I am assuming the official biographer is the cat pictured above. Or hoping perhaps.

The thing is once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Harry looks more like Phillip than Andrew does.

What about “Classical Autism”? That seems the be the latest euphemism being tossed around for people with very high supports needs. Though I admit I find that name amusing.

The first narrative reminded me a few Germans I know who live in Los Angeles, and refer to Switzerland as the “Orange County of Europe”.

He’s Best Known for His Role in The Princess Bride. But He’s Also One of Our Most Important Playwrights. Wallace Shawn on why his new play both is and isn’t a rebuke of Donald Trump.

I talked to the legend Wallace Shawn about being radicalized by his own work, reviving The Fever in the middle of a "big war," and why it's harder for the outspoken socialist to make political art now.

And we are very happy to have them here!

I've been doing a The Comeback rewatch this week and this story felt awfully familiar.

Kristi Noem's $220M Horseback Riding Ad Dwarfed the Budgets of These 2026 Oscar Nominees Outgoing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem used $220 million in taxpayer money to create a minute-long anti-immigration ad. That's more than the combined production and marketing budgets of nearly every 2026 ...

Noem's one-minute $220 million ad cost more than nearly every film nominated for Best Picture at the upcoming 2026 Academy Awards:

* Frankenstein
* Marty Supreme
* Sinners
* Bugonia
* Hamnet

I wanted to learn more about the collage artist Mary Lum, and was surprised to find her included in Grokepedia, which helpfully informs me that she was born in 1951 in St. Cloud, MN, and died in 1815 at the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane.

Her choice in projects has always been interesting, more so now with her brother’s mogul moves.

Marcello Hernández Flew Childhood Inspiration for ‘Mr. Fronzi’ to SNL Taping Marcello Hernández not only based SNL's "Mr. Fronzi" on a real person, he went the extra mile to see to it that said prep school teacher had a front row seat to it all.

There a subtle differences, but the telltale is the person who says “I am hispanic, not latino” usually means they view themselves as white, even though Latino covers white people as well as indigenous and afro-latino.

Latinos/hispanics are not one culture. If people actually look at specific cultures, they will find some tend to skew left and others skew right. The trumpy latinos in Florida don’t give a —- about left leaning latinos in California. Honestly I am so over that being used as a demographic.

Marco Odermatt of Switzerland, Lucas Pinheiro Braathen of Brazil and Loic Meillard of Switzerland on the podium after Giant Slalom race in Cortina.

One of the most memorable photos of these Olympics. Lucas Pinheiro Braathen wins the first medal ever for a South American country at any Winter Olympics: gold for Brazil in the giant slalom, then paid podium homage to the most famous Brazilian athlete of them: Pelé.

All of this, but adding that Q Lazarus (Goodbye Horses) like Clarice Starling, is remembered all these years later for talent and drive that defied expectations.

Why Gore Verbinski Disappeared From Hollywood Gore Verbinski’s movies made billions, until they didn’t. Why it took almost ten years for the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ director’s comeback: a sci-fi indie movie called ‘Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die.’

My film school nerdy self is re-emerging. Javier Bardem is capable of filling DeNiro’s and Mitchum’s shoes immaculately.
