The musical wrapped tonight and I'm so glad because goddamn that rehearsal schedule was fucking brutal. Evening rehearsals are fine, I can handle those. But making them late afternoon sessions just throws a wrench in everything for weeks on end.

This is so cool.
Y’all wanna hear a wild story? Charlie is right — this medley Prince made 30 years ago, blending many of his greatest hits & fan favorites into an extended mashup, is one of the most fun “only Prince could do this” things he made in the 90s. BUT: he told us he was gonna do it. In an AOL chat room…
Unpopular opinion: the Purple Medley is one of the best things Prince ever did.

Legalizing sports betting was the dumbest fucking idea anyone has had in a long time. And we're going to collectively realize that in about two or three years.

While this sounds nefarious at face value, the biggest irony that could come from it is that the DOJ wins by appealing to SCOTUS who has to basically uphold all the provisions of the Voting Rights Act that they've been desperately trying to strike down for two decades.
Bondi's DOJ is suing California because of redistricting. Bondi LIED about the reason & says it about race. NO, it's because you are trying to cheat by having red states redistricting, so you can continue destroy democracy.

Especially effective when mentioned while watching a film (especially a big budget one) or listening to the new release of a song (preferably by a big pop star).

Once Maslow's hierarchy of needs is met for everyone, the rest is just fun time. So yes.
Question 39:
I’m of the belief that everyone enjoys labor, but forcing toil to survive kills that joy. If all needs were met, people would expend their energies laboring to produce the things which excite them. Agree, disagree, or third thing?
