“At press time, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) had reportedly been dragged into a conversation with a constituent after the otherwise motionless lawmaker forgot to silence her phone.”

ICYMI: #TheGildedAge season 3 premiered last night, and LORD how we missed it! My review: ew.com/the-gilded-a...

Every time I fire up #LoveIslandUK, I think about this SNL sketch: “You WILL watch 50 hours of this. You think you won’t, but you will.” youtu.be/xj65JgmJBYc?...

In honor of JAWS, one of the few, rare, "perfect movies," here is a reminder that America decided to elect its own Mayor Larry Vaughn.

My brilliant former colleague Lester Fabian Brathwaite has a substack, and I’m honored to get a shoutout: substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Happy Friday!

While chatting with @melanielynskey.bsky.social, we also talked about the "lost" episode of #Yellowjackets featuring her husband, Jason Ritter. (Fun fact: It has an unexpected connection to his hilarious/viral "the arugula's gone bad" video): ew.com/yellowjacket...

What a treat to talk #Yellowjackets season 3 with the incomparable @melanielynskey.bsky.social, for @ew.com's #TheAwardist podcast: ew.com/yellowjacket...

#TheWaterfront on Netflix is not very good, but I finished the whole thing just to watch #TopherGrace, who is smarmy perfection as chipper psychopath/aspiring drug lord Grady.

Get it, ladies! ew.com/dallas-cowbo...

Netflix's 'Cobra Kai' brought back multiple fan favorites from the 'Karate Kid' universe, but the showrunners had no luck convincing 'The Next Karate Kid' star Hilary Swank to return.

Need to know what @stephenking.bsky.social thinks! www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/16/l...

Had a great time talking to the #CobraKai creators about their favorite #KarateKid Easter eggs in season 6, from "You're the Best" to deep cut dialogue callbacks: ew.com/cobra-kai-se...

If it were up to me, every contestant on #BachelorInParadise this season would be a Golden ❤️ ew.com/bachelor-in-...

Yes! The work continues! There are dangerous bills still making their way through the Senate, like HR 1 the big bullshit budget bill, and now also HR 4 Trump's budget rescissions package that cuts funding for NPR, PBS and foreign aid. Hit the phones! 👉🏽 5calls.org

Breathe in like the world owes you money. Breathe out like you’re never getting it back. Do this five times before setting anything on fire.

Shout out to Cher Horowitz!

Right on schedule. ew.com/grant-ellis-...

NOT COLTON WHYYYYYYYYYYY

I once tried to get my toddler son to stop talking Amy Ryan’s ear off about dinosaurs at the playground but he said, “Go away, mom” 🫠

HERE IS A THING that EVERY American can do: 1. Call your Senator. 2. Say the following: "I am requesting that you place a hold on the nomination of Bill Essayli as U.S. Attorney for the Central District of CA for directing federal agents to assault a U.S. Senator." 3. Call other Senator, repeat

*Chuck Schumer approaches the mics, holding a large deli sandwich* “This President is full of…balogna!” *brief pause for laughter; none is forthcoming “I have just written an email—“ *sandwich falls apart in his hand* *camera pulls back to reveal he is in a cell in Gitmo*

#LoveIslandUK closed caption writers already killing it 😂

#TheGildedAge season 3 is SO FREAKING GOOD. My review: ew.com/the-gilded-a...

UGH this is so sad. #RIP people.com/ananda-lewis...

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Cow and Robert Ford (2007)

Loooooved talking to #SomebodySomewhere star #BridgetEverett for @ew.com's #TheAwardist podcast. We talked about many of the final season's beautiful moments (Brad's song, Sam singing "The Climb", that awkward doctor's visit) and more. NOMINATE THIS SHOW, EMMY VOTERS! ew.com/bridget-ever...
