowser will not seek a fourth term in office. That's a huge opening a mayoral race that still doesn't have any major candidates in it, but with possible entries from Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George and At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie.
