And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas
RIP CBS News
Firefighters, famously, have a house they all live in, where they wait for people to call them, actually.
It's a dark one (going by the OG's)
Every clip I see of Olivia Colman and Beneditch Cumberbatch together makes me think they should have been doing a remake of The Awful Truth (or something along those lines) rather than The War of the Roses.
People who aren’t paying attention don’t think anti-trans stuff matters, as they don’t know any, & think of caricatures of trans ppl on sitcoms etc. To the far right yobs it does matter. This happened in Dublin, which doesn’t have the anti-trans culture of Britain. You should care:
"Norma Talmadge, Norma Talmadge. That's all I hear, is Norma Talmadge."
👀
She has such a Mary Louise Parker vibe.
starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:
Look guys, the martial law is temporary. It’s just a brief vacation from having any rights.
One thing that's really reassuring about SCOTUS is how their actual, real, serious, genuine position on ethics is "we are not bound by any mortal law nor any code or creed, this is our world, you merely live in it."
Mary Martin as Mary. “Louise wants to put ice cream on her… *giggle*”
Not since David Merrick and Hello, Dolly! has there been a string of replacement stars this inspired.
Everyone Paris Paloma has a new song coming out and the intro is my loser headline and it’s spoken by EMMA THOMPSON 🚨🚨🚨 and she knows who I am
I think maybe the worst thing about our current era is that truly terrible people can tell OBVIOUS lies (see also: they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats), and not only are there no consequences, but they end up winning/getting their preferred policies enacted.
Exactly what you’d expect a dead guy to do.
My brother dared me.
Book stores are my kryptonite.
Graham Greene, First Nations actor, died at the age of 73. The Oscar-nominated actor starred in Dances with Wolves, Reservation Dogs, and more.
Wow: 78 year old congressman Jerry Nadler decides not to seek reelection, saying Biden fiasco showed need for "generational change." “Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that."
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.
The lack of consistency in the artwork used for the original Broadway production of South Pacific is absolutely astounding to me. Here are the window card, sheet music, cast album, and souvenir program—all different.
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
Bette Davis, on a press tour for Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte with Olivia de Havilland, weighs in on Julie Andrews and the 1964 Best Actress Oscar. "I have" 😂😂😂

The lies' laughable implausibility is a feature, not a bug. They're not trying to convince discerning, skeptical, fact-based people. They're trying to give supporters a fantasy that validates their feelings and creates a sort of loyalty test, while flaunting the absurdity in everyone else's faces.
Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss
Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Martine McCutcheon wins the Olivier for playing Eliza in My Fair Lady, and Jonathan Pryce, her Higgins, is none too pleased.
average Dem strategist: we must focus on bipartisan policies that undercut Republican attacks average Dem voter: having studied the denazification of Germany, we must raze the RNC and leave JD Vance clutching a single wool blanket in a cell after we strip him of everything
Based on the poster billing—with Max Adrian the only one considered "starred," Barbara was probably eligible in "Supporting or Featured" by the nominators (who opted for Irra instead) Jo Sullivan was also nominated as featured for Rosabella in MHF.
😍
Gypsy suffered a similar fate, opening May '59 and thus competing with November '59 shows The Sound of Music and Fiorello. (And therefore coming in at least third for Best Musical) Gypsy probably would have swept up had it been eligible for the 58-59 season.
Yep. MFL opened in March 1956 and won its Tonys in April 1957. Competing with Bells and Candide of late '56. (Plus leaving poor Most Happy Fella in the dust by opening six weeks before it)
"She's all of 21... Next time."
If Julie couldn't, nobody could.
Those are heavy, heavy hitters.
Perhaps! I know the three big Normas were all nominated (and all lost)
McCutcheon's run in My Fair Lady was plagued by many illnesses and absences, and she left the show five months before the end of her contract. Incidentally, her replacement, Joanna Riding, won the Best Actress in a Musical Olivier for My Fair Lady the following year.
Apparently, her understudy did more performances than she did.

I don't believe so.

This is like in Peter Pan where the audience tries to revive Tinkerbell with applause. Except, you know, the opposite.
A great, great lady. ❤️
Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

Doomers: The 2026 election doesn't matter, Republicans are just going to rig the whole thing anyway Various red state republican incumbents: I'm just going to quit now because if I run in 2026 I'm going to get absolutely killed
awww that’s a shame
For 12 months, America had a limited proof of concept for universal healthcare, and it was so uniformly successful we had no choice but to obliterate our society

There aren't many stories that prompt gasps at our editors' daily budget meeting. But this was one.

Who’s coming over?
Funny enough, I go to New York City because I know it's a city where Sean Hannity would get mean looks from people at restaurants.
Is the challenge to distinguish whether or not Melania is AI?
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: Don't just say this is about "thoughts and prayers," right now. These kids were literally praying.

With the broad understanding that I will support any dem who runs against Trump, I have to point out that this guy's got all the juice with none of the transphobia.
Literally one of the core grievances in the Declaration of Independence.
May the increasingly dismal odds ever be in your favor, I guess.
What in the everliving fuck is this
Trump's Presidencies have so far involved numerous Saturday Night Massacres, dozens of Watergates, and a never ending parade of Tea Pot Dome scandals. I worry that we're about to enter the "dozens of Kent State's" portion of the story.

Just finished reading about this in your book. Lovely to see. More beautiful than I imagined!
I keep thinking about this one line from Gore Vidal's The Best Man.
