holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

I have a piece on Once Upon a Time in Harlem coming soon and will say more later, but I cannot recommend the film enough. A beautiful snapshot of important history.

Most TV is just this now.

My belated take on the Emmys is that Janelle James is really overdue for a win and my 8-year-old Abbott super fan agrees.

quick question: is anne hathway not in any movies this year?

My mind is blown

FINALLY, something to look forward to. Oh, Mary! is coming to HBO in 2027. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqdr...

Not to dismiss "9 to 5," "I Will Always Love You," "Jolene" or a million other worthy candidates, but this was always the one for me. "Like an eagle, I am eager for the sky" is just pure 🔥 youtu.be/3BaVb8LTooU?...

It's giving Renton from Trainspotting and I don't hate it

I went to see the End of Oak Street last night and walked away with one burning question. I am glad the BBC is on the case. www.bbcearth.com/news/how-did...

Furious that the LA Times has yet to run an op-ed by Lauren Conrad with the headline “He’s a Sucky Person.”

I know these lists are designed to provoke outrage and yet here I am, outraged on behalf of Billy Joel! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

if only Louis XVI had had a ballroom he might be alive today

ugh so true

The Artemis II mission reminds me of these 1960s photos of NASA astronauts training in Iceland because they felt the terrain would be similar to what they'd encounter on the moon. The outfits are so great, even some 60 years later.

One thing I just can’t get enough of: mentioning an email attachment and then forgetting to attach the file. It’s a real passion of mine.

My husband is watching “Call the Midwife” and every once in a while will text me tiny moments that are the whole show in a nutshell and I think this is my absolute favorite.

This is such a thoughtful piece about an agonizing situation slate.com/culture/2026...

I never understood how well the theme song from the cartoon show Heathcliff also describes Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights.

This is how you live a life

Early in his career, William Randolph Hearst famously joked that if his papers kept losing $1 million a year, he'd lose all his money in 60 years. If the Post continues to lose $100 million a year, it will take Jeff Bezos 2000 years to lose his money.

The owner of Amazon killed the Washington Post books section.

My kitchen table issue is “don’t shoot people at their kitchen tables”

In 1995, Sandra Bullock was the first person ever to buy movie theater tickets online, in promotion for her new film THE NET.

In addition to everything else wrong with Bari Weiss it is clear she's never heard of the Streisand Effect because she's massively amplifying this story by trying to kill it

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.
