NEW YORK — In about 30 years, Kieran Culkin, a great American actor, will make a terrific Shelley “The Machine” Levene, the sad-sack veteran salesman in David Mamet’s masterful “Glengarry Glen Ross,” the 1983 drama about desperate Chicago real estate sharks that surely is the best play ever written about the dehumanizing underbelly of American business, with the honorable exception of Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman.” I hope I am around to see that production. But here in 2025, Culkin, fresh off “Succession” and his much-deserved Oscar win for “A Real Pain,” has his name on the marquee playing…

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson is known for his routine and sticking with what works for him. That extends to the bat he uses. Well, at least it did. Swanson has been using the new “torpedo” bat in games this season, along with second baseman Nico Hoerner. Other Cubs hitters have tested it out to varying degrees in non-game environments. First baseman Michael Busch is among them, though he said he didn’t notice much of a difference and as of now doesn’t plan to use one. The model’s “torpedo” moniker is inspired by the barrel’s design…

Mayor Brandon Johnson announced a ticket penalty amnesty program Tuesday after working the plan into his 2025 budget passed in December. Johnson’s budget also calls for adding 50 new speed cameras to raise money from drivers going over the limit. So this amnesty plan will give him a talking point to counter criticism that he’s balancing the books by relying on regressive fines. The amnesty program seeks to bring in an influx of cash from drivers who would otherwise not pay off their ticket debt amid…
