The eggplant caponata on the menu at Procida in New Orleans is one of my favorite dishes in town now. You can get a small side of it for eight bucks with some bread and really be living the good life.

I ain’t gonna front: last year @sandyjarrell.com and I released one of the coolest books EVER, an introduction to the DC Universe in narrative form influenced by tons of stuff that came before us, filtered through our own fevered brains, all in a kid-friendly package. We rule the wasteland.

Fellow Scorpios, we are known for both passion and vengefulness, but this Scorpio season, might I suggest we lean into the vengefulness? Forgiveness is overrated.

Saw “You Can See Everything” which was GREAT but what also blew me away was how after it was over, everyone in the theater stood out front and gathered in groups to excitedly talk about what they had just witnessed.

For the afternooners: Ope Amosu wanted to create the West African Chipotle. Where he ended up is so much more exciting, and this is the story of how he got there.

I've eaten all over the world, but damned if I haven't eaten better in Houston. Here is my profile of Ope Amosu and his (and his wife's) accidental journey to opening one of America's most thrilling restaurants. gardenandgun.com/ope-amosu-ho...

As always, when a devastating new report about book bans in America is published, I challenge you to think less about the most banned author — Stephen King is fine — and more about the banned authors who are trying to scrabble together a living from their art. pen.org/report/book-...

pen.orgA Spotlight on School Book BansNearly 12,000 books were banned in public schools during the 2025-2026 school year, according to PEN America’s Index of School Book Bans.

I had this revolutionary Lyft driver today who wanted to talk about fibroids and hormones and was like NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT AND WE MUST UNITE and I was like YES I SUPPORT YOU and she was like I WILL TALK ABOUT IT WITH EVERYONE WE MUST HELP WOMEN and I was like FIVE STARS SISTER. It was a great ride
