Asking every kid who shows up Trick-'r-Treating tonight dressed as Scooby-Doo if they have the express written consent of the Skydance Corporation for their costume and immediately calling the police on any family who answers "no".

Which middle American chains get here and thrive is an interesting study. Steak 'n Shake tried a limited menu version briefly in the Theater District, Denny's also tried a curveball version downtown, and obviously you have a couple of Olive Gardens doing their thing.

To be fair, here in Manhattan we lack the authentic Americanism of Cheesecake Factory, unlike Obama who had access to one (which I have eaten at) at the foot of one of Chicago's most iconic buildings.

Some call it the original slasher.

Should go to this as I’m likely going to be at the Joan of Arc Marci Gras parade (the first) the next month.

Hailed by conservative Catholics as the remedy for secular liberal higher ed, he lectured the Catholic bishops about being too lax when it came to preserving Catholic identity. It’s always the ones you suspect …

Wow. Dartmouth College Provost Santiago Schnell “has resigned as provost and is leaving the university” over his use of AI. After Semafor and The Dartmouth reported on suspected AI-generated content in his writing, a faculty panel determined he had violated College policies.

Obama responds to Cheesecake gate in Georgia rally: “I am the father of two daughters. Do you think I could have survived their childhood without going to the Cheesecake Factory? I live at Chucky Cheese, and California Pizza Kitchen, and the Cheesecake Factory.”

I'm told that tomorrow is the last day of movies at Cinema 1,2,3 on the East Side. This used to be Manhattan's most prestigious cinema and a place where I spent a lot of my youth. Why was it not landmarked?

Movie situation on the East Side north of Union Square is dire with AMC Kips Bay also closing and UES AMC a dump.

Can someone recommend a movie that will absolutely destroy you in the most beautiful way? Something deeply human that makes you feel connected to the characters, leaves you staring at the credits in silence, and stays in your head for days. Not necessarily sad, just something that makes you feel EVERYTHING. A film about life, love, loss, loneliness, or the beautiful mess of being human. Something that leaves a little hole in your heart when it’s over.

Evening viewing recommendation? On the Criterion Channel, watch THE VANISHING in our Highway Horror collection! An unorthodox love story and a truly unsettling thriller, Dutch filmmaker George Sluizer’s chilling film unfolds with meticulous intensity, leading to an unforgettable finale that has unnerved audiences around the world.

That's right kids. No more messing around. It's time to put the phones away and start giving learning your full attention for a change. Now hurry up, class is about to start, everyone take our your school-issued YouTube machines.

Starting next school year, a bell-to-bell cell phone ban will take effect in every single Pennsylvania classroom. We’re getting back to the basics and keeping our classrooms focused on learning.

Biggest sidewalk score I've had in NYC was a signed Noel Coward book. Also picked up an incredible jazz CD collection along with complete organs works of Bach on vinyl.

Quite possible the TV was free too. I got a Yamaha turntable from the early '80s from a recycling bag outside a cleared apartment a few weeks back (along with dozens of books from the guy who turned out to be a history professor and devout Episcopalian).
