New York subway riders said a paint job just after the morning rush at a Brooklyn stop last week led to yellow footprints around the station and inside trains, UPI reported. Subway officials said the paint used to highlight the edge of the platform dried more slowly than expected because of unusually high humidity. “It’s a hazard,” said nursing aide Rosezena Brown-Matos, who pondered the potential for slip-and-fall lawsuits.

Relaxation within their grasp TRENDS The 32-year-old photographer from Virginia had a busy life, but he was single, and starving for physical contact. “I started to get to a place where if somebody started to greet me with a hug or even being in close proximity to someone, it was almost sort of a shocking feeling,” he said. And so he turned to one of the country’s newest professions: cuddling for hire. Once a week he paid $80 to be held, stroked and embraced for an hour in a nonsexual way. Like most people interviewed for this story, the man, Chuck, wanted only his first name used because paying to get cuddled can feel embarrassing — especially in less touchy-feely areas like Washington, D.C. While paying for touch may sound awkward or unnatural to those who get plenty of it from partners or other close connections, for some it is an antidote to a culture where casual physical contact seems elusive. The percentage of U.S. adults living without a spouse or partner has risen from 39 to 42 percent in the past 10 years, according to a recent Pew Research Center study. At the two-year-old website Cuddlist, which has trained about 400 professional cuddlers and connects clients to providers in the U.S., “Most clients are under some level of duress: anxiety, stress, loss or need,” said

co-founder Adam Lippin. The Cuddlist site has logged over 10,000 requests and lists dozens of providers. The West Coast and New York City are home to many, but the practice appears to be catching on more slowly in the D.C. area. “I don’t know that the [D.C.} area is the most progressive area in the world, and this is kind of woo-woo,” said Don Shanks, 61, a cuddler in California, Md. But Jasmine Siemon, 37, a cuddler in Germantown, Md., who was recently certified by Cuddlist, said there is a robust market in this area, from stressed-out college students to lonely empty-nesters. “They are all over — all ethnicities, all

backgrounds, expats, nationals.” Damien, a 39-year-old engineer in Alexandria, who is single, goes to Siemon every three months or so to relieve stress.

The professional nature makes him feel safe. “You don’t have a personal relationship with that person, which in some ways makes it easier being open with that person,” he said. “These services allow you to share things pertaining to you and not worry about it going any further or spreading to people you don’t know.” Meetings are not limited to touch. Clients can talk about almost anything during a session, though discussing sexual fantasies about the provider is off limits. But they can lean against the provider, or hold hands, or spoon while they talk. While massage therapy might seem to be the perfect way to fulfill the need for touch, nonsexual cuddling addresses a deeper, more emotional need, professional cuddlers say. “Massage therapy ethics are all about one-way touch,” said Annie Hopson, a Cuddlist provider in Ellicott City, Md., who is also a massage therapist. “There was not a way for [clients] to be OK with saying, ‘Could you hold me?’ ” For Chuck, the Virginia photographer, cuddling paid off in more ways than one. He is now in a relationship and no longer goes to a cuddler — but he says the sessions made it easier for him. “It made me more relaxed and carefree,” he said. “In dating you might be extra nervous if you haven’t been getting enough contact. … I wasn’t thinking about it because my [touch] needs were met already.” TARA BAHRAMPOUR (THE WASHINGTON POST)

TRANSPORTATION D.C. has abandoned a plan that would have imposed hefty operating fees and regulations on the operators of dockless bike and scooter systems. Instead, the city is extending — without changes — its pilot program for another four months, through August. The proposed regulations sought to govern how the private companies operate their services in the city, but the plan was criticized within the industry and by many in the biking community who said D.C.’s approach threatened efforts to grow bike and scooter travel. Amid the pressure, the District Department of Transportation abruptly dropped the plan that officials had previewed for advocates and business leaders as recently as Wednesday. Bike and scooter operators learned about the proposal April 19. “We are extending the program in its current form. No changes,” DDOT spokesman Terry L. Owens said late Thursday, a day after he had confirmed discussions of the new regulations and plans to unveil them as part of phase two of the pilot. The dockless bikes, which rent

D.C. was one of the first major cities to welcome the new technology, which has since grown exponentially across the country. The experiment with the appbased systems has boosted biking in segments of the population that didn’t use the region’s Capital Bikeshare system, among them younger, lower-income riders and people of color. But it also has ignited conflict as residents and other road users have complained about bikes and scooters left in parks, dumped along creeks, buildings and monuments, and left to block pedestrian access.

Smoking remains the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number one source of preventable death. We at JUUL have an innovative approach to smoker switching that can make a real impact. Our simple and convenient system incorporates temperature regulation to heat nicotine liquid and deliver smokers the satisfaction that they want without the combustion and the harm associated with it. From day one, our co-founders (both former smokers) have stressed the need for empathy, respect and optimism to smokers and their families. We want to disrupt the trillion-dollar global tobacco market and have a meaningful, positive impact on public health worldwide. We think that is within our reach. After years of technology development, in 2015 we introduced JUUL. More than one million adult smokers have already made the switch to JUUL, proof that our approach shows great promise. But we also face some major challenges and complications, including the fact that our product has become popular among teens.

The annual White House correspondents’ dinner was held Saturday at the Washington Hilton. President Trump didn’t attend for a second straight year.

MARGARET SULLIVAN | THE WASHINGTON POST

Canceling dinner: It’s time to stop the schmoozefest The 2018 White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner should be the last. It never has been a particularly good idea for journalists to don their fanciest clothes and cozy up to the people they cover, alongside Hollywood celebrities who have ventured to wonky Washington to join the fun. But in the current era, it’s become close to suicidal for the press’s credibility. Trust in the mainstream media is low, a new populism has caught fire all over the Western world, and President Trump constantly pounds the news media as a bunch of out-of-touch elites who don’t represent the interests of real Americans. The annual dinner — or at least the optics of it — seems to back him up. By holding a

campaign-style rally in Michigan on Saturday night, Trump got to look like a man of the people. Meanwhile, journalists were partying with their sources at the Washington Hilton. And Trump was more than happy to disparage them, just as he did when he declined the invitation to attend. “Why would I want to be stuck in a room with a bunch of fake news liberals who hate me?” he asked in an email invitation to his supporters. The reality is something quite different. Journalists do not present false stories. When they get something wrong, they correct it. They do their best to be impartial, and — contrary to what the president told his supporters — they aren’t out to get him but to merely cover him. They are not the opposition party.

They are simply trying to do their jobs of informing the public, a job often made difficult by the obfuscation from the briefing room podium and the president’s own lies. Journalists are trying to keep his administration and the Congress accountable to citizens. And the job of White House correspondent may be tougher than ever. “What was once one of the most prestigious gigs in journalism has become a daily slog” now that there’s no downtime in the Trump era, wrote Michael Calderone of Politico. But far from highlighting that hard work, this annual event sends the opposite message. And it encourages an unfortunate, false impression that the president loves to cultivate. The White House Correspondents’ Association no doubt has good intentions. Its annual dinner is meant to recognize excellent reporting and raise money for scholarships. But this festive night, always unseemly, is now downright counterproductive to good journalism’s goals. It only serves to reinforce the views of those who already hate the media elite. By Sunday morning, Fox News chief national correspondent Ed Henry was calling

for the WHCA to apologize to White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was in the audience as comedian Michelle Wolf skewered her: “She burns facts, and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Maybe she’s born with it; maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies.” A mini-dustup, at most, but more bad optics for the mainstream press — which doesn’t need them. “Unfortunately, I don’t think we advanced the cause of journalism tonight,” tweeted Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent for The New York Times. (The Times, for the most part, has not attended the event in recent years.) Happily, the dinner may be fizzling out of its own accord. Last year and this year, it felt downright subdued. Can’t the correspondents’ association come up with better ways to do its good work, ways that show journalists at their best? That they are in the trenches digging out the truth. Not schmoozing in the swamp while the president hustles the heartland. Follow Margaret Sullivan on Twitter @sulliview

Kim’s signs of goodwill After summit with South, leader of North Korea vows to dismantle nuclear test site Pompeo: U.S. backs Israel’s stance on Iran

Korea was building a separate uranium enrichment facility so it could continue to produce fissile material even without Yongbyon. Kim reportedly said while meeting with Moon that he had no intention of using nuclear weapons against neighboring countries. “Although I am inherently resistant toward America, people will see that I am not the kind of person who fires nukes at South Korea, the Pacific or America,” Kim said during the summit, Yoon told reporters Sunday. Just last year, Kim’s representatives and North Korean state media outlets repeatedly threatened to fire nuclear-tipped missiles at the U.S. and to detonate a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific. But this is a new year, and Kim — in a strong position having obtained demonstrably functional nuclear weapons and missiles — appears ready to deal.

POLITICS Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Sunday gave a warm boost of support to Israel in its standoff against Iran, saying, “The United States is with Israel in this fight.” Pompeo has been using the Middle East leg of his first trip abroad as America’s top diplomat to call for concerted international action to punish Iran for its missile programs. The tough line was welcomed in Israel, which considers Iran its greatest threat and has been leading calls for the international community to revise its 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. “We remain deeply concerned about Iran’s dangerous escalation of threats to Israel and the region, and Iran’s ambition to dominate the Middle East remains,” Pompeo said after meeting in Israel, above, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel has called for tough international action against Iran, citing its hostile rhetoric, support for anti-Israel militant groups and development of long-range missiles. Israel also has complained the 2015 nuclear deal does not do enough to prevent Iran from developing nuclearweapons capabilities, and has expressed concerns about Iran’s involvement in the civil war in neighboring Syria. Israel says it won’t let Iran establish a permanent military presence in Syria, fearing the Iranians would launch attacks from there.

KOREA SUMMIT PRESS POOL/AP

POLITICS The South Korean government, trying to keep up the momentum in diplomatic efforts to resolve the North Korean nuclear question, announced Sunday that the North would dismantle its main nuclear test site next month and that its leader, Kim Jong Un, was prepared to meet with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The South’s presidential Blue House also revealed a symbolic sign of goodwill from Kim: North Korea would move its clock forward a half-hour to return to the same time zone as Seoul and Tokyo. This came two days after a historic summit between South Korea’s Moon Jae-in and Kim, which resulted in a joint statement containing a vague agreement to work toward the “complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.” Kim pledged to dismantle the nuclear test site at Punggye-ri, in the north of his country, in May, a Blue House spokesman said Sunday. There have been reports that the test site, buried under Mount Mantap, was suffering from “tired mountain syndrome” and was unusable after September’s huge test, which caused an earthquake so big that satellites caught images of the mountain above the site actually moving. But numerous nuclear experts have cast doubt on that theory, and Kim apparently did, too. He said he would invite security experts and journalists to the North to observe the closure of the site, said Moon’s chief press secretary, Yoon Young-chan. In Washington, national security adviser John Bolton said the Trump administration isn’t “starry-eyed” about Kim’s promises. The United States, he said on

North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, left, and South Korea’s Moon Jae-in cross the border Friday in the demilitarized zone.

“Fox News Sunday,” isn’t ready to ease sanctions or offer other concessions to North Korea before Pyongyang fully commits to denuclearization. The White House, though, continues to prepare for a meeting between Trump and Kim, and Bolton said Sunday that the details are being negotiated. “We need to agree on a place, and that remains an issue,” he said. “But if, in fact, Kim has made a strategic decision to give up his entire nuclear weapons program, then I think deciding on the place and the date should be fairly easy.” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, in an interview with ABC on Sunday, also brought up the issue of three Americans who are being held by North Korea. This is not the first time North Korea has invited outside experts to witness the shutting down of some aspect of its nuclear program. In 2008, Pyongyang

End to Iran deal wouldn’t deter Kim, Pompeo says Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Sunday dismissed concerns that a decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal could derail nuclear negotiations with North Korea. “I don’t think Kim Jong Un is staring at the Iran deal and saying, ‘Oh, goodness, if they get out of that deal, I won’t talk to the Americans anymore,’ ” Pompeo told reporters. Potential talks with North Korea about abandoning its nuclear weapons had been expected to be an incentive for President Trump to stay in the Iran deal, so as not to make Kim distrustful of U.S. intentions.

Sprint, T-Mobile agree on $26.5B deal to merge

In a push for approval, companies stress plans to develop faster 5G

MARK LENNIHAN (AP)

BUSINESS T-Mobile and Sprint reached a $26.5 billion agreement Sunday to merge in a deal that would reshape the U.S. wireless landscape by reducing it to three major cellphone providers. The big unknown is whether the deal will win approval from the Trump administration’s antitrust regulators. The two companies have been considering a combination for years, but a 2014 attempt fell apart amid resistance from the Obama administration. Consumers worry a less crowded telecom field could result in higher prices, while workers unions are concerned about potential job losses. In a conference call with Wall Street analysts, Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure acknowledged that getting regulatory approval is “the elephant in the room,” and one of the first things the companies did after sending out the deal’s news release was to call Ajit Pai, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. The companies stressed that they plan to have more employees following the combination, particularly in rural areas, than they do as stand-alone companies. They also emphasized that the deal would help accelerate their

GRUESOME RITUAL

If approved by the Trump administration, a merger between T-Mobile and Sprint would reduce major U.S. cellphone providers to just three.

development of faster 5G wireless networks and ensure that the U.S. doesn’t cede leadership on the technology to China. And they said the combination would allow them to better compete not only with AT&T and Verizon but also with Comcast and others as the wireless, broadband and video industries converge. “This is going to be causing even more competition than this country has seen,” said T-Mobile CEO John Legere. He would be the CEO of the combined company, which will be called T-Mobile. The all-stock deal values each Sprint share at slightly more than 0.10 T-Mobile shares. Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile’s parent, would

own about 42 percent of the combined company. Japan’s SoftBank, which controls Sprint, would own 27 percent. The remainder would be held by the public. The companies said they expect the deal to close by the first half of 2019 and would result in about $6 billion in annual cost savings. The 5G aspirations are at the heart of the agreement, and the new technology could allow companies to provide faster service to peoples’ homes. Claure likened going from 4G to 5G to switching from black-and-white television to color. The combined company plans to invest up to $40 billion in its network in the first three years.

Archaeologists in northern Peru say they have found evidence of what could be the world’s largest single case of child sacrifice. The pre-Columbian burial site, known as Las Llamas, contains the skeletons of 140 children who were ages 5 to 14 when they were ritually sacrificed about 550 years ago, experts who led the excavation said Friday. The site, near the modern-day city of Trujillo, also contained the remains of 200 young llamas apparently sacrificed the same day. It is thought that the children were sacrificed as floods ravaged the Peruvian coastline. News of the findings was first published Thursday by National Geographic, which helped finance the investigation. (AP)

nation+world Buhari is first African president to visit the current administration WASHINGTON After more than a year in office, President Trump for the first time is hosting an African president at the White House today: Nigeria’s Muhammadu Buhari. Security and economic issues top the agenda for the bilateral meeting and working lunch. Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, is the largest economy on the continent and the leading crude oil exporter. Nigeria is also one of Africa’s most troubled countries when it comes to terrorism. Extremist group Boko Haram launched a

violent insurgency in the northeast nine years ago with the aim of creating an Islamic state, and tens of thousands of people have been killed. Buhari is expected to seek further U.S. assistance to defeat the group. The administration already has made a $600 million deal to supply military planes and security equipment. Buhari and Trump also will discuss promoting economic growth, Nigerian officials said. Nigerian newspapers report that a team of government officials who traveled to the U.S. ahead of Buhari have signed an agreement to provide four companies led by General Electric the opportunity to invest an estimated $2 billion to modernize key

Officials will also try to strike a deal with U.S. aircraft manufacturer Boeing for a new stateowned airline project that Nigeria’s junior aviation minister has said will be the largest in Africa. But Nigeria can’t overlook the difficult moments since Trump came to power. In January, Nigeria was one of many outraged African countries to summon the U.S. ambassador to explain Trump’s reported vulgar remarks likening the continent to a filthy toilet. Trump already had caused anger in June when he reportedly said Nigerians wouldn’t want to return to their “huts” if they were allowed to visit the United States.

TRANSPORTATION A report published last week by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety puts in chilling perspective the steady increase in fatal hitand-run crashes in the U.S. Fatal hit-and-runs reached the highest point on record in 2016, having increased by more than 7 percent every year since 2009, the report said. Nearly 65 percent of the victims were bicyclists and pedestrians. Some say that — beyond the growing number of bicycle commuters — fatal crash rates for bicyclists and pedestrians could be rising because more motorists are distracted drivers because of the ubiquity of smartphones. Safety advocates suggest that drivers can become so absorbed in their phones that they might not even be aware they have hit someone or driven a bicyclist off the road. An average of 682,000 hit-and-run crashes have been recorded every year since 2006, AAA said. In 2016, there were 2,049 deaths from such crashes, the highest on record. Ken McLeod, director of the League of American Bicyclists, said the report highlights the need to move quickly to overhaul streets and roadways with a priority on pedestrian and bicyclist safety. In the meantime, he called for better policing and more traffic cameras that would help law enforcement identify people who flee a crash. FREDRICK KUNKLE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

DRAFT REACTION

Redskins’ grades vary

Brett Connolly’s second-period score gave Washington a critical three-goal advantage.

Caps able to stay up late

NICK WASS (AP)

Most experts agree that grading any draft right after it happens is a premature exercise, but that doesn’t stop them from weighing in. Here’s how three outlets judged the Redskins’ draft. (EXPRESS)

C+ Sports Illustrated Andy Benoit wrote that firstround pick Da’Ron Payne will add value as a pass rusher and run stopper, but Benoit didn’t have much to say about the team’s lower-round picks.

Washington protects two-goal lead and ties series 1-1 before heading to Pittsburgh CAPITALS 4, PENGUINS 1 Amid the whipping towels and dinging cowbells at Capital One Arena, there was also an exhale. Capitals forward Brett Connolly scored on a partial breakaway, and the sight of the red goal light brought both joy and relief. Washington wouldn’t be squandering a two-goal lead, because the team was up by three. The Capitals ultimately won Game 2 by that margin, 4-1. With the next two games in Pittsburgh, the second-round Stanley Cup playoff series is tied 1-1. But after one period, the Capitals were in a familiar, uneasy position. For the second straight game, Washington was up 2-0. The team had squandered that kind of cushion three times in

its past seven playoff games, including Game 1 on Thursday. This time, Washington got that crucial third goal. Connolly’s wrist shot lifted the Capitals to a 3-0 lead 2:08 into the second period. Pittsburgh’s Kris Letang scored roughly 11 minutes later with a point shot while Braden Holtby, who collected 32 saves, had two layers of screens in front of him. Nicklas Backstrom added a goal with seven seconds left after Pittsburgh pulled its goalie. The Capitals caught a break before the game even started. Center Evgeni Malkin — Pittsburgh’s leading scorer this season with 42 goals and 56 assists — missed his second straight game with a lower-body injury.

No-goal helps Caps The Penguins seemed to have cut the deficit to 3-2 midway through the third period, when Patric Hornqvist jammed in a wraparound attempt by Sidney Crosby. Officials didn’t call it a goal on the ice, and a long video review followed. Braden Holtby had stopped the puck with his leg pad, but it was unclear whether the puck still had managed to cross the goal line. The review didn’t include a definitive replay, so the Penguins didn’t receive the tally, a big break for Washington. I.K.

A year ago, the Capitals lost the game Sidney Crosby missed with a concussion. The year before that, Letang was suspended

for a game, and the Caps didn’t win then, either. Washington took advantage this time behind another strong start. Less than two minutes into the game, Patric Hornqvist inadvertently passed the puck to Alex Ovechkin, who quickly shot it past Matt Murray’s glove for a 1-0 lead. Crosby was called for hooking 12:59 into the game, and with five seconds left in the power play, rookie Jakub Vrana maneuvered through three Pittsburgh sticks and beat Murray’s glove side. Vrana put Washington up by two. Rather than cling to that lead for dear life again, the Capitals got the all-important third goal to get the series tied. ISABELLE KHURSHUDYAN

NFL.com Included in Chad Reuter’s overall grade was an A- for Day 2, when a trade with the 49ers helped land RB Derrius Guice (Round 2) and OT Geron Christian (Round 3).

Wall calls for roster reboot Point guard singles out ‘older’ bigs, says players don’t know their roles

John Wall thinks the Wizards should search for “athletic” centers and more bench scorers after their first-round exit.

“When things are going well, everybody’s happy. ... But when things get rough, that’s when you really figure out who’s your brother,” Wall said. That statement put the focus back on Wall’s relationship with center Marcin Gortat, who has one year left on his contract. In February, Gortat tweeted about a “team” win during one of the 41 games that Wall missed while rehabilitating his knee. In subsequent national interviews, Wall rejected the idea that Washington played more as a team without him. On Saturday, Gortat said his rift with Wall was a media-driven controversy. When Wall specifically used Gortat’s name, he

mentioned him and Ian Mahinmi as “older” players who don’t fit the league’s trend toward pace and outside shooting. “We don’t really have an athletic big,” Wall said. Wall used the team’s seasonending loss Friday to highlight another weakness — lack of depth behind Porter. The wing missed Game 6 after undergoing minor hip surgery. Kelly Oubre Jr. scored just three points in his place, and Tomas Satoransky was forced to play out of position. Wall took his biggest parting shots when asked about the Wizards not being on the same page. “Some people don’t understand their roles, so if you don’t understand your role and you think you

deserve a bigger role, that’s not about to happen,” Wall said. “If you not built for it, why would you want to be put in that situation? But a lot of people say they want that pressure or that situation and then they get put in it and they act totally different. Don’t ask for something you can’t handle.” As Wall went on, he attacked teammates’ ability to handle constructive criticism. “You’re supposed to talk to your brother, you’re supposed to have arguments, you’re going to have fights ... but at times if you can’t talk to somebody because they always think it’s negative or taking it the wrong way, we’re going to have issues and problems.” CANDACE BUCKNER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

James, 33, had never played a Game 7 in an opening series. On Sunday, he scored 45 points with nine rebounds and seven assists, moving to 13-0 in the first round. The fourth-seeded Cavs will open the Eastern Conference semifinals Tuesday at No. 1 seed Toronto. Cavs center Tristan Thompson added 15 points and 10 rebounds in a rare start. Victor Oladipo scored 30 and Darren Collison had 23 for Indiana. (AP)

WIZARDS John Wall swaggered into Capital One Arena on Saturday afternoon dressed for summer. The day after the Raptors eliminated the Wizards in the first round of the playoffs, Washington players had exit interviews with coaches and officials. Wall showed up wearing a T-shirt and personalized mesh shorts with a message written in cursive across the front: “Wall Way.” If Wall truly had his way, the Wizards would return with a different look next season. Instead of replicating the roster responsible for a 43-39 finish and the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference, Wall would like team president Ernie Grunfeld to find athletic players in the frontcourt, stock up on small forwards and — most of all — sign guys who “really want to be here.” While the three max-contract players (Wall, Bradley Beal and Otto Porter Jr.) constitute the foundation, Wall suggested a makeover around the core. “If I’m doing my part, the other 14 guys on my team have to do their part at getting better every year,” Wall said, adding that, “Our problem at a lot of times is guys don’t understand their role and respect their role.” Although he did not name names, Wall pointed out the problem of fair-weather teammates.

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’s’ grim second season explores the afflictions of motherhood

TELEVISION Timeliness was “The Handmaid’s Tale’s” big draw last year, premiering a few months after President Trump took office. With half the country hyped up from hourly outrages and all too eager to envision a dark descent into American-style fascism, Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s novel hit just the right note between caution and paranoia. A raft of Emmys later, the much-awaited and worthy second season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” began streaming Wednesday, and it’s a relief to see that creator Bruce Miller and his writers are letting the show build on its merits, instead of turning its more relevant notes into an Emergency Broadcast System.

Watching “The Handmaid’s Tale” still won’t be anyone’s idea of a restful experience, but some of the sickening, panicked feelings have worn off. That may stir another realization for the viewer: We’ve grown accustomed to Gilead, a brutal theocracy that has replaced the United States. Elisabeth Moss resumes her unerring portrayal of June Osborne (known to her enslavers as Offred), who at the end of Season 1 stepped bravely into a black police van that was either taking her to her doom or toward a chance for escape. June’s story is an unfinished tale of resistance, first in subverting Gilead’s system of forcing fertile women to bear the children of the ruling class, and

$250M

A ‘Tale’ of two seasons What happens when you pick up where the book left off? That was the question for “The Handmaid’s Tale” showrunner Bruce Miller after Season 1 concluded at the end of Margaret Atwood’s novel. “When the book ends, you’re furious,” Miller says. “So you get this great benefit of saying, ‘Oh, I get to come up with what happens next.’ ” ELAHE IZADI (TWP)

now as a woman on the lam. A constant theme is the almost manic attention to the afflictions of motherhood. Gilead gained its revolutionary foothold just as the nation’s birthrate plummeted, and the fact that June is now carrying the child of Fred

Waterford (Joseph Fiennes), one of the architects of the new order, all but guarantees her safety. The baby in her womb is June’s only bargaining chip, but motherhood is also June’s greatest weakness, as she determinedly fixates on the condition and whereabouts of Hannah, the young daughter who was taken from her. As her tormentors have learned, the only way to effectively manipulate June is to dangle before her any hope or hint of Hannah. The theme begins to work at all sorts of crosspurposes and contradictions: Is motherhood the surest source of strength and security? Or is it a woman’s undoing, the key to the cage that keeps her compliant?

Secret agent man Sterling Archer is now a pilot in “Archer: Danger Island,” but he’s still a charming egomaniac.

MARC SILVER | BROADCAST MUSE

I spy something new: ‘Archer’ gets nuttier on ‘Danger Island’ “Archer,” the animated FXX series about a bunch of semicrazed secret agents (10 p.m. Wednesdays), is back for Season 9. But if you’ve watched in the past, you might not recognize the show at first. For starters, the character of Dr. Algernop Krieger, the oddball fake doctor who was raised by a former Nazi scientist, is now a snarky talking macaw named Crackers. The show has changed time and location as well, moving from the film noirish 1947 Los Angeles of Season 8 to the beautiful but perilous Pacific isle of Mitimotu in 1939. Hence the revamped title for this reboot:

“Archer: Danger Island.” Though the voice cast remains the same, the characters, like Krieger, have shifted, but in some cases only slightly: The titular Sterling Archer (H. Jon Benjamin) doesn’t seem to be a spy anymore. He’s now a pilot. But he is still a dissolute, egomaniacal yet improbably charming rogue. And his mother, Malory (the formidable Jessica Walter), is still one of TV’s meanest moms, a close cousin to self-absorbed, tippling Lucille Bluth, whom Walter portrayed on “Arrested Development.” In other cases, the show’s top-notch voice talent plays new characters (who may remind you of their old characters). Chris Parnell, formerly

of “Saturday Night Live,” is an uptight German whose last name sounds like a naughty word (Fuchs). The comedically gifted Judy Greer is the frantic, chocolate-gobbling heiress Charlotte Vandertunt, who has a one-night fling with Archer — during her honeymoon. This season, the gang goes off on nutty, nihilistic adventures that involve “extremely big lizards,” scary snakes and, to quote various characters, “a small native tribe that has had very limited experience with people from the outside world … except as food.” Watching the show is a guilty pleasure, kind of like reading a comic book under the covers with a flashlight, back in preelectronic device days, so your parents wouldn’t know. And like those cheesy comics, “Archer” is quite seductive. How can you resist dialogue like this: German man: “Ze frogs are poisonous?” His lover Princess Lanaluakalani: “Mildly.” Read Marc’s previous columns at washingtonpost.com/muse

A good friend gives you a pass today, allowing you to forgo a social engagement in order to indulge in a personal delight.

TODAY: Even with the earlymorning chill, spring will not be denied. Mostly sunny skies help morning temperatures rise quickly through the 40s and 50s, with afternoon highs reaching the upper 60s to low 70s. Skies are mostly clear, but an increasingly warmer air mass doesn’t lend itself to a big cool-down overnight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are in no mood to give a certain someone what he or she asks for today — but in the end, you may want to compromise to avoid a fight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’re not quite ready to mount a major effort today, which means you’re going to have to wait longer to receive the attendant rewards.

ENGAGEMENTS

Keeping up with Kanye is exhausting

Actress and singer Lea Michele announced her engagement to boyfriend Zandy Reich with a social media photo of a diamond ring on her finger and the word “Yes.” A rep said Saturday that Reich, president of clothing company AYR, proposed with a 4-carat elongated radiant cut ring that he helped design. They’ve been dating more than a year. Michele is currently gearing up for a tour with fellow “Glee” alumnus Darren Criss. (AP)

Kanye West has continued his flurry of activity on and off Twitter. He released two songs Friday: the nonsensical “Lift Yourself,” with the line “Poopy-di scoop”; and “Ye vs. the People,” where he and T.I. engage in a political debate. The next day, West tweeted that plastic surgeon Jan Adams, who operated on West’s mother, Donda, before she died of complications from the surgery in 2007, will grace the cover of his album due in June, called “Love Everyone.” Also Saturday, two days after getting into a public spat with John Legend over their views on President Trump, West posted a selfie of himself and Legend, captioned “Agree to disagree.” (EXPRESS)

Former MTV stars join forces in hopes of reboot

Kylie Jenner rented out Six Flags Magic Mountain in Santa Clarita, Calif., on Saturday for boyfriend Travis Scott’s birthday, Us Weekly reported. The rapper turns 26 today. The couple’s friends and family wore matching hoodies emblazoned with Scott’s birthday. His cake was shaped like a roller coaster and featured replicas of the couple with their daughter, Stormi.

Audrina Patridge and singer Ryan Cabrera, whose shortlived 2010 relationship was documented on MTV’s “The Hills,” are dating again, a source tells People. “They’ve been spending a lot of time together recently and are having a good time,” the source said. Patridge’s stylist shared an Instagram Story on Thursday that showed the pair together. Patridge filed for divorce from BMX biker Corey Bohan last year. (EXPRESS)
