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.

There is only one canonically perfect episode of television, and it's the Derry Girls episode of Great British Bake Off.

In a first, renewables generate more power than coal globally

Solar and wind power aren’t just keeping up with global electricity demand anymore – they’re pulling ahead. According to a new analysis from energy think tank Ember, solar and wind combined outpaced global electricity demand growth in the first half of 2025. That shift led to a drop in both coal and gas generation compared to the same period last year. For the first time ever, renewables generated more power than coal globally. more…

And like arguably did the Most Important Part better? Idk trying to measure Books is the path to the dark side but what I'm trying to say is that without Fanfic we don't get Gideon, Harrow, Nona, or Alecto and like we should recognize and celebrate that.

The thing about fanfic is that Tamsyn Muir spent a decade in the trenches of AO3 and the result is the Locked Tomb, and that series of books has accomplished about a dozen things that basically only Tolkien, Butler, and Le Guin have ever managed to do consistently.

I know it's bad all around but my god I feel for my gaming industry pals right now. The industry has been dogshit for years but recently it's become hideous and it breaks my heart to see people who just want to make good art get sent through the fucking shredder.
