NICHOLAS GALITZINE used to hate his lips. "I thought they were very girlie," says the 29-year-old English actor, who has a pair that would be the envy of any Los Angeles dermatologist's waiting room. "People used to say I looked like a fish." He hated his under-eye circles, too, which always made people worry he wasn't sleeping enough. He blushes when I point out he's objectively handsome. "I have what I call a 'broken sponge," he explains. "I find it impossible to sponge up compliments. But I do like hearing them." Galitzine lifts his cappuccino and sips. "I think I've always tried to detach myself from a self-image because as soon as I landed in L.A., everyone's so beautiful here," he says. "I decided the only thing that would nourish me was putting all of my effort and energy into just trying to be a great artist and a great performer."
It’s two days after Valentine’s Day, and we’re at an outdoor café in Larchmont, the hollywood sign visible on the hill to the north. It’s slightly chilly, but he’s doing fine in a fitted Acne Studios black sweater. More than once, I catch other patrons stealing glances at the actor, whose big hazel eyes and lullaby of a British accent make him seem like a time-traveling Jane Austen suitor with an eyebrow slit. Twice, an eager dog hops onto his knee. (Both times, he bends down to pet it affectionately.)

Drowning in Slop - A thriving underground economy is clogging the internet with AI garbage-and it's only going to get worse.
SLOP started seeping into Neil Clarke's life in late 2022. Something strange was happening at Clarkesworld, the magazine. Clarke had founded in 2006 and built into a pillar of the world of speculative fiction. Submissions were increasing rapidly, but “there was something off about them,” he told me recently. He summarized a typical example: “Usually, it begins with the phrase ‘In the year 2250-something’ and then it goes on to say the Earth’s environment is in collapse and there are only three scientists who can save us. Then it describes them in great detail, each one with its own paragraph. And then—they’ve solved it! You know, it skips a major plot element, and the final scene is a celebration out of the ending of Star Wars.” Clarke said he had received “dozens of this story in various incarnations.”
The City Politic- The Other Eric Adams Scandal The NYPD shot a fare evader, a cop, and two bystanders. He defends it.
On Sunday, September 15, Derell Mickles hopped a turnstile, got asked to leave by cops, then entered the subway again ten minutes later through an emergency exit. This was at the Sutter Avenue L station, out by his mother's house, five stops from the end of the line. Police said they noticed he was holding a folded knife. They followed him up the stairs to the elevated train, asking him 38 times to drop the weapon.
