As promised, here are Ten New Year’s Resolutions for Editors. They're resolutions you really can keep.

Resolution for Editors No. 1: To read every word of a draft before making changes. (Yes, this is hard. But if time permits, a good practice.)

@MrDavidGordon For sandwiches - I spent time in Miami working on a book a few years ago and loved both Sanguich and Enriqueta’s. @chefmichy will have great recs in both of these categories.

Congratulations to Tung, Katherine, and Lyn, and their writer Elisa for the IACP win! Their cookbook MANGO AND PEPPERCORNS won the award for Literary or Historical Food Writing.

Am I the only one who liked this choice? Made me more sympathetic to the character. (Also this production is spectacular)

[David Gordon @MrDavidGordon]

It’s intermission at Parade and they’re making Ben Platt sit alone on stage for the entire intermission

@newskag She is a very good dog and perhaps deserves a pair of her own?

The most powerful tool of oppression is keeping you so busy with the daily struggle that you don’t have the time to connect all the dots and become truly enraged.

What a great idea! 📚📖

Isn't it nice to know a lot?
And a little bit not . . .

These immigrants were not met with chaos, they were met with compassion. We are a community & nation that is stronger because of immigrants. The community coming together with water, food, interpretation help, & resources to support these families represent the best of America.

[Dylan Fernandes @RepDylan]

Our island jumped into action putting together 50 beds, giving everyone a good meal, providing a play area for the children, making sure people have the healthcare and support they need. We are a community that comes together to support immigrants.

Soon some white folks are going to start to claim Santa Claus is white, too. Look, I saw him in the internment camps as a child. He was definitely Japanese.

I really hope they toss mini handpies around the audience at Sweeney Todd the way they did pierogies at Great Comet.

[Ben Brantley @BenjBrantley]

Allow me to echo re "Into the Woods": There have been many talented interpreters of the Baker's Wife since Joanna Gleason brilliantly originated the role. But Sara Bareilles is the first I've seen to match Gleason's human complexity, while providing her own free-wheeling spin.

[Elisa Ung @elisaung]

Theater is such a balm right now.

[Ben Brantley @BenjBrantley]

What a joyous, open-hearted communion between a show and an audience: tonight, the blessing called "Into the Woods." In this moment of chaos, anger, guilt and moral confusion, it is so necessary. No one leaves for good, says the song. Thank God that includes Stephen Sondheim.

We all need Truffles today.

[A happier day @AHappierDay]

This is Truffles; she works at a children’s optometrist to help them feel better about wearing glasses.

[Dave Stroup @DaveStroup]

Companies saying “Your order has shipped!” when just the label has been created is like me saying an essay is going really well as I open a new blank document.

[Ayanna P. @AyannaPrescod]

A year ago today, Broadway reopened with Pass Over. We all were so happy to have Broadway back. Let’s NEVER forget that joy.

[Elisa Ung @elisaung]

Smart. Would have saved me from myself a few times.
