To those who are observing Yom Kippur, G’mar chatima tovah. And if you're fasting, have an easy one. #YomKippur
One thing I don't understand about the DSA platform is abolish prisons. Huh? Is there a gulag you know about in the US where we can send criminals? Or people who commit serious crimes will not be punished? Please clarify.
I was at the gym earlier listening to the original B'way score for "Spring Awakening." It was masterful 20 years ago when I first heard it and it's still masterful. #RIPDuncanSheik #SpringAwakening
Terrible. The score he composed for "Spring Awakening" with Steven Sater is beyond brilliant. I happily voted for the show and score when I was a Drama Desk voter. I'm listening to the score right now in Duncan Sheik's honor. RIP. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/18/a...
Duncan Sheik, Who Traded Pop Stardom for Broadway, Dies at 56
Weary of the heartthrob label after his 1996 hit “Barely Breathing,” he pivoted to musical theater and won two Tonys for composing “Spring Awakening.”

Very alarmed to read about the hugely talented, Tony Award-winning composer Duncan Sheik's medical condition. His score for "Spring Awakening" (which he co-wrote with Steven Sater) is pure genius. My best wishes for his recovery. #DuncanSheik #Broadway

Just came back from seeing "The Odyssey." It's excellent. Yes, there are some changes from the book (I read it three times — from high school to college). But I wasn't bothered by it. I was surprised by how well done this movie is. A triumph for Nolan. Go see it! #TheOdyssey

Congratulations to the Knicks for coming from behind to win Game 4. Honestly, I have no interest in basketball--but I must always root for the home team. Go Knicks! #Knicks
I've been listening to Paul McCartney's "The Boys of Dungeon Lane." It's been a while since I've listened to one of McCartney's solo (non-Beatle) albums. Overall, this album is quite poignant in its embrace of the past. Really well done.
Am I the only one who still carries around in her purse the CDC covid vaccination card?
So who here is worried about the hantavirus? Yes, I know the experts are saying it's not a pandemic like covid and we shouldn't worry but I do remember the chatter about covid being contained in the very early days. #hantavirus
Very sad to read about now retired Congressman Barney Frank entering hospice care. He was a great Democrat, a real champion of the people and the underdogs. God bless him. #BarneyFrank
Trump INHERITED his wealth. Trump was GIVEN Truth social. Trump was GIVEN his crypto business. Trump was GIVEN The Apprentice job. He has never been successful in any business EVER.
Just saw that Trump's not so lovely mug is now embossed in the current batch of US passports. I'm SO relieved my passport was renewed before he became president again.
Congratulations to Joy Division/New Order, Billy Idol and Sade for being 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. My '80s heart is thrilled (especially for Joy Division, a really seminal post-punk/New Wave band). #RockandRollHallofFame
