My first step through this rabbit hole of ours was Oh My Goddess and my first official Drama was High School Love On! As you can tell from those two titles I am already positively predisposed towards shows with magical girlfriends. Liang Chen may not man the Yggdrasil hotline or be a fallen angel but she may as well be with how far removed she is from your regular man on the street.

Wilson is one of the few public facilities in Kenya named in honor of a colonial settler. This is the story of Florence Wilson – a millionaire widow – and a young British pilot, Captain Thomas Campbell Black. It is also a story of passion and love. Florrie Wilson inherited a fortune from her husband – Major Wilson, and was deemed one of the richest women in the then Kenya colony.

These questions posted on Reddit are real: my interpretations of what they’re actually saying maybe are not but that’s never stopped me: “How can I be a better gentle parent?” (I am already a very gentle parent but am so gentle I know I could be gentler.) “Child model” (my child is more beautiful than most) “Advice on calling my child a ‘good girl’” (my …

Years back I ran a magazine called Radio Silence with a handful of friends. The focus was literature and rock & roll, and we invited writers and musicians to contribute. A highlight of those years was flying to LA with our contributing editor, Ben Hedin, to interview Lucinda Williams in her home at the edge of the San Fernando Valley. Her dad, Miller Williams, had long been one of my favorite poets, and of course I loved Lucinda’s music.

As the final frontier, space is supposed to be the most dangerous place a person can somewhat realistically go to, the farthest you can remove yourself from humanity. “In space, no one can hear you scream,” reads one of the most iconic taglines to one of the most iconic space movies. It’s not just Alien. It’s also Gravity, The Martian, Apollo 13, and so on. A lifetime of movies has taught us just how perilous space is.

Before last season, the 70-point barrier had been shattered by an NBA player in a game 11 times overall, and just four times since 1963 — by David Thompson (1978), David Robinson (1994), Kobe Bryant (2006) and Devin Booker (2017). But the total number of 70+ point games in NBA history has grown by 36% in the past 55 weeks… and by 15% in the past four days, after Joel Embiid and Luka Dončić each poured in 70+ this week.

(There’s a lunar eclipse in the Pacific Ocean on Purim March 3, 2026 but that’s not the same as being a total lunar eclipse in Washington DC as we see on March 14, 2025 and March 25, 2024.
