John Oliver’s segment on Benjamin Netanyahu was pretty good and worth watching, for what it’s worth.

Agreed. She went all out on the title track, which was nice. I wish she had sprinkled a little vaudeville throughout the rest but, hey, it was still a good time.

Special thanks to the Men’s All White Nepo Baby Choir for collaborating on this track. They sing the final chorus!

I got tired of the media hyper-focusing on Luigi Mangione's personal life, with no attention given to Brian Thompson's actions or characters. So, I wrote a musical about him. He was a real jerk. Check out the debut track!

A maroon playbill with gold trim corners. "BRIAN THOMPSON THE MUSICAL" is written in front of three bullets whizzing by. An ugly man's face appears in a gold circle, with the words "A play by Augie rettler" written beneath him.

Reminding folks of my favorite American Industry fact of this year - Broadway shows employ more people than the American Coal industry.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 11d

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

Having the worst day at work until my boss’s very flamboyant 9 year old son comes in and starts walking me through his dream musical theatre dance complete with costume changes depicting the duality of his personality (a cunty evil Queen and then a normal kid at school) that ends with soda pop. ❤️

For my theatre kid friends:

Did you know you can watch a bunch of Broadway shows and Met opera shows on the PBS app if you donate to PBS?

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.
