This post has been a long time in the making. I started this chopper painting in 2023, with not much idea of where I was gonna go with it.

Hadn't even heard of it till now, but I will definitely be doing a deep dive into that series.

Holy fuckballs. No PEPPER?

Thanks, Jenna. You can't really see it in the photo, but there was mozzarella and extra-old white cheddar stuffed into it, too.

No taters here, but I did make one of these sandwiches that you may recall.

My TV has died, and I guess I need to start looking for a replacement.

Sorry to hear this, bud. I remember how awful that can be. Hope you recover quickly.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

I had pretty solid relationships with both of mine, too.

Blasphemy.

That is deeply fucked up.

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.

I always look at it sadly on my way out the door, after I’ve paid.

Bret Taylor @bretinvancouver.bsky.social · 3d

Oh, I do my best to just walk past that whole section of the store when I come in.

So is the current one staying where it is after all?

(He asked, hopefully.)

Me, I'm just wowed by the phrase "Rush's new drummer."

How Anika Nilles Became Rush's New Drummer

Geddy Lee had actually shouted her out a couple of years ago.
