My review essay on Jennifer Homans’ Mr. B and the state of the Worlds of Balanchine 👇🏼 🩰 📚

[The Nation @thenation]

In the ephemeral realm of dance, the longevity of Balanchine's influence is unique and it shows no signs of waning.

From @JulianaDeVaan, a review of new biographies of Balanchine and Graham with an eye to “the forces of money and power that have shaped American dance.”

@SFBARTalert why are trains going through 24th and Mission without stopping? No announcements happening.

[Jim Steichen @jpsteichen]

Seriously though - We have an unabashedly good time backstage. Two more chances to see Intelligence!

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

BREAKING: @California_HCD just released the results of its unprecedented top-to-bottom audit of San Francisco’s housing approvals process.

It’s utter condemnation—HCD found 18 policies & practices that violate state law.

This is why I added heightened scrutiny for SF to SB 423.

Did not realize how appropriate it was to turn off Law and Order to watch Lohengrin (2018 Yuval Sharon Bayreuth production)

[Frog and Toad Bot @FrogandToadbot]

“Frog,” said Toad, “if I wash my dishes right now, then I will not have to wash them tomorrow, will I?”

“No,” said Frog. “You will not have to.”

Toad washed and dried his dishes. He put them in the cupboard.

After consuming too much news all I can listen to is Howells today.

How did no one tell me that Constance Wu is currently playing Audrey in Little Shop on Broadway??
