A ‘Loving’ solution in Va.?

ARLINGTON More than a year ago, in the deadly aftermath of the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, the chairwoman of the Arlington County school board at the time issued a call to action.

“It’s time to talk about the names of our schools and what they mean and why they matter,” Barbara Kanninen said at an August 2017 meeting. “It is time to talk about the values these names reflect.”

That began a months-long examination of the names given to schools in the Northern Virginia system, culminating in a June school board decision to rename Washington-Lee High School.

The name, which evokes George Washington and Robert E. Lee, the Confederate general, was discordant with the diverse county’s values, the board reasoned.

This evening, the school board is expected to choose a new name for the school.

But the process has spawned impassioned responses, including a lawsuit and backlash from

Washington-Loving has been suggested as the new name for Washington-Lee High in Arlington.

alumni association members.

Opponents of renaming Washington-Lee High argue the effort contradicts the wishes of many community members, ignores Lee’s postwar legacy and was rushed by overzealous school board members.

Supporters of the name change say enshrining Lee’s name on the school serves as a painful reminder of slavery and the laws that segregated and excluded African-Americans from public life.

“Having a Confederate leader, someone who fought for slavery, I don’t think that at all should be on the name of a school.”

AMANDA VOISARD (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Washington-Lee H.S. is about to get a new, less-divisive moniker

said Lee’s legacy as a Confederate leader runs counter to the message students want the North Arlington school to send.

“A school’s name should give insight and represent the students,” she said. “Having a Confederate leader, someone who fought for slavery, I don’t think that at all should be on the name of a school.”

Slater belonged to a committee of students, parents and alumni that spent months gathering community input and considering names. The group introduced its recommendation to the school board in late December: Washington-Loving High School, an homage to Mildred and Richard Loving, the couple who successfully challenged Virginia’s ban on interracial marriage before the Supreme Court.

Washington-Loving better represents the school’s spirit of honesty, integrity and inclusiveness, said John Holt, a 12th-grader.

The school board’s expected action would make WashingtonLee the latest Virginia school honoring a Confederate leader to be renamed. This school year, J.E.B. Stuart High School in Fairfax County became Justice High.

Charities feel closure’s pinch

VIRGINIA

Senate panel approves Equal Rights Amendment

REGION The people who have been calling the Washington region’s largest food bank this month sound different than before. More timid.

More unsure. Less familiar with how the food bank system works.

For many, officials said, asking for help to feed their families may be an entirely new experience.

Since a partial government shutdown began last month, shuttering nine federal departments and multiple agencies, the Capital Area Food Bank’s Hunger Lifeline has received an influx of inquiries from furloughed and unpaid government workers, contractors and others who aren’t sure when they’ll see another paycheck.

The shutdown was into its 19th day Wednesday, making it the second-longest in history. Last week, President Trump said it could persist for “months or even years” if a stalemate with congressional Democrats continued.

Nonprofit organizations that help struggling families said leaving 800,000 federal workers and countless contractors without paychecks during January, and possibly into February, coincides with the worst two months for donations.

Some lawmakers have pledged their salaries to charities, while individuals have created hundreds of online fundraisers through websites like GoFundMe and Facebook. But nonprofit leaders

CALLA KESSLER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Shutdown strains many D.C. nonprofits while donations slow

Shelves at the Crowder Owens Food Pantry in D.C. sit mostly empty Wednesday as the federal shutdown continues.

worry it might not be enough.

“At this stage, we’re not only saying there’s a lot more meals we’ll need to provide, but also a lot more dollars we’ll need to acquire to attempt to do that,” said Radha Muthiah, chief executive officer of the Capital Area Food Bank. “What we’re seeing now is an increase — people who are calling in, saying ‘I’ve just been furloughed or I have a friend who has. Where should they go?’ ” The Capital Area Food Bank, which serves about 700,000 people in the Washington region each year, distributes about 3 million meals in a typical January. This month, the nonprofit is expecting a 10 to 20 percent increase — or a difference of 300,000 to

600,000 meals, which could cost up to $300,000.

Though the organization typically builds its annual budget with a cushion for disasters, Muthiah said, the longer the shutdown lasts, the more dire people’s circumstances are likely to become.

The White House announced this week that food stamps for 38 million low-income Americans would be provided through February, but no such guarantee exists for March, should the shutdown continue. In the Washington area, about 334,000 people receive assistance from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the current iteration of food stamps also known as SNAP.

“If they don’t receive those benefits, in our area, we’re talking about an additional 12 million meals to make up for SNAP,” Muthiah said. “That’s $5 million just for that month to secure the food that’s needed to meet those food needs.”

She’s hoping it doesn’t come to that.

“We’re now bracing for individuals who are not a part of this network,” Muthiah said.

“We always have a little bit that we budget into our annual plans for extenuating circumstances and emergencies. What’s becoming more clear is we need to think of shutdowns as a larger bucket of possible emergencies.”

MARYLAND Leading Maryland lawmakers expressed strong support for making prescription drugs more affordable, starting a major push to improve education and paving the way for potentially legalizing recreational marijuana — perhaps in a referendum next year — as the Maryland General Assembly began a new term Wednesday.

— the most ever in Maryland.

While Democrats held a strong 99-42 majority in the House and a 32-15 advantage in the Senate, Gov. Larry Hogan greeted them as the first GOP governor to

win a second term in Maryland since 1954.

Health care is at the top of a list of issues lawmakers will be grappling with this year.

House Speaker Michael Busch,

a Democrat, said lawmakers will pass a bill to create a state panel to review prescription drug costs. Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, a Democrat, agreed something must be done to lower costs.

Busch also said lawmakers will study how to best prepare to implement recreational marijuana, if Maryland voters decide to legalize it in a ballot question as soon as next year.

“Whether you support it or whether you don’t support it personally, I think that’s the future,” the speaker said. “I think you’re going to see the country go to legalizing recreational marijuana and, you know, it’ll be much like overturning prohibition.”

President Trump, center, tours Paradise, Calif., with then-Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom, far left, in November.

Trump threatens to deny FEMA funds to California President again faults forest management for the deadly fires SACRAMENTO, CALIF. President Trump threatened Wednesday to withhold money to help California cope with wildfires, a day after new Gov. Gavin Newsom asked him to double the federal investment in forest management.

Trump again suggested poor forest management is to blame for California’s deadly wildfires and said he’s ordered the Federal Emergency Management Agency to stop giving the state money “unless they get their act together.”

F i re scient i sts s ay cl i mate change, not poor forest

management, is the driving contributor to California’s increasingly destructive wildfires, many of which have not been in forests.

FEMA could not immediately comment because of the government shutdown. Trump has previously threatened to withhold wildfire payments.

Hours after Trump’s tweet, the state’s emergency operations agency said FEMA is extending its deadline for victims of deadly November wildfires to seek assistance.

Several Republican lawmakers who represent the town of Paradise, which was leveled by a fire in November that killed 86 people, said Trump’s tweet was not helpful.

LaMalfa said.

Newsom, a Democrat, and Govs. Jay Inslee and Kate Brown of Washington and Oregon, respectively, sent a letter to the president Tuesday asking him to double federal funding for forest management. California has pledged $1 billion over the next five years to ramp up its efforts.

Newsom said Tuesday he’ll add $105 million in his upcoming budget for wildfire-related spending.

The federal government manages more than half of California’s 33 million acres of forest, and the letter noted the U.S. Forest Service’s budget has steadily decreased since 2016. State and local governments own 3 percent of forests, the University of California said. KATHLEEN RONAYNE (AP)

‘A total waste of time’

President Trump said Republicans were unified in demanding wall funding, although two GOP senators have urged him to reopen the government.

SAUL LOEB (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

POLITICS Talks between President Trump and congressional Democrats aimed at ending the partial government shutdown collapsed in acrimony and disarray Wednesday, with the president walking out of the White House meeting and calling it “a total waste of time” after Democrats rejected his demand for border wall funding.

Furious Democrats accused Trump of slamming his hand on the table before he exited, and they said he ignored their pleas to reopen the federal government as they continue to negotiate over his border wall demands. With the shutdown nearing the three-week mark, some 800,000 workers are about to miss their first paycheck.

“He thinks maybe they could just ask their father for more money. But they can’t,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, DCalif., an implicit dig at Trump’s wealthy upbringing.

“Well, unfortunately, the president just got up and walked out,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. “He asked Speaker Pelosi, ‘Will you agree to my wall?’ She said no.

And he just got up and said, ‘Then we have nothing to discuss,’ and he just walked out.”

Trump himself tweeted: “Just left a meeting with Chuck and Nancy, a total waste of time. I asked what is going to happen in 30 days if I quickly open things up, are you going to approve Border Security which includes a Wall or Steel Barrier? Nancy said, NO. I said bye-bye, nothing else works!”

The breakdown left no end in sight to the shutdown. Trump ended the day Wednesday even further dug in on his demands for $5.7 billion to build more than 200 new miles of wall along the U.S.-Mexico border — and

As shutdown endures, Trump walks out of meeting after Democrats reject wall funds

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic leaders rejected President Trump’s demand for border wall funding during a meeting Wednesday.

Democrats were equally forceful in rejecting his demands. Democrats are refusing to provide more than $1.3 billion to continue existing funding levels for security barriers at the border.

It’s not clear when — or if — negotiations will resume. On Saturday, the shutdown will become the longest in U.S. history.

government in Washington, with Democrats in their second week in control of the House, the standoff portends more clashes to come.

The breakdown at the White House occurred shortly after the president dug in defiantly at a private meeting with Senate Republicans, attempting to rally them to his side even as he faced skepticism from a few lawmakers.

“There was no discussion of anything other than solidarity,” Trump told reporters after meeting with GOP senators.

But moderate Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Susan Collins, R-Maine, pleaded with Trump to reopen the government, according to lawmakers present.

After the meeting, Murkowski told reporters: “I shared my support for the need for border security in the country and what we should do from a humanitarian perspective, but a recognition that when the government is shut down there are consequences and people are starting to feel those consequences.”

Collins urged Trump to consider a previous deal she was a part of that would trade $25 billion for the wall for permanent protections for undocumented immigrants brought to the country as kids. Trump dismissed that idea.

The discontent expressed by a handful of GOP lawmakers on both sides of the Capitol appeared unlikely to change the basic contours of the standoff between a president demanding a border wall, and Democrats who refuse to give it to him.

Asked Wednesday how long he was willing to let the shutdown continue as he seeks money for a border wall, Trump replied: “Whatever it takes.” ERICA

Shutdown halts FDA’s routine inspections

WERNER, SEAN SULLIVAN, MIKE DEBONIS AND

HEALTH The furloughing of hundreds of Food and Drug Administration inspectors has sharply reduced inspections of the nation’s food supply, potentially making Americans less safe.

The agency, which oversees 80 percent of the food supply, has suspended all routine inspections of domestic food-processing facilities, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said. The FDA typically conducts about 160 routine food inspections a week in the U.S., with about a third involving highrisk processing facilities.

The FDA continues to inspect foreign manufacturers, imports and domestic producers involved in recalls or outbreaks, and places where inspectors suspect there may be a problem.

Gottlieb said he is working on a plan to bring inspectors back as early as next week to inspect facilities considered high-risk because they handle sensitive items such as seafood, soft cheese and vegetables, or have a history of problems.

Sarah Sorscher of The Center for Science in the Public Interest said that regular inspections are vital, and that the reduction “puts our food supply at risk.”

Foodborne illnesses are a major problem in the United States, sickening 48 million people each year and killing 3,000, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates. LAURIE MCGINLEY AND

NATIONAL SECURITY Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the most visible Justice Department protector of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation and a frequent target of President Trump’s wrath, is expected to leave his position soon after Trump’s nominee for attorney general is confirmed.

The departure creates uncertainty about the oversight of Mueller’s team as it enters what may be its final months of work. But the attorney general nominee, William Barr, moved quickly Wednesday to quell concerns that his arrival could endanger the probe, telling lawmakers during Capitol Hill visits ahead of his confirmation hearing that he has a high opinion of Mueller.

“He had absolutely no indication he was going to tell Bob Mueller what to do or how to do it,” said Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, the incoming chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will question Barr on Tuesday.

attorneys general to have their own deputies, and Barr has told people close to him that he wanted his own No. 2.

It was unclear who might replace Rosenstein, though Barr has some ideas for a selection, Graham said, without elaborating. The deputy position requires Senate confirmation. It was also not immediately clear whether Rosenstein’s top deputy, Edward O’Callaghan, who has a prominent role overseeing Mueller’s investigation, might remain in his role.

Rosenstein’s departure is noteworthy given his appointment of Mueller and close supervision of his work. He’s also endured a tenuous relationship with Trump, who has repeatedly decried Rosenstein’s decision to appoint Mueller, and with congressional Republicans who accused him of withholding documents from them and not investigating aggressively enough what they contend was political bias within the FBI. The White House cast Rosenstein’s departure as his choice.

Spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Rosenstein had always planned to stay two years and wants to help with the transition to a new attorney general.

A court filing by Paul Manafort’s lawyers shows that he shared data with a man linked to Russian intelligence.

Filing: Manafort gave polling data to Russian Mueller claims Trump’s former campaign chair lied about sharing intel WASHINGTON Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort shared polling data during the 2016 presidential campaign with a business associate accused of having ties to Russian intelligence, and prosecutors say he lied to them about it, according to a court filing.

The allegation marks the first time prosecutors with special counsel Robert Mueller’s office have accused Donald Trump’s chief campaign aide of sharing election-related information with his Russian contacts. Although the filing does not say whether the polling information was public or what was done with it, it raises the possibility that Russia might have used inside information from the campaign as part of its effort to interfere in the election on Trump’s behalf.

The accusation could be important evidence in Mueller’s

ongoing probe into potential coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.

The information was accidentally revealed in a defense filing Tuesday and was meant to be redacted.

Manafort has been among the central characters in Mueller’s investigation, having led the campaign during the Republican convention and as, U.S. intelligence officials say, Russia was working to sway the election in Trump’s favor. Manafort has pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in Washington and faces sentencing in a separate case in Virginia.

The defense filing was aimed at rebutting allegations that Manafort intentionally lied to Mueller’s team after agreeing to plead guilty last September. Prosecutors say Manafort breached their plea agreement by lying, but defense lawyers argued that any misstatements were simple mistakes made by a man coping with illness, exhaustion and extensive questioning by investigators.

The filing revealed the first

extensive details of what Manafort is accused of lying about.

The filing contains new information about Manafort’s connections to Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian-Ukrainian business associate who was indicted last year on charges that he tampered with potential witnesses. The U.S. believes he is connected to Russian intelligence, but Kilimnik, who is not in U.S. custody, has denied those ties.

Emails previously reported by the AP and other news outlets show that in July 2016, Manafort told Kilimnik he was willing to provide “private briefings” about the Trump campaign to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Manafort dangled the briefings as he was mired in a dispute with Deripaska over a multimillion-dollar deal involving a Ukrainian cable company. Through his spokesman, Manafort has acknowledged discussing the briefings but said they never occurred. MICHAEL BALSAMO, ERIC TUCKER AND CHAD DAY (AP)

Last member of Hawaii snail species dies The last of a Hawaiian land snail species has died.

The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources says the last known Achatinella apexfulva died on New Year’s Day. It was about 14 years old and nicknamed “Lonely George,” according to CNN. In 1997, the last 10 known of George’s kind were brought into a lab at the University of Hawaii to be raised in captivity. Some offspring were produced, but the snails all eventually died — except for George.

A snippet of George’s foot was collected in 2017 for research. It remains in deep freeze in San Diego. The snails, once common in Oahu’s Koolau mountains, were used to make lei. The department says other remaining snails native to Hawaii face extinction from threats including invasive species and climate change. (AP)

WASHINGTONPOST.COM ON LEADERSHIP

Executives pick proteges who look like them A new report from the Center for Talent Innovation, a think tank focused on research about leadership and diversity issues, offers a reminder of how rare it is for people to choose proteges who don’t look like them.

The report, released Tuesday, surveyed more than 3,200 college-educated employees nationally who work in white-collar jobs. It found that 71 percent of those who identified as sponsors said their protege was the same race or gender as their own. It built on past research that had found 58 percent of women and 54 percent of men admitted to choosing a protege because they “make me feel comfortable.”

The report was the first time the CTI had asked sponsors whether their protege was a different race and gender than they are, so there is no historical trend with which to compare it.

The new research “reinforces what we’ve known on a gut level for years,” said Julia Taylor Kennedy, executive vice president at CTI. “People transfer power to others who make them feel comfortable.”

The survey looked not only at top executives but at people across all levels of white-collar jobs, so Kennedy says it’s unlikely that the outcome is simply the result of there being a lopsided demographic — namely, white men — at the top of the org chart. JENA MCGREGOR

COACHING CAROUSEL

Redskins owner Dan Snyder, left, may want to hire a new QB, coach and team president in 2020.

RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU

Tank next season?

Wholesale change may need to wait.

The Redskins are stalling.

They can’t make a big change at quarterback in the offseason. No marquee coach will come to this sinking franchise. And owner Dan Snyder seems unwilling to change his nearly 20-year mismanagement of the front office.

So how will the team regain its rapidly shrinking fan base without some new shiny object to wave over the offseason?

By pretending two straight 7-9 seasons were bad luck because of massive injuries.

Continue acting like

nothing’s wrong. Don’t show humility or willingness to change. Stay with coach Jay Gruden another season and, in 2020, make an all-in move to reboot the franchise, complete with a new stadium announcement.

It just might work.

Admittedly, the Redskins are indeed amid some bad luck — and poor timing. With the probable loss of injured quarterback Alex Smith, they need to once more reinvest in a franchise QB. Unfortunately, they owe Smith $31 million over the next two years, so there’s no room under the salary cap for even a modest

free-agent passer like Joe Flacco. With the 15th overall draft pick, they can’t get a bigname rookie in a poor year for quarterbacks.

Without a new passer, there’s no need to change coaches. And without changing coaches, there’s no urgency to move team president Bruce Allen. There’s no sense changing one of the three critical pieces — quarterback, head coach and team president — this season if massive moves need to be made next year. Better to be in sync and let a new general manager pick his coach, who will select this quarterback. The Redskins can’t get the passer they need this year, so the other two spots should wait, too.

Wasting another year is a dangerous gamble. It could push even hardcore supporters to the brink. The Redskins have lost their grip on local fans for the first time since Vince Lombardi’s 1969 arrival.

The public no longer trusts Snyder and Allen to move the

team in a positive direction.

They’re ambivalent at best on Gruden. If he goes 4-12 this fall, pitchforks and torches will line the road to Redskins Park.

Rather, a “Tank for Tua” campaign is the only way the Redskins can regroup. Snyder will finally be forced to move on from Allen, fire Gruden and get a top quarterback like Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa to energize fans. And right on cue, horns will blare, announcing a new stadium location.

Meanwhile, the Redskins will spend this offseason patching a battered crew.

They need a guard, receiver, cornerback and safety for starters, but a big-ticket move like quarterback should wait one more year while they hope interim passer Colt McCoy can stay healthy.

It’s all a waiting game for 2020.

CPAA PRODUCTIONS LTD. PRESENTS THE CHINA NATIONAL TRADITIONAL ORCHESTRA

A first-time guarantee WIZARDS As Chasson Randle waited at the scorerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s table Tuesday to check into the game, he turned back toward the Wizardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bench. For the first time in his NBA career, he was no longer looking over his shoulder.

The Wizardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; backup point guard played under a contract that became guaranteed Monday for the rest of the season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a first for Randle, who closed the 201617 season in a brief stint with the New York Knicks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to be in a situation where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a cloud over my head or Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next,â&#x20AC;? Randle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Now] I know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next.â&#x20AC;?

Randle started the season as one of the last players cut from the Wizardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; training camp. Then he signed a nonguaranteed deal Oct. 30, only to be assigned the next day to the Wizardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; G League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go. The Wizards brought Randle back Dec. 18, and at the time, neither the team nor the player could have known how much would change within weeks.

John Wall and Randle exchanged text messages Tuesday. Wall sent motivation as Randle prepared for the rest of the season with the assurance that he will stick around. Randle typed encouraging words to Wall before the star point guard underwent season-ending surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not John Wall,â&#x20AC;?

can play together and try to make up for his loss, I think it will be all right.â&#x20AC;?

Randle knows heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get minutes backing up Tomas Satoransky.

He knows his role is to maintain the lead or claw out of deficits, just as it was Tuesday, when the Wizardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bench unit outscored the Sixers 37-28 in the fourth quarter of a 132-115 loss. The team played a second consecutive game against Philadelphia on Wednesday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this time at home, with results too late for Expressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deadline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had to fight and scrap to get up here in the first place,â&#x20AC;? coach Scott Brooks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely earned. Nothing is

ever given, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earned this opportunity to stay all year long.â&#x20AC;?

The cloud may no longer be lingering over him, but Randle wants to keep the mindset of a player who is chasing assurance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intense, but in some ways, you get used to it,â&#x20AC;? Randle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know any day could be your last day, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still that way. I plan on living or playing the rest of the season with the same approach. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take anything for granted. Any day could be your last and play hard.â&#x20AC;?

The Wizards have until Jan. 21 to expand their roster to 14 players as Markieff Morris, Dwight Howard and Wall remain injured.

Keeping in tune with the times A copy of a harpsichord owned by Washington heads to Mount Vernon MUSIC A replica of a harpsichord owned

by George Washington will be played in public for the first time at the Washington Winter Show this weekend.

The president’s instrument — made as the piano was eclipsing the harpsichord in popularity — was a marvel of technology for its time, says John Watson. A retired Colonial Williamsburg conservator, Watson spent thousands of hours hand-building the replica

for Mount Vernon, which now owns both keyboard instruments.

“It’s quite charming,” Watson says of the instrument he copied.

“It has a mellow tone compared to earlier harpsichords.”

While harpsichords traditionally have a tinny sound, Washington’s harpsichord likely sounded more like a plucked guitar. That’s because the instrument, which he purchased for his granddaughter in 1793, used soft leather to pluck the strings instead of stiff quills. It also featured a venetian blind-like overlay that allowed the player to gradually increase or decrease the volume. These innovations made this harpsichord

an expressive instrument, well suited to the changing demands of classical music at the time.

“When Washington bought this harpsichord for his granddaughter, she already had a piano, so people wonder: Why would you go back to having an old-fashioned instrument when you already have the new thing? I think when you hear the replica, you’ll understand why this was the favorite instrument in the Washington household,” Watson says.

Temple University music professor Joyce Lindorff will play period music on the replica during the antiques and arts show, which is held at American

University’s Katzen Art Center. Then it will move to Mount Vernon, where it will take the place of the original harpsichord, which has long been unplayable.

“They needed to put it in a more stable museum environment,” Wats o n s ays . “ Now they have an instrument they can actually play.”

There are so many artifacts and so many brilliantly curated exhibitions that I could spend all day there.

Simone Eccleston ARTS PROGRAMMER

Simone Eccleston, the Kennedy Center’s first director of hip-hop culture and contemporary music, has been curating events such as film screenings, dance parties, theatrical productions and (of course) concerts since her hiring in 2017.

“The amount of inspiration that I experience on a daily basis is astounding,” she says of the job. “It’s so great to be in a space where on any night I could go from a jazz performance to a pop show to something on the classical side, then the theater.” For Eccleston, 38, finding inspiration isn’t just limited to work hours or her H Street NE neighborhood. She’d spend an ideal D.C. day taking in art, music … and some pork belly.

I will literally have a listening session in my house. It’s part meditative, part about creating space for ideas to flow.

Lately I’ve been going back to Solange’s “A Seat at the Table.”

Every time I listen to that album, it’s magic.

Then I’d head back to my apartment and listen to music.

Next is the National Portrait Gallery. I love the Obama

Then I’m going to an NPR Tiny Desk Concert. To be able to experience artists that we consider to be major contributors to the culture, and they’re behind this desk delivering a signature set — it’s really extraordinary.

I want to drop in to Songbyrd Music House and check out their record collection. There’s something about being able to peruse what’s there, whether you’re looking at classic albums or new albums. There’s something beautiful about holding a record in your hand.

Then I’m going to Kith/Kin. Chef Kwame [Onwuachi] and his staff do such an incredible job of making you feel welcome — and the food is delicious. I come from a Jamaican family, and we will judge you by your oxtail.

Then I’d end the night with a lovely cocktail at Copycat Co. They have dim sum late at night, and it’s the perfect way to end the night.

If you’re not a badass, it’s not her fault

A decade ago, when Jen Sincero was in her 40s and totally broke — flailing about in “Loserville,” as she puts it — she decided to change her life. And she actually followed through.

After launching a successful company that helped businesses write book proposals and becoming a life coach, Sincero got a publishing deal that’s allowed her to share her hard-won wisdom with the masses. The result was her sassy 2013 selfhelp guide, the best-selling “You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life” (plus the subsequent spinoffs “You Are a Badass at Making Money” and last month’s “You Are a Badass Every Day”). “A lot of people pretend they’ve made the decision to change their life, when they’ve really only signed up until it gets too hard or too expensive,” says Sincero, 53, who’s based outside Santa Fe, N.M. “We all have the capacity to make whatever changes we desire in life; we just have to be willing to do whatever it takes.” Sincero, who will discuss her books at Sixth & I on Thursday, says the following six steps can help us unlock our own inner badassery. ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS) Get specific about each of your goals “A lot of times, we just want to make more money or get in shape — but what the hell does that look like? Unless you get into the specifics, you really can’t achieve anything,” Sincero says.

So, say you want to mark the new year with a new job. Write down exactly what that occupational upgrade looks like: What will you spend your days doing? Who will you work with, and what will you earn? What will you enjoy about it, and how exactly will it improve your daily life?

Think bite-size chunks, not the whole shebang Want to write a book? Don’t approach the task as if you have to write the book all at once, “because that will put you in the fetal position,” Sincero says. Instead, plan to write five pages a day or for 20 minutes each morning.

“Overwhelm is one of the No. 1 reasons people don’t do a damn

thing,” she says. “I wouldn’t have ever written anything if I didn’t chunk things down.”

Establish a support group Enlist a personal cheerleader who can work with you to help you reach your goals. Progress is easier when you have a “mastermind partner” who will hold you accountable via check-ins every week or two, making sure you’re writing those chapters or finessing that résumé. “We can’t do anything in a vacuum,” Sincero says. “It does take a village, and who you surround yourself with is vital.”

“There are all these routines that take literally 10 minutes a day,” Sincero says. W hich you choose isn’t as important as making sure you consistently show up at the spiritual gym to keep those “muscles” strong.

Put together a spiritual gym routine

Make “go for it” your new motto

Motivation, confidence and tenacity are all muscles, Sincero says — and we need to exercise them, same as we do our biceps or quads. Try meditating each morning, listening to energizing music or watching YouTube videos of motivational speakers.

“Do things that scare the crap out of you on a regular basis,” Sincero advises. When we play small and safe, she says, we don’t make progress. But “when we take risks and use fear as a compass instead of a roadblock, we kick some serious butt.” Live courageously

and you’ll start knocking down the walls of your comfort zone.

The only way to change your life, Sincero says, is to do things you’ve never done before.

Allow yourself to be the badass you’re meant to be In case you’re fuzzy on the terminology, Sincero helpfully defines the word she’s made a career out of: “A badass is someone who gives themselves permission to be, do and have whatever is in their hearts,” she says. “You’ve got one and only one life on planet Earth as the you that is you, and what could be more important than giving yourself the opportunities that really light you up?”

weekendpass Merritt David Janes’ wannabe rock star Dewey Finn teaches prep school preteens how to let loose.

A long way to the top for this teacher Merritt David Janes checks off another life goal with his role in ‘School of Rock’

STAGE Merritt David Janes graduated from the University of Maine in 2004 with a bachelor’s degree in music education. But becoming a teacher was never his intent.

“To be very honest, I wanted to be a performer,” Janes says. “If I was going to college, I wanted

something that I could do and use along the way and draw from and, perhaps later in life, have to go back to. And teaching seemed like a really great thing.”

Today, the 37-year-old finds himself strumming along to both beats while playing the lead role of Dewey Finn — a garage band

slacker turned impromptu music teacher — in the touring production of “School of Rock.”

“I didn’t realize I was going to be the best music teacher at the best music school in the world,” Janes says. “But here I am.”

The musical, which begins a run at the National Theatre on Wednesday, opened on Broadway in 2015 as an adaptation of the Jack Black film. Featuring music from the 2003 movie in addition to new songs written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, “School of Rock” follows Dewey as he stumbles his way into a job as a substitute teacher at a hoitytoity prep school and comes to unearth his students’ dormant musical talents.

As the story builds toward the class’s participation in a Battle of the Bands contest, Janes and the preteen actors rock out live onstage while performing with

“I didn’t realize I was going to be the best music teacher at the best music school in the world.

But here I am.”

real instruments.

“I can’t think of many other shows that have put as many musical instruments into kids’ hands as our show,” Janes says.

“I think everyone should be a songwriter, everyone should play an instrument, and the world would be a better place if everyone did.”

Janes’ musical roots run deep. His mother is a longtime

co-concertmaster of the Vermont Philharmonic, his father has “a hell of a country singing voice” and his grandfather was a gifted pianist. Himself a trumpet, guitar and piano player, Janes rode his talents to Europe for a series of concert tours during his college days, then relocated to New York City and studied at the Circle in the Square Theatre School from 2005 to 2007.

From there, the Vermont native landed roles in touring productions including “Sweeney Todd,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Shrek” and “Phantom of the Opera.” When Laurence Connor, the director of “Phantom’s” 25th anniversary tour, took the helm of “School of Rock” on Broadway, he brought on Janes as a member of the original ensemble and understudy for the role of Dewey.

After nearly two years on Broadway, Janes joined “School

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a life Janes envisioned during his high school days, when he was a budding performer not unlike the students in â&#x20AC;&#x153;School of Rock.â&#x20AC;? He vividly remembers telling a guidance counselor back then of his aspirations for a life of acting, singing, playing instruments, traveling and teaching.

This counselor, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to say, was no Dewey Finn. â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very nice, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to happen,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Janes recalls hearing. â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Choose one thing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spread yourself so thin.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every single one of those things on my list came true,â&#x20AC;? Janes says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take for granted one second the fact that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on a glorious, fantastic adventure.â&#x20AC;?

BOOKS Don’t be ashamed, you readers of “Twilight,” you fans of Michael Bay, you watchers of “The Big Bang Theory.” You’re part of a great American tradition.

“There is this idea that American things can be fascinating without being refined,” says Hugh McIntosh, author of the new book “Guilty Pleasures: Popular Novels and American Audiences in the Long Nineteenth Century.” “You can be really important without being really well done.”

That idea started to emerge long before JWoww and Snooki

h it the Jersey shore.

Beginning in the mid-19th century, the mass production of books i n A mer ic a made the onetime luxury item available to, well, the masses. That coincided with rising literacy rates, and the best-seller was born — except most American best-sellers weren’t considered literature.

“There was definitely a classist, elitist idea that anything ‘the people’ were reading was inferior to what they were reading at Harvard,” McIntosh says. “At the time, literary study was still focused on the classics,” such as “Paradise Lost,” “The Odyssey”

surrounded popular American novels of the mid-19th century.

The conversation around works like “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and “Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ” — now considered landmarks, but then viewed as the kind of guilty pleasures McIntosh writes about — reflected a uniquely

American belief that something doesn’t have to be of the highest quality to have value.

“This idea kept coming up again and again that an American book didn’t have to be great to have an important impact,” McIntosh says.

The dismissive attitude of popular culture is less prevalent today, but it still lingers.

“Reality TV is certainly on the list of guilty pleasures for a lot of people these days, but at the same time, no one’s really hiding the fact that they watch the Kardashians,” McIntosh says.

Some of the most popular TV shows or movies today may not be considered high art, but what we consume and how we talk about it provide clues to our culture at large.

“I think in 50 years, if you go back and look at a Reddit chat room about the Kardashians, you’ll be able to find some really interesting conversations,” McIntosh says. “And I hope people read all those Reddit chat rooms and write books about what they find.”

Resolution reckoning RESOLUTION:

You can practically hear it. Maybe it’s an email about a sale at Old Navy, or the siren song of a large latte with almond milk (and maybe one of those croissants). Maybe it’s the comfy bed calling you away from the running shoes and sports bra you so diligently set out last night. Maybe it’s that nice bottle of cabernet you bought for Christmas but didn’t get a chance to open before January 1st.

It’s got you asking yourself: Isn’t it time to give up on that silly New Year’s resolution? NO! Or maybe it is. We took five common resolutions and talked to experts about how to keep going now that the going’s gotten tough — or how to bust them in a big way.

KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

RESOLUTION:

Save some bucks

Go booze-free

After the holiday shopping season, your bank account might be looking a little low.

And your credit card balances might be looking pretty high. As a first step to getting back on track, you’re bringing your lunch to work every day. But now the Tupperware’d leftovers and Ziploc’ed sandwiches are starting to get a little boring. Add a special ingredient, says Michelle Singletary, a personal finance columnist for The Washington Post. “As you’re packing your lunch, take a copy of your credit card bill and put it in your lunch sack,” she says. “That will show you that you can’t afford to give up.”

She also suggests deleting any shopping apps from your phone to avoid temptation.

But if you do break down and splurge, don’t beat yourself up. “We are human. We mess up. Just start all over again,” she says. “Every day you open your eyes is another chance to get it right.”

Abstaining from alcohol in January has become a trend, and Derek Brown has been doing it for at least seven years. That’s surprising, considering he’s president of Drink Company, which owns several local bars, and author of the upcoming book “Spirits, Sugar, Water, Bitters: How the Cocktail Conquered the World.” “Drinking is part of my job, and it especially got heavy around the holidays,” Brown says. “I took January as a way to detox.” Now that you’ve made it through one booze-free weekend, your resolve might be weakening. “There are two things that help me,” Brown says. “First is just telling my friends about it. Saying, ‘I’m going to do this’ gives you a little fuel to keep going. Second, instead of saying, ‘This is what I’m not doing,’ ask, ‘What am I doing in place of that?’ Go rock climbing or try a meditation class — do something that encourages a healthy behavior.” (Those with a serious alcohol problem, of course, may need more help.)

How to keep it

How to break it The fun thing about breaking this resolution is it might ACTUALLY MAKE YOU RICH (it will not make you rich). On Saturday at the MGM National Harbor casino (101 MGM National Ave., Oxon Hill, Md.), $100 gets you into a blackjack tournament where you might walk away with the $35,000 grand prize (or possibly nothing). On Jan. 27, there’s a slots tournament with a $99 buy-in that could net you $12,000 in cash (but probably won’t). Feel like James Bond? How about plunking down $100 so you can win 10 grand playing baccarat on Jan. 28? (How hard can baccarat be?) That’s on top of the usual table games, slots and card games. PLUS, there’s a poker tournament nearly every day — and anyone who’s watched the pros play Texas Hold’em on ESPN should at least be able to walk away with a few more chips than you came in with. Really, how can you lose?

(There are, in fact, many ways you can lose.)

How to keep it

How to break it Wineries are great places to thoughtfully sip chardonnay, pretend you know what “oaky” means and then buy a bottle because you feel guilty after drinking all those free samples. Most people visit them in the warmer months, but the real wine drinkers step up all year long. The Daylight Winter Wine Fest at City Winery (1350 Okie St. NE; Jan. 18, 8 p.m.-2 a.m., $20) allows you to dance and drink, and the drinking part means you’ll only get better at dancing! From 8 to 10 p.m., your ticket gets you a tasting flight of four wines. Starting at 10 is the Daylight After party, featuring DJ Divine spinning dance songs from the 1970s to the ’90s. End your dry spell by choosing from a wine list that is nearly 30 pages long — or have a beer or a cocktail. If you’re going to slip, it might as well be at a place where you can do the Electric Slide (note: There is no guarantee DJ Divine will play the Electric Slide song).

How to keep it

“People start these restrictive diets, these detox cleanses, and they’re miserable after 10 days,” says Kaitlin Eckstein, a registered dietitian with Rebecca Bitzer & Associates.

“I actually recommend adding more to your life — more vegetables, more fiber.” Instead of promising yourself that you’ll eat only organic, vegan, gluten-free, local foods, Eckstein suggests focusing on small goals. “It could be ‘Today I’m going to eat an extra vegetable’ or ‘Tomorrow I’m going to have a plant-based meal,’ ” she says. “The overarching theme is consistency. And maybe one day you do go out with your friends and get the french fries, but it’s really about what the long term looks like.”

Even when you have a big goal, small steps are still the way to go. Instead of thinking, “I have to lose 40 pounds,” think, “I want to lose 2 pounds this month,” Eckstein says. “It’s small, but it’s realistic and achievable.”

“We can totally tell when you lie about flossing,” says Rick Jackomis of Jackomis Dental in Sterling, Va. Dentists and hygienists nag because they care — and because flossing is really important. If you don’t floss, plaque builds up to tartar, which can get below the gum line and open the door to infection. “People lose their teeth because of it,” Jackomis says. If you’re starting to lose the will to floss, Jackomis suggests putting a guilt-inducing sticky note in the middle of your mirror that just says “FLOSS.” “Nobody enjoys it,” Jackomis says. “But the connection between your overall health and your teeth is very clear. If your gums aren’t healthy, your body won’t be healthy.”

Personal trainer Lauren Abramson actually doesn’t much care for the traditional, ambitious “THIS is the year I run that marathon!” resolution. “There’s a finite start time, which to me means there’s going to be a finite end time,” says Abramson, who works for Storm Fitness, an in-home personal training company based in Reston, Va. “It’s always, everyone goes hard and fast for two weeks and then peters out.” So pick an activity that you not only like, but one that is manageable. “What are you going to do that’s going to keep you coming back?” she says. “And set goals like, ‘I’m going to do 90 minutes [of exercise] this week. I don’t care what it is.’” And keep in mind that once you’ve started, you’ve already won something. “Putting on the shoes and showing up,” Abramson says. “That’s usually the hardest thing.”

How to keep it

How to break it You can eat sticky candy and still keep all your chompers. “We have customers who are in their late 80s, early 90s, even over 100, who have eaten this their whole lives who have all their teeth,” says Regina Clansky, manager of the Silver Spring outpost of Velatis (8408B Georgia Ave.), a local company that’s been making its signature caramels since 1866. “There is one very, very chewy caramel that will stick to your teeth,” Clansky says. But if you’re looking to keep your fillings where they’re supposed to be, “we have a sugary caramel that’s cooked more like fudge,” she adds. “I think if [customers] allow themselves a small treat and take care of their teeth, they’ll be fine.”

How to break it “We can usually tell within the first 15 minutes if someone is going to make it or not,” says Jennifer Hoang, chef-owner of Sprig and Sprout (2317 Wisconsin Ave. NW). “Making it” in this context means completing the restaurant’s Pho Challenge. Participants have an hour to finish a bowl of the traditional Vietnamese soup — a BIG bowl.

Each contains 3 quarts of broth, 2 pounds of lean brisket and flank steak, a pound of veggies and herbs and 2 pounds of rice noodles (substitutions are available for vegetarians). Win and the soup is free, your picture and name go on the restaurant’s wall, and you get to add “ate 5 pounds of food in one sitting” to your Tinder bio. Lose and you pony up $40 (you do get to keep the leftovers). Hoang says past winners haven’t exhibited a common strategy. “It’s really just coming in and eating like a regular bowl of pho,” she says. “Just faster. And they don’t chew as much.”

This is more a shift in mindset rather than an endorsement of continually hitting the snooze button. “What I would propose is that folks make a resolution in general to get more sleep,” says Daniel Turissini, owner of recharj (1445 New York Ave. NW), a D.C. meditation and nap studio. “And within that, thinking about a power nap as part of that holistic wellness component.” At recharj, clients have a space for a 25-minute power nap in a place that isn’t the backseat of your car. Curtains surround a “cocoon” that “really conforms to your body and gives you that back support. It really feels like you’re resting on a cloud.” After 25 minutes, a gentle alarm sounds and the snoozer is ready to get back to the day. “Power naps are fantastic for that energy boost right after lunch,” Turissini says. “It’s important to maintain that level of productivity throughout the day without stimulants or medication. A power nap is a natural, fantastic way to reboot your system.”

WIT Road Show

Rayland Baxter

Washington Improv Theater takes its show on the road — but not too far — for three weekends at Atlas Performing Arts Center. Each night features improvised sets from several of WIT’s ensemble groups, as well as “The Fourth Estate,” a new improv comedy show that takes aim at the news media (what could be funny about that?). Atlas

Nashville singer-songwriter Rayland Baxter wrote his latest album, “Wide Awake,” while holed up in an abandoned rubber band factory-turned studio in rural Kentucky, then he headed to Santa Monica, Calif., to record in earnest.

As a result of his surroundings, the album often oscillates between sunny, polished pop rock and more isolating folk songs.

Performing Arts Center, 1333 H St. NE; Thu. through Jan. 27, $15-$20.

The Hamilton, 600 14th St. NW; Sat., 8 p.m., $15-$20.

FILM

‘Fraudway’ film series The Library of Congress celebrates cinema’s larger-than-life depictions of Broadway over the years with its free “Fraudway” series. The Mary Pickford Theater is screening movies on Thursdays, starting with Bob Fosse’s 1979 classic “All That Jazz,” a semi-autobiographical tale of an acclaimed Broadway director who is consumed by his art. Jan. 24 brings “Staying Alive,” a bizarre sequel to “Saturday Night Fever” in which John Travolta reprises his leading role under the direction of Sylvester Stallone. Library of Congress, 101 Independence Ave. SE; Thursdays through Jan. 31, 7 p.m., free.

MUSIC

Chuck Brown Band Chuck Brown died in 2012, but the Godfather of Go-Go’s memory lives on throughout D.C. in murals, a street name, a park and in the music pumped out by car stereos.

Yet the true flame of Brown is kept burning by the Chuck Brown Band, led by Frank “Scooby” Sirius. The so-called Godson of Go-Go and company are now the best way for Washingtonians to experience go-go as it’s meant to be heard: live. City Winery, 1350 Okie St. NE; Fri., 8 p.m., $30-$35.

FRIDAY

Jay Pharoah 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Fri., 8 p.m., $30.

Jay Pharoah was one of the most memorable “Saturday Night Live” cast members in recent memory, thanks to his spot-on impressions of JAY-Z, Barack Obama and Denzel Washington. Since leaving the sketch show in 2016, the comedian has popped up in TV and film roles while honing his stand-up, which shows a side he didn’t get to display on “SNL.” Pharoah is currently testing out new material for his second comedy special.

MUSIC

Hammered Hulls The new D.C.-based post-punk supergroup Hammered Hulls has been quietly writing loud songs with an efficiency that comes only with experience. The quartet is led by bassist Mary Timony, who has made plenty of noise in Helium and Ex Hex, and frontman Alec MacKaye, whose combustible shout has anchored Faith, Ignition and The Warmers. Comet Ping Pong, 5037 Connecticut Ave. NW; Sat., 10 p.m., $12-$14.

Wed. STAGE

‘Admissions’ Joshua Harmon, who wrote Studio Theatre’s hit “Bad Jews,” returns with a timely play that follows two white parents who are headmasters at a boarding school. They pride themselves on diversifying the student body, but when their son’s plan to attend an Ivy League college begins to fall through, they start questioning their progressive values, in this drama that originally debuted in New York. Studio Theatre, 1501 14th St. NW; Wed. through Feb. 17, $20-$111.

entertainment CHRIS RICHARDS | THE WASHINGTON POST

Raising my hand: I took too long to disavow R. Kelly pornography Kelly was facing?

Or the infamous videotape of Kelly allegedly having sex with a minor? Or his 1994 marriage to the singer Aaliyah? (And how, at the time, Kelly was 27 and Aaliyah was only 15?)

I defended my position with a weak line of logic I had heard others use: Whatever this guy may or may not have done, it doesn’t change the quality of his music. Marcia wasn’t satisfied with that, but she graciously met me halfway.

We would mention the charges against Kelly early in the review. She also suggested that I change the word “genius” to “uniqueness” — and after I warily consented to the swap, that was that.

But Marcia’s voice never went away. By 2010, I had stopped attending Kelly’s concerts and I refrained from reviewing his albums. I eventually stopped typing his name altogether. Should we be doing this? The last time I put Kelly’s name in print was in 2014.

Why had it been so hard for me to give up on this music? I kept coming back to the word that Marcia had plugged into my review. “Uniqueness.” That had to be it, right? It wasn’t that R. Kelly was great. It was that R. Kelly was singular.

The next time I hear

Lindsay Lohan’s reality show is a Greek tragedy

MICHAEL N. TODARO (GETTY IMAGES

One of the more difficult moments of “Surviving R. Kelly” comes at the very end, when you’re left wondering if you somehow played a part.

The six-part documentary — which aired on Lifetime this past weekend — recounts the agonizing stories of abuse from Kelly’s numerous accusers, and how the 52-year-old singer’s fame has shielded him from accountability for decades. And by “fame,” I mean “our collective complicity.”

As a music critic, here’s my piece. I was freelancing for The Washington Post in 2007 when I pitched a review of Kelly’s album “Double Up,” an extravagantly lewd assortment of R&B songs. If American soul music was about truthtelling, here was a singer willing to tell us something extraordinary about the absurdity of sex.

When I filed the piece to assignment editor Marcia Davis, she came back with a question that I hadn’t anticipated: Should we be doing this?

Controversies were swirling around Kelly at the time, but my review had only mentioned them in passing. Shouldn’t we bring up the charges of child

The six-part Lifetime documentary “Surviving R. Kelly” has pushed allegations of sexual misconduct against the singer back into the spotlight.

Kelly manager accused Timothy Savage, a Georgia man involved with the Lifetime documentary “Surviving R. Kelly,” told police Jan. 3 that Kelly’s manager, Don Russell, threatened him, according to a Henry County police report. Russell allegedly texted Savage that it would be best for him and his family if the documentary, which details abuse allegations against Kelly, didn’t air. The report says the case is being forwarded to the criminal investigations division for review. (AP)

“Ignition (Remix),” I’ll hear Marcia’s voice, reminding me that how we talk about this world shapes how others see it. And now, after watching “Surviving R. Kelly,” I’ll hear voices I hadn’t truly listened to before — the voices of Kelly’s survivors, reminding me to turn the radio off, reminding me to leave the dance floor, reminding me that it shouldn’t have taken so long.

FILM

BAFTAs favor ‘The Favourite’

“The Favourite” lived up to its name Wednesday, leading the British Academy Film Awards with 12 nominations. The nods included best film, best director for Yorgos Lanthimos, best actress for Olivia Colman, and best supporting actress for Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz. “The Favourite” is joined in the best-film race by “Roma,” “A Star Is Born,” “Green Book” and “BlacKkKlansman.” The winners will be announced Feb. 10 at a ceremony in London. (AP)

Hulu cancels Sarah Silverman talk show “I Love You, America”

Phylicia Rashad to guest star on “This Is Us”

TV REVIEW When you hear “Lindsay Lohan” and “reality show” in the same sentence, another word that might come to mind is “disaster.”

However, we can inform you: “Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club,” which debuted Tuesday on MTV, is not a disaster. Centered on the launch of Lohan’s new club in Mykonos, Greece, it’s a fairly standard — and unremarkable — entry into the “underlings work for a celebrity boss” genre of reality TV. Still, the show is a deeply sad viewing experience. Just not for the reasons you might expect.

Lohan, extremely aware of her reputation, wants you to know: Her troubles are behind her.

But she has serious trust issues from years in the spotlight. She relocated to Dubai years ago, and during the episode’s after-show, she explains her reasoning: “I moved to Dubai because it’s illegal to take photos of people without their knowledge.” During the episode, she fretted about people using her for their own gain. “Being in the public eye, people all the time take from me.

And it’s hard.”

It sounds like pretty real pain from someone who, as a child star, never had a shot at a normal life. As easy as it would be to write off “Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club” as yet another ridiculous show, when you consider everything that led the oncecelebrated actress to this place, it actually just feels tragic.

@MTRACEY, joking about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s remarks after President Trump’s Oval Office address on the government shutdown. The two Democrats looked very disappointed as they refuted Trump’s claims of a border “crisis,” immediately sparking comparisons to Grant Wood’s famous painting “American Gothic” and the twins from horror flick “The Shining.”

“I’m never going to finish watching this am I?” @LISAFRANKERS, despairing over the “Black Mirror” choose-your-ownadventure movie “Bandersnatch.”

The interactive episode was released last month, but Netflix UK and Ireland tweeted Tuesday that users who thought they’d made it through every ending should select the option of “picking up the family photo” twice. The tip sent fans into distress, as “Bandersnatch” takes at least two hours to get through.

“Someone tell Chris Evans that his Captain America is showing!” @MILLE066, reacting after the actor

tweeted angrily about the presence of “smart” features in almost all current technology. The crotchety tone of Evans’ tweet immediately reminded fans — and co-stars Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo — of his Marvel character, who often doesn’t understand modern tech because he was born in the early 1900s.

TODAY: It remains mostly sunny, but also cold and blustery.

Afternoon highs will reach only the upper 30s and there are winds from the northwest at 10-20 mph with higher gusts. Wind-chill values will make it feel more like temperatures are in the upper 20s for much of the day. Mostly clear, cold and breezy tonight.

Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds and singer Aja Volkman are “rebuilding” their relationship after announcing their breakup in April. The couple, who have three daughters together, got married in 2011. “I know that it’s been a crazy road,” Volkman wrote Tuesday on Instagram. “It’s killed us both in so many moments. Last year we killed each other and now we are rebuilding. You can become your worst self in the eye of a giant storm.

You almost have to. … That’s what we have done. And now.

Honesty. That’s all we need.” (EXPRESS)
