Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

See, I always love it when a film throws a bunch of money at a couple of academics like this. Fuck yeah Professor Adler, go hog wild in the set shop being uptight about the color of the stone walls

PEE WEE AS HIMSELF is a powerful work of art about one of the most original performers of the 20th century, and his final words at the end of the film absolutely broke my heart. I love Paul Reubens so much.

This is an excellent play, and it is an electrifying experience to see it with an audience that is largely female, very young for Broadway, and locked into every beat of it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/o...

1. Hacks is the best show on TV 2. If you haven't seen it, drop everything else in your life to binge the series 3. If you disagree, lose my number 4. If you clap back at me with another show, you're wrong. See #3

I was episode 1200 (right between Salma Hayek and Jodie Foster!) and it was a privilege to be interviewed by Marc Maron. I'm grateful that he invited me on, and I will truly miss his show, but hell yes to ending a 16-year run on your own terms.

Trump’s advisers have given up trying to restrict his phone use. His personal cellphone has become, @ashleyrparker.bsky.social and @michaelscherer.bsky.social write, “the most pivotal technological device in the federal government, directly linking Trump to the outside world.”
