Like it or not, people answering obviously rhetorical questions is here to stay

Why are all the bad things "here to stay" and all the things I love up for constant debate until they're eroded out of life altogether?

Blum too. At least find a new way to say "it's here to stay" jfc

Waiting for Doggo, my new play.

Two dogs are released onto a stage for two and a half hours, and you just watch whatever the hell they decide to do.

Two cats turn up a couple of times, and a boy appears to give them Bonios.

Please give me all your money.

If they were smart about this "I needed the money and things are desperate for the arts right now to the point we have to take blood money to invest back in our field, and that's grim" come on now

Just say you wanted the money because at this point nothing else will land. These comedians are not reading their audience properly, feels like a skill issue

NIN and TRON is exactly my shit and would be guaranteed to get me whooping and hollering in the cinema on the day of release, but all i really hope from this film now is we get to see Jared Leto die a lot

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

I already preferred Tidal over Spotify for reasons that are clear but they've delivered me two banger daily mixes the last two days that have fully uplifted my soul. Queen, Eurythmics, Simple Minds, etc, just very strong

This is the only proper way to watch Beckett. This person understands Beckett on a level you and I cannot even hope to.

Lux "Nightmare" Alptraum @luxalptraum.com · 1d

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 split AI into 3 non-mutually exclusive types (see Table 1 above): displacement (harmful), enhancement (beneficial), and/or replacement (neutral) of human cognitive labour. More later possibly, but see Tables 2 to 4 (attached or here: arxiv.org/pdf/2507.19960) for the worked through examples. 2/n

table 2 from https://arxiv.org/pdf/2507.19960

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
