Legendary New Yorker Fran Lebowitz is, once again, ready to tell you exactly what she thinks and, this time, you can hear it live. The sharp-tongued writer and cultural critic will return to the stage for two nights only this December, bringing both her acerbic observations and perfectly timed complaints to The Town Hall.
I learned early that autumn that I needed medicine, not an exorcism. An endocrinologist diagnosed type 2 diabetes (and it was 'serious,' he told me, gesticulating). High blood sugar had dried out my skin, making me itch; it had stolen my energy, sickened me in the heat, and caused my relentless hunger, or polyphagia.
Nassim Soleimanpour's White Rabbit, Red Rabbit has become a hallmark of 'cold read' plays, where actors perform without prior knowledge of the script, responding live to prompts.
"I think we're in a place where we're trying to make marriage seem more like a positive choice, rather than an obvious obligation. It's a fascinating fiction that those who get married subscribe to, hoping that the fiction becomes true."
The initial offense could have maintained a shield of plausible deniability- dismissed as an unfortunate use of a common phrase between people when having a misunderstanding.

The ad kicks off by trying to instill some nostalgia by telling us that Ted, our aimless everyman, was born in 1998, the 'year of the first Google search.' Fast forward to him as a kid, Googling 'james blunt music video.' The song 'You're Beautiful' plays as his life, in the form of Google queries, flashes forward until he's an unfortunate 26-year-old, who has a huge house to himself, soul-searching in our age of predatory dating apps and AI sexbots.
The Surge presents a roundup of political events, blending good news with a significant volume of bad news, particularly surrounding Donald Trump's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein's federal investigation.
Of YouTube's many microgenres, one of the most popular and most enduring is the airplane meltdown. There are thousands or maybe millions of these videos online: Passengers going nuts over spilled drinks or supposedly bad service; flight cancellations turning grown adults feral.
Kyle Schwarber was named the MVP of the 2025 All-Star Game, despite Shane Smith's notable but non-game-related striking performance. The game saw a significant tribute to Henry Aaron's historic 715th home run, coinciding with its 51st anniversary. In a surprising move, MLB truncated Vin Scully's call of the record-breaking homer, omitting key statements about race and history.
