A big announcement that veteran journalists are being moved out of their jobs and into unspecified new roles and that they will be replaced by TBD feels extremely ominous. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

You can easily bail afterward or keep the night going — dealer’s choice.

I'm reading Once Upon a Time (the Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy bio that is basis for the forthcoming TV show) and it's really sharp and fascinating and I totally recommend. Also it's *wild* how similar her story is to Meghan in terms of marrying a famous family with a public that didn't want you there!

I was happily wrong about the STRANGER THINGS play on Broadway. While some of second act drags, it's mostly a fun, creepy thrill ride that is excellent at translating the excitement of the show. For better or worse, it truly feels like watching an episode or two of the Netflix smash.
