agreed.

mocking people for things that they can change about themselves is fair game.

height isn't one of those things.

this country has become a sickening place of terror and hate.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.
On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Don't just grab popcorn. *Help them*. Give them support resisting this bullshit. Help them pop out of the bubble and see the light. Cheer them on.

They should make a Nobel Prize for breaking things. It can be made out of lead.

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

I like that.

Of course, there is the Ig Nobel, and they do hand out a Peace prize.

They even had a prize for "Medical Education", which the moldy king won in 2020. He never talks about it though for some reason.

Ridley Scott made some statement like this recently. Wonder if someone has an influence campaign underway?

I would like to nominate the lead dev for YOLO & darknet, Joseph Redmon, who eventually quit working on CV AI because he saw a lot of downsides.

As an aside, they also have the greatest resume ever made in the history of resumes:

we should melt down the WH gold leaf at some point in the future and donate it to the Noble prize committee for use in a medal he will never be awarded.

One of my favorite past times is to go walk to the frog pond on the show farm near my house and try and count the frogs.

I saw this show last month and it was a once in a lifetime experience.

This might be the best review I've seen of it yet.

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.
