Trump’s stablecoin is shady and a national security risk. He’s cashing in on foreign crypto deals—and weakening guardrails that protect our advanced technology. The Senate shouldn’t greenlight this corruption by passing the GENIUS Act without fixes.

Finally got my NYTimes subscription situation handled after exhausting all of the online options/chats and then spending over an hour on the phone. I cannot think of another business that made it so hard to give them money.

Just saw the matinee of the 1932 Scarface at the MusicBox. Highly recommend seeing the original of something iconic the way it was meant to be seen.

Peter Sellars 4+ hour production of Merchant of Venice at the Goodman Theatre - easily, over half of the audience left before intermission. Apparently it was worth it if you stayed to the end, we did not.

Sometimes I look at my life and realize that I have achieved a job title(and honestly) circumstances of a character in a romantic comedy. Day to day, I don’t feel it but sometimes I look at what I do and feel ridiculous.

Is it possible that the number of sexual predators among Trump’s cabinet picks just means that he wants to hang out with people who share his interests?
