I asked Rod Brind’Amour about how special it’s been having former Canes teammates along with him for the ride and if he’s a hard guy to get in touch with this time of year: “Depends who you are — and I love that question by the way.” He knew 🤣

Nailed it. The second they brutally torched the most likable guy in the league, the became persona non grata.
Marc-Andre Fleury was a likable guy no matter whose sweater he was wearing. I feel like ever since Vegas traded him and he found out about it on Twitter, they’ve been an evil organization and embracing it. Do they have a single redeeming quality anymore? #SoundTheSiren

美術館の照明は「身長160cm前後の人が、作品から1.5m〜2m離れて立った視点」を基準に、光の反射が目に入らないよう設計されている。その為、子どもには絵がテカって見えたり、背の高い人には自分の影が落ちたりする。誰もが平等に鑑賞できるわけではない現実がわかるエピソード。
6歳とゴッホ展に行って夜のカフェテラスを3週した。私が撮った写真を見せたら、 6歳が「僕が見たのはもっと遅い夜だよ」と言うので、もう1回並んで6歳に写真を撮ってもらった。視点で見え方が変わるとは思わなかった。抱き上げて見せたら「夜が明るくなったね」と言っていた。

David Hockney’s exhibition last year at Fondation Louis Vuitton was pure joy—and taught me how to appreciate the glory of hawthorn blossom. Unforgettably wonderful. RIP.

One light point. Some people are telling me I need to change my wardrobe. I have. I have 4 sets of the same outfit. You want the same songs? I want the same clothes. It seems like a fair exchange :-)

Absolutely thrilled he’s sticking with indie artists, the man’s a champion.
Jacob Tierney on choosing music for ‘HEATED RIVALRY’ Season 2: “It’s so funny, because it went from being a struggle, to now… I’m getting people’s albums before they come out. Just like, huge stars. I’m still gonna end up picking B-sides of Canadian indie bands. We’re already deep into it. I already have a playlist. Some songs I know where they’ll go and some songs, it’s like, ‘I am going to find a way to use this song because I’ve always known I need to put this song in something.’” 🔗: newyorker.com/humor/sketchbo…

Hockney is revered rightly for his painting, but we never talked enough about his IMMENSE knitwear game

New York City is 9% Muslim and has a Muslim mayor, which scares a lot of people, most of whom don't live here. This afternoon on the train ride home (air-conditioned, thank god), I see an Arab-looking girl in a headscarf and a long, conservative dress chatting animatedly with her friend, a Chinese-American girl (New York is 15% Asian) in shorts and a tank top. As far as I can tell, neither one of them mentions Sharia or jihad; instead, they seem to be looking at pictures and arguing about which boy (I assume) looks cutest. They address each other as "bro." A Caribbean woman enters the car, chatting on her phone. She is heavyset and middle-aged, with dyed orange hair. She sits down and gets off the phone as the train leaves the station. Next stop, another middle-aged black woman, more conservatively dressed, sits down next to her. She's reading "Kin" by Tayari Jones (an Oprah Book Club recommendation). (New York is 20% black, about 1/3 of those from the Caribbean.) At the same time, a white father and daughter come in. People scrunch aside so they can sit together. He starts to read a picture book to her, but after a bit, she insists she can read on her own. He pulls out his own book. (New York is 31% non-Hispanic white.) A few stops later, a Hispanic man gets on the train with a guitar. Oh no! But it turns out he's pretty good (often not the case), I enjoy his plaintive ballads about love or something. I give him a dollar, and he says "Gracias." (New York is 29% Hispanic.) There's one annoying drunk dude, an older white guy. I assume he's drunk and not crazy or homeless because his clothes are nice and he's clutching a phone, but he seems on the verge of passing out, repeatedly bending over slowly until another lurch of the train wakes him up and he straightens. The dad with the daughter looks alert and peeved. Understandably! I get out at my stop, along with the drunk guy, but I take a different set of stairs to avoid dealing with him. Then a short walk from the station in the sweltering heat, with a brief stop at my Yemeni bodega (more Muslims!). Finally, I pass a Cuban-run barbershop with no one getting a haircut, and a couple sitting outside (the owners, I assume) listening to salsa. I get home and turn on the damn AC, safe once more from assault and/or bad serenades.

Quick random Gwyneth Paltrow story. She has sent the same bouquet of condolence flowers every year to a friend of mine because of her father’s death. Her father isn’t dead. She’s been told this at least 6 times, but every April the flowers come, on her birthday. She has confused her birthday with her father’s supposed death & has done this for 20 years. And she’s met her father. Twice.
