last weekend in Vegas I convinced Nicole to start watching Drive To Survive (don’t care if it’s not real, it’s the perfect F1 entry point for people who went to Bravocon) and she picked up on the overall themes real fast

wearing several articles of clothing I haven’t thought about since my 20s and watching a Bravo-themed drag show where I don’t understand half the references. Is this what it’s like hanging out with me when you’ve never seen 30 Rock?

“The fedora, angled just so, is his homage to French Resistance hero Jean Moulin” and he only wears it on weekends, holidays, and to the museum; let this kid do series 2 of Maigret
He understands why people projected a whole sleuth character onto him: improbable heist, improbable detective. He loves Poirot — “very elegant” — and likes the idea that an unusual crime calls for someone who looks unusual. “When something unusual happens, you don’t imagine a normal detective,” he said. “You imagine someone different.”

when Toasty raises one paw he usually looks like he’s about to shake your hand, but this morning he’s giving “morally ambiguous wizard casting a spell”

what if a Facebook comment ran for mayor?
Mr. Cecchinelli is highly critical of the City’s roadway management. He says that curb bump-outs are dangerous for bicycle riders at the same time that Newton is trying to encourage bike travel. He also deplores the Washington Street Pilot Project, which causes traffic backups and idling cars, producing harmful fumes, in addition to the hazards of the concrete planters. He noted that there was a similar issue with backed up traffic in West Newton Square, which has been adjusted. And he says that transportation is still a problem for an aging population. Asked about the decision to paint over the Italian flag colors on Adams Street, Mr. Cecchinelli expressed disappointment, accusing Mayor Fuller of using federal and state law for a project that was based on a flawed vehicle volume study. He questioned the consistency in Newton’s designation as “sanctuary city” and then painting over the Italian stripe. A registered Republican, Mr. Cecchinelli believes that employers should be held responsible for hiring illegal immigrants and paying them lower wages. If they paid a living wage, legal immigrants would take those jobs, he says. He also opposes birthright citizenship if an illegal immigrant comes to the U.S. to have a child. Mr. Cecchinelli, a lawyer, said, “I believe that the birthright citizenship violates the spirit and intent of the 14th amendment.”

haven’t seen C. Flanagan’s name in several years without immediately thinking of “We’ve Got Joan Didion At Home”
Caitlin Flanagan, who has been a writer for The Atlantic since 2001 and is a fellow at Weiss's University of Austin and a serial signatory of letters that aim, in a principled but firm way, to wrest control of the culture away from the culture's least powerful groups, is not the most deranged member of this fractious, anxious community. But she is a representative one, in large part because of how her new, powered-by-skunkmeat worldview has built upon her old role as a wry and charming herald of establishment disapproval. Her past work was never what anyone would call good; it's a sort of We've Got Joan Didion At Home situation, or just Didion if she never got over her early interest in Barry Goldwater. But while that beat—are our elite universities inconveniencing our terrible sons?— is a lousy useless job, she carried it off with some panache.

yesterday the Globe called everyone on Wikipedia’s “list of comedians from Massachusetts” and hit pay dirt with Eugene Mirman #localangle
Eugene Mirman, another comic from Lexington, called Kimmel's suspension "egregious" and said he's been heartened by the outcry condemning it. "I would also like to take this time to pitch my idea of a remake of "Overboard" with Donald Trump in Goldie Hawn's role," he wrote in an email. "It would, of course, involve the entire nation pretending to not recognize Trump as he was forced to do chores for Elizabeth Warren or whoever.”
