Earlier this week, Knicks superfan @FatJoe was the first-ever, special guest conductor, where he surprised fans on the 1 train, got them hyped for the NBA Finals and handed out Knicks-themed merch! Go NY, go NY, go!
The U.S. energy blockage on Cuba is affecting all parts of daily life, including trash collection. Now trash left piled on the streets is causing sanitary issues for the island's people.
Sharon Stone and Keke Palmer joke about taking away men’s rights:
"People want to take [women's rights] away from us again. Would we tell men, 'We'd like to take away your healthcare? First of all, we're taking the Viagra. All of their hairline stuff. Cut it out. I don’t know if I’m into them driving.'"

@scarylawyerguy Can you blame anyone for keeping their job to put food on their plates and roofs over their heads? There are many such people, including me. I hate my job, but here I am still doing it.
Agriculture Sec @BrookeLRollins in November: "We have screwworm under control south of the border. Beef prices will come down by spring 2026"
Beef prices continue to rise, and screwworm is now in the US.

For safety reasons, I think the host cities should look into providing a raised platform for press just outside of MSG and the Spurs stadium, like a little media camp area.
"They laid me off on my baby’s due date during maternity leave"
"My division had a bunch of people (my team included) laid off and the positions moved to Argentina."
"We used to deliver a dozen shows to them, that dwindled down to two in the past year therefore my entire department got axed."
This is what happened when David Ellison bought Paramount last year. Now, he wants to buy Warner Brothers Discovery for 13X that amount, load it down with $79 billion in debt (you read that right)... and cut $6 billion in what he calls "synergies."
If Paramount does buy WBD, it'll bankrupt thousands of writers, drivers, make-up artists, camera operators -- and hundreds more small production houses, post-production studios, caterers, independent movie theaters, you name it. And not just in Burbank. It'll happen across California and New York and New Jersey and Georgia and beyond.
But people aren't talking about that... yet. So what are we going to do about it?
Well, I'm hitting the road with the @econliberties team, we're joining arms with our friends at @DDAction_ , @FilmCoalition, @1ACommittee, @freepress (*the other one), and the giants @WGAWest and @WGAEast to hold three listening sessions where working people and small businesses can speak, on the record, about what this merger will mean to THEM.
We start *Saturday* in Los Angeles where the one and only @adamconover, Commissioner @AGomezFCC, and WGAW president @MulroneyMichele will join documentarian @Marj Safinia and I for a MAIN STREET VS. THE MERGER town hall.
Then we head to NYC on Saturday, June 13 where we'll be joined by antitrust subcommittee ranking member @SenBooker, James Schamus (of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Brokeback Mountain" fame), and WGAE executive director Sam Wheeler for a roundtable at WGAE headquarters to talk about the merger.
And finally we land in Atlanta on Tuesday, June 16, where @GabeLezra and I will be joined by @RepHankJohnson and other luminaries in Georgia's extraordinary film and TV scene to hear from the small businesses and workers in Georgia who will be affected by the merger.
RSVP link for Los Angeles is in the comments. And if you're in the press or you are a worker or small business owner worried about the merger, write me at [email protected] for a link to join the smaller NYC and ATL events.
