Has no one watched Slings and Arrows?
Am I weird for thinking this isn’t even slightly nuts, and that it’s actually a beautiful way to remain a part of the theater after one’s passing?
My degree is in Shakespeare - with an emphasis on Hamlet - and it’s so odd to think anyone playing the role would find it uncomfortable. 🤔

Actors can be nuts, man. A dude (André Tchaikowsky) left his skull to the Royal Shakespeare Company to play Yorick in future productions. No one felt comfortable doing it until David Tennant played Hamlet.

Personally, I’d just sit in the library all day consuming them like a fiend when we I could, so I guess that explains why I’m mostly just sexually flexible.
Did you constantly check Greek mythology books out of the library as a kid or are you straight now

There’s like 4 Christmas-themed songs I have any affection for and I’m stuck listening to this music every goddam day, growing ever more tired of it, until the hatred burns bright. I could go the rest of my life without hearing Last Christmas again, but it’s nowhere near the worst.

Going to be blunt. As a disabled creative in the US hellscape I am burnt out from constant worrying I'll make enough to keep a roof over me.
I can't keep operating under the pressure of capitalist Production. But the only other option is to slowly suffer to death or... quicken the process.

Immigration idea- if we’ve fucked your nation either through overt military action, corporate malfeasance or vile CIA ratfuckery, younger to just walk into the country, declare yourself a citizen and immediately partake in any and all benefits that entails.

NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

Something I needed to stumble upon today. Maybe you do too?
I think one of the hardest things about being a career writer in traditional publishing is that writing attracts the neurodivergent brain while the variable reinforcement schedule punishes it. We are all the rat at the water bottle, waiting for the hit of cocaine. You get one win, and you need MORE.

If I open an article and the splash banner is AI slop, I close the tab. If you don't have the bare minimum of discernment to not do that, what else do you consider "good enough" to publish?
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

I know that’s how he is- every accusation a confession- but he should really retire “Sleepy” as something he calls Biden.
