| rantnrave:// Sorry I was late this am, my niece, AMELIE, fell asleep on me and I in turn fell asleep... What I really like is when TWITTER followers send me direct messages on how to behave... Thinking about day and date movie releases today... Did you read the SportsREDEF Original on the NBA LUXURY TAX?... This tweet is to signify that I'm very judgmental... Going home to NYC for all of APRIL. Shall we hang?... The devil himself invented LAVOSH. I know this how? I don't really eat bread and I ate a basket at SOHO HOUSE with MICHAEL DAVIS watching... Shout out to FUSION for doing good work... For all those having issues with our beta iOS app, new one coming in next few weeks. Our mess up... Happy Birthday to EV WILLIAMS, JONATHAN BRANDSTEIN, BOB MOCZYDLOWSKY, MELVIN FOWLER, JON CHRISTOPHER, DAVID CARD and ROB FISHMAN. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

| Fresh from a $5.5 billion valuation and a brash buying spree, the agency's co-CEOs open up on rival CAA (they're "freaking out"), Netflix ("a monopoly"?) Ben Affleck's future as Batman, Trump vs. Hillary, and critics of their $2.4 billion bet on sports and fashion: "They're all f—ing scared of their own goddamn shadow." | | |

| Last summer, Neal Falls tried to murder Heather Saul -- and police suspect she wasn’t the first escort he targeted. After killing him in self-defense, she was hailed as a vigilante hero, flooded with support, and turned into a symbol of the perils of sex work, but she wasn’t ready for any of it. | | |

| When I thread through the crowd at the Sasquatch music festival, I dread seeing my own 15-year-old face. Among the hoards I'm now tempted to call "young people," I'm scared to see that girl I was, waiting for my friends' band to start, black X's on the back of my hands to brand me as underaged. | | |

A few weeks ago, we lost Emerson Lake and Palmer keyboardist Keith Emerson, a true prog rock giant who left not only an impressive musical legacy of his own, but also unintentionally helped spark the three chord, DIY punk revolution through his virtuoso talent and eccentric onstage antics. | | |
