Coco Gauff says she believes in climate change & can’t be mad at the protesters:

“I believe in climate change. I don’t know exactly what they were protesting.. I 100% believe there are things we could do better. Would I prefer it not happening in my match? 100%. It is what it is.. moments like this are history defining moments. I wasn’t pissed at the protesters. I always speak about preaching what you believe in. It was done in a peaceful way. I can’t get too mad at it.. if that’s what they felt they needed to do to get their voices heard I can’t really get upset at it.” ❤️

I honestly don’t give an F if some bigot doesn’t wanna make a gay wedding website in 2023 but it is kind of a tell that there’s never a lawsuit about a Catholic baker who won’t do a cake for a straight couples third wedding because the pope didn’t annul it.

The obvious policy solution is to tax the hell out of the Ivy League hedge funds and use the money to build up state schools.

A torrent of mail arrived at The New Yorker in the wake of Shirley Jackson’s short story “The Lottery”—the most the magazine had ever received in response to a work of fiction. https://t.co/d2xXkqo71H

I am here outside the New York Public Library, which is holding a 100th birthday party for Henry Kissinger tonight.

The guest list is secret, but I've confirmed that Secretary of State Tony Blinken will attend.

I'll be here on the red carpet, documenting who else shows up.

Over the course of 15 years, a producer listened to nearly 2,000 hours of music to find hundreds of demos from the legendary label Stax—a buried treasure of soul.

Spoke to @SenFeinstein today for a brief minute. I asked her how she was feeling and also about the well-wishes she's heard from colleagues. This is how she responded.

What an incredible band. Everything about them is minimal and immediate. Possessed by a mania, you can't take your eyes off them. Ricky the most original guitarist in a decade, everyone's role perfectly defined... Like a Taj Mahal made of twigs.

Huge congrats Anderson Comas on coming out as gay in baseball and inspiring others!

Great to see support from @whitesox and others across sports.

Everyone romanticizes having a large personal library, but one day, you'll move houses. One day, you'll be tasked with hauling those books up and down flights of stairs. And on that day, the romance ends.

Is this how we convince Republicans to support ranked-choice voting?
