Everyone being so shocked at how hard Zohran has been campaigning and it’s like… well ya, he’s 34 years old, this is what a normal campaign looks like when you run someone who isn’t a 1000 years old.

After leaving HBO Max earlier this year, ‘Looney Tunes’ is a hit on Tubi, the company says, and popular across generations. It should be a model for every classic cartoons trapped in streaming limbo.

This summer, I went to Panama and met Jharana, a 33-year-old from Nepal who had been deported there in a group of 300 others — the 1st group to be sent to a third country. I wrote about what happened to her and others over the year for @NYMag

Nearly 300 people were sent to a country they’d never lived in. The journey didn’t end there.

My colleagues and I took to the streets in Brooklyn last night. Heath Freeman has the money to fund 22 pilates studios, a marina and restaurant on Montauk, and a newspaper takeover bid in Texas, but he can't give his reporters paying New York City rents a fair contract.

THE HUNT FOR HEATH: Tonight we’re outside a Brooklyn pilates studio passing out flyers about our contract fight. Why? Because these studios are bank-rolled by Alden Global Capital’s Heath Freeman and owned by his sister.

Netflix’s animated megahit ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ owes its success, in part, to a technique that dates back to the earliest days of animation: the smear.

BIG NEWS! I’m currently bleeding (joyfully) all over a brand-new indie adult animation pilot called EL GUAPO VS THE NARCO VAMPIRES. It’s pretty insane. It’s totally unhinged. I love it with all my mustached heart. More info soon...
