Tony nominee @jalithgow is terrific as Roald Dahl in @gianttheplay, a play that places itself in the center of the antisemitism vs anti-Zionism debate.

'Giant' comes at a time when the conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism has been politicized and used to detain students, shut down legal protests, and justify sending funds and weapons to Israel. It is undeniably riveting to see an A-list actor on a Broadway stage articulate the political frustrations progressive Jews have been desperately experiencing: the anguish over ethnic cleansing being done in their names; the alienation from mainstream Jewish organizations, which continue to treat support for this nation-state as a compulsory tenet of their values and fundraising; and the trap of trying to distinguish antisemitism from anti-Zionism when so many prominent Jewish spokespeople believe we should prosecute protests against Israel like hate crimes against Jews. But 'Giant' puts most of these ideas in the mouth of a monster, structurally positioning a centuries-old, irrational antisemitism as the underlying motivator of non-Jews who speak out against Israel.

Lithgow's performance fills the theater. He begins the play as a lovable grump who wins over the audience before revealing deeper layers of agitated nastiness, retreating into a stunted, boyish, manipulative avoidance followed by deep paternal suffering and, at the play's boiling points, inhabiting frightening rage. "My Roald Dahl is a broken clock who is correct twice a day. He says things that you reflexively agree with, and then he undermines it by betraying his own cruel nature," Lithgow says.

New Yorkers are still riding high after the Knicks soundly defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday and booked their first appearance in the NBA Finals since 1999. Donald Trump is apparently paying attention, too, and the fans and A-listers preparing to fill Madison Square Garden with blue and orange may have to make room for him. Trump is planning to attend a game of the championship series at the storied arena after receiving an official invite from longtime pal James Dolan, the owner of both the team and MSG. If you weren’t aware of Trump’s affinity for the Knicks, that’s because there hasn’t much sign of it lately. When he was just a celebrity, Trump used to be a periodic courtside presence at the Garden and make regular cameos in greater Knicks culture, but the extent of politician Trump’s fandom is less clear. He may or may not be able to name multiple members of the Knicks’ current starting lineup, but swipe to see the evidence of his past relationship with the team and tap the link in our bio for the full investigation.

Nick Bilton recently flew to New York to meet with Martin Scorsese to discuss the screenplay he adapted from his forthcoming book with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson about a Hawaiian crime syndicate, when a very different career opportunity presented itself. During the trip, Bilton also met up with CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and she gauged his interest in taking over ‘60 Minutes.’ “It was an unbelievable opportunity and I couldn’t get it out of my head,” Bilton said Thursday, just hours after being named the iconic newsmagazine’s new executive producer. “I have so many ideas and innovative ideas that I just cannot wait to bring to ‘60.’”

Weiss’s selection of Bilton sent shock waves through the network and coincided with a broader shake-up at CBS News. With Thursday’s moves, Weiss is fully putting her stamp on the program, or as one CBS News staffer put it, “It’s a full hostile takeover.”

When Bilton, a seasoned journalist, was asked about his lack of TV experience, he said: “Do I need to know which button to press to make sure the show goes on air on a Sunday night? No. If there are questions I don’t have the answers to, there is a building full of people that can answer them. But for me, I know how to report, I know how to do investigative journalism. I know how to work with producers, to tell stories in all different formats.”

Since opening in April, Marcel, the fine-dining commissary in Sotheby’s newly acquired Breuer Building, has become a mandatory visit on the spring social circuit. Lauren Santo Domingo, decorator Kelly Wearstler, and one of the Times’ art critics have all paraded through. The various museum-quality canvases displayed around the dining room — Willem de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Ellsworth Kelly — are themselves like dropped names, hoisted and hung.

Whether Marcel succeeds as a high-end showroom of art and ‘objets’, “I’m not equipped to say,” writes chief restaurant critic @matthewschneier. “As a restaurant? The spirit of brutalism compels me to be brutal: It fails.”

“For all the toque-wearing chefs milling about the open kitchen, the cooking feels catered. It is dressy but unexciting, meekly seasoned and reticent except when it is passionately oversalted,” Schneier continues. “In this space, with these backers, at these prices and this anticipation, you’d better be serving the town’s best versions of them, and so far, Marcel isn’t.”

In May, the New York ‘Times’ reported that media entrepreneur Steven Rosenbaum had included “more than a half-dozen misattributed or fake quotes” in his book, “The Future of Truth,” seemingly generated by AI. Rosenbaum had previously acknowledged that he’d used AI tools during the research, writing, and editing process, but the investigation was nevertheless mortifying — for both Rosenbaum and his publisher, Simon & Schuster. The book-publishing industry had already been wrestling with the prospect of a flood of AI-authored texts in the fiction market, and now the Rosenbaum scandal was showing the way AI could blow a hole in the nonfiction sector, too.

Nonfiction publishing is uniquely vulnerable to AI because the industry has long neglected to do anything to ensure the books it publishes are factually accurate. “People outside of the industry don’t understand that, contractually, publishers are not obligated to fact-check,” said Paul Bogaards, who was a longtime executive at Knopf.

Worse, it seems publishers have no idea what to do about this glaring vulnerability. “We don’t have systems in place,” said literary agent Alia Hanna Habib. “For every contract, there is a conversation, and it never really feels like anyone has the right answer,” said one editor at a major publishing house.

Editors, writers, and agents say the problem is likely already rampant. “I feel like everyone is passing off AI work as their own and most of the time don’t say anything about it,” said a senior nonfiction editor at a major publishing house.

Worse, it seems publishers have no idea what to do about this glaring vulnerability. “We don’t have systems in place,” said literary agent Alia Hanna Habib. “For every contract, there is a conversation, and it never really feels like anyone has the right answer,” said one editor at a major publishing house.

Editors, writers, and agents say the problem is likely already rampant. “I feel like everyone is passing off AI work as their own and most of the time don’t say anything about it,” said a senior nonfiction editor at a major publishing house.

In May, the New York ‘Times’ reported that media entrepreneur Steven Rosenbaum had included “more than a half-dozen misattributed or fake quotes” in his book, “The Future of Truth,” seemingly generated by AI. Rosenbaum had previously acknowledged that he’d used AI tools during the research, writing, and editing process, but the investigation was nevertheless mortifying — for both Rosenbaum and his publisher, Simon & Schuster. The book-publishing industry had already been wrestling with the prospect of a flood of AI-authored texts in the fiction market, and now the Rosenbaum scandal was showing the way AI could blow a hole in the nonfiction sector, too.

If drones are gamifying war and Robinhood is gamifying the stock market, then the drone stock bubble is where these two forces converge, driven by a generation that grew up playing first-person shooter games.

Drone companies are attracting well-known names, including President Donald Trump’s older sons and Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google. Yet much of the money is coming from retail investors — primarily young men — influenced by social media and motivated by a mix of patriotism, easy money, and a morbid fascination with a war that is streaming daily on their phones.

“I think that for many people, it's almost like just leaning into dystopian technology, embracing modern warfare, embracing the destruction of societies and people,” said Michael Sikand, a financial influencer. “It's almost just like, okay, if this is where the world is going, we need to put our money into this.”

Retail investors are only going to get burned, says Joe Pivarunas, the managing director of a research firm that focuses on disruptive tech stocks. “Social media, I believe, is one of the worst things that happened to retail investors,” he said.

One metric to show just how successful 26-year-old Curry Barker’s movie, ‘Obsession,’ has become is that some people now think an older, more experienced person directed it, like how folks assumed Matt Damon and Ben Affleck couldn’t have written ‘Good Will Hunting.’ Another metric is the money. The horror film’s box office actually went up by 39 percent in the second weekend of its wide release. ‘Obsession’ made $17 million on its opening weekend domestically and $23.9 million over Memorial Day weekend. Including international box office, the movie has now made $75 million. The total amount is particularly shocking given the film’s comparatively minuscule $1 million budget. It’s a towering success for Barker, who got his deal based on the success of a short horror film, titled ‘The Chair,’ that he uploaded to YouTube.

To help people get over their phobias, many clinics and providers offer speedy exposure-therapy programs: a weeklong workshop or a one-session intensive. You’ve likely seen ads for them on social media among hundreds of videos documenting self-led exposures: riding the tube on an empty stomach to address a fear of fainting or doing the robot at a street performance to face social anxiety.

When undertaken with the help of a clinician, ET’s success rate is well-known to be high — estimated at up to 90 percent. But “success” in this context means feeling a reduction in fear upon completion of the program, a definition that belies a difficult and underpublicized reality of ET: Its positive effects frequently wane with time.

“Return of fear,” the clinical term for when phobia patients backslide, occurs in as many as 62 percent of ET patients. Though few therapists lead with this truth, many patients chip away at their phobia for years, not days or weeks, and return to treatment on and off for the rest of their lives. Some are so disheartened that they give up on ET altogether.

Is ET still worth trying, even if anxiety returns? At the link in our bio, Katie Arnold-Ratliff demystifies a popular understanding of exposure therapy and discusses how overcoming fear is a longer process than you’d think.

“Nobody would call Astor Place the center of New York City, but for the people who start their lives here as students at NYU, it could feel like that for at least a little while. Cozy Soup ’n’ Burger fit in perfectly, waiting for you right as you hit the Broadway end of the block,” writes Jason Diamond. “It is a real diner — the likes of which keep getting closer to extinction — but for people who lived, worked, and studied within its vicinity over the last 54 years, it always felt like something a little more. Like any diner that sticks around for multiple decades, its greatness can be measured by the community it fostered and the people it has fed more than sales numbers or the quality of food.”

Unfortunately, those things don’t seem to keep the lights on anymore, and at the end of June, Cozy will close for good.

It’s another loss for the city, another landmark that predates the birth or arrival of most people who live here, soon to be gone forever. It wasn’t a culinary landmark — though you likely won’t find such perfect split-pea soup and thick-cut French fries anywhere else in the surrounding Zip Codes — and it never tried to rise above its humble station. The mood in the world being what it is, losing a place quite literally called cozy feels almost too on the nose.

“As the myth of ‘Donald the Dove’ falls apart in Iran — and Tucker Carlson implies the president is the ‘Anti-Christ’ — it should be an opportunity for Democrats to capture some of the anti-interventionist vote,” writes Jasper Craven. Sixty-four percent of Americans disapprove of the decision to attack Iran. The war has forced an ongoing crack-up in the Republican Party. And there is not strong internal opposition among the base to speaking out. Ninety percent of Democrat-leaning voters oppose Trump’s handling of the war. Yet, in the weeks after U.S. bombs hit Iran, Maryland Democratic senator Chris Van Hollen found his party’s stance on the war “confused.”

“The Democratic Party could have a much clearer voice, and clearer position, on questions of war and peace,” Van Hollen tells Craven. “There are some pretty basic principles that should guide us.” Instead, the party is in a “messy” antiwar realignment, said Tré Easton, a longtime Democratic Hill staffer now working for a think tank.

What really is the party’s stance on the U.S. starting a war? At the link in our bio, read Craven’s full report on how Democrats are still trying to figure out exactly what the party stands for on foreign policy beyond opposition to Trump.
