WOKV: No cops at Pride in NYC until at least 2025, and gay officers are “disheartened.” (Any word on how they feel about police brutality?) Instead, more private and community-based security will be used. It's ... an experiment.

SNL: Fave part of SNL? Kate McKinnon as Liz Cheney saying she loved Trump “like a straight sister.” 

GR8ERDAYS: Dick Van Dyke is 95 and ready to return to the stage. Indefatigable. Also: Rick Shroder, Janet Jackson, Dolly Parton and Jean Smart.

VULTURE: Speaking of Jean Smart, everyone is raving about Hacks on HBO Max, and I ... agree. It's not the “dark” comedy that was pitched, so much as a battle of the Boomer vs. the millennial, with Smart's take on Roseanne Barr/Joan Rivers/Rita Rudner as the anchor. Only two episodes so far, but it's insightful and witty, plus au courant, touching on so-called cancel culture nonobnoxiously. (I am also loving Mare of Easttown.)

SOCIALITE LIFE: We used to avoid underarm hair pics of teen idols when I ran a teen mag. Girls hate it. (Boys love it, though.)

JOE.MY.GOD.: Dude accused of killing his wife is now accused of illegally using her vote in the presidential election of 2020. I'll give you one guess who she voted for.

An unforced error of epic proportions. (Image via mug shot)
