If the word "Harryhausen" means anything at all to then you have got to watch the new Deathstalker. What an absolutely stupid-good time.

I don’t know anything about the Nobel process so I’m asking sincerely — DO people openly campaign for the award? Was that a thing that ever happened?

Oh god. I recount this nightmare in detail in my first memoir, ZOMBIE SPACESHIP WASTELAND. It’s the chapter called “The Victory Tour.” The worst road experience I’ve ever had.

Blood pressure high

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

He’s seen the photos, she’s seen the photos, and there’s nothing else she can do or say. This is textbook, “I will never ask you a question I don’t already know the answer to.”

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election.

In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.
