This past weekend, I fell into a documentary double feature that was less popcorn and more psychological ponderings. First, the freshly Emmy-nominated Martha Stewart documentary, and then “Billy Joel: And so it goes” (because let’s be honest, we’re all in the mood for a melody, and Billy must […]
Sometimes a song hits you not because it’s about you, but because it feels like it saw you. Or at least someone like you. Or someone you once aspired to be in a club bathroom at 2am in 1999. Cue Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida.” Officially, it’s about a […]
James Gunn, director, mischief-maker, and one of the few people keeping the DC cinematic universe from fully imploding, recently said something that smacked me right in my over-caffeinated frontal lobe: “The movie industry is dying… because people are making movies without a finished screenplay.” Mic.

This past weekend, the French Open gave us more than just tennis. It gave us a gritty, sweaty, glorious masterclass in resilience. Both Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcaraz reminded us that it’s not how you start, but how you finish. And oh, did they finish. Alcaraz clawed his […]

What makes a good leader? Today marks the birthday of the one and only Dolly Parton, and as I think about her legacy, I can’t help but smile. My mom absolutely adored Dolly, and I grew up hearing her songs, seeing her sparkle, and feeling inspired by her […]
There are two types of hoarding in today’s world: the stuff that clutters your living room, and the kind that clogs up your phone with 32,000 emails and 10,000 photos you’ll never actually print. And here I am, guilty as charged, digitally hoarding to a level that would […]
Sunday mornings are my cherished slice of peace. I brew a strong coffee and settle into the couch, skimming the Sunday news on my phone and Twitter feed. Sorry, “X” feed. This morning, a headline caught my eye: “Andrew McCarthy Revisits the Brat Pack Days.” McCarthy, a staple […]
