Tim Curry’s smile is a masterclass in mischief. He knows the punchline, the ending, the secrets of the universe, and he savors it while you wait impatiently.

100% it’s so clear he wanted help.

A Teen Was Suicidal. ChatGPT Was the Friend He Confided In.

The Humorless Bully Always Finds Out Andrew Cuomo’s jab at Zohran Mamdani, claiming he couldn’t bench press his body weight, wasn’t clever.

Cuomo’s jab at @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, claiming he couldn’t bench press his body weight, wasn’t clever or funny. But it was revealing. Cuomo’s entire idea of masculinity has always been brute force without wit or charm.

Not many people know how to lose well. Brad Lander has shown he does. Honest, grounded, and no spin. Just clarity and commitment to something bigger. Turning a loss into momentum for broader victories.

Almost like someone planning to still run in the general…

Well, another foster fail. #cats

Your Fancy Wine Could Well Be Fake. Some Are Hoping to Sniff Out a Solution One fifth of all wine sold worldwide could be fake. Now tech similar to similar MRI scans and gas-smelling, aroma-analyzing equipment might yield the answer.

Wine counterfeiting is a practice that dates back to antiquity. Fun look at new tech used to sniff out fugazis @wired.com www.wired.com/story/your-f...

In Bruges needs to be added to the Christmas movie canon.

Great place to start if you’re looking for journalists on @bsky.app. These Your First Byline reporters, and their stories, are fantastic! Each one brings me back to my first NY Daily News byline two decades ago.

Nice result for a same day dough!

Meet the Working Dogs of DC From foraging for valuable truffles to helping heal wounded warriors, these DC-area dogs have bona fide jobs­—and are laboring to make our lives better.

Obsessed with this article about the working dogs of DC. Fun read from the @washingtonian.bsky.social on the heroes we don’t deserve. www.washingtonian.com/2024/12/12/m...

And really, read anything by @praddenkeefe.bsky.social. Say Nothing is brilliant.

Totally agree. The walled garden approach may work in the short term, but it will ultimately stifle organic growth. @bsky.app @jay.bsky.team is empowering users with zero gatekeeping.

Column | Can Keith McNally re-create the magic of Minetta Tavern in D.C.? The New York restaurateur is expanding his empire to Union Market.

Excited for the opening of Minetta Tavern in DC. It’s always great to see iconic NYC spots expand. But really, I’m just as excited about how much space @theprophetpizza.bsky.social gave to Richard Price’s Lush Life in this article. www.washingtonpost.com/style/2024/1...

This is fascinating. Curious about the number of people who listen to a podcast then go on to watch the same episode.
