Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I don’t think Vance is a true believer and so I believe there’s a place inside him left that still feels this shame and hurt.
That some part of him knows that he sold every last inch of his soul he could sell. That he crossed every line of decency and dignity in hope of reward.
And this is reward.

![Rotten Tomatoes‘ parent company Versant is denying any tampering is going on with the “Melania” audience scores on the review aggregator website. The Amazon MGM-backed documentary has a 99% audience score compared to a disastrous 7% critics score as of the Friday morning heading into “Melania’s” second weekend of release. The huge divide between the scores has led many to wonder if MAGA-supported bots are being used to drive up the audience score.

[first sentence of the following paragraph is highlighted]
“There has been no bot manipulation on the audience reviews for the ‘Melania’ documentary,” Versant said in a statement to Variety. “Reviews displayed on the Popcornmeter are VERIFIED reviews, meaning it has been verified that users have bought a ticket to the film.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jfersscjmut66kwgcgtqmeor/bafkreictduf7ppk65likem4m2sbfiteldybpgcwhf7p5bkekxgxokxhtva@jpeg)
