The 2026 Oscars Review: A Tasteful and Overly Safe Show Sustained by Just Enough Suspense
In the best of all worlds, the Oscars are exciting: fun and suspenseful, moving and meaningful. At their most supreme, they leave you with the feeling that movies matter.

Read MoreNoma’s Food Is Art. Its Head Chef and Co-Owner Is a Problem
People love to scoff at this sort of high-concept culinary stuff. What’s served at Noma is “food” in the way that couture is clothing–a basic human need spun so far beyond the minimums of physical exigency that it’s almost nonsensical to hold it to similar standards.

Read MoreCommentary: My promise to you: AI didn’t write this column, and if it’s after my job, it’ll be over my dead body
For quite a while now, someone has been living inside my computer, writing emails for me. I don’t recall signing up for this artificial intelligence feature, which is like having a word valet. It’s in my phone, too, which offers three serviceable but impersonal responses I can fire off to someone who has just sent…
