How many things is David Zaslav going to be allowed to destroy??

Note the irony of extremist GOP supermajority claiming to prioritize “protecting children” while refusing to even consider gun safety legislation. Fortunately, their warped interpretations of 1st & 2nd Amds occasionally get checked by judiciary. Voters must do their part in 2024.

I collaborated with @davemcowen on on his music & memoir project and wrote a piece about Chet Baker and the differences between a sadly felt song and a sadly written one — and also pocket knives.

@JesseThorn I read this as you brought two friends, presumably from New York, to the vet with you just to, you know, see how the other coast lives

As a band, you break up a hero, or stay together long enough to play your first concert in nearly two years at a private event for a cryptocurrency company

If you find yourself at the end of this lovely piece by @jasondashbailey about the Andersonian New York of TENENBAUMS and wanting to delve further into Chas’ line of dialogue he mentions, may I offer you 3000 words on that very thing @bwdr

[The New York Times @nytimes]

On the 20th anniversary of "The Royal Tenenbaums," our writer looked at the imaginary New York that sprang from Wes Anderson’s head. But as much as the film tried to avoid being rooted in a specific time, it couldn’t outrun current events. https://t.co/m2CAU7ewqo

"trying to reorient myself and my relationship to the movies, in the hopes that, through them, I might still be able to communicate with my father"

[Dan Kinsley @vote_pennywise]

This is so fucking good. I’m a sucker for dad stuff, but when it’s this well done, it’s for all of us.

[bergtalent for america @ericandreas80]

My father died 12 years ago.
This is a lovely, beautiful essay.
Read it. You won't regret it.

[Theric Jepson @thmazing]

When film criticism makes me cry, I know I'm reading @BWDR.
