ukinnewyork Hans Holbein’s iconic portraits of Thomas Cromwell and Sir Thomas More at the newly reopened @frickcollection in NYC transport us back in time to Tudor-era England and the court of Henry VIII. Mark Rylance and Damian Lewis – stars of @masterpiecepbs’s drama “Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light” – stopped by the Frick to view the paintings in their stunningly restored setting.

Visit the Frick Collection at 1 East 70th Street and stream #WolfHallPBS on the @PBS app and PBS Masterpiece on Prime Video.

THE OFFICE 4.13 — "Dinner Party"

THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.

‘Richard, you do not think I betrayed the cardinal, do you?’ Riche blinks. ‘It never crossed my mind. You didn’t, did you?’ He thinks, Riche would not fault me, if I had betrayed him: what use is a fallen magnate? He says, ‘If not for me, the cardinal would have been killed in those days of his first disgrace, or if he had lived he would have lived a beggar. I put myself in hazard for him, my house and all I had. If I treated with Norfolk, it was only to speak for my master. I did not like Thomas Howard then and I do not now, and I was never his man and never will be, and if he came to me for a post as a pot boy I would not employ him.’

"He thinks, I tried by every means to save my master: I tried by exhortation, by prayer, and when that failed, I tried accountancy."

Please forgive me for ranting, but...I am so tired of AI. Just so tired. I don't want Microsoft Copilot, or Google Gemini, or Meta AI, or whatever other energy-sucking, water-wasting, mediocrity-spewing LLM is currently being thrust upon me. I just want to be left alone to create in peace.

A couple of years ago I started watching paper crafting tutorials on YouTube and I learned about altered books and became a little obsessed. I was trying to think of a theme for a new one and I’ve decided to start a Wolf Hall/Thomas Cromwell one. Because of course I am.

I’ll keep you posted on my progress.

One of the most deserved Emmy wins in history was Andre Braugher for his work as Det. Frank Pembleton on Homicide: Life on the Street. (That show alone is worth signing up for Peacock to watch.) He also won for his work on the mini-series Theif, and was nominated for his more recent, and also excellent work as Captain Holt on Brooklyn 99 (two iconic cops, two iconic shows, and that’s only skimming his career!). We lost a legend.

Since Homicide is an older show (and was not available on streaming for way too long), here’s a taste of his work on one of the best cop shows ever:
