FX on Hulu's SAY NOTHING is phenomenal, one of the best shows you'll watch this year. My thoughts for my monthly "Appointment Viewing" column for The Cut: thecut.com/article/say-no…

So sad. Please read her writing. She brought so much power, vulnerability, courage and love to the literary world. One of the true greats of the late 20th century.

People can analyze, hypothesize, blame Dems till they are blue in the face. None of it matters. This is the game right here. Misinformation works. Those that believed misinformation voted Trump. Those that believed the truth voted Harris. There is NO candidate that can

Just watched The Apprentice, which did a solid job explaining how a vapid nepo-baby brine shrimp turned into a sociopathic sea monkey in the brackish waters of 70s/80s Manhattan... Strong was excellent as Roy Cohn. Sure hope nothing like that happens in real life

Pedro Zamora died 30 years ago today. I’ve been thinking about this post for awhile, and I had hoped/assumed it would be a little more “celebratory.” Despite losing him, I was assuming that we were entering a time of greater hope.

“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” - Hannah Arendt in “The Origins of Totalitarianism”

Warning: this Mari Heller profile contains two (2) bad dreams, a sky that turns orange, methods for directing cute toddlers, Amy Adams, Maria Bamford, a Weird Al deep cut, marital strife related to SNL & a Sharon Olds poem containing the word colostrum newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

Jennifer Wilson Eyal Press .Emily Nussbaum remembers Gertrude Berg, the first “showrunner” of any gender and a life-style influencer 50 years before Oprah or Martha Stewart, whose progressive sitcom became a victim of the McCarthy era. nyer.cm/gLFeTXG

In 1951, Gertrude Berg, the creator behind “The Goldbergs,” won an Emmy and was poised to become one of TV’s greatest luminaries. Instead, just three years later, her life’s work was in peril. What happened? nyer.cm/1MM6ILV

My essay about the brilliant, pioneering & shockingly forgotten showrunner-pioneer Gertrude Berg, who invented the family sitcom (pre-Lucy!), then got eaten by the blacklist in the 1950s — a story with disturbing modern parallels newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…
