Stewart Mocks Ted Cruz Over Reaction to Biden’s Israel Ultimatum
Comedy CentralJon Stewart on Thursday cringed at Ted Cruz’ reaction to President Biden’s announcement this week that he would limit weapons shipments to Israel if its military were to cross the “red line” of invading Rafah, a densely populated city in southern Gaza with an estimated 80,000 Palestinian refugees.Biden’s decision led to intense backlash from the Republican Texas congressman, who declared in a Thursday press conference that, “Joe Biden has been the greatest friend to Hamas, and Hezbollah, that there is on planet Earth.”Stewart couldn’t help but mock Cruz, who shared an awkward high-five with Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall. “Nothing says gravitas, like…” Stewart said, while breaking into a dorky impression of Cruz and ending it with a declaration: “You guys are fucking children.”Read more at The Daily Beast.

On ‘A Gentleman in Moscow,’ Ewan McGregor Looks for the Exit
Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/Paramount+ With ShowtimeThe penultimate episode of A Gentleman in Moscow follows a series of events that come after Stalin’s death. It is now 1953, and Russia is on the verge of a new beginning. No one at the Metropol Hotel is celebrating, but at the same time, it doesn’t really feel like anyone is really mourning his death, either.That is, except for the Bishop (John Heffernan), who makes the staff put on some weird funeral party for the late Soviet Union leader. Alexander (Ewan McGregor) attends as a waiter, but he can’t get his mind off Sofia (Beau Gadsdon), who is in the middle of a big piano competition. It must be hard, raising a child who goes out into the real world while you stay in the same hotel for your entire life. Poor Alex.Luckily, it’s all smiles and good news when Sofia and Anna (Mary Elizabeth Winstead)—who has officially become Sofia’s stand-in mother—return from the competition. Sofia won! Not only that: Because she won, she now gets to join the conservatory’s tour of Europe, meaning she’ll get to go play in Paris, Prague, and Minsk. To celebrate, Sofia slides onto the piano bench at the Metropol and plunks out some Beethoven, later turning the tunes into swing-versions of his concertos. Stalin banned the blues, but hey—Stalin’s dead! Who cares?Read more at The Daily Beast.

Colson Whitehead Pulls Out as UMass Commencement Speaker
Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for WSJ. Magazine Innovators AwardsThe two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author Colson Whitehead said Thursday he wouldn’t give a planned commencement speech at the University of Massachusetts Amherst later this month after school leadership’s decision to call the police to clear out an encampment of student protesters. “I was looking forward to speaking next week at UMass Amherst. But calling the cops on peaceful protesters is a shameful act,” Whitehead said in a statement on the social network Bluesky. “I have to withdraw as your commencement speaker. I give all my best wishes and congratulations to the class of ’24 and pray for the safety of the Palestinian people, the return of the hostages, and an end to this terrible war.” A spokesperson for the university, Ed Blaguszewski, said in a statement that they respected Whitehead’s decision. “The ceremony will proceed without a commencement speaker this year,” he said.
