so, @abebeame.bsky.social finagled his way into the NYFF's Marty Supreme events, then penned a dispatch for the ages

Inside Timothée Chalamet's Surprise Marty Supreme Screening (and the Afterparty Supreme)

A sneak preview of Josh Safdie's Chalamet-led ping-pong-wizard epic at the New York Film Festival sold out in minutes. We dreamed big and made it past the velvet rope.

I interviewed my childhood hero (!!!) Travis Barker about two of my favorite things: drumming and long-distance running 🥲

Thank God, happy to learn it’s not so bad. I guess we can say that Dolly is not sick, but she’s also not well.

Bevis Musson @bevismusson.bsky.social · 7h

An update from Freida Parton so it sounds like Dolly isn't well, but she's not *that* unwell. Still at 79 any illness isn't good so I'm still hoping she's fine because she's clearly got so much to give still and makes the world a better place just by being in it.

A screenshot of a post from Freida Parton on thr Other Place. It reads:
I want to clear something up. I didn't mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly. She's been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.
