Here we go:

Baltimore: I saw a huge meteor while driving up Harford Road last night. I thought it was Starlink or maybe a problem with my brain, but turns out there's a meteor shower. The Draconids last through tonight: watch the north sky.

“We should replace Bad Bunny with Lee Greenwood” is an also a perfect summation of the “deal” they’ve offered universities.

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

Plenty of gripes to be had w David Simon but this rocks
junoryleejournalism.com
David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Governor Newsom just signed bills establishing:

what i don't understand about this story is how you let this slip out a month ahead of your festival before you've even announced your full lineup

this story should have been embargoed until, like, the weekend after thanksgiving

That's not a roundtable, that's a sinkhole

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

apropos of nothing, i feel compelled to say that johnny marr's set at cbgb fest was so engaging and moving, and his interpretations of the smiths catalog he performed were so much more heartfelt than any of the renditions i've seen morrissey do, and i found that fact incredibly enlightening
