This is the biggest oil disruption in history | CNN Business A historic disruption to the world’s oil production sent crude prices smashing through the $100 barrier Monday for the first time in nearly four years.

It is burned into my brain that oil reached a high of $147/barrel a few months into the Iraq war and that was 20+ years ago so…get ready www.cnn.com/2026/03/09/e...

Is The Bride! a good movie? I don’t know. Did my goth heart enjoy it thoroughly? It DID (the second hour at least)

How President Trump’s Image Permeates the White House and Beyond President Trump’s image — in paint and pixels, on posters and sculptures — is ubiquitous inside the White House, and beyond.

“never before has a sitting president displayed so much of his own image on the White House walls” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

If you have friends in Iran, life is a game of international phone tag trying to get word from someone who got word from someone else who heard somehow that they are okay

Seeing Sirat to “zone out” and “escape” was certainly a choice

Someone tell the kids how ahead of the Iraq war, though unsuccessful, there was actually tons of global discussion and pushback, and hundreds of thousands in the streets, and this time we all knew this was coming and there was nothing

The Carolyn Bessette saturation is TOO MUCH. I need people to know not everyone in New York was obsessed. It was also a time of riot grrrl and Sonic Youth and CBGBs was even still open. Stop putting today’s monoculture on our time! We contained multitudes! Enough!

The last time I saw Mitski her fans were so psychotic (I mean, devoted) that I didn’t go to a show again for like a year. We’ll see if this time is different! Love to not learn lessons.

‘Sinners’ is so much bigger than the BAFTA chaos around it | CNN The British awards show incident cannot distract from the fact that “Sinners,” with its deep ancestral history and record-breaking 16 Oscars nominations, has changed the game for film.

I'm quoted in this story on @cnn.com about the power and importance of SINNERS.

Epstein and the Capitalist Conspiracy Naomi Klein discusses what to do with a narrative that mirrors the worst anti-Jewish theories and the importance of holding our depraved elites…

This was a great episode from @jewishcurrents.bsky.social, with @naomiaklein.bsky.social talking about Epstein, the role of anti-Semitic conspiracy, and, of course, capitalism jewishcurrents.org/epstein-and-...

I try to keep up with what the kids are saying but this “-maxxing” thing, particularly when used ironically by adults, is out of control

Who’s Pulling the Strings on the World Stage? Ask the Puppets.

Alex Kliment is one of the smartest people I know (taught himself fluent Arabic and Russian and pretty much every musical instrument on the planet) and his puppets are very funny
