The United States Senator from Texas has a second gig as a Twitter troll. He is miserably bad at it.
Ted Cruz had quite a weekend. First, he picked a Twitter fight with Big Bird and lost. Over the past year or so, the Tailgunner has taken on a second career as a Twitter troll, and he is the worst Twitter troll ever. This is not a matter of ideology. This is a matter of The Funny, and the Tailgunner could not find The Funny with a flashlight, two guard-dogs, and the ghost of George Carlin to show him the way. That said, this United States Senator decided that a public-health message from a large yellow puppet was something up with which he would not put. Discover a bunch of cool stuff on sale—plus all the details about the brand's Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotions. Apple's MacBook is a serious investment, and like all investments, you need to tend to it with the best. Every year, in the doldrums between Christmas and the new year, I need to look at The Godfather again. It is not just that it is one of my favorite films or that I rate it among the best ever made in America. The appeal is more primitive. For at that time of year when momentum and deadlines falter, I turn to The Godfather for reassurance and the unalloyed bliss of having fantasies restocked.

I want to be like Michael. The cream of the year's lineup—from WandaVision to The White Lotus—is beginning to rise to the top. Escape into the blissful holiday genre with a list of films that will last you until (at least) January. Ato Blankson-Wood, was recently nominated for a Tony award for Best Featured Actor in a Play for Slave Play, which garnered acclaim for challenging theater norms and highlighting race, gende,r and sexuality in an American historical context. Ato, a Maryland transplant, born of Ghanian parents, moved to New York to be at the center of it all, and has that "it" factor that special folks in this city tend to have. He walks the line of warm and open, but also seems like the kind of person you wouldn't want to cross. There's a quiet strength about him. Ato can be seen in Slave Play, returning to Broadway for a limited engagement beginning November 23. Ato sat down with Esquire to discuss moving to New York, his involvement and process working on Slave Play, what he wore to the Tony Awards, and how he fared during the pandemic. |
