A brand-new employee made a smashing start to her career at a Texas salon, as the glass sliding door she was closing exploded into hundreds of tiny pieces, leaving her client and other employees stunned.

I had a very “Leo points at screen” moment while watching You Can See Everything, recalling the last question I posed to Lance Oppenheim in an interview over 5 years ago:

From the @semafor media newsletter: After New York Times journalist Katie Rosman broke a story raising questions about Amy Griffin’s book, Griffin tried leaning on a university higher-up to block Rosman’s kid from getting into the school.

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING is just a stunning movie. The best of the year. So much to say about it, so probably best to say nothing. (Corrected.)

An important and revealing wrinkle: as the movie shows us in real time, it’s not Holmes who raises questions about the quote, it’s Billy Evans, and he doesn’t even ask her if she said it, just tells her she never would have

In today's @nytimes Backstory newsletter, I talk to Amy Chozick about the new Elizabeth Holmes documentary and Holmes's dispute over a quote from Chozick's NYT profile of her. The movie brings up the quote several times as it assesses Holmes's veracity. nytimes.com/2026/10/22/insid…

Elizabeth Holmes Quote Drama

In today’s Backstory, the new Holmes film takes issue with our profile, Nikole Hannah-Jones unpacks her viral essay and a professor shares why he thinks we apply “conservative” and “liberal” labels...

I once sat next to Amanda Seyfried at a coffee shop for 2 hours and almost didn’t notice because she was listening so sympathetically to her friend who had drama. I only noticed Amanda because she had the most beautiful dog. I will not accept slander of this woman!

A group dispatched by Hegseth's team in February attempted to move the historic globe, said to be used by Eisenhower during World War II. They lifted it from its home in an Army office in the Pentagon ... and dropped it.

hard to look at the Catapult situation and think it amounts to anything other than unionbusting by a rich kid who decided to take her ball and go home, even worse when you remember that Counterpoint has a legendary backlist they’ve been selling for pennies on the dollar for years

My Amanda Seyfried story is I sat directly behind her at Merrily We Roll Along Off-Broadway in 2022 and a stranger lost their ring in the audience so she got down on her hands and knees to look for it in the dark and found it right before the show started.

a delight talking to the Kings about their Big Tech procedural Cupertino, whose second episode ends with a heck of a twist slate.com/culture/2026/10/cu…

TV’s Best Show About the Threat of Big Tech Is Made by Two Boomers

It’s hard to imagine a show more of its moment than Cupertino.
