I'm not saying that these ratings aren't important and don't mean anything - they do, and it is important to remember them. But this is pretty incomplete showing, given that we also know Landman, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and The Pitt are all averaging over 10 million viewers per episode
I am inviting someone at Bloomberg to read a book about the history of the American Revolution, the Civil War, or World Wars 1 and 2
At least he wouldn't continue the back three but it's hard to see what is likely to be effective now
What is more likely, that no one did it, or that no one of actual influence and power gave a shit about the work those people did?
I dunno mate, seems like that's a hard place to end up.
The cruelty is the point
At least I can cancel my Paramount+ subscription now
This week’s Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins introduced the concept of the Dick Wolf show “FDNY: Chicago” and I won’t shut up until you all watch it
Is it though? An extra two matches in the UCL seems like a booby prize
I guess I'm the one Spurs fan who thinks today's UCL match doesn't matter at all, and who only hopes they don't try too hard and no one gets hurt.
A campaign poster with large text reading "Mayor Mamdani" and a message urging to fund NYC public libraries at 0.5% of the city budget. Two photos of a man in a suit (Zohran Mamdani are shown, with a website link for more information.
You can let the Mayor know what you think about him breaking his promise. www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...
I don't know if I agree with that? I'm not going to attempt to speak for him. But I think he's always held a nuanced view about it. He created the show with a former Baltimore homicide detective of course
The guy who made the show didn't come out one
Well they should make sure to tell the press about their plans, that'll make sure they're able to get top dollar
It's impressive (not complimentary) how disconnected ownership is from actually concerning themselves with the value of their assets, from those worth tens of millions to literal billions.
I personally think that the odds that Iran will choose to cease hostilities just because the war is turning out so poorly for their adversaries that they intend to claim victory and run to be somewhat less than Wall Street does, but I'm just a dumbass poster what do I know?
The long slow journey back to AIM and ICQ is nearing completion
This is who this party is
This just happened a week ago to my labradoodle - we went to the vet and they think it might be the Nextgard, not supposed to give him that anymore
Always who I go to when we talk about cancelling art and artists
This is great
Sure, but what's the point of paying Bentancur to play for Real Betis?
It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”
The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.
The funny thing is thinking about all the Spurs players who would be essentially unmovable.
My take: things are bad enough without borrowing trouble. If it happens, living through it will be misery enough
He'd just die almost immediately from something boring, like getting hit by a bus or walking on the track of the tube
Collage by Enzo Camacho and Amy Lien, Whitney Biennial 2026
But you can sense the curators searching for a theme to render coherent American art in 2026. They don't find one that makes sense, but that reflects the America outside the gallery: what is the version of this idea that makes sense in this time?
Enzo Camacho and Amy Lien's collages are big winners, scoring on all fronts
Jasmin Sian's wreathes as well
The Biennial sounds like a Chris Nolan movie, the sounds of the video installations like going to a museum in Tenet.
Overall, a strong entry in the history of the Biennial aesthetically
Tania Cruz at the Whitney Biennial
One thing that fascists understand but well meaning people seem not to is that the aesthetics of suffering glorify it
Gameified art feels cheap and tawdry
Tania Cruz with strong contemporary portraiture, craft isn't lost!
Kamrooz Aram at the Whitney Biennial 2026
Akira Ikezoe with some of the most successful so far, Bosch for the end times that could come
Mao Ishikawa with a series of moving engaging photos I would like maybe more at a smaller scale
Kamrooz Aram the star of the show so far, haunting and here you do see craft and such beautiful deep color
