A Ragu post just showed up on my Instagram. I *may* have reported it as inappropriate and offensive.

Remember when @TheTonyAwards used to recap the winners from the creative arts pre-show on CBS? Yeah, those were the days.

“Would somebody like to write a play for 5 women? We are quite bankable.” —newly minted @TheTonyAwards winner Lesley Manville with a genius idea … perhaps @BessWohl would be up for the challenge?

@BarryMotivates @TheTonyAwards @PlutoTV And at every ad the stream goes off-sync. It’s maddening! We have to keep restarting.

[Melissa Bernardo @mrbplus]

Wait @TheTonyAwards we’re now giving out Book and Score awards on the Pluto pre-show? I thought it was one in the pre-show and one on CBS, alternating year to year. When did that change?

@FeldmanAdam 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@kevinddaly Queen! (Or is it Mother?)

Forza Flavio! 🇮🇹 #RolandGarros

@DTWeetin Very disappointed in the (lack of) Detroit-themed baby gear. Not a single 313 onesie or tiny t-shirt. And nothing in the Motown shop? You guys need baby and toddler “My Girl” apparel! I was hoping to find some gifts.

Flavio Cobolli is great for tennis.

[Melissa Bernardo @mrbplus]

For the love of god don’t let McEnroe call the Italian semifinal. I cannot listen to 3+ hours of him saying Co-BALL-i. #RolandGarros

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

.@NYCSanitation I'd like to report a sweep

[Melissa Bernardo @mrbplus]

Tennis fans, I ask you: Is there anything more fun than watching Gael Monfils play? #RolandGarros

[Melissa Bernardo @mrbplus]

Listening to bits of @chessbway on iTunes (b/c I still haven’t bought it—don’t come at me) and HOLY MOLY that electric guitar riff in “Anthem.” Amazing.

[Paul Rudnick @PaulRudnickNY]

Worst production of Anything Goes ever

[Melissa Bernardo @mrbplus]

I might be late to the party but can anyone explain the Tigers “Motor City” uniforms to me?

[Melissa Bernardo @mrbplus]

@BenjBrantley Agree. And I found it even more powerful on Broadway.

[Melissa Bernardo @mrbplus]

@BenjBrantley My grandma loved her. When I was little I called her Ella Fizgrid. We use that mispronunciation to this day!

Another banner will go up at the Crisler Center, finally a partner to the one the program earned in 1989. There will be a parade held and books written.

And Michigan fans will share their memories of this team, of where they were when Trey McKenney hit the clinching shot or when Yaxel Lendeborg posterized Saint Louis or when Roddy Gayle became the superhero known as MARCH RODDY or when Cadeau's step-back 3-pointer made it a 27-point lead against mighty Arizona.

They'll talk of Morez Johnson Jr. silencing the Illini and dunking on the Spartans. They'll turn Aday Mara into Paul Bunyan, with every retelling his arms growing a little longer. They'll remember the stunning week in Las Vegas and going undefeated on the road in the Big Ten and winning the league by four games and more victories (and a better winning percentage) than any other season in Michigan basketball history. They'll proudly sing "Unwritten," the Natasha Bedingfield banger that became the team's unofficial March Madness anthem.

They'll remember when Charlie Freaking May drained a corner 3-pointer in the Elite Eight. The whole bench went berserk and Yaxel launched his towel into the stratosphere.

And that was this team. That is the story they chose to write. One lucky fan in the upper reaches of the stadium got to leave with a hell of a souvenir. But we all get the memories. Forever.

Congratulations to @CoachDustyMay, Elliot Cadeau, and @UMichBBall on winning their first title since 1989! This team dominated the tournament from start to finish. Well deserved. Go Blue!

@bsl1436 I’ll check Crate and Barrel—thanks! My current plan is to reupholster mine but it’s turning out to be a bigger headache than I anticipated.

[Melissa Bernardo @mrbplus]

New Yorkers, where are we shopping *in person* for furniture? I see nice things online but I can’t buy a big upholstered chair w/o actually sitting in it.
