The Portrait Gallery had to create traffic flows to direct crowds who came to see the new portraits of the former first couple.

A museum invigorated New Obama paintings attract record crowds to the Portrait Gallery CULTURE The Smithsonian’s presidential portraits are feeling the selfie love. The new paintings of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, attracted big crowds to the National Portrait Gallery last week, where thousands of visitors lined up for hours to see the works. The gallery commissioned contemporary powerhouse Kehinde Wiley and emerging star Amy Sherald to create the paintings of the former first couple. The portraits attracted

international attention when they were unveiled Feb. 12, and the enthusiasm continued during the first week they were on view to the public. More than 72,100 visitors — including 50,000 during the long Presidents Day weekend — entered the museum during the first week, officials said. In comparison, last year’s holiday weekend attracted 16,041 visitors. Elisabeth Kilday, visitor services manager for the NPG and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, which share the historic building, described a festive atmosphere in the galleries. “They were people wanting to see it right away, folks who

really wanted to be there and who were really excited to see them in person,” Kilday said. The museum prepared for the increase in visitors by creating two traffic patterns: one for guests who wanted to view the paintings and one for those who wanted to take pictures in front of them. On Sunday, the line for a photo with Wiley’s portrait stretched 90 minutes. NPG Director Kim Sajet said the enthusiasm was greater than anything she’s experienced in her four-year tenure. “People were enjoying the community, the history,” Sajet said. “I kept saying, ‘You do know they’re not going anywhere?’” PEGGY MCGLONE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

WINTER WARMTH

Will cherry blossoms bloom early? For the second winter in a row, exceptional warmth has been the theme in Washington, bringing plants out of their dormancy. Things aren’t as far along as they were at this point last year, but there are signals an early cherry blossom bloom is possible. The cherry trees on the Mall near the Washington Monument and also across the river in Arlington are starting to pop. But there hasn’t been anything significant from the Yoshino cherry trees near the Tidal Basin. It may be weeks before those trees bloom. (TWP)

Md. bill would require consent classes in school MARYLAND As sexual harassment allegations continue to dominate headlines, the issue has seeped into conversations among students. “It’s in our world. We talk about it a lot,” said Maeve SanfordKelly, an eighth-grader at North Bethesda Middle School. So she thought it was weird they never discussed it in her health classes. Her mother, Maryland Del. Ariana B. Kelly, D-Montgomery, agreed with her. Together they came up with a way to change that — through a bill that would require public schools to provide

age-appropriate instruction on the meaning of “consent” and respect for personal boundaries. In a House committee hearing last week in Annapolis, 13-yearold Maeve testified in support of the bill, which was approved by an education subcommittee Tuesday. “Why don’t our schools teach us that this is not how we treat people?” she asked. “We cannot spend one more day allowing people to grow up and continue this culture of predatory behavior.” At least two dozen states are considering legislation that would incorporate sexual violence

On Wednesday, Uber launched a new service, Express Pool, that aims to cut out the detours and backtracking on UberPool. Riders will be directed to pickup points within two blocks of their origin and dropped off within two blocks of their destinations, according to Uber. The perk for riders? Discounted trips. Express Pool is up to 50 percent cheaper than ride-splitting option UberPool and 75 percent cheaper than UberX, the door-to-door ride-hailing service, Uber says.

The settlement in the wrongful-death lawsuit comes after an internal review concluded Officer Brian Trainer should not have pulled his gun and was not in danger when he fired at Sterling.

Suspect, fatally shot by police after a chase, had history of violence PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY An off-duty officer who answered a neighbor’s request for help in a domestic dispute was shot and killed Wednesday in Prince George’s County, officials said. The suspect in the officer’s shooting was later shot and killed by police after a chase. Police Chief Hank Stawinski said Officer Mujahid Ramzziddin was confronted by a man with a shotgun when he left his home in suburban Maryland to help a woman who lived a few doors away and knew Ramzziddin was a police officer. “He stood his ground,” Stawinski said. “He saved her life by giving his own.” The man who shot Ramzziddin, identified by police as Glenn Tyndell, 37 of Brandywine, then fled the scene in a vehicle. Stawinski said the chase ended when the suspect was shot and killed by two Prince George’s County officers. Ramzziddin, a married father of four, had been with the department for 13 years, and in 2006 received a Valor Award from the department, Stawinski said. The man who shot Ramzziddin had a history of domestic incidents, Stawinski said. Police later

Officer Mujahid Ramzziddin was a married father of four who had been with the department 13 years.

said he had three open warrants for assault, and court records list multiple civil and criminal complaints against him dating back to 2010. Many of them were ultimately dismissed. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is conducting its own investigation, but Stawinski said he has reason to believe that those domestic incidents should have barred the suspect from legally owning a firearm. Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker said his sadness over Ramzziddin’s death is mixed with pride for his willingness to help a member of the community. “He didn’t have to answer the door,” Baker said. “He didn’t have to walk out that door.” (AP)

Force for evangelicalism The Rev. Billy Graham, the most famous religious voice in postwar America, dies at 99 MONTREAT, N.C. The Rev. Billy Graham, the magnetic, handsome preacher who became a singular force in postwar American religious life, a confidant of presidents and the most widely heard Christian evangelist in history, died Wednesday at 99. “America’s Pastor,” as he was dubbed, had suffered from cancer, pneumonia and other ailments and died at his home in North Carolina. More than anyone else, Graham built evangelicalism into a force that rivaled liberal Protestantism and Roman Catholicism in the U.S. His leadership summits and crusades in more than 185 countries and territories forged powerful global links among conservative Christians and threw a lifeline to believers in the communist bloc. Tributes to Graham poured in from major leaders, with President Trump tweeting: “The GREAT Billy Graham is dead.

There was nobody like him! He will be missed by Christians and all religions.” Former President Barack Obama said Graham “gave hope and guidance to generations of Americans.” A tall man with swept-back hair, stark blue eyes and a firm jaw, Graham was a commanding presence in the pulpit, with a powerful baritone voice. “The Bible says,” was his catchphrase. His unquestioning belief in Scripture turned the gospel into a “rapier” in his hands, he said. Graham reached multitudes around the globe through public appearances and his pioneering use of prime-time telecasts, network radio, daily newspaper columns, evangelistic films and satellite TV hookups. By his final crusade in 2005 in New York City, he had preached in person to more than 210 million people. No evangelist is expected to have his level of influence again.

The Rev. Billy Graham was a counselor to U.S. presidents from Dwight Eisenhower to George W. Bush. Graham was especially close to Richard Nixon, above. Years after the fact, it came to light that in 1960, Graham had hosted a meeting of Protestant leaders to discuss ways to prevent the election of John F. Kennedy, Nixon’s Democratic opponent for the presidency that year and a Catholic. But Graham later spoke positively of Kennedy and said his election improved inter-religious understanding in the United States.

“William Franklin Graham Jr. can safely be regarded as the best who ever lived at what he did,” said William Martin, author of the Graham biography “A Prophet With Honor.” Born Nov. 7, 1918, on his family’s farm near Charlotte, N.C., Graham came from a fundamentalist background that expected true Bible-believers to stay clear of Christians with even the most minor differences over Scripture. But he came to reject that view for a more ecumenical approach. Ordained a Southern Baptist, he later joined a then-emerging movement called New Evangelicalism that abandoned the narrowness of fundamentalism. Fundamentalists excoriated him for his new direction and broke with him when he agreed to work with more liberal Christians in the 1950s. In 1957, he said, “I intend to go anywhere, sponsored by anybody, to preach the gospel of Christ.”

nation+world Knavses likely gained residency via process president aims to ban IMMIGRATION The parents of first lady Melania Trump have become legal permanent residents of the United States and are close to obtaining their citizenship, according to people familiar with their status, but their attorney declined to say how or when the couple gained their green cards. Viktor and Amalija Knavs, formerly of Slovenia, are living in the U.S. on green cards, according to Michael Wildes, an immigration attorney who represents the family. “I can confirm that Mrs. Trump’s

parents are both lawfully admitted to the United States as permanent residents,” he said. “The family, as they are not part of the administration, has asked that their privacy be respected, so I will not comment further on this matter.” Questions over the Knavses’ immigration status have escalated since Trump campaigned for the White House on a hardline anti-immigration agenda. Those questions grew sharper last month, when the president proposed ending the decades-long ability of U.S. citizens to sponsor their parents and siblings for legal residency in the United States. Trump has repeatedly blasted the policy as “chain migration.” In last month’s State of the Union, the president called that process

legal residency. But immigration experts said such a path is likely how his inlaws obtained the residency that permits them to live in the U.S. David Leopold, an immigration lawyer and a past president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said the first lady’s sponsorship of her parents appears to be the only reasonable way they would have obtained green cards, because the process currently gives preferential treatments to parents of a U.S. citizen. Leopold said: “That would be the logical way to do it, the preferred way to do it and possibly the only way to do it under the facts that I know.”

Trump suggests supporters should pressure Sessions to probe Obama’s response to Russian meddling

With the Olympics in full swing, it seems like everyone is sharing their cable passwords. Last year, research firm Parks Associates found that 16 percent of U.S. households with broadband admitted to borrowing video log-ins or sharing their own credentials. But is that sharing ... or stealing? Some companies consider this behavior stealing. “Charter believes that password sharing is a copyright infringement,” said a spokeswoman for America’s second-largest cable company. Most TV companies provide simultaneous streams to facilitate sharing. Some traditional cable companies say it’s for a single household only, with a Comcast spokeswoman defining it as “members of the family that share the same permanent residence,” adding that a child in college can be included. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings in 2016 called sharing passwords “something you have to learn to live with” because of family use. A spokeswoman for the Dish Network and its sister streaming service SlingTV said its focus is on too many simultaneous log-ins rather than “who is using an account.” Most people want to do the right thing, or at least the easy thing. HBO, for one, has focused on building a fan base. Other companies note that sharing passwords can be seen as a form of marketing. GEOFFREY A. FOWLER

Thousands of angry protesters call for ban on assault-style rifles

Spilling out wrenching tales of lost lives and stolen safety, students with quavering voices and parents shaking with anger appealed to President Trump on Wednesday to set politics aside and protect American schoolchildren from the scourge of gun violence. Trump listened intently as raw emotions reverberated at the White House. Faced with the personal anguish wrought by the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 dead, Trump pledged action, saying: “We don’t want others to go through the kind of pain you’ve been through.” He was faced with grieving families looking for answers. Few had concrete suggestions, but a few spoke in favor of raising age limits for buying assault weapons. Parkland student Samuel Zeif said he’s heard of 15-yearolds buying rifles. Cary Gruber, father of a Parkland student, implored Trump: “It’s not left and right,” adding: “If you can’t buy a beer, shouldn’t be able to buy a gun.” Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow was killed in the shooting, noted previous school massacres, saying the moment wasn’t about gun laws but about fixing the schools. “It should have been one school shooting and we should have fixed it, and I’m pissed. Because my daughter, I’m not going to see again,” Pollack said. Trump solicited suggestions and promised to be “very strong on background checks.” He also indicated interest in the idea of concealed weapons for trained teachers, saying it was something he would be looking at “very strongly.” More than 40 people assembled in the State Dining Room. Among the group were six students from Parkland, including the student body president, along with their parents. (AP)

In a wave of demonstrations reaching from Arizona to Maine, students at dozens of U.S. high schools walked out of class on Wednesday to protest gun violence and to honor the victims of last week’s deadly shooting in Florida. The protests spread from school to school as students shared plans for their demonstrations over social media. Many lasted 17 minutes in honor of the 17 people killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. Hundreds of students from Maryland schools ditched class to rally at the U.S. Capitol. Hundreds more filed out of their schools in cities from Chicago to Austin, Texas, around lunch. About 200 students at Dublin Scioto High School in Ohio sat outside in silence for 17 minutes and wrote notes of support that will be mailed to survivors of the shooting. “No child should have to go to school and be scared for their life,” said Daviyana Warren, a 15-year-old sophomore. Students said Wednesday’s protests were mostly impromptu and organized out of a sense of urgency to find solutions to gun violence. Some schools said students wouldn’t be punished for walking out, but some said students could face suspensions. Texas’ Needville Independent School District said students who left class would be suspended for three days. Daniel Gelillo, a senior at Richard Montgomery High in Rockville, Md., who helped organize the protest at the U.S. Capitol, said students were hoping to pressure lawmakers to finally act on gun control. He said that up to now, “nothing has quite fazed them.” “The Orlando shooting, Las Vegas and now Parkland,” he said. “Something has to happen.” (AP)

Thousands of protesters, including many angry teenagers, swarmed the Florida state Capitol on Wednesday, calling for changes to gun laws, a ban on assault-type weapons and improved care for the mentally ill. The normally staid Florida Statehouse filled with students, among them more than 100 survivors of the Feb. 14 attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. They held signs, chanted slogans and burst into lawmakers’ offices demanding to be heard. The teens were welcomed into the gun-friendly halls of power, but the students’ top goal — a ban on assault-style rifles such as the weapon used in the massacre — was taken off the table a day earlier, although more limited measures are still possible. Many protesters complained that lawmakers were not serious about reform, and they said they would oppose in future elections any legislator who accepts campaign contributions from the National Rifle Association. “We’ve spoke to only a few legislators and ... the most we’ve gotten out of them is, ‘We’ll keep you in our thoughts. You are so strong. You are so powerful,’ ” said Delaney Tarr, a senior at the high school. “We know what we want. We want gun reform. We want commonsense gun laws. ... We want change.” Outside the building, the crowd burst into chants of “Vote them out!” as speakers called for the removal of Republican lawmakers who refuse to address gun control issues. One sign read, “Remember the men who value the NRA over children’s lives” and then listed Republicans in Florida’s congressional delegation. Other signs said, “Kill the NRA, not our kids” and “These kids are braver than the GOP.” (AP)

SCHOOL SHOOTING In the aftermath of last week’s school shooting in Parkland, Fla., the most powerful testimonies have come from the teenagers who survived, many calling for stricter gun control laws while decrying President Trump for not doing enough to protect students. The students have become a mobilizing force unlike any seen after previous mass shootings, planning marches and rallies — all while mourning lost friends. They have also become a target of right-wing smears. An aide to a Florida legislator was fired Tuesday after claiming two survivors who spoke to CNN were not students, but “actors that travel to various cris[es].” While these claims have no basis, they spread quickly among right-wing commentators, though the students proved capable of defending themselves. “I am not a crisis actor. I’m somebody that had to witness this and live through this and I continue to have to do that,” 17-year-old Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School senior

Parkland teens face conspiracy theories about their activism

David Hogg, who survived the shooting, has responded to critics, stating, “I am not a crisis actor.”

David Hogg told CNN’s Anderson Cooper. Hogg, the high school’s student news director, has been among the most vocal students. But right-media websites such as Infowars called it a “peculiar coincidence” that his father is a retired FBI agent, as “the FBI has come under fire for not preventing the Parkland massacre.” Hogg continued on CNN, “The fact that some of the students at Stoneman Douglas High School ... are showing more maturity and political action than many of our elected officials is a testament to how disgusting and broken our political system is right now.” TRAVIS M.

WIZARDS AT CAVALIERS | 8 TONIGHT, TNT

Proceed with caution After All-Star break, fourth-seeded Wizards in danger of sliding in Eastern standings NBA After spending several days in Los Angeles for the All-Star Game, Bradley Beal might have been influenced by the city’s notorious traffic as he described the tight standings clogging up the Eastern Conference. Only 61/2 games separate the thirdseeded Cavaliers from the ninthseeded Pistons. The Wizards sit in fourth, a mere five games ahead of Detroit, which is currently out of playoff position. “We’re all there neck and neck,” Beal said. “After [the All-Star break] is where it really begins. Everybody has 24, 25 games left, so they’re going to fly by.” If his Wizards aren’t careful, they could be stuck on the wrong side of the standings come April.

Though Washington (33-24) has stayed afloat without John Wall, who underwent minor surgery on his left knee and will likely be out until the mid-March, the team is about to undertake its most challenging stretch of the season. The Wizards have the toughest remaining schedule in the East, according to BasketballReference.com. These final 25 games leave no room for error. The Wizards are just 11/2 games behind the resurgent Cavs, whom they visit tonight, but the Pacers, Bucks and 76ers are all within two games of Washington. While some jostling in the middle of the pack should be expected, the Wizards cannot afford a significant stumble. Only 31/2 games separate Washington

Waiting on Wall The Wizards hobbled into the All-Star break with only one true point guard, Tomas Satoransky, and the front office has taken its time exploring the possible addition of a veteran. John Wall has passed the three-week mark of his rehabilitation from minor knee surgery, but he said last weekend that he hadn’t started running and his recovery “might be longer” than the projected six to eight weeks. C.B.

from eighth-seeded Miami, which has one of the easiest remaining schedules in the East. The seventh-seeded 76ers have the easiest remaining schedule and carry a five-game win streak.

The final head-to-head matchups could determine playoff seeding, and Washington has already lost two of three to Philadelphia. The Wizards will host the surging 76ers on Sunday. The Wizards and Heat have split a pair of games this season with two remaining: March 6 and 10. Beal seemed undaunted by the importance of these regularseason matchups. The Wizards won seven of nine games before the break, and Beal could see them climbing in the standings. “It’s definitely going to come down to the playoffs,” Beal said. “It’s crazy because anybody can take it. But I’m confident in myself and my teammates that we’re going to be right there at the top.”

After a six-day break to accommodate All-Star festivities, the NBA resumes play tonight. Here are some of the most intriguing games on the schedule as teams gear up for the stretch run. (AP)

3 Clippers at Warriors 10:30 tonight, TNT

Golden State (44-14) is a loss away from tying its season high under coach Steve Kerr. The Warriors went 67-15 in both 2014-15 and 2016-17.

NBA’S BEST WIN STREAK

The consecutive wins for the Jazz entering the All-Star break, the best current streak in the league. During the past 11 games, rookie Donovan Mitchell, left, has averaged 21.3 points, and Utah has posted the best defensive rating — 97.7 points allowed per 100 possessions — in the NBA. Despite the streak, Utah (30-28) is outside the playoff picture in the 10th seed in the West, 1½ games back of the No. 8 Pelicans. (EXPRESS)

Dallas Mavericks owner ‘embarrassed’ by report of workplace misogyny DALLAS Responding Tuesday to a Sports Illustrated story alleging a “corrosive” workplace culture within his NBA team, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said he was “embarrassed” and vowed to fix the problem. The story detailed numerous allegations of sexual harassment and abuse as well as a failure to respond by team executives and human resources.

Based on claims made by former and current employees, including multiple women who asked not to be identified, SI wrote that Dallas had “a corporate culture rife with misogyny and predatory sexual behavior.” In a statement issued shortly before SI published its article, Cuban’s organization emphasized that Terdema Ussery, a former team president whose alleged behavior is at the center of the story, left the team three years ago. Ussery was accused of inappropriate language and behavior including propositioning

employees for sex and groping women’s legs during meetings. Professing ignorance, Cuban told SI, “It’s wrong. It’s abhorrent. It’s not a situation we condone.” Besides hiring an outside law firm to investigate, the Mavericks said they fired Buddy Pittman, their human resources director, and had fired a writer for the team website who “misled” the club about past domestic violence. “I’m embarrassed … that it happened under my ownership,” Cuban said, “and it needs to be fixed. Period. End of story.” DES BIELER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Women win historic gold for Team USA

Lindsey Vonn celebrates winning bronze in the downhill, her third Olympic medal in a career filled with injuries.

BARRY SVRLUGA | THE WASHINGTON POST

Legacy of longevity: Grit to keep going is Vonn’s great feat Her body still functions, and because her mind has never changed, she can still will all that scar tissue down a ski hill at harrowing speeds. But this is the end for Lindsey Vonn, at least in the Olympics. What it takes for her to slide into the start gate — a helmet on her head, a rod in her right arm, a reconstructed knee, scars she can’t count but no fear in her heart — we can’t comprehend. Vonn is the best female ski racer in history, full stop. At some point soon, we can discuss whether we can drop “female” from that description, shove Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark to the side and leave her atop that podium, alone. Vonn won a bronze medal Wednesday in the women’s downhill at the PyeongChang Olympics. At 33, she is the oldest woman to win an Olympic

medal in Alpine skiing. But that little stat feels two-dimensional. It doesn’t tell the depth of the story, which is familiar but remains inspiring. “It speaks for itself,” said Italy’s Sofia Goggia, who won gold in the downhill. “She has 140 or 130 [World Cup] podiums. Me, I have 20. She has 81 victories. I have four.” The numbers are the foundation of Vonn’s career, numbers that seem unattainable to anyone else who skied Wednesday. Vonn’s last race of these games, the combined, ended after Express’ deadline Wednesday night. It was unlikely that she would medal. But after the downhill, Vonn had more numbers: three Olympic medals, this downhill bronze to go with the gold she won eight years ago in Vancouver and a bronze in the super-G from the same games, when she said she was “on top of the world.” The places she has been

since. Wow. Broken bones, divorce, the missed 2014 Olympics with a bad knee. There might be parts of Wednesday’s run that Vonn could criticize, sections where she might have made up the 47 hundredths of a second she finished behind Goggia. But being there, that counted for something. “I’ve never thought of quitting because of an injury,” Vonn said. “But it’s taken its toll. And that’s why I can’t keep ski racing, you know?” She isn’t 21 anymore. All this stuff hardens you. “In skiracing age,” she said, “I’m over the hill.” And yet, while Mikaela Shiffrin and her responsive, 22-year-old body surged ahead to become the next American skiing icon, perhaps an all-time great, Vonn could have bailed. Instead, she went back to work. The downhill bronze is not what Vonn will take from these Olympics, not in two years or 20. What she will take is that she was here, that she joined Bode Miller and Julia Mancuso as the only threetime Alpine medalists in U.S. history. Miller and Mancuso are in South Korea, but they’re retired. Vonn, she still raced. Follow Barry Svrluga on Twitter @barrysvrluga

Women’s hockey: USA-Canada ended after Express’ deadline; Finland beat OAR for bronze

As she headed up the most grueling hill of her life in third place, Jessica Diggins thought that just winning an Olympic medal wasn’t good enough. She wanted gold. With team sprint teammate Kikkan Randall waiting at the finish line for her to bring home America’s first medal in women’s crosscountry skiing, Diggins let loose. She passed Norway’s Maiken Caspersen Falla on the last big downhill, then took dead aim at Sweden’s Stina Nilsson on the final 100-meter homestretch. Feeling “unstoppable,” Diggins blew by Nilsson to win the two-woman event. Randall, 35, tackled her partner in the snow. Bill Koch (silver in 1976) was the only other American to medal in cross-country. Diggins and Randall are the first to win gold. (AP)

She wondered if she had “choked” with the whole world watching. “How does it feel to have your lifelong dream slip away literally from your fingertips?” she wrote. “It sucks.” On Wednesday, Meyers Taylor, along with new teammate Lauren Gibbs, won another silver medal.

Russia was banned from these games in the wake of a doping scandal, but individual athletes are competing under the OAR banner. (TWP)

Grab a club and dodge the ghouls at Chantilly’s Monster Mini Golf GAMES This time of year, when most mini-golf courses are locked up until spring, salvation comes in the form of a huge ogre. The color of toxic waste, it presides over the indoor Monster Mini Golf in Chantilly, Va., where everything — the walls, the golf

balls and the monster-themed obstacles on each hole — glows like a psychedelic black-light poster. The mini-golf course full of fluorescent skulls and creepycrawlies is only one of the attractions at the business (14130 Sullyfield Circle, Suite G, Chantilly, Va.). Before you pick up a club (games are $11 for adults, $9 for kids), you walk past a large arcade; a laser maze race that requires players to limbo under laser beams; a few lanes of mini

bowling; and “Atomic Rush,” an interactive game played in a room of LED screens. Christina Vitagliano, who launched the first Monster Mini Golf in 2004 and grew the chain to nearly 30 locations across

North America, says that each location has a unique layout and tries to incorporate local elements: The Chantilly course has a mural featuring an image of Dave “Growl” of the “Flu Fighters” and one that commemorates

the Civil War Battle of Chantilly. The mini-golf course, covered with industrial carpet instead of the traditional AstroTurf, wins more plaudits for its colors, decorations and party vibes — courtesy of an in-house DJ — than the difficulty of its 18 holes. Most require aiming the ball against one wall to bank it off another while avoiding stationary hazards, though there are tunnels, a swinging grandfather clock pendulum and a loop-the-loop to putt through. Some of the holes are only about 30 feet long, while others are twice that. Though the course caters to kids, there’s no reason grownups won’t enjoy putting around the cartoonish monsters. Unless maybe you’re a-scared. FRITZ HAHN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Missed yesterday’s paper?

Right away, I would have a little snack. In my fridge I always try to keep some whitefish from Neopol Savory Smokery. I would have a slice of bread from Seylou Bakery with some whitefish — just like an open-face. I’d follow that up with a walk around the McMillan Reservoir. Our window looks out onto the grassy knoll that leads out the reservoir. It’s awesome — it’s a nice loop.

I would hop on my bike and go over to the Brookland Arts Walk, which is where my studio is, and get an espresso and a taco over at Fox Loves Taco. My favorite one is the Wham!, which is a poached egg taco. So I’d have one of those — thinking snacks here! Certainly I would say hello to my neighbors, like Stitch & Rivet, Rachel Pfeffer jewelry and Latela Art Gallery. I love the community here.

From there, I would hop back over to Eckington and go to Yang Market to grab some sandwiches. I’d get a few, of course — and would definitely make sure they’re cut in half so I could share ’em. Then I’d head to Crispus Attucks Park. I’d meet up with a bunch of friends and we’d have a draw date. Sometimes I’ll do blind contour drawings, where you don’t look at your page for a few minutes and you’re drawing and observing something and making marks on a page but not looking at the paper. I’ll do not just food-related things, but I’ll do observation drawings and color studies and more human forms. Someone from the draw date can bring something from RareSweets to the picnic, too. Moving on to early dinner: I love to check out new places. And I’ve been meaning to check out The Salt Line, because I’ve heard such great things. That would be the precursor to an evening in [Navy Yard], and I would go with my boyfriend, Christopher Graham. After that we’d head to a play at Arena Stage. We just went to this great play there about Nina Simone [“Nina Simone: Four Women”]. It was awesome. I went to a theater school when I was a kid. That’s not my art personally, but I love to go to theater. After that, I would go to The Hamilton and get their latenight sushi and a nightcap at their loft bar. They have a really amazing lineup of music down on the lower level, but they also book live music in this little annex bar. I love it. I don’t think a lot of people know about it, but it’s certainly like old D.C. And definitely we’d catch some live music there, for sure. Music’s important, too. (AS TOLD TO LORI McCUE)

Letting you in on the ground floor You can finally get a decent cup of coffee on the Mall. And some gelato while you’re at it. D.C.-based Dolcezza is opening a new shop as part of the redesigned lobby at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. That’s not the only thing that’s different about the gallery’s ground floor, which has undergone three months of renovations and opens to the public Friday. Japanese artist and architect Hiroshi Sugimoto, who conceived the lobby’s redesign, intended to create something that wasn’t just a stopover for visitors on their way to the gallery’s collections, but a welcoming space fit for relaxation. “Before, it was kind of chaotic,” Sugimoto says. “To serve the people we need a fresh space, something nice and clean.” One of the first steps was to remove the dark film that had been placed over the museum’s massive windows, meaning the light could finally come in. Now, “the environment is very nice,” Sugimoto says. “Nice design, air, space and light.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS) Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Independence Avenue and Seventh Street SW; redesigned lobby opens Fri., free.

Seats of change

Visitors to the revamped lobby are invited to sit, take a break and enjoy the free Wi-Fi. In addition to assorted benches, Sugimoto designed white chairs with backs that curve to match the bend of the building itself. “My design was how to make my furniture match, to echo with this building,” he says. 2

Setting up shop

It’s not every day that Sugimoto has to incorporate a business’s kiosk into a project, but he was up for the challenge. The 20-foot-long Dolcezza shop features tin and brass, with diamond patterns inspired by fireproofing techniques

used in 1930s Tokyo embossed into the metal. “In this case, I have a client. In my art, usually I am the client,” Sugimoto says. “But I have to serve the client’s needs, which I still enjoy.” The coffee bar will open at 8 a.m. on weekdays (two hours before the museum itself opens) and at 10 a.m. on weekends, and will also serve tea and pastries. 3

Tables with a view

Two glass-topped tables have been placed near the windows that look out into the inner courtyard of the Hirshhorn’s doughnut-shaped structure. Look down at the tables and in the reflection of the view from the courtyard, “you can see

the shape of the building. You can even see the sky, which is quite interesting,” Sugimoto says. “This curvature of the line and then the reflection of the building is perfectly matching. This is not my plan. It’s just a nice accident.” 4

Back to his roots

The bottoms of the tables are made from the roots of a 700-year-old Japanese nutmeg tree that Sugimoto acquired more than 10 years ago. “I kept thinking how to use this, thinking and thinking and never coming up with the perfect idea,” he says. “When I got the commission from the museum, instantly — wow, finally it’s time to use this material.”

Nimesh Patel has written jokes for “Saturday Night Live” and the Oscars.

Working his way to the writers room Nimesh Patel’s comedy chops are impressing ‘SNL’ — and his parents

TWO WEEKS ONLY FROM April 3 GET YOUR TICKETS NOW! ShakespeareTheatre.org

202.547.1122

COMEDY “I wanted Bobby Jindal to win for like two minutes,” Nimesh Patel joked at New York’s Comedy Cellar during the 2016 election season. “Not because I believe in his politics, but because I want a career on [‘Saturday Night Live’] and that’s the only way that was going to happen.” Turns out he was wrong. The presidential aspirations for the former Louisiana governor faded, but Patel made it on “SNL” anyway — as its first Indian-American writer.

“It’s funny how that worked out,” says Patel, who has written for the Oscars and last year’s president-less White House correspondents’ dinner. With “SNL” on break for the Winter Olympics, Patel, 32, has been on the road doing stand-up, which will bring him to the DC Improv this weekend. “On off-weeks, I can go out to do shows,” says Patel, who started touring more last year. “But during the on-weeks, usually I’ll just stay local and do spots at the Cellar.” Patel describes his comedy as half “political-social and the other half personal. I love performing in D.C. because the crowds tend to be smarter and

cognizant of what’s going on in the world as it is,” he says. “Because they’re smart, they’re willing to laugh at a lot more stuff, because they’re open to ideas.” Patel’s parents, however, weren’t so open to his idea of ditching a finance career for stand-up comedy eight years ago. “The stereotype of Indian parents wanting their kid to be a doctor or finance person was true, for me at least,” says Patel, who grew up in Parsippany, N.J. “Comedy wasn’t even a thing they thought could be a real job.” Patel graduated with a finance degree in 2008 but then quickly got bored at work. “I’ve never had a fear of being onstage, so in August 2009 I started stand-up and caught the bug.” He found jobs in the city that allowed him to gig at night. After Chris Rock caught a set in 2015, the comedian hired Patel to help write jokes for Rock’s Oscarhosting gig in 2016 — Patel’s first writing job. “Once I got the Oscars job, my parents were like, ‘OK, this could be something that’s real,’ ” Patel says. Looking back, he understands why his folks were initially so resistant: “There wasn’t a lot of visibility for brown comics for my parents’ generation when they got here, or even now.” Now, he says, “People like Hari Kondabolu, Aziz [Ansari], Hasan Minhaj, Mindy Kaling, Akaash Singh — and probably tons more that I don’t know about — are making inroads, and becoming visible faces and names for future comedy writers below us. “If some little Nimesh or somebody else in Parsippany, N.J., is having an argument with his mom and says, ‘Mom, I don’t want to be a doctor, I want to be a writer!’ and his mom is like, ‘No Indian comic has ever been a writer,’ he can say, ‘What are you talking about?’ ” Patel says. “I think it’s very cool to be part of that gang.” ROGER CATLIN (FOR EXPRESS)

weekendpass SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER

It’s the year 2028. A misogynistic, homophobic regime has taken over the United States. Silicon Valley moguls have persuaded the masses to carry devices that listen in on our conversations and track our every move. The only hope for change lies in a factious group of liberals — and their plans for resistance seem focused on acro-yoga and puppet shows. That’s the rather familiar world in which I found myself one recent Friday evening, when I went to see “Cabaret Rising,” a new theater experience from TBD Immersive that’s playing through March 4. Even the setting — Dupont Underground — seemed a little on-the-nose. The production designers have kitted out the abandoned trolley station with plywood towers and Christmas lights to make it look like the crumbling infrastructure of a once-great city, then populated it with lithe actors in Burning Man finery. I and at least a hundred other audience members, who paid $55 to $75 each, headed out to explore the world. (By the way, this column may contain spoilers. It’s hard to say for sure, since I never quite figured out the plot, and I’m not sure the actors knew it either.) The first character we met was a man in a long leather coat who seemed right out of “The Matrix.” But instead of offering us red and blue pills, he borrowed a conceit from “Fight Club.” “Listen very carefully to our rules. First of all, the

Underground doesn’t exist. Say that back to me,” he said. “The Underground doesn’t exist,” we replied. By the time a woman in a doctor’s coat appeared, I was sure I had the whole play figured out. “I bet this is a zombie thing,” I said. And then, as if on cue, several women in tattered white clothes shambled past. “What’s with them?” I asked the doctor. “Who? I don’t see anyone,” she said. “Are you feeling OK?” “We’re the only ones who can see them,” said another audience member. She introduced herself as Lynn, and we decided to team up for the night. The first space we entered had cocktail tables and a bulletin board covered in a hodgepodge of papers: family photos, some kid’s homework, a badge from the 2004 Democratic National Convention. As we perused the items, a woman dressed in trash told us to look for the secret code. Eventually, we found a small piece of paper that appeared to map letters to symbols, so we snapped a photo of it. The trash lady, thrilled we’d found a clue, directed us to go find someone named Gabriel, so Lynn and I made our way down the tunnel, asking every character we saw for clues — including a woman with a spectacular mohawk whom we interrupted mid-rant. “We teach our little girls to be quiet and polite. To smile, to be seen and not heard,” she said, gaining steam as she went. “We can make laws to change the system, but how do you change society? We burn it all down, and start a new one

from the ashes!” “Oh, no, we are stuck in a patriarchal society! I’ve never heard of such a thing,” Lynn said archly. Eventually, we found Gabriel, who was seated at a ramshackle junk-trading booth. “Have you seen these symbols anywhere?” I asked, showing him a picture of the code. “Where did you get that?” he said, seeming evasive. He was a good improviser, but it was clear he had no idea what we were talking about. “She’s a little crazy,” Gabriel said of the garbage lady. “I would take what she says with a grain of salt.” Our trail had gone cold, so we weren’t disappointed when we were herded, with the other audience members, into a section of the tunnel with a stage and chairs for the cabaret. What followed was a shambolic variety show, a playwithin-a-play put on by the

Pro tip: Don’t try too hard to figure out the plot of “Cabaret Rising.” Resistance — people who had been pushed underground by an oppressive regime known as the Republic. Some plot points emerged during the dialogue between the performances, but the acts themselves — juggling, puppetry and singing — had little to do with the play’s overall conceit. After the cabaret show, we audience members were let loose again for more exploring. By then, Lynn had lost her appetite for sleuthing. “I think I’m just going to take it all in,” she said. Wise choice. After 30 more minutes of talking to characters, I uncovered only the vaguest outline of a plot — one that seemed to be aiming for

an allegory about gentrification but also touched on health care reform, of all things. (It’s probably a safe bet that some of the people behind this show have day jobs in policy.) By the time the actors led us all back into the cabaret for another performance (and what turned out to be “Cabaret Rising’s” conclusion), I was desperate for clarity. Thankfully, a deus ex machina arrived in the form of one of the zombie-ghosts to helpfully tidy things up. A rousing speech from a Resistance leader capped things off. “May our joy be an act of resistance,” she said, holding up a drink. “To the Resistance!” responded the audience, mostly D.C. liberals, I’m assuming, happy to spend a few hours in a fantasy world where they’re not the ones doing the gentrifying, and where fighting for political change is sexy and fun.

After years of woes for the District’s jazz scene, the music is making a return in unexpected places

MUSIC Two years ago, D.C.’s jazz scene was reeling: Bohemian Caverns, a U Street landmark that had played host to Duke Ellington, Miles Davis and Ramsey Lewis, closed in March 2016, beset by financial problems. The grottolike basement was a central part of the city’s jazz community, and its demise was the culmination of years of bad news for local jazz. The Black Fox Lounge, Cafe Nema, U-topia and HR-57 had all disappeared. CapitalBop’s D.C. Jazz Loft, a series dedicated to stripped-down performances, was gentrified out of some venues. The restored Howard Theatre, where Ellington and Count

Basie played, cut most of its jazz programming amid financial woes, and the Atlas Performing Arts Center scaled back jazz performances. Now, after much hand-wringing about the state of local jazz, musicians are talking about Washington’s jazz clubs with a new sense of optimism. The scene has evolved significantly, with smaller venues in the District and the surrounding suburbs helping to fill the void left by Bohemian Caverns and other lost venues. Musicians are exploring opportunities beyond the usual hot spots, playing Saturday night gigs in the basement bar at the Graham hotel in Georgetown, or

taking the stage at Alice’s Jazz and Cultural Society, an all-ages, alcohol-free spot in Brookland. The scene is “more dispersed,” says Will Stephens, a drummer who runs the popular DC Jazz Jam at The Brixton, a freewheeling weekly session that attracts more than 20 performers in any given gathering. “But there are more venues and more opportunity.” Of course, the staples have never abandoned jazz. Last month, the Bohemian Caverns Jazz Orchestra marked the release of its new album, “Bohemiana” — featuring original songs and new arrangements by longtime pianist Dan Roberts

DC Jazz Festival 2018 This year’s DC Jazz Festival will include several venues and artists from June 8 to 17, but The Wharf will serve as a hub, home to four stages, including The Anthem.

if some musicians grumble that out-of-towners get better slots than locals. The Kennedy Center, under the leadership of Jason Moran, the artistic director for jazz, brings stellar talent to its KC Jazz Club. The Westminster Church in Southwest Washington continues to offer concerts and fish fries on Friday nights, as it has for two decades. But the Bohemian Caverns Jazz Orchestra is now playing venues as far-flung as THEARC in Southeast Washington and the Levine Music campus in Silver Spring, as a replacement for its long-running Monday night slot at the Caverns. “Everyone knew where to find us,” says

restaurant row. The venue rebooted itself last year to feel more like a jazz club and now brings in some of the area’s best young trios and quartets. Marvin, at 14th and U streets NW, home to popular DJ dance parties, began hosting live music on its first floor in November. Now jazz, R&B and funk acts — including the Elijah Jamal Balbed Quartet, Sin Miedo and Kris Funn — are featured on the small stage. The one downside for musicians is that the food and drinks can be as much of an attraction as the music. While musicians appreciate the exposure, Scott says, “a lot of the younger, emerging artists are not satisfied being background musicians.” MilkBoy ArtHouse in College Park, Md., finds room for jazz musicians as part of a monthly “visiting artist” series, amid its schedule of Sublime tribute bands and amateur comedy nights. Saxophonist Sarah Hughes, who performs at Sotto and other venues in the region, says she feels at home playing experimental jazz at Rhizome, an arts space in Takoma, which often has jazz-focused lineups. “I feel so supported by the people who book the space and by the audience who listens so very sensitively,” she says. Jazz lovers can still tune in to jam sessions Wednesdays at Mr. Henry’s on Capitol Hill or on Sundays in the cozy secondfloor bar at The Brixton. There, on any Sunday night, you might see nervous musicians taking the stage for the first time, then hear Scott trading host solos with well-known saxophonists Balbed and Fred Foss. Stephens, who launched the DC Jazz Jam at the now-closed Dahlak in 2009, says he sought to make the event “welcoming, whether you’re a student learning, or a hobbyist, or a performing musician.” Most musicians see such efforts as a sign that things are looking up. “It ebbs and flows,” says the Bohemian Caverns Jazz O r c h e s t r a ’s L i n d e . “ B u t it’s starting to come back.” FRITZ HAHN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘Mudbound’

Jason Mitchell, left, and Garrett Hedlund play World War II veterans in “Mudbound,” which gets screenings at AFI Silver on Sunday and Tuesday.

One day we as a moviegoing society will look back and wonder how in the name of little green apples “Mudbound” wasn’t nominated for every Oscar it could possibly get. Sure, it did get four nods, including ones for Mary J. Blige for best supporting actress and Rachel Morrison, the first woman EVER nominated for best cinematography. However, four is not enough. You can watch the film anytime on Netflix, but now you have a chance to see the story — about two families, one white and one black, and their experiences in post-WWII Mississippi — on the big screen. Go. See. Weep at its beauty and brutality. Then feel the Academy-snub rage flow through you. AFI Silver, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; Sun., 6:15 p.m., Tue., 7 p.m., $13.

Architecture & Design Film Festival The fun part of niche film festivals is just how niche they can be. The first Architecture & Design Film Festival to play D.C. launches Thursday, celebrating … buildings. Just kidding! There’s more to it than that. In addition to films about design, building to effect positive social change and icons in the architecture industry, there will be Q&As and panel discussions with filmmakers, subjects and experts, as well as an opportunity to watch two films that use virtual reality. The National Building Museum’s Great Hall will be transformed into a movie theater, which is a design feat all on its own. National Building Museum, 401 F St. NW; Thu.-Sun., various times, $15 per film ($125 for all-access pass); adfilmfest.com.

A year after George Harrison’s death in 2001, pal Eric Clapton organized a star-studded concert that makes other star-studded concert lineups look weak. On Tuesday, in celebration of Harrison’s 75th birthday (it would have been Sunday, but better late than never), you can see “Concert for George” in living color, if not actually live. Clapton appears in the documentary with musical luminaries Tom Petty (sniff), Ravi and Anoushka Shankar, and former Beatles buddies Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. While it may be true that all you need is love, great music is nice to have, too. Angelika Film Center, 2911 District Ave., Fairfax; Tue., 7:30 p.m., $14.50. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

‘Vanishing Traditions: Textiles and Treasures From Southwest China’

Diet Cig

The festival costumes of “Vanishing Traditions” are incredibly elaborate, colorful and endangered — the ancient craftsmanship behind these garments is falling by the wayside. This exhibit explores the traditions behind textiles from Chinese minority groups in dazzling detail, showcasing fabrics and jewelry that have been used in community celebrations for centuries. The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum, 701 21st St. NW; Sat. through July 9, $8 suggested donation.

Alex Luciano had never been in a band before she teamed up with drummer Noah Bowman to form Diet Cig, which specializes in two-minute, three-chord pop-punk explosions. On the duo’s debut album, “Swear I’m Good at This,” Luciano takes on the patriarchy, singing, “I don’t need a man to hold my hand/ And that’s just something you’ll never understand.” Rock and Roll Hotel, 1353 H St. NE; Wed., 8 p.m., $18.

Rhye: Rhye emerged in 2012, its down-tempo sophisti-pop elegance roused by a breathy, androgynous falsetto that drew comparisons to Sade and the xx. After building buzz by embracing anonymity, Rhye was revealed to be the work of Mike Milosh, above, a Canadian electronic musician, and Quadron’s Robin Hannibal (who has since left the band). The jig might be up, but Rhye is back with “Blood,” a marble-smooth album that inspires slow-motion dance parties (which you can participate in Monday at 9:30 Club).

Read up, before the movies

If your goal to read more books in 2018 is already losing steam, here’s an easy idea: Pick up one of these novels being adapted into a movie this year. Star power and special effects are bringing these stories of love, laughter and terror to the screen — and if you start now, you’ll be able to tell your friends which is better: the book or the film. NICOLE Y. CHUNG (THE WASHINGTON POST) ‘Annihilation’

‘Crazy Rich Asians’

By Jeff VanderMeer (2014)

By Kevin Kwan (2013)

Film release: Friday

Film release: Aug. 17

Cast: Natalie Portman, Gina Rodriguez, Oscar Isaac, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tessa Thompson

Cast: Constance Wu, Michelle Yeoh, Ken Jeong

Plot: A biologist sets out to discover what — or who — is ravaging a mysterious disaster zone.

Plot: When Rachel’s boyfriend takes her to a wedding in Singapore, she discovers he’s the sole heir to one of Asia’s wealthiest families.

Quick take on the book: A successfully creepy, gothic horror novel set in a not-too-distant future. The best bits turn your mind inside out.

Quick take on the book: The sort of well-written romantic drama, rooted in real challenges for the couple, on which the best rom-coms rely.

‘A Wrinkle in Time’

‘Where’d You Go, Bernadette’

By Madeleine L’Engle (1962)

By Maria Semple (2012)

Film release: March 9

Film release: Oct. 19

Cast: Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey, Mindy Kaling, Chris Pine, Zach Galifianakis

Cast: Cate Blanchett, Kristen Wiig, Judy Greer

Plot: Two siblings search the cosmos for their father, who disappeared doing scientific research.

Plot: Bernadette suffers from agoraphobia. When she disappears, it’s up to her daughter to find her.

Quick take on the book: Not the sort of book you were assigned in school. It’s one you found on your own, and read ferociously into the night.

Quick take on the book: Semple is such a talent that suspending disbelief becomes part of the fun. This is an inventive and very funny novel that gets bonus points for transcending form.

‘Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda’

‘The Hate U Give’

By Becky Albertalli (2015)

By Angie Thomas (2017)

Film release: March 16 (movie adaptation titled “Love, Simon”)

Film release: Not yet announced

Cast: Nick Robinson, Josh Duhamel, Tony Hale, Jennifer Garner, Katherine Langford Plot: High school gets even more complicated for 17-year-old Simon Spier when, after an email gets into the wrong hands, someone threatens to out him as gay before he’s ready.

Cast: Amandla Stenberg, Anthony Mackie, Common, Regina Hall, Issa Rae Plot: Starr Carter witnesses a police shooting and feels pressure to tell the truth of what happened. Quick take on the book: This important novel is fueled by vividly drawn characters and big themes of systemic racism and speaking truth to power.

‘Ready Player One’

‘Bel Canto’

By Ernest Cline (2011)

By Ann Patchett (2001)

Film release: March 29

Film release: Not yet announced

Cast: Tye Sheridan, Ben Mendelsohn, Simon Pegg

Cast: Julianne Moore, Christopher Lambert

Plot: In a midcentury dystopia, gamers across the globe hunt for Easter eggs hidden in a virtual reality platform after the game’s creator dies.

Plot: A famous opera singer is taken hostage when terrorists crash a party in South America attended by wealthy executives and politicians.

Quick take on the book: It’s less a novel, more a series of pop culture references glommed onto a thinly sketched out version of the monomyth.

Quick take on the book: Some vividly realized characters and a plot right out of modern headlines. Patchett’s psychological observations are intriguing.

Universal Pictures announces plans for “Jurassic World 3,” with June 2021 release

Joy strums up an intimate second album MUSIC REVIEW If ukuleles make their way back onto the pop charts, we can probably thank Vance Joy. The Australian singersongwriter delivers an exciting sophomore effort with “Nation of Two,” out Friday. This 13-track collection proves he isn’t too cool to play a little uke, banjo or even that guitar-ukulele hybrid known as a guitalele. The strummer, who broke out with his 2013 hit “Riptide,” links up this time with several veteran songwriters — including three tunes with Dave Bassett and three with Dan Wilson — for an album of personal love songs, all of which he either wrote or co-wrote. The clear standout is the alt-rock anthem “We’re Going Home,” but other beauties include the slow-burning “Alone With Me” and the achingly beautiful “I’m With You.” If you yearn for music by Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers and even early Ed Sheeran, these are your jams — earthy, folky and honest. Joy’s songs are not overly produced, allowing a little charming vocal strain every once in a while. Still, Joy’s co-writers tend to elevate his songs into something a bit more substantial, whether it’s with a brass section or strings. The four tunes he is credited with writing alone might be the weakest, but are also the most personal. This all adds up to an appealing album from an artist with a promising future.

AVIATION GIN

trending

@MARCUSMCFLY, reacting to the photo taken by an Associated Press photographer showing President Trump’s notes for his listening session Wednesday with students and families affected by the Parkland, Fla., shooting. The fifth item on the list reads: “I hear you.” @jefftiedrich reacted to the photo by tweeting: “Trump is a crisis actor.”

“Suede jacket — check. Leather armchair — check. Wood everywhere— check. Gin named after MANLY profession — check.”

“I love how people are saying these kids are actors. Have you *seen* a high school play?”

@BOBBYFINGER, tweeting about this super-manly image of Ryan Reynolds promoting the gin company that he recently bought, Aviation Gin. “I’m afraid that if I stare at this photo too long, it will start bullying me,” Finger also wrote at jezebel.com. Reynolds tweeted his announcement Wednesday, putting it in the context of “the long and in no way disastrous marriage of showbiz and alcohol.”

@THEREALDRATCH, actress Rachel Dratch, tweeting about the right-wing conspiracy theory that the high school students leading the push for gun control action after the Parkland, Fla., school shooting are paid actors. One of the students, Adam Alhanti, directly addressed the theory in a tweet: “Okay, you caught me. I’m a Crisis Actor brainwashed by the left. They chose me because I played Iago, Mr. Potato Head, and King Triton in camp musicals.”

“It’s a banana, Michael, how much could it cost? $10?” LINDSAY WILSON, commenting at buzzfeed.com, using a popular Lucille Bluth quote from “Arrested Development” to describe Bill Gates guessing grocery prices. While on Ellen DeGeneres’ show Wednesday, the billionaire tried to guess the prices of grocery store items. Gates, who said he hasn’t been to the grocery store in a long time, didn’t do so well. He thought Rice-A-Roni, which costs $1, might cost $5. He also guessed that a $20 container of Tide Pods might cost $4.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You aren’t likely to get as far today as you had hoped, but if you have to stop midway through you can surely make use of the time available to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You must tend to domestic affairs before anything else can really get done today; focus on someone who is not in sync with anyone else.

the middle of something you cannot fully explain, but others are willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.

TODAY: We switch back to winter, relatively speaking, as temperatures start the morning near 50, but spend most of the day in the mid- to upper 40s. Scattered light showers are possible as well. Showers could linger tonight, along with some fog or mist. Temperatures continue mostly steady under cloudy skies.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You

don’t want to leave anything undone today that should be completed with time to spare. You must be sure to tend to things in order. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’re likely to encounter someone who presents you with a challenge that intrigues you and frightens you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll want to get everything done and out of the way today before you immerse yourself in a personal issue that demands attention.

Jennifer Lawrence fired back at those online who said the couture dress she wore to a London photo call was inappropriate for the brisk outdoor weather. “That Versace dress was fabulous, you think I’m going to cover that gorgeous dress up with a coat and a scarf? I was outside for 5 minutes,” she wrote on Facebook. “This is sexist, this is ridiculous, this is not feminism. … Get a grip people.” (EXPRESS)

How about that?” (EXPRESS)

“One of my more baroque friends, when I was a teenager, called me ‘Willem’ — said with a flourish — and that kind of stuck.”

The “Real Housewives of New York City” cast members are reportedly thinking of suing Bravo, their network, after the women embarked on a disastrous cruise to Colombia for the reality show. Page Six first reported that the cruise “ended with the cast awash in vomit and fearing for their lives as their boat caught fire and started sinking,” and chaos ensued when they “realized they’d been booked onto an old, decrepit vessel.” A source said the women were so distraught that Bravo offered them counseling. However, Page Six also reported that their contracts with Bravo might make it difficult for the cast to file a lawsuit. A Bravo rep told Page Six that the network was conducting “a full investigation.” (EXPRESS)
