Hey New Zealanders... The Celebrity Traitors is available on ThreeNow - save day as it screens in the UK!

I'd share a direct link, but that's apparently not something the ThreeNow app supports.

And now, more than the months after the Ombudsman told them they had to, the Ministry of Education has responded.

I haven't even had a chance to look at any of it yet.

It does seem impossible to imagine someone spending that much money without even doing a tiny little Google search or even just asking themselves "I wonder what the title means?"

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.

Essential services are not suited to "the market" — the objectives of private capital are too misaligned with the nature of the inelastic demand for the services.

I will never understand people who claim to understand capitalism and profit, and also suggest that "the market" can deliver security or lower costs or whatever.

"The market" will extract as much profit as it can. That's the explicit goal. It's an obligation for management.

I collaborated with @davidfarrier.com to make TICKLED because of social media.

His Facebook posts about the bizarre response from Jane O'Brien Media were what pulled me into the story, ultimately took us to Sundance and saw us sued in two US states 😁
