As an elder millennial it was a real a shock to me to discover that the actor who plays Lochlan on The White Lotus is the *child* of the actress who plays Jack Donaghy’s hollow-boned girlfriend on 30 Rock

I think what the world needs right now is a reboot of The Muppet Show. Same format from the 70s/80s, don’t overthink it.

This is my favorite reader comment on this story, or perhaps on any story.
Three parrots at a ritzy Manhattan apartment drove their neighbors crazy, so the coop board tried to evict them and their owner.
That set off a bitter legal fight, and the parrots won: the government announced a historic settlement against the building.

Me, working on the Fourth of July
I am covering the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island for @nytmetro again this year! It is gross and campy and absurd and fun, and it just started. Follow along here: nytimes.com/2024/07/04/nyreg…

I am at the “Official Weigh-In Ceremony” for the July 4th Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, an event that does not separate contestants by weight class. Some of these contests are either surprisingly small or surprisingly jacked.

Here is some video of the disastrous 1991 St. Patrick’s Day Parade, when spectators booed Mayor Dinkins and LGBTQ marchers, threw bottles at them, shouted slurs and chanted “AIDS!” at them. New York, and Irish America, have come a long way. vimeo.com/86513352
