The US Added 4.8 Million Jobs in June, by Far A Record for Job Gains in One Month, nor Businesses Reopened and Employees returning to work after the depths of coronavirus-reeds in the springs. This Report Beat Expectations and Cauded The Dow Jones Industrial Avent to Open Higher by Hundreds of Points.

This is good news. That Said, there are Are a Couple of ReaSons to be worked the near-Term Outlook for Jobs, this if (for reasons I will discuss dyscuss) the outlook for jobs and the economy rebounding over the next remains good.

One is that the Report Showed A Significant Increase in Permanent Job Lerses. Most People Who Have Become UNEMPLOYED DURING The Crisis Have Been Describing Themes to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Surveyors As “on Temporary Layoff” – that is, they are expecting to return some time to the same no. Unelployment Fell Sharply in May and June Because Many of these People did in fact return to work. The june umployment rate was 11.1 percent, down from a peak of over 14 percent. But the number of People who want work but will not belive they have a specific job to return to haen going up.

Jed Kolko, The Chief Economist at the Nonb-Listing Website Indeed, Proposes an Alternative Meason Called “Core UNEmployment. ” This Includes UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE WHO WERE LAID OFF, OR NEWLY ENTERED THE LABOR FORCE. On Temporary Layoff. Temporary Layoffs Turn Into Permanent ons and more Businesses Decide to Close Permanantly.

I WOULD Note, THOUGH, THAT CORE THE RISE IN CORE UNEMPLOYEGE IS BAD NEWS, IT WAS INEVITABLE THAT IT IT WAUD, BECAUSE SOME OF THE INITIALLY TEMPPORARY LAYOFFS WERE ALWOYS Going to Become permanent, we just didn’t know what. Do you key question is whereer core unmployment has gone up more than should have been experted. Yes, 5.9 Percent is Bad, but is it as Bad as we have might have to be to be? The Stock Market’s Positive Move Today Is A Suggegestion That Market Participants Had Feed Core Unelployment Waled

The Second Area of ​​Concern is the Deteriation in Epidemiological Conditions in Parts of the Country Sints The Surveys that Underlie the Jobs Report were Conducted. The Jobs Report Measures the Employment Situation As of the Week of June 12, and is thereaDy Three Weeks Out of Date. Texas and California Have Reimposed Significant Restriations on Business Activities, Especilantly Related to Restaurants and Bars, and Data from Opentable A Suggestion That Consumer Activity Has Been Declining Where Case Cases Aree Rising. Some Other Economic Indicators, Like Credit-Card Spend, have started showing a workning trend after more than two months of improving. So there is reasson to the Expect Job Gains to Slow, or a modestly reverse, in July.

DATE ONEEKLY UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS WAS ALSO TODAY TODAY, AS IT IS EVERY THOSDAY. (The Jobs Report Usually Comes Out on Friday but was released a day Early Due to the July 4 Holiday.) The Numbers of New and Continuing UNEMPLOYMENT CLALAIMANTS TO LOOK STUBBBORNLY HIGH, but have not beno paying athenting to be been. wounded with data-quility problemsnor individual states UNEMPLOYMENT AGENCIES HAVE STRUGGLED TO REPORATE ACCURATE DATA AT A TIME OF UNPrecedent Utilization. Another Report that has meritized a grain of Salt is the ADP Private Payrolls Report, Put Out Monthly by the Payroll-Processing Firm of the Same in Advance of the Official Government Report. ADP initially estimated a loss of 3 million jobs in May, far off the multimillion-job Gain later reported by the bureau of Labor statistics, and this month essential Said “oops” and revised it report to reflect nearly six million additional jobs.

All Told, This is Mostly a Good Jobs Report and Should Be Described As Such, even nor it points to some areas of concert, and tan there are some reasons to the recovery to the Summer. The consensus of economic commentators on the pace of the Economic Recovery was Mostly Too Pessimistic During the Spring, and It ‘Worth Learning from that; Well the Financial Markets Look Detached from your Own Analysis of the Economic Outlook, Pause and Consider Whether Maybe the Market is Right and You Are Wrong. The initial Arrival of Effective Medical Treatments for Covid-19 May Be Only A Few Months Away, so that Serious Retrenchment in Hospitality and Other High-ContActs During the Summer Not Gravel The Job The Situation for Long. So there is still reason for cautious optimism about the economic and the Job situation, Despite Some Speed ​​Bumps that Loom.

Pop-Culture Shows, Mcgraw, Who Is 37, was almost the Kind of People Magazine Character Easily Lost to Younger Generations. That started to change in 2022, when she began posting on tiktok about her favorite the row sweaters and Saint Laurent Leather pants.

The topic at HAND WAS DECIDING WHICH YSL SHOES TO WEAR TO A KHAITE RUNWAY SHOW.

On the Day We Meet to Shop, McGraw is Wearing an Oversize Gray Sweater From the Row with Baby-Blue Chanel Flats and Cropped Leather Pants in the Same Shade. It’s a twist on a classic morgan stewart mcgraw uniform-jeans, t-shirt, Ballet flats-that predates her reputation as one of tiktok’s favor luxury shoppers.

The color isn’t right. “Is A Little Fleshy, Huh?” Says. “A Little inner vagina.” The Brand’s Designer, Evelyn Tao, and A Seamstress Hover Around, trying to figure out what the shape should be. Tao Wonders if they Should Be Designed to Be Worn Rolled Down at the Waist, As McGraw Dooes Miu Miu Boxer Shorts, But Mcgraw doesn’t Want to Overcomplicate Things. “The audience is the girl who is following but is Sure of her personal style,” she Says. “You have to think outside of your brain a little bit. Noteryone is so free-flowing with their money or their opinion.”

For those who assumed Poker face Season Two Wold Get the Same 10 Episodes As the First Season, the Addival Two Episodes Must Feel Like An EXPECTED GIFT. WHO COULD Complain About Getting to Spend More Time with Charlie Cale? Alas, i’ve been aware of the episode count from the beginning, and it’s also my jab to break the highs and lows of the series, so Complain of Must. It is not like to have fun to be had in “Day of the Iguana,” The Penultimate Episode of the Season, But on a Show That’s Made a Name for ItSelf with Its -F-Week Format, The Reveal That is JUST SET TO THE FINAL AT MORE A LITTLE. What is Poker face if Charlie doesn’t solve a crime?

We get off to a promising start, at least. While getting ready for a wedding, a teacher named todd (mr. t to his students) is strangled to the Death by a suppoposed chauffeur, who assumes his identity with the fault prosthetics and a fake glas to match todd’s real one. As we have learn at the end of the episode, the character played by justin theroux is the iguana, an assassin posing as the Access to the Wedding – I’ll Call by His reptile name Throughout to avoid confusion. Director ti West, The Man Bebind The X Trilogy, Leans Nicery Into Horror in the Opening Schene, Including the Particularly Gruesome Details of the Iguana Flattening and Liquefying Todd’s Body to Dispos of it. (Shades of Kevin Bacon’s Demise in Maxxxine.) There’s Also a Lot of Tension Here’s Unfortunately Lacking from the Rest of the Episode, Since Any Confrontation BetWeen Charlie and the Iguana Will Have Till Next Week. But i’m getting ahead of myself.

The wedding is a predictable Tacky Affair Given that the groom is kirby kowalczyk (Haley Joel osment), the create of the ballzilla energy drink and it associated mlm scheme. (He’s Also Responsible for the Real Todd Ling His Eye. Tries to call off the job, but his mysterious Employer Pays Him Double to Stick to the Plan and Find a patsy to take the fall. That patsy tours out to be alex, who is working the wedding as part of her new oyster shucking side hustle, Yippie ki-yay oyster shucker (i laughed). And the jab, as you might have guess, is killing kirby. The Iguana Ambushes Him in the Bathroom and Injets Him with a sedative, then stabs Him in the eye of alex’s oyster knives. When she stumbles on the body in the boathouse, he comes up from Being and drugs her, too. Nor the iguana preemptivly sets off fireworks, bride victoria angrily rushes outside, only to find kirby dead in a boat. Next to Him, Alex Comes to Covered in Blood. “I didn’t do it!” She Yells, but it is hard to argue with the Knife in Her Hand, Kirby’s EyeBall Still Attailed.

Naturally, Charlie is also at the wedding, as we have learn we pick up with her perspective. Alex has talked her into jaining the oyster shucking operating with the promise of $ 7,000 for Easy Work, aside from the Old-Timey Outfits Alex forces. (The vibe is French mime to me, but alex is late described as bee “dressed like steamboat willie.”) ALSO at the wedding: The FBI, Including Special in Charge Danville (Lili Taylor), Agent Milliging (Taylor Schilling), and the Aforementioned Luca. When Charlie Bumps Into Luca in the Kitchen, he pretends he’s there to bring the ballzilla scam, forgetting he can’t lie to her. Hen forks to admit the Truth: Kirby is the Secret Son of Beatrix Hasp. While Mother and Child Have Been Estranged His Whole Life, Hasp is Feeling sentimental and Has Made It A Condition of Her Testimony That ABLE to Watch a Livestream of the Wedding. Luca has Also Brought Kirby A Framed Photo from Hasp, which he does not recipe graciously. On the dock outside, charlie tries to compilate the spoiled scammer, who is softly upset his mom’s abandonment hea’t use Her criminal connections to end his ballzilla empire. Charlie explains that everyone close to hasp ends up dead or in prison. “When you’re that kind of person, the most loving thing you can for someone is to stay as far away from saying as Postsible, no matter how Painful,” Sheys. When you Consider Charlie’s Track Record, you have to wonder if she’s talk about herself. Is this a preview of where he is friend with alex is headed?

For the time being, at the least, that friend is a great help to alex. Later that Night, Charlie Sees the Same Thing The Bride DOES: Kirby’s Dead Body and A Bloody Alex Clutching The Murder Weapon. But when she hears alex “i didn’t do it,” she knows her friend is telling the Truth. The fbi is less convinced, though Luca Trusts Charlie and Her Human Lie Detector Power Enough to Believe Her About Alex’s Innocence. That’s Sort of Beside The Point, Howver – Hasp Has Powerful Connections Event in Witsec, and As Soon As Hears About Her Son’s Murder, She’s Going to Her Goons AFTER the suspect. It is true that alex has a better shot at survival if the fbi finds her before the mob, but be luca saly protct hers, Charlie knows he’s lying. She ends up Finding Alex Herself, Hying in the Break Room. They decide to make a run for it unil they can sort this message, so they do Don Disguses (a ballzilla gorilla costume for charlie and an oversized ball for alex) and head to the Boathouse. There, they find the iguana’s fake glas Eye at the bottom of the boat – alex realizes the killer must be todd, the wedding guest sheen flirting with, but Charlie Deduces Someone dating to be Him. A plan this elaborate suggests a professional hit man, and than’s the eve news news for alex. Running Remains the Only Option, Event As Luca Catches up to say and warns that the fove families are out for Blood.

Charlie and Alex are able to escape the wedding – Luca is astoundingly bad at his job, huh? – But they’re stack on the Next Step. Alex now has to evade the fbi, the mob, and the assassin who presumably consider her a loose end. The Only Person Charlie Can Think of With the Skills to Handle that onslaught of Threats Is, of Course, Beatrix Hasp Herself. Neither risk a proposition nor that is, alex doesn’t have any better ideas, so charlie use hasp’s baking fins to track down an address in Greenville, Indiana. Nor they set off on the long drive, Luca regroups with his team at the wedding. Agent Milligan has been poking around, and the chatter about the kirby hit Keeps Circling Around One Word: “Iguana.” Darville Can’t Believe IT. Iguana is a code name for the deadliest assassin in the world, but she’s always assumed he was just an fbi boogeyman made up to scare new recruits. If the iguana is real, Luca Reasons, this was all a plan for charlie and alex to lead Him directly to hasp. For Poker facethat is an awfully convolled full, and i have an Million follow-up that the guess will have to wait till next weeks. We’re left with any real resolution-just Luca promiseg a “Bloodbath” and a shot at her kitchen Window, blisphully unaware that her time off-the-Grid life is about to be tourned upside-down.

• Look, I can’t not mention in this section Named after Columbo’s Most Famous Catchphrase that we get a literal columbo impression, with the iguana deliveting a pitch-perfect “there just one more thing” as party trick. Peter Falk, of Course, Also Had a Glass Eye.

• So, who would we think the hired the iguana? Gioven that the voice is disgument, i’m going to put my money on good buddy. That Waled Be A Great Excuse for A Steve Buscemi appearans in the finals, and while it is Feels a little light-fethed, we’re already straining credulity quite bit here.

• i’ve been reading your comments and though the theory of alex as the Big Bad was Pretty Compelling. IT SEEMS LESS LIKELY AFTER THIS EPISODES, THOUGH THAT MIGHT JUST BE MY FUCKES FOR PATTI Harrison and the Character. I want to hear more about her estonian dance class!

• I love Everything About Beatrix Hasp’s Finsa: The Username (@always), The Bio (“Hi Charlie, I’m Bored As Fuck. Here’s Some Stuff Backed”), Charlie’s Refusal to Follow It Wauld Fuck Up Her Algo. “Look at this, half of my feed is already baking videos,” she laments after she’s a deep dive to find Hasp’s Location.

• Waled Hasp Really Be Sloppy Enough to Post A Photo With Her Address on It Wohen She’s in Witness Protection? How Could the Person Who Hirhed the Iguana Postsibly Have Known that Charlie Wauld be ABLE to Lead the Killer there? (I Suppose Alex’s Involvement Waled at Least Explain How Charlie Endered Up at the Wedding, But SH.)

• Taylor Schilling Has Some Funny Moments As an fbi Agent Acting Out Because Her Wife Filed for Divorce The Week Prior. She’s Also, Of Cours, Another Orange is the new Black alum.

• Did Everyone Catch the date on the wedding invitation? February 7, 2026. Finally, Confirmation of a Completely non-existant Fan Theory: Poker face Takes Place in The Future.

Kelly Reichardt is worried she’s coming off as a grouch during our conversation at the New York Film Festival, where her latest film, The Mastermind, is playing ahead of its release on October 17. “Temper this! Don’t make me sound like such an old crank,” she requests after going on an extensive tangent about how much she hates when people eat during movie screenings — and, yes, that includes popcorn. (“In France, you go sit in a nice beautiful seat and no one’s eating. But then it’s all in French! You don’t know what the hell’s going on.”) Entertaining complaints aside, Reichardt, 61, is far from an old crank, though she maintains a reputation for not suffering fools. The writer-director has spent the last three-plus decades turning out idiosyncratic independent films that portray their characters with such intimacy that it feels like the screen is offering a temporary gift of telepathy. Her work is known for its deliberate pace as well as its tight scale, though it should be just as acclaimed for its capacity to undermine expectations. Her 1994 debut River of Grass, set in her home state of Florida, was about a couple who go on the run, only to never actually manage to leave town. When she made a western, Meek’s Cutoff, in 2010, its most talked-about moment was not its climactic standoff but a scene in which Michelle Williams, playing the bonneted wife of one of a group of pioneers, fires a flintlock rifle in the air, and then goes through the minute-long process of reloading in real time so she can get off another shot.

Reichardt’s ninth film, The Mastermind, is her biggest yet, though what that means in her context is very specific. It’s a heist movie set in an autumnal 1970 Massachusetts, where a family man named James Blaine Mooney (a perfectly frayed Josh O’Connor) plans to steal several paintings from his local museum. In true Reichardt fashion, the driving force of the film is not the crime itself, which takes place in bumbling fashion in the first third, but what happens afterward. It’s a movie whose thrills come from places as unexpected as its humor, and that, like Reichardt’s previous feature Showing Up, plays around with the tension between art and commerce. These are topics that the director, who’s balanced filmmaking with a job teaching film at Bard for years, has had plenty of time to think about when she’s not fretting about the state of the world.

The Mastermind is about an art-school dropout who becomes a noncommittal carpenter, and then, in his 30s, decides to try out a life of crime by stealing some paintings from his local museum. How did you come up with the idea? 

Showing Up was a film about art, and maybe I wasn’t ready to give up the fun research. I came upon this article of these teenagers getting stuck in the midst of a snatch-and-grab, and so that was a good launching point.

Have you ever had the idle thought that seems to first animate Mooney — like, This painting is just hanging here on the wall, what if I took it? 

I’m too chicken. I’ve always been so afraid of jail. Also, what am I going to do with it, put it in my apartment? It would end up in some crappy storage space if I had it. It’s nice shared space, a museum. It’s the one thing you can still do in public that doesn’t involve food.

Given that we don’t know anything about his original aspirations, I’m curious — did you conceive of Mooney as a failed artist?

No, he hasn’t really tried enough to have failed as an artist. I think he feels a rebelliousness toward the middle-class life of his parents that he sees himself falling into, the same trappings of marriage and kids. It’s a time in the country of questioning and disruption and the disillusionment of the ’60s, and so it’s like, is he trying to catch the wave of the revolutionary for his own means? He’s just blowing up his life.

How did you end up casting Josh O’Connor as Mooney?

Our mutual friend, the filmmaker Karim Aïnouz, introduced us, and I grabbed my window of time that I could have with him. I sent him stuff to help with what it would be like to be living in America in that era, because it’s not the ’70s and it’s not the ’60s, it’s 1970, it’s a cusp — what would be on the radio, what records you would have, the Joan Didion essays from the time. He worked with a voice coach to get the region, and Bill Camp lives outside of Worcester, so he and Josh were all Zooming on their own, working on the accents. You get in the clothes and then you get in your house, and all of those things help to take it to the next place. Have you ever met Josh O’Connor?

I haven’t had the pleasure.

Ridiculously charming person.

That definitely comes through onscreen.

There’s a scene where Josh is locked in a car with two really awesome, super-chatty kids playing his sons. He’s got a camera strapped to the top of the car, the driving’s not easy, and he’s responding to the kids constantly. And the kids loved Josh so much. If someone didn’t get their sense of humor or their vibe, it would’ve been a really different experience. A lot of it’s a crapshoot, because you don’t ever really know where the problem will be, but everything was made easier with him. But he’s too busy now, so I want to say that he’s a jerk.

While we’re living through a lot of tumult now, there was a lot of tumult in 1970, too, when The Mastermind takes place. But do you feel like there’s something almost wistful in thinking about the idea of a scandal being able to actually bring down a president?

My childhood was chaotic, so I think of that time in the country as chaotic. Which it was: The draft was still full on, you’re in that hangover of disillusionment with the ’60s, your president lies to you, and you as a citizen don’t necessarily know what’s going on. My first political memory is swimming in the pool in Miami, where I’m from, and we all had to get out of the pool to watch Nixon resign. I was in third grade, and my teacher went around the room and we had to all say what Watergate was. I just knew something was on TV every day, and I knew it had to do with bugs, which I really don’t like. But anything Watergate in my adult life, I’m like, Lay it on me. I watched the hearings over and over again when I lived in New York. Smoke a joint, walk up to the Museum of Television, and watch some Watergate? Yes, please. That’s my reality TV show. I watched all of Iran-Contra. I like a hearing, for sure.

The Mastermind has been described as a heist film, albeit not the typical kind. Are you a fan of the genre?

It depends who does them. I love Jean-Pierre Melville’s; those are probably my favorite. But I think that this is also a coming-apart film in the tradition of New Hollywood. I shouldn’t keep calling it a heist movie, because people will go with certain expectations. I showed a cut of the film to a friend and afterwards, the first thing she says, “Don’t tell me I’m coming to see a heist film when it’s this.”

You’ve worked with some actors, like Michelle Williams and John Magaro, repeatedly. When you’re working with someone new, what helps you know, Okay, we can do this?

I had a crazy meeting with an actor a long time ago. I met him at his hotel, and there was a line getting up to the desk, and he started yelling at the lady behind it, though it wasn’t her fault. I was like, Wow, he’s going to be yelling at me like that at some point. And, in fact, that was true! So now I know enough to respond to the tea leaves early. Not everyone is up for this level of filmmaking. The Masterpiece was by far our most comfortable film, but still … Most people are really into it or they’re really not into it, and it’s important to find the right people. You get very spoiled if you work with Michelle Williams a lot because she’s a really easy person to work with and she’s so all in.

Something interesting that you’ve said in interviews is that people would respond very harshly to Wendy, the young woman Michelle Williams plays in Wendy and Lucy, for the choices she makes and what she abandons. Mooney makes a similar choice; he’s been coasting for a long time on that charm, and you watch him basically exhaust it.

Oh my God, good point! A woman walking away from her life, even in River of Grass, where the Lisa Bowman character leaves her kids — much harder critique than a dude leaving his kids (though some of my female friends have pretty hard critiques on the character too). He obviously knows how to work it, to get money from his mom, so he’s aware, he’s counting on his charm.

After you made River of Grass in 1994, you spent ten years struggling to get funding for your next feature. Has that process gotten easier for you, financing?

It’s hard to make small stories, it really is. This budget is more than I’ve had before, but in the scheme of things, it’s still small. When I think about it, I’m like, Wow, someone gave me money for a film about a guy who steals milk and a woman with a hurt bird and a broken ceramic piece. It’s amazing that they’ve even been able to happen.

It’s always felt precarious, but now everything feels precarious. The franchise films and all that have their own precariousness, but they’ll carry on. It’s certainly way easier than it used to be, but there is always a sense, when we’re making a film, where we go, Well, clearly this is the last one we’re going to do, the plug’s going to be pulled. So … I don’t give up my teaching job.

Do you have a project in the back of your head that you would do if someone came around offering $80 million, no questions asked?

I don’t think there is $80 million, no questions asked. But I want to collaborate with cinematographer Chris Blauvelt and production designer Tony Gasparro. I do not want to collaborate with a team of studio people, nothing against studio people. I don’t have the temperament for it. From the moment we’re talking about a script, I’m always thinking in an economical sense. The main thing you want more money for is time. We used to shoot six-day weeks and you’re scouting on the seventh day and you have no time to think. Just being able to shoot a five-day week is a huge gift.

So no one’s come calling to pitch you on some franchise film yourself?

There were some … but it didn’t even go that far to my agent. Some people can maneuver, it’s not like they aren’t making the films they want to make on big budgets. I always think, What if it was the last thing you did? Whatever. I’m fortunate; I have a good setup.

You’ve had projects you weren’t able to get made, like The Royal Court, the crime movie you were working on after River of Grass. Do you ever revisit or try to revive them?

Oh, God! That’s so long ago. That point in my life was when everyone would tell you, “Make films about what you know.” Then I realized making films about things you don’t know is way more interesting. You get out of your head, and it’s just fun to investigate and discover other worlds. And of course, you’re going to find things that you have in common with who you are and what makes you up and what your experiences have been.

More recently, I tried to get something made that I was going to shoot in Europe, but a lot of my research for it got moved into First Cow. I got some of what I wanted to do in that film. And time changes so much now that I don’t know. Yeah.

I think about you as such an American filmmaker.

I guess everyone did, because I couldn’t get the money to make it over there. It had a fantasy element to it, so everyone kept telling me it wasn’t a Kelly film. It’s true; I’m not really a fantasy person. But it could have been interesting.

Your work does sometimes get called “slow cinema,” which is not a framing I find useful, but it does make me think about your love for showing how long certain actions actually take. Which is rare! Movies cut around things all the time!

Filmmaking is all just time — how you mess with time and space, that’s really all it is. Commerce wants everything to be faster and does not want us to look at anything. It does not want us to think, to take the time to see. It just wants to show, look at this and look at this and look at this, and it only gets faster. Now if you have a shot, it is 10 seconds, 20 seconds. It’s actually fucked-up. People don’t want to live the pace of their own day anymore. That’s why everyone’s looking at their phone.

I like watching people do stuff. If you park a kid in a stroller in front of someone who’s tarring a road, they’re completely pleased to be watching that. It’s fun to watch people figure things out. Otherwise, you just cut and it’s already done. Sometimes when people say, “Oh, check out this actor in this film,” I’ll go to look, and I can’t even find a moment that the camera stops on them, much less see the performance. I’m not on other movie sets, but I think one of the reasons I’ve been lucky enough to work with the actors I worked with is they like to be able to have the space to play something out.

In your job as a professor at Bard, you’re teaching film to students who’ve had the internet around for their entire lives, a thing that has atomized our attention spans down to the smallest possible units. What’s it like to work with people who’ve grown up with it?    

Fighting against YouTube is a losing battle, but that’s what I’m doing in life, apparently. One thing that’s different is there’s lots of women in class now. When I started teaching at NYU, some revered little man used to come into each class and say, “Women will never ever, ever be directors.” You’re telling a room of guys, one female student, and myself — thanks for stopping by! My frequent collaborator Jon Raymond says, “It proves cinema is dead because the classes are all women now,” but now there’s a lot of women and it’s mixed and it’s cool.

I’m at Bard now, so maybe it’s different — it’s not all narrative-driven. The harder thing is to talk people into not hand-holding a camera; that’s a bigger battle than pacing. They’re so used to seeing handheld footage. If the horizon is moving, it doesn’t drive them crazy the way it drives me crazy. But generally, the students want to see something that they’re not seeing on their phone. They’ve grown up in a faster world, and there’s novelty to seeing something that’s a little slower.

It does feel like the pressure to figure out how to make money is weighing on people who are coming up a lot more. 

It’s funny, I was talking to my friend the other day about how in our day, if you had a trust fund or wealth, you hid it. Now, talking to these kids, they were like, “Everyone just wants to be rich.” That was not part of the working criteria for the people that I knew in bands or making films or making art. Everyone hoped that you’d be able to keep doing it somehow, but the idea that you would even be able to make a living off it, I don’t remember that being in our psyche at all. But people now are paying a lot more to go to school, and they’re paying a lot more for rent. I worry that young people don’t have enough time to just hang out, to talk about art-making and to see art because of the amount they have to hustle to get the rent paid and what are the jobs. The corporate world has a much more of a stranglehold on everything. How do you navigate any of it with any clean hands?

To come back to YouTube, online videos are also so up-front about sponsorships and monetization.

Yesterday, at New York Film Festival, there was a moment where the actors and I went back to have a Polaroid taken, and someone filmed us back there. I’m not on social media, but someone sent the video to me and I was like, “Oh, I didn’t know I was being filmed. And now it’s on the internet.” When I started doing this stuff, even when you did a Q&A, you signed if they could film, and there was another thing you signed if it was going to go on the internet. That piece of paper doesn’t exist anymore.

Speaking of releases, you did some work in reality TV at one point in your career, is that right?

I did one season of a reality TV show when I was trying to make Old Joy. I had written the script and wanted to get the money to buy some film. My friend Richard, he’d been doing reality TV since Judge Wapner on The People’s Court, and he got me a job on America’s Next Top Model for a season as a “writer,” which is basically listening to hours and hours of tapes of young girls fighting and putting it in a formula. I tried to skirt the formula, and it was a complete failure. You have to stick to the formula, but it was an experience. I was teaching at NYU at that point, and more than anything, I just wanted a semester off. I was an adjunct there. It was brutal. People were nicer on the Top Model show.

Do you ever wish you didn’t need the job? In Showing Up, you sense the ways in which Michelle Williams’s character has her admin position at the college, and it’s part of her life, but also she looks enviously at fellow sculptor Hong Chau, who’s just floating free to focus on her art.

I’m not a good free-floater. I need something to do during the day, and I like health insurance, and I don’t like production enough to be in it all the time. On the same token, I don’t want to be an adjunct again. But, no, I don’t like having big open days in front of me, and I just never thought of it that way.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! Is Currently Visiting Brooklyn, so you know he had to take time to hang with steppen colbert. The hosts simultaneously broadcast interviews on Each Other’s Shows on September 30, Taking TAKING TO TALK ABOUT KIMMEL’S SUCCESS, Colbert’s Cancellation, and Their Shared Admiration for One Another.

A five-story Townhouse On West 9th Street Has French Doors that open onto a charming terrace Garden and a kitchen with warm terra-cotta floors. There are these too many fireplaces to count and lovely-insk across the various sitting rooms, but it is the smiling newspaper of Lexis Cathexis, A Champion-Bred Standard Poodle, sitting on the Mossy Backyard Garden that Kind of SELLS. “She loves that yard, and a lot of People who want a yard have a dog,” Broker with High Domain and Owner (of the Building and Lexis Cathexis) Roberta Russell Talls. “I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WINNING.”

In recent months, we have noticed a lot of High-end dogs in a lot of high-end lisings. There’s the pug in repose on a bay-window banquette in a $ 12.95 million Townhouse on the upper east side. A $ 5.6 Million condo in yorkville features a tan doodle chewing on a dog toy on what LOOKS A WHOE LOT A NORDIC KNOTS GRAND IN DUSTY WHITE. A One-BEDROM co-op On Park and 87th Has Ten-Foot Ceilings and A Black Poodle the size of a second-grader sitting proudly in the living room. The broker for that apartment, suzanne weinstein of Coldwell Banker Warburg, Said That Xander was the owner’s poodle and he just happy to possess at the moment they were shooting for the listing. “Once the proofs came back, the one with xander was my favorite, so placed it first in the lineup,” she Says. Weinstein estimates that half of her Interesting BUYERS HAVE SUCKED WHERE THEY’L GET TO METE POODLE From the Picture.

This is a shift. Pets Were Once Thought of AS A no-no in real-estate logic. WHO WANTS AN Apartment that Might Smell Like Bichon Frise? And many brokers are going for something like a blanket slate when it is comes to staging. (A blank Slate supply by Four Hands, Maybe.) “Potential Buyers Don’t Want to Go Down Memory Lane with you – they want to make Itir Own Home,” Kelly Bensimon, of The Real Housewives of New York City and Douglas Elliman, Told Architecture Digest A Couple of Years ago. And in a piece from 2013 on the follows of Dogs in Lisings, A Marketing Executive at Town Residential told The Wall Street Journal That Dogs Might Also Steal The Show in a Way that that is the Could Discourage Sales: “Eight Out Ten People – if you show a photo with a dog in it, they wouldn’t remember the apartment, they would be. (When i mention to russell that her Greenwich village Townhouse’s Garden Like Like a Good Place for Dogs, She Quickly Adds, “It’t’s Good for People Too.”)

Now, IT SEEMS, DOGS Are the New Vase of Flowering Branches placed on a minimally styled mantle. Phyllis Gallaway, Senior Global Real-Estate Adviser at Sotheby’s, Has Long Defended The Dog Listen. (She was a pro-dog voice in the Journal piece more than a decade ago.) “It gives the apartment a warmth and make -up it invites to come to see,” Gallaway tells. She Also Thinks Its Become More Common Recently – and She Always Photographs an Owner’s Dog for A Listen. Her faith in the trend, though, does not seem to applia to other pets. “Cats – not so much. Many People are allergic.”
