New thread for 2025.
I really enjoyed Junky when I read it about 20 years ago, so wanted to read Queer after it, but couldn’t find it. It showed up again when the film came out. Wasn’t as impressed as with Junky, not enough there narrative-wise

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

Called three times, seated once, always welcome the summons. Don’t understand people who do their best to avoid it. Why wouldn’t you want to get a valid excuse away from work for a week or two to influence someone’s life and potentially ruin it??

Enjoyed this, but it was a bit of a slog due to going a little too heavy on the Martian geology. Definitely will read the sequels

They’ve got my vote #Morbeg2025
Two people in “walk-around” puppet costumes, one with yellow (or amber) fur, the other green. These are the Morbegs and they each wear a fetching waistcoat and nothing else. Their fur is quite shaggy, except on their large heads. They have wide mouths, big eyes and long floppy ears, which resemble stripy/spotted socks protruding from high up on their heads. They each have a statesman-like bearing and seem well capable of representing Ireland’s interests on the international stage. Imagine sending one of them to the US on Patrick’s Day instead of the Taoiseach. Imagine them meeting Trump in the Oval Office. Imagine the speech they could give at the state dinner, playing up the long, close relationship between our two countries, but also gently and subtly reprimanding Trump for his many misdeeds in a manner that is obvious to an international audience, but would go undetected by Trump himself. Imagine them visiting Buckingham Palace and shaking King Prince Charles’ big sausagey hand with their big furry hand. Who could see that and not have hope about the future of Ireland-UK relations. Total post-Brexit reset. English people seeing this would desert the Reform party en masse. Millions more British will respond to the example of a more modern, democratic republic - they will demand the abolition of the monarchy and elect Mr Blobby as their own first president. Later in their term, a journalist would uncover evidence of unsavory behavior in Phoenix Park after hours and it would all come tumbling down, the end of the nation’s most popular era in global politics, but goddammit we had a good time while it lasted.

On the plus side, we’re bound to have a record-low turnout, so shouldn’t be too significant

Seriously though, my polling card was missing the letters from the elector number, so wasn’t entirely sure which desk to go to. Everyone else at my address has similar on their cards. Could cause delays if widespread #Áras25

If Jim Gavin gets 12.5% or more, Fianna Fáil gets €250,000 in expenses refunded. Bear that in mind if you're voting for Jim Gavin as a joke.

One of the Italian puppets from the Dolmio ads, the dad I think, named Papa probably. He’s holding a plate of spaghetti with a delicious looking meat ragu. He’s got thick eyebrows and a luxuriant moustache. He’s got a white handkerchief tucked into his collar. He’s standing in what I take to be an authentic, rustic Italian kitchen, the kind of kitchen that produces only the finest Italian cuisine using the finest Italian ingredients. I make my own ragu these days as my wife doesn’t allow Dolmio in the house due to anti-puppet sentiment, but sometimes the flavour comes to me like an old lover’s kiss in a dream

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.
