Unpacking boxes and came across a stray promotional bottle of Tequila. (No, I swear). Just put Mull Of Kintyre on repeat and gave the kid a pizza. Hold my calls. https://t.co/QpksBeoneX

There's no nice way to say this.

There's a bizarre epidemic of idiot fans throwing things at artists onstage. How this happened, why it needs to stop, what it means for the future of live music, and why it is not a pop star's job to be a target.

This great 2017 Politico article on "dictator chic" laid it out very well. It's all about dominance and intimidation 2/ https://t.co/VwI8nldt5A

Honored to be sworn in as your Surgeon General. I owe this day to my family who has guided & supported me every step of the way. I stand ready to work with you to end this pandemic & build a world where good health is within everyone’s grasp. Follow @Surgeon_General for updates.

Little known fact: I started at Variety the same day as Dave almost 21 years ago today. He was tireless, ageless, invariably kind and fair, and nothing but a mensch to me after I left and turned to the dark side.

Dave McNary was my older brother in journalism, going back to UPI carpool days in Pasadena. RIP to a great reporter and an even better human.

A not at all meta moment for @nytimes: "As the unresolved election dragged further into Thursday, supporters, vote counters and reporters alike grew somewhat weary"

I went off the board to watch John Frankenheimer's Seven Days In May about a coup attempt in the United States. I apologize to the world.
