Good news for salamanders SCIENCE An import moratorium, a kind of virtual wall, put in place last year to protect America’s salamanders from the scourge of possible disease seems to be working, according to a Smithsonian Institution report. The report, based on swabs taken from of the skin of pet salamanders, appears to show that the import curbs may have been imposed in time to keep America free of a deadly fungal ailment that has afflicted salamanders elsewhere. The study, published Friday by scientists with the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (SCBI), cited a 98.4 percent cut in imports of 201 salamander

Salamanders in the U.S. seem to be protected from a disease hurting the species in other countries.

species that could be carrying the disease. It appears that the ban may help shield America’s salamanders, regarded as ecologically important, from the pathogen, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal).

The disease it causes has proved pernicious elsewhere. The pathogen has been detected in the wild in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Vietnam, as well as in captive individuals in the United Kingdom and Germany.

With help from the Amphibian Survival Alliance, the Smithsonian said, a mailing went out to salamander owners in the United States. The material sent included a sampling kit and a video showing how to use it. The scientists said they got back 639 samples from 65 salamander species. None, they said, showed evidence of the disease. The new study is regarded as a counterpart to SCBI’s continuing test of salamanders in the wild, the Smithsonian said. It said those tests have shown that wild salamanders also appear to be free of the pathogen. Brian Gratwicke, an SCBI amphibian conservation biologist and a senior author of the paper, said the study “is good news for native salamanders, especially in the Appalachian region — a salamander biodiversity hot spot.” MARTIN WEIL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

PARKING SPOTS AT THE ZOO

The approximate number of parking spots that would be available at the National Zoo if it goes ahead with a plan to build a six-story parking garage for $50 million. The proposal unveiled last month from an old plan would consolidate four of the zoo’s five surface parking lots into a single garage and repurpose those spaces for new animal habitats and stormwater management. The project would free up at least two acres of space for new habitats. Right now, the zoo has about 880 parking spots. (TWP)

Bill addresses sex work in D.C. THE DISTRICT Most of the times Laya Monarez sold sex in the District, she said things went smoothly: She got money to pay her rent, and her customers got what they wanted. It is the times that turned violent, though, that stick with Monarez, 35, who is now an LGBT activist and artist. Once, a man in the District picked her up in his car and refused to pay her. When she tried to leave the car, he stabbed her. When she jumped out of the car, he tried to run her over. She escaped but didn’t report the attack to police, fearing they would arrest her for prostitution. A new bill to decriminalize sex work in the District would make sex workers — many of whom are victims of violent crimes — more comfortable reporting those crimes to police, Monarez said. The bill, introduced by D.C. Council members David Grosso, I-At Large, and Robert C. White

“The thing that I admire about Ralph — you can feel it, you can taste it — is the authenticity.”

DUDLEY M. BROOKS

Decriminalization of prostitution wouldn’t make it legal for buyers

Jr., D-At Large, would make the District the only U.S. jurisdiction to decriminalize prostitution outside of some areas in Nevada, where legal brothels exist. Activists say the bill would also make it easier for sex workers to find other jobs and housing because they would not have prostitution-related arrests on their records. “This is about protecting the human rights of our residents,” said Grosso, a progressive council member who also led the push to decriminalize marijuana in the District. “Arresting our way through this has never worked.” Monarez, who grew up in Fairfax County, said that if sex work were decriminalized, workers also would feel more comfortable reporting minors and other victims of trafficking to police. Coercing people to engage in sex work against their will would remain illegal, as would any prostitution involving minors. The bill, introduced last week, is supported by the Sex Worker Advocates Coalition, WhitmanWalker Health and the American Civil Liberties Union of D.C.

In this file photo, a sex worker is arrested in D.C. A bill introduced in the City Council that would decriminalize sex work has drawn mixed reactions.

But not all advocates support Grosso’s approach. Tina Frundt, a victim of sex trafficking who now runs a program that helps young people escape their traffickers, said decriminalizing sex work would make it easier for pimps to open brothels without fearing intervention from police. “If it’s decriminalized, how are they going to differentiate between the good guys and the bad guys?” she said. “How is this going to be regulated?” Unlike in the Netherlands, where prostitution is legal and regulated, sex work would be decriminalized but not legalized, meaning that it would not “bring

with it a burdensome regulatory scheme that would criminalize those who do not comply,” Grosso’s office said. The bill would create a task force to study the effects of decriminalization and make any additional recommendations, Grosso’s office said. Grosso said the District did not opt for the “Nordic model” — selling sex is legal but buying sex is illegal in many countries in Northern Europe — because it still means that sex workers are operating in “the shadows.” “We have to get it out of the shadows and to change the way we talk about it,” Grosso said.

local ALEXANDRIA Alexandria’s City Council is considering whether to pull the plug on one of the region’s most popular water parks, which draws more than 100,000 customers every summer. A citizen advisory group said the city, which faces a tight budget, looming capital costs and growing demands for athletic fields and facilities, could generate revenue and serve its own residents better by replacing Great Waves Waterpark with a year-round indoor or outdoor recreational facility.

The council last year asked its Park and Recreation Commission, an advisory panel made up of citizens, to look into whether another 40-year lease to the regional parks authority to operate Great Waves Waterpark was the best use of the city’s 26-acre Cameron Run property. The panel concluded that the current lease, which expires in June 2021, “is not in the best interests of the city of Alexandria.” With recreational space already scarce, Alexandria’s parks commission said the Cameron Run land could be better used as

a year-round indoor complex or outdoor fields, playing courts and trails, which would generate revenue for the city from user fees. The city pays about $664,000 in annual dues to the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority. Cameron Run is one of the authority’s biggest moneymakers, generating about $700,000 beyond its operating costs, which helps support the authority’s 32 parks, golf courses and other sites, including the historic Carlyle House in Alexandria.

State among worst in U.S. in nursing home oversight

Maryland proposes rules for sale of pollution credits

A Prince William County teenager who went missing overnight, and was said to be in “extreme danger,” was found safe Sunday in the Woodbridge, Va., area, along with the man suspected of abducting her, authorities said. An Amber Alert had been activated for 16-year-old Sinahi Aguilar-Cruz after police said she was likely abducted by 21-yearold Roberto Medrano Segovia in the Woodbridge area. Authorities later found the girl safe along with Segovia and canceled the Amber Alert, police said. Police continue to investigate the circumstances of the girl’s disappearance.

Maryland failed to investigate nearly 650 allegations of harm at Maryland nursing homes within a required 10-day window, meaning the state missed the federal deadline 74 percent of the time, the inspector general for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reported. Maryland ranked seventh-worst in the nation for timely investigations of high-level complaints, according to a Baltimore Sun analysis of the report’s data. The Maryland Health Department wrote last year that it takes 47 days — presumably, on average — to initiate an on-site investigation. (AP)

The Maryland Department of the Environment has drawn up regulations that will guide how companies, local governments and property owners that exceed water quality improvement goals can earn credits that in turn can be sold to others that are struggling to meet environmental benchmarks. Maryland and other states in the Chesapeake Bay watershed are required by federal law to reduce pollution. The trading of water quality credits addresses one of the issues to restoring the bay’s health — that some cleanup projects are much more expensive than others.

People were being allowed to go back home in areas no longer in harm’s way, and the number of those under evacuation orders was down to 75,000 from nearly 100,000 the day before. Fire crews were able to gain ground because the winds that had fanned the flames did not kick up overnight as much as feared.

Officials say some of the fires that have devastated California wine country are 50 percent or more contained, a sign they have “turned a corner.“

“Conditions have drastically changed from just 24 hours ago, and that is definitely a very good sign,” said Daniel Berlant, spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, who noted that some of the fires were 50 percent or more contained. “It’s probably a sign we’ve turned a corner on these fires.”

The blazes have been blamed for at least 40 deaths and destroyed an estimated 5,700 homes and other structures. The death toll could climb as searchers dig through the ruins for people listed as missing. Hundreds were unaccounted for, though authorities said many of them are probably safe but haven’t let anyone know.

Massive blast hits Somalia At least 276 dead after bomb gouges capital in nation’s deadliest attack

Somali men carry the body of a victim in Mogadishu on Sunday.

MOHAMED ABDIWAHAB (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

MOGADISHU, SOMALIA The most powerful bomb blast ever witnessed in Somalia’s capital killed at least 276 people and injured around 300 others, the country’s information minister said early Monday, making it the deadliest single attack in this Horn of Africa nation. In a tweet, the information minister, Abdirahman Osman, called Saturday’s attack “barbaric” and said countries including Turkey and Kenya had already offered to send medical aid. Hospitals were overwhelmed on Sunday, a day after a truck bomb targeted a crowded street near key government ministries. As angry protesters gathered near the scene of the attack, Somalia’s government blamed the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab extremist group for what it called a “national disaster.” However, the group, which often targets high-profile areas of the capital, had yet to comment. Al-Shabab earlier this year vowed to step up attacks after both the Trump administration and Somalia’s recently elected president announced new military efforts against the group. The Mogadishu bombing is one of the deadliest attacks in subSaharan Africa, larger than the U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998.

families wandered in the rubble of buildings, looking for missing relatives. “In our 10 year experience as the first responder in #Mogadishu, we haven’t seen anything like this,” the Aamin Ambulance service tweeted. Grief overwhelmed many. “There’s nothing I can say. We have lost everything,” wept

Zainab Sharif, a mother of four who lost her husband. She sat outside a hospital where he was pronounced dead. The country’s Somali-American leader, President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, declared three days of mourning and joined thousands of people who responded to a desperate plea by hospitals to donate blood. Mogadishu, a city long accustomed to deadly bombings by al-Shabab, was stunned by the force of the blast. The explosion hit hard an impoverished country left fragile by decades of conflict, and it again raised doubts about the government’s ability to secure the seaside city of more than 2 million people. “They don’t care about the lives of Somali people, mothers, fathers and children,” Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire said of the attackers. “They have targeted the most populated area in Mogadishu, killing only civilians.” Rescue workers searched for survivors trapped under the rubble of the Safari Hotel, near Somalia’s foreign ministry. The explosion blew off metal gates and blast walls outside the hotel. The United States condemned the bombing, saying, “Such cowardly attacks reinvigorate the commitment of the United States to assist our Somali and African Union partners to combat the scourge of terrorism.” The U.S. military has stepped up drone strikes and other efforts this year against al-Shabab, which is also fighting the Somali military.

Flynt made the offer in a full-page ad in the Sunday edition of The Washington Post, giving a long list of reasons why he believes Trump is unfit for the presidency. The White House did not release a comment. Flynt has made similar offers in the past, seeking damaging information about other politicians, including Trump during the 2016 campaign.

Police checking new Weinstein assault claims EUROPE British police are investigating three new allegations of sexual assault against film producer Harvey Weinstein, all made by the same woman. In the new allegations, London’s Metropolitan Police force said Sunday that the woman reported being assaulted in London in 2010, 2011 and 2015. The force said officers from its Child Abuse and Sexual Offenses Command are investigating. The woman’s name has not been made public. The force also did not name Weinstein, but it said the allegations involve a man against whom another accusation was made Wednesday. That alleged assault — reported to have taken place in west London during the late ‘80s — also is being investigated. British actress Lysette Anthony, 54, told police on Wednesday that Weinstein raped her in her west London home in the late 1980s. She told the Sunday Times newspaper that she felt “disgusted and embarrassed” after the attack. In another blow to the former Hollywood titan, who was ejected from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Saturday, French President Emmanuel Macron said Sunday that he had “started the procedures” to rescind Weinstein’s Legion of Honor award. Rescinding the honor is rare, although it also happened to disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong. JILL LAWLESS (AP)

Governing by disruption

BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

Trump’s aides insist Iran deal needs changes

Last week epitomized Trump’s leadership style — making gut decisions that cater to his political base ANALYSIS Nine months into his first term, President Trump is perfecting a style of leadership commensurate with his campaign promise to disrupt business as usual in Washington. Call it governing by cattle prod. It is a tactic born of frustration and dissatisfaction. Its impact has been to overload the circuits of government — from Capitol Hill to the White House to the Pentagon to the State Department and beyond. The permanent campaign has long been a staple of politics in this country, the idea that running for office never stops and that decisions are shaped by what will help one candidate or another, one party or another, win the next election. Absent demonstrable achievements, Trump reverts to what worked during the campaign, which is to depend on his own instincts and to press the hot buttons that roused his voters in 2016. As president, he has never tried seriously to reach beyond that base. The past week was a perfect example of the Trump school of

governing. Start with the end of the week. In rapid succession between late Thursday and midday Friday, he took steps to break the Affordable Care Act and then potentially end the Iran nuclear agreement. These moves will earn him accolades from the people who supported his candidacy last year, which might be the principal objective. But neither action solved a problem. It will be left to others to do that, if they can. Those were only two of the moments that defined the president’s disruptive style of leadership in just one week. It was, after all, just over a week ago that the president started a Twitter war with Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn. It was also within that week that the president, with an assist from Vice President Pence, escalated and perhaps seized the advantage in his feud with professional football players who kneel during the national anthem. Amid outrage from his critics, Trump has managed to turn an issue that once was about police

AFFECTED BY ACA DECISION

The number of Americans benefiting from a provision of the Affordable Care Act that President Trump last week announced he’s ending. The decision helps fulfill a campaign promise, but it also risks harming some of the very people who helped him win the presidency. Nearly 70 percent of those benefiting from cost-sharing subsidies live in states Trump won last November, according to an AP analysis. (AP)

violence in minority communities into a cultural battle about patriotism, the flag and pride in the military. His critics are now on the defensive. Hours before the steps he took on health care, he lashed out again at critics of his handling of the hurricane cleanup in Puerto Rico, tweeting that he would cut back the federal response. Like many of his tweets, it is no doubt an idle threat, but one

nonetheless designed to give a jolt of displeasure to the status quo. There’s little doubt that part of Trump’s motivation is to undo what former President Barack Obama did. Trump campaigned against Obamacare, although his prescriptions for what should replace it lacked consistency or, for that matter, clear alternatives. He railed against the Iran nuclear deal and now is trying to undo it despite the fact that all relevant parties say the Iranians are adhering to its terms. Trump prefers to look past that history. He wants his supporters to believe that he is trying to fulfill his campaign promises in the face of resistance from entrenched powers. If it doesn’t get done, pin the blame on others. It’s still the president vs. the swamp. The president has proved himself capable and willing to start controversies and policy confrontations. That’s what being a disrupter is all about. But there is more to the presidency than initiating conflict, and on that measure, Trump has much to prove. DAN BALZ (THE WASHINGTON POST)

NATIONAL SECURITY The Trump administration will remain in the international nuclear deal with Iran for now, top national security aides said Sunday, a message of reassurance after allies, lawmakers and the Iranian regime criticized President Trump’s decision to set conditions on further U.S. participation. Trump’s national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, said that the president’s threat to cancel the Iran deal “set out a marker” for the U.S. and its allies to fix what he called “a weak deal that is being weakly monitored.” “One of the real problems with this deal is we can’t really say with confidence that they’re complying,” McMaster, above, said on “Fox News Sunday,” claiming Iran “walked up to the line” and “crossed the line several times in terms of the restrictions.” McMaster insisted that “the president is not walking away from the deal yet” and wants to see “some real change.” Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the president’s action on Iran is a “signal” to Congress and the other signers of the agreement, including Iran. “If we don’t see improvement, … he has every intention of walking out,” Tillerson said on “Face the Nation” on CBS. The action Friday puts the onus on Congress to decide what to do next, including attempting to add provisions that would satisfy U.S. concerns, Tillerson said.

Cornerback Kendall Fuller, center, waves goodbye to the 49ers after intercepting San Francisco rookie C.J. Beathard in the final seconds of the game.

Pick seals ugly win 26

WASHINGTON’S WIN SHOULD NEVER HAVE TURNED INTO A NAIL-BITER. But the Redskins faced a po-

tential upset Sunday at FedEx Field after surrendering a 17-point lead and allowing rookie quarterback C.J. Beathard (245 yards passing, 1 TD, 1 INT) to tie the score. All the outmatched 49ers

needed was a field goal to win. On a fourth-and-20 from midfield, Beathard — who replaced Brian Hoyer shortly before halftime — heaved a deep throw that could have set up such a kick. Kendall Fuller intercepted it instead, preserving a 26-24 victory that lifted the Redskins to 3-2 and pushed the 49ers to 0-6 but raised questions about Washington’s ability to close games. LIZ CLARKE (THE WASHINGTON POST) WORST HEARTBREAK: The loss was San Francisco’s fifth in a row by three points or fewer, an NFL record.

BEST PENALTY: San Francisco forced a three-and-out and got the ball back with 52 seconds left. Pierre Garcon converted a third down with an incredible catch on a tipped pass near the sideline, but two plays later, he was called for offensive pass interference. The 10-yard penalty took the 49ers out of field goal range.

PABLO MARTINEZ MONSIVAIS (AP)

WORST DEFENSE: After a 7-yard touchdown run by Kirk Cousins gave Washington a 26-17 lead with 3:28 remaining, the only question remaining seemed to be whether Washington would cover the doubledigit point spread. Instead, Beathard capped a six-play, 75-yard drive with a 45-yard TD pass to former Redskins wideout Aldrick Robinson.

Samaje Perine scores his first NFL touchdown to put the Redskins up 14-0. WORST INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE:

The 49ers tied the game at 17 late in the third quarter on a 1-yard run by Carlos Hyde. The touchdown came one play after Jimmie Ward returned a Vernon Davis fumble 43 yards. The play was ruled a fumble

on the field, and while officials ultimately decided there wasn’t conclusive evidence to overturn the call, it sure looked like Davis’ elbow was down before he lost the ball. BEST RED ZONE CATCH: Redskins

Game 2 of NLCS between Dodgers and Cubs in L.A. ended after Express’ deadline Sunday

rookie running back Samaje Perine had only two catches in four games this season after catching just 40 passes in three years at Oklahoma. His first NFL touchdown came on a 3-yard swing pass from Kirk Cousins to give the Redskins a 14-0 lead in the second quarter after Josh Doctson scored on an 11-yard catch on the opening drive. BEST BACK: With Rob Kelley inactive, Chris Thompson had a heavier workload and responded with 118 yards from scrimmage in the first half. Few teams use the screen pass more effectively than the Redskins do with Thompson, who finished with four catches for 105 yards and 16 carries for 33 yards. SCOTT ALLEN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE TAKEAWAY

Kirk Cousins, 49ers show their cards Kyle Shanahan came to FedEx Field and made a symbolic pitch to Kirk Cousins, the Redskins’ quarterback who studied under Shanahan for two years in Washington and may finally hit the open market next year. By benching Brian Hoyer for rookie C.J. Beathard when the 49ers trailed 17-0, Shanahan showed Cousins how much he could use his help. By deploying punishing runner Carlos Hyde (two touchdowns) and showcasing a defensive line with young cornerstones in Solomon Thomas and DeForest Buckner, Shanahan showed Cousins the 49ers are competitive. And a typical Cousins game — 330 yards passing and three total touchdowns with a pick and a missed chance in the red zone — showed he’s nothing if not consistent. GABE HIATT (EXPRESS)

Skipper wants to return for a third season but might not be re-signed MLB After another abrupt ending to the playoffs, Dusty Baker made his way through the Nationals’ clubhouse in the wee hours Friday morning to bid farewell to his players. He got to Matt Albers, and they hugged. “Hell of a year,” the manger

told the relief pitcher, a spring training invitee who pitched a perfect fourth inning in Washington’s Game 5 loss to the Cubs. In many ways, it was a hell of a year for Baker, too. The Nationals overcame a series of injuries to win 97 games and a second straight NL East title under Baker. He moved into 14th on the managerial career wins list. But Baker, 68, now has lost 10 straight games with a chance to advance in the postseason. A

Baker has unclear future with Nats Dusty Baker’s teams have lost 10 straight playoff games with a chance to advance.

World Series title still eludes him after 22 seasons as manager, and he isn’t under contract for 2018. Throughout this season, Baker repeated he wants to return next year, and Nationals officials repeated they wanted him back.

Thursday’s excruciating defeat have flipped Baker’s fortunes? After Thursday’s loss, a few players were asked if they wanted Baker back in 2018. The answers ranged from no comment to ringing endorsement. “That decision is made from up top,” right fielder Bryce Harper said. “I don’t want to comment on that, really.” Shortstop Trea Turner said he’d “love to have” Baker back, but that it’s not his decision. The Nationals are poised to make another run at a World Series next year — Harper’s final season before free agency. For now, it’s unclear if Baker will lead them.

MUST-SEE THIS WEEK

1 ‘1922’ Friday on Netflix

Floyd Mooney (Jay Pharoah) is laughing on the inside.

Sacrifice for laughs ‘White Famous’ shows what black comedians must face in Hollywood TELEVISION To wear the dress, or to not wear the dress? It’s a question black male comedic actors have grappled with publicly and privately for generations, and one that Floyd Mooney immediately faces in Showtime’s “White Famous.” The comedy series, which debuted Sunday, follows a popular black stand-up comic, played by Jay Pharoah, confronting what it takes to appeal to a mainstream audience — you know, getting “white famous.” For instance, Mooney has a chance at a project that would

help propel him beyond the comedy club circuit — but he’s asked to play a woman to get laughs. Although loosely based on the experiences of executive producer Jamie Foxx, Floyd is somewhat mirrored by Pharoah, too. “I felt like I connected with Floyd Mooney immediately,” the stand-up comic and “Saturday Night Live” veteran says. Hailing from Chesapeake, Va., Pharoah, 30, has been performing since he was a teen and toured with comics such as Charlie Murphy before joining “SNL” in 2010. “I felt like we were on similar paths — of course his career is a little bit different — but our stories are synonymous,” Pharoah says of his character. “Being hot on the underground and trying to cross over into the industry,

In need of convincing “White Famous” was co-created by Tom Kapinos, the man behind Showtime’s big hit “Californication.” While at first hesitating over whether to try to help develop the series — “I don’t know if I’m the guy for this,” he recalled — Kapinos changed his mind after meeting with Jamie Foxx. “It was hilarious. We had an hourand-a-half meeting and it was like a one-man show,” Kapinos says. E.I.

and then Floyd trying to keep his moral code.” He doesn’t want to divulge specific storylines, but adds, “The topics that we do touch on are so talked about behind closed doors. These things happen all the time but like there’s not a spotlight on

any of them. … I mean, I’ve had a lot of experiences with weird folks in the industry.” In real life, Pharoah says he’s managed to avoid compromising his values in pursuit of recognition. He credits his “good home base,” which includes his sister, who serves as his manager, and his parents and other family. “I still go to my grandma’s house and eat with her when I get down there, you know, the things that I always did before, I still do, and I think that’s kept me grounded,” he says. “I think my view will always be the same: You don’t have to compromise yourself to get where you want to go, especially with so many avenues and so much access that the world has right now.”

SHOWTIME

The year of Stephen King adaptations continues with Netflix’s take on his novella “1922,” about a man who wants to murder his wife and enlists his son’s help. Thomas Jane, Molly Parker and Dylan Schmid star.

2 ‘George Michael: Freedom’ 9 p.m. Saturday on Showtime

This documentary about the late singing legend (filmed before his death last year) observes the span of George Michael’s sensational career.

3 ‘Patton Oswalt: Annihilation’ Tuesday on Netflix

Next up in Netflix’s string of big stand-up specials is Patton Oswalt’s. The veteran comic will riff on creating comedy in the Trump era and his struggle after a public personal tragedy. (EXPRESS)

MARC SILVER | BROADCAST MUSE

Ain’t no saint: Even some baddies go to ‘The Good Place’ The other day, my daughter and I were talking about shows we’re watching this fall. I said, “I can’t believe what’s happening on ‘The Good Place.’ ” My daughter put her fingers in her ears and went “Na na na” so I wouldn’t spoil it for her. But I got carried away and gave away the Big Twist for the NBC sitcom’s second season (8:30 p.m. Thursdays). She was mad as hell. So I will try not to spoil “The Good Place” as I explain why it is one helluva sitcom. In Season 1, petty swindler Eleanor Shellstrop (a nononsense Kristin Bell) is hit by

a truck and goes straight to the titular location. Yes, morally compromised Eleanor is in heaven, surrounded by heavenly fro-yo shops and cheery folk and assigned a soulmate, the indecisive ethics professor Chidi. Her next-door neighbors are the philanthropic socialite Tahani and the silent monk Jianyu. (And kudos for ethnic diversity: Chidi is from Nigeria and Tahani is Pakistani. Jianyu turns out to be Filipino, but that’s a long story.) Their host, and the architect of their world, is the angel Michael, played with insincere charm by Ted Danson. Clearly, a mistake was made in Eleanor’s case. Only it turns out the rest of the heaven dwellers aren’t exactly who

they seem to be. Lots of surprises popped up in Season 1, especially in the mind-blowing finale. In Season 2, all hell breaks loose, but I don’t want to give away details and ruin the show for you. Suffice it to say that “The Good Place” is many excellent shows in one. It’s a sitcom about what it’s like to produce a sitcom. Michael is like the show-runner, trying out 802 versions of the plot to see which works best. It’s also a morality play about the human soul. Sure, Eleanor is no saint, but she’s nowhere near as bad as, say, Hitler. So where does her immortal soul belong? And who are we to judge? And it’s a very clever comedy. In a recent episode, heaven was chock-full of restaurants with adorkable names, like the bagel shop called “From Schmear to Eternity.” Sounds like a good place to me!

“That Kellyanne Conway/ Pennywise spoof from ‘IT’ was scarier than the actual ‘IT’ movie.”

“I’ve been steadfast in what I stand for in my personal life and on Twitter, but would largely take the check and bite my tongue on set.” @GRIFFLIGHTNING, actor Griffin

Newman, in a tweet thread about how he feels guilty for acting in a scene in a Woody Allen film that is still in production. Newman wrote on Twitter that in the wake of the allegations against Harvey Weinstein, he decided to donate his salary from the Allen film to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, because he believes earlier assault allegations against Allen.

@RAISINGELL, reacting to a skit from this weekend’s “Saturday

Night Live,” in which Kate McKinnon reprised her role as White House adviser Kellyanne Conway — but with a twist. Conway was depicted as Pennywise, the terrifying clown from the movie “It,” trying to lure Alex Moffat’s Anderson Cooper into the sewers, or at least into letting her appear on TV again. “Kellywise,” who had already lured Cecily Strong’s Rachel Maddow into a sewer, offered Cooper crazy quotes like, “Puerto Rico actually was worse before Hurricane Maria, and the hurricane actually did blow some buildings back together.”

“There have been spottings of a cougar ... and that’s not it — that looks like a housecat.”

“If ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ makes you uncomfortable you should probably be reading ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’ “

SCOTT MADAUS, a local news reporter

with Fox 13 Memphis, in a news clip that went viral about a cougar spotting in Hernando, Miss. Madaus was on the scene to report about cellphone footage of what could have been a cougar. In the live shot, he was pointing at the area where the cougar was spotted, and the camera panned over to a cat in the exact same spot, sitting quietly as if it were pretending to be the cougar. The funny cat video went viral.

@NICKORSINI, tweeting after the Biloxi, Miss., school district removed Harper Lee’s novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” from the eighth-grade curriculum last week. School board vice president Kenny Holloway told the Sun Herald, “There is some language in the book that makes people uncomfortable.” Holloway also said, “We can teach the same lesson with other books.”

want to go about your business today with great care, lest you slip backward and fall into a trap of your own making.

TODAY: Mostly sunny skies, with a steady influx of cool, dry air carried in on 10-15 mph northwesterly winds, will create a cool and dry day. Bundle up if you’re out tonight, as it’s been a while since it’s been this chilly. Skies will be clear and the winds will go from light to calm — a recipe for temperatures to tumble.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are aware of the dangers that lie ahead, but you know there is little you can do to avoid them. Ready yourself for a battle of wills.

Blake Lively opened up in a Los Angeles Times story published Thursday about being sexually harassed by a makeup artist she had worked with. “I was sleeping one night on location and I woke up and he was filming me. I was clothed, but it was a very voyeuristic, terrifying thing to do,” she said.
