Doing the Heart Walk again this November. In the past, I've typed letters. I took an unfairly long time to do that. NOW FOR 2026 - If you donate $10 or more, I will mail to you a typewritten postcard from one of these exotic (Michigan or Philadelphia) locales!

A hand holding an array of vintage Michigan postcards. There are so many! They are so old! They are so glossy! In the background, a poster for Neil Young's "On the Beach" album.

He retired as SNL's longest-tenured writer more than a decade ago. Now, at 73, he's having a moment, with a viral Epstein joke on Conan's podcast, a sinister supporting turn in One Battle After Anothe...

More here (gift link). As a longtime member, I hope some of this helps, as it is a beautiful, important institution in this city and a wonderful place to visit. Just not sure displaying art by Sylvester Stallone is the way to go. The Roots as artist-in-residence? Sure!

The Philadelphia Museum of Art has a new name and other plans to revive attendance

Chasing an elusive pandemic recovery, the museum is rolling out a slew of changes. It includes a new name and logo, and an embracing of dips into sports, hip hop, and Sylvester Stallone.

I like the logo, the slight name change, but never, ever going to call it "PhAM." Some of this kind of gets into "How do you do, fellow kids" territory.

If ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING ended with all these seasons being in Oliver’s last minute or seconds of life, just mashing and imagining people whom he’d seen and didn’t know him at all into these stories, that would be something.

This all already wasn't ending well and now is definitely Not Going To End Well.

Column | Friends took my face with the viral Sora app. I laughed. Then I got scared.

Lost in the wave of LOLs over OpenAI’s new Sora app is what it actually feels like to lose control of your own face.

I love them both but Travis and Patrick look like they’re running a traveling medicine show in the Great Depression

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

Screenshot of the scene from SEINFELD when Jerry comes in, with George on the floor, having failed to get Kramer to go along with the Vandelay Industries scam. Kramer and Elaine are on the couch. The caption now reads - "And you want to be my editor-in-chief of CBS News."

Honestly, baseball is a child’s sport, when you think about. A little game, a little game for the children. It would be embarrassing to be good at it as an adult, to win at baseball.

And the traditional switching of seasons, from Phillies disappointment to months of Sixers disappointment. Children switch the ornaments on the tree as we all solemnly bow our heads.

if you’re at the Phillies game tonight and they’re not up by at least 3 runs by the 5th inning go into the team store and just walk out with whatever you can carry.
