rephrasing for more accuracy: the writer’s company is presenting an RSC production of Hamnet in the spring, which still seems awfully conflict of interesty

not sure what Gen Z has to do with a 43-year-old’s adaptation of a 52-year-old’s novel—and lest you think it’s just the hed, the piece calls Hamnet “mumblecore Shakespeare, conceived for the TikTok generation,” never mind that mumblecore predates TikTok by like 20 years

It's only a matter of time before humanities departments will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.

In The Naked Gun the evil world-destroying billionaire boasts that you can still say the original title for the Black-Eyed Peas' "Let's Get It Started" in his private club, and as it turns out, this exact kind of insane elite overreaction to being told "no" is the primary reason we have fascism now.

Ordering no quarter, as Hegseth effectively did, isn't a newfangled modern war crime. It was understood as a crime as far back as the Revolutionary War. Washington threatened to do reprisals over it. The bad guy in 'The Patriot' is (very loosely) based off a British officer who was notorious for it.

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

Trump has never once in his life extemporaneously used the phrase "western civilization." He was once asked about western liberalism and thought they were talking about California Democrats. One of the more blatant tells for a Miller-written screed.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

What is the purpose of T for Teen Kill Bill?
First look at Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Yuki’s Revenge’
• It’s a part of ‘Kill Bill’ that was never filmed
• Uma Thurman returns as The Bride
• Follows Yubari’s sister as she travels to the US to hunt down The Bride
• Animated by Fortnite
• Releasing on November 30
