A black and white photograph of Elaine May standing on a rooftop. She is looking to her right with a smile, leaning against a large professional motion picture camera mounted on a tripod. Below the rooftop, a busy city street is visible, filled with cars and pedestrians.

A black and white, medium-shot portrait of Elaine May. She is sitting in a chair with one hand resting under her chin. A trail of smoke rises from the cigarette she is holding in her hand.

A black and white photograph of Elaine May wearing a white wedding veil and a lace-trimmed dress, crouching while looking through the viewfinder of a large "General Camera". She has her hand on the camera's control wheel, appearing focused on framing a shot.

A black and white promotional headshot of Elaine May with dark, styled hair and a wide, bright smile. She is wearing a light-colored cardigan with a fur collar over a dark lace top, looking slightly away from the camera.

Wishing a very happy birthday to the singular genius Elaine May—a groundbreaking writer, director, and actor of the stage and screen. ❤️🎞️ You can watch our edition of her 1976 masterpiece MIKEY AND NICKY now on the Criterion Channel!

“You are excellent travelers, so quiet!!”

—whispered to me and @swizzard.pizza on the quiet car of an Amtrak by a very old disembarking train guy. I know this prompt is 90% ways people have called other people hot, but I felt this one deep in my Virgo heart.

Cohen could easily finance every witch on Etsy to turn this around!

MICHAEL CONFORTO knocks in the TYING RUN???? This is occult, at this point. Supernatural forces are afoot.

This was an American dream of a classless community, where labor was play, and the highest value produced was collective pride. “Until stadium lights made night baseball possible, the only way for the stands to be filled was with people who were skipping work or school,” Brooklyn taxi driver John Garvey recalled. “Baseball was, for many years, the place where the refusal of work went to enjoy itself.”

Child’s drawing of Carson Benge on the Citi Field screen.

The kid drawing of Carson Benge has a real haunted doll quality about it that I admire, a brave artistic choice.

So weird to see McNeil in a different jersey!

Nick Kurtz looks fucking enormous in person.

A soda dispenser with Beverly soda in it

A soda dispenser with Thums Up in it

A soda dispenser with Fanta Melon Frosty in it

Personal reviews from the World of Coca Cola experience:

- Beverly tastes like a carbonated Negroni, it was good
-Thums Up SLAPPED
- Fanta Melon Frosty was a real dark horse, very refreshing

I had a free hour in Atlanta today and went to the Coke museum and the scene in the tasting room was unmatched: wall-to-wall children, driven to utter madness by unfettered soda access, spitting out Beverly directly into the drain of the soda machine, our shoes all but adhered to the syrupy floor.

On a totally cover-based whim I ended up picking up (and reading almost the entirety of) Uketsu’s Strange Buildings on my long airport delay last week, and I got and read his earlier two books today. The part of my brain that is constantly chasing the preteen high of Myst is deeply sated.

It seems like we really will leave at 10:15 on a new plane, so it looks like there is an end in sight!!

Some factions developing among the passengers on my delayed flight; have joined forces with a very Sweata Weatha couple in the “It’s in god’s hands now” contingent. Should a rift develop along political lines (possible, am keeping the chat light) I will fall in line behind the World’s Surliest Teen.

I have been at O’Hare since 1:30pm and I just really need everyone to know that despite my Flagging Spirits and Failing Body, my Personal Charm remains in fucking tact and I am eating a Hershey Kiss slipped to me by a cashier.

I am so glad the Mets won and that I got to see some of it and that they did not douse Luis Robert Jr. after his walk-off, because it is very cold and that guy is always injured and I was worried this could be a William Henry Harrison situation.

I missed basically all of the Mets game because I’m at SCMS for work (come visit me in the books room tomorrow and Saturday and Sunday!) but had a tiny bit of downtime when I went to go get my warmer coat and caught Howie’s (last ever opening day) PIITB and that was pretty great.

TSA PSA, because I was also searching this info here: basically zero line at LGA Terminal C right now (11am, 3/25). I am very happily at the airport hours early now, but better that than frantic and stuck in a line!

WATCH: Oklahoma senator challenges Teamsters president to a fight during Senate hearing YouTube video by PBS NewsHour

Markwayne Mullin lives forever in my mind as the guy who tried to fight Sean O’Brien of the Teamsters on the Senate floor until Bernie broke it up like an exhausted chaperone on a school trip. (It’s all at the beginning of this longer clip.)

I can’t believe Kristi Noem spent all that time and money on her face and hair only to end up looking like a Bravo Friend Of and did full ethnic cleansing because she was down bad for Corey fucking Lewandowski and still got shitcanned. Love that for her!

The commercials alone! I commute every single day on trains filled with Ro ads. Every ad break on every streaming service. I go to a supposedly feminist concierge doctor—I get GLP1-related newsletters from them.
