That Marissa Mayer girlboss NYTimes article not doing her plenty favors. Like girl u won at life already, take your billions and go away. Forever.
I always liked watching Francis Duru onscreen. Solid actor, and seemed so unassuming. May his soul rest in peace.
Not enough people talking about Mason Reeves in Josephine probably because she's a child actor. Phenomenal work.
Stumbled on heavy police presence at a church yesterday in SF and when I inquired why got the saddest story. This woman who retired as a top cop and head of a swat team decided to leave her husband (also an ex cop) and he killed her and their daughter in their home. Just tragic.
He killed himself too btw. Anyway SFPD pulled out the stops to give her a proper service. Ann Mannix is her name.

In a restaurant and this waiter asked me if I would like to pay now or later immediately after taking my order. I checked and he hasn't asked any other patrons after. Goes without saying, no tip.
Mr Dua Lipa's taking it.

UPDATE: The couple's attorney, Kenneth Mollins, says Douglas Elliman has fired the real estate agent.
##
A Long Island couple is suing after they said they received a text message from a real estate agent while searching for an apartment in Queens that said, “ugh they are black.”
According to the lawsuit, the realtor apparently texted the couple instead of the owner of the apartment in Flushing.
Lisa Renee Olaso said she and her fiancé had driven up from Delaware to view the apartment, as they were relocating to New York. They have since found a home in Commack.
She said she received the text message as they were getting out of the car to meet the agent. When she confronted the agent, the agent tried to unsend the message but was unable to. She said the agent apologized, “and I appreciate that, but it doesn’t change the pain.”
“It doesn’t take away people who on social media had to read that and see that we’re still having to deal with this unnecessary discrimination, prejudice and racism in 2026,” she said.
The couple said they’re not looking for money but for their story to be told. “This is why I wanted to talk to an attorney to just see if there is any way to avoid anyone feeling the way I feel right now and the way that I felt when that took place,” Olaso said.
The lawsuit was filed in Queens alleging violations of state and federal discrimination laws.
1010 WINS has reached out to the realtor and her company for comment but has not heard back.

A judge in New Mexico ordered Meta to pay a $25 billion judgment for deceiving users about how it handled their personal data, a penalty the state’s attorney general said appeared to be the largest of its kind ever issued. wapo.st/4BzR36G
I see how this conclusion was arrived at.
Paweł Pawlikowski’s latest film, “Fatherland,” which won the Best Director prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, is about the novelist Thomas Mann’s return to Germany, in 1949, to receive an award. “If Pawlikowski’s aim was to portray Mann (played by Hanns Zischler) as a terminal bore and a pompous ass, he succeeded brilliantly,” Richard Brody writes. Pawlikowski tweaks the facts of Mann’s life to fit his style—and the style he rarifies in this film is one with little room for variety or range. “It is a cinema of prefabricated meaning and predetermined mood,” Brody writes.
