I was thrilled to host the first NYC chapter meeting of Liberty in North Korea (LiNK) tonight in my home. It was wonderful to see so many people in the tri-state area, from so many different backgrounds, come together to support an important cause that’s near and dear to me and all of us there:…

I went shopping today with a panel of experts, otherwise known as three friends I roped into the activity, in an attempt to up my fashion game. This was one of my New Year’s resolutions, probably one of the hardest ones I have this year. Like popular culture, fashion is something I have never, ever…

I, for one, have never been scared to have an opinion. But I am finding that the more established and further along in my career I become, the less inclined I am to have an opinion publicly. What’s different about me now than before? I think that now I am actually more fragile to the…

I was at lunch today at the fantastic Kazu Nori in NoMad, and I looked over at one point and saw this. To be clear, I have zero right to deride anyone for taking photos of food. I literally take photos of everything that touches my plate. But there is something…extra…about using a DSLR to…

I was thrilled to see the news that SCOTUS made a baby step towards limiting civil forfeiture, a topic I have written about in the past, in a 9-0 decision.

It’s so easy. The episode ends, and the counter starts, and before you know it, you’re already watching the next episode. These shows run for seasons and seasons. In a couple days you could get through eight years of programming. I remember when commercial breaks afforded a moment to get up, use the bathroom, grab…

I absolutely love that I live in a city where I’ve been here for a year and a half and I’m still discovering new incredible food within walking distance. The winner from tonight was a Filipino restaurant (Ugly Kitchen) that was hands down, absolutely delicious. And I only found out about it tonight by accident.…

It is my birthday. So therefore it is time to check in and summarize what I learned since last year. The biggest thing I learned was to double down on my commitment to avoiding toxic people. The second thing I learned (or re-affirmed, because at this point the lessons are the same you just keep…

Every year, especially on my birthday, which happens to be tomorrow, I re-avow to myself to keep toxic people out of my life. It also happens that I was reading a passage today in The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene, whose chapter title is literally “INFECTION: AVOID THE UNHAPPY AND UNLUCKY.” From that…
