Oh well, at least the internet leftists who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Harris can sleep in peace knowing they accomplished their goal of keeping her out of office.

His name might be Lawrence but that man is a Larry. He even looks like the greatest Larry of them all, Larry Dallas.

My wife: Was he expecting a musical?
Me: No, that would be Waiting for Goddo.

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.

American cities. Not “Democratic-led cities.” American cities.

Doctors shouldn't have to deal with multiple insurance companies, different coverage for different patients, unpredictable approvals, and so forth. It's a huge diversion of resources away from actual care to support multiple profit-taking bureaucracies.

I went where I did because I originally planned to be a teacher. It was my first-year physics prof who suggested I consider grad school, but he still thought a broad undergraduate education would provide a better base for that than focusing exclusively on one field. I haven't had any regrets.

(Also, my high school drama classes are the reason I can give a better talk than most of my colleagues.)

I have a Ph.D. in nuclear physics but I did my undergrad studies at a small liberal arts university and I have told many, many students that breadth early in their student careers is more important than depth. In most fields nobody really cares what you did as an undergrad, so learn to think.

Harm reduction, which includes safe consumption, provides a path to recovery. Why are lawmakers trying to deny that to people?

Thunder Bay is still in the Eastern time zone, also for business reasons. It's further west than Chicago.

On the bright side, one of their players dropped 113 points on Hillsdale College in the '50s to set an NCAA record, and anything that pantses Hillsdale has to be good.

You burned $90 million last time out and left the party with nothing to show for it. Move on.

Other than the fact that nobody “left him behind,” of course. He’s just a crank.

Other than the bit about “woke leftist policies”, yes.

You're banning people who criticize you for not doing more to maintain a safe environment while letting people who threaten that safe environment remain. That’s not “healthy discourse.” That's petty, reactionary bullshit.
