the reporter going “so just to be clear, you guys are frogs now because of the other frog? there’s no other significance to the frog thing?? I would love for there to be more to it than that” and the frogs are just like “nah man we’re here to support the original frog”

There are two very different ways to say "Never heard of it!"

1. "I, a person of great taste and importance who has heard of everything good, have never heard of this thing, hence it must be a bag of wank."

2. "Tell me more. I love finding out about new things, especially if they are brilliant."

Tom Cox @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 1d

I can never understand why some people view "Never heard of it!" as a withering insult. Loads of things virtually nobody has ever heard of are brilliant. Not all things virtually everybody has heard of are total dogshit, but my empirical research has demonstrated to me that a vast number are.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

For anyone struggling tonight:

You matter.
You have value.
You are loved.
You do not need to prove your worth or justify your existence to anyone.

If you know someone who’s lonely, sick or struggling… reach out and say “how can I support you?”

Let them know someone cares

It makes a difference

This story reminded me of seeing the play at Circa in 1999 featuring Ken Blackburn and Peter Vere-Jones. Went with my late ex MiL. I miss her

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.
