Embarrassing that this is now our reputation - ''They claimed the possibility of up to eight homeless children would 'ruin their schools,' and that our families would make illegal left-hand turns into and out of the parking lot."

This feels like the time I was at the Tate in London looking at a Duchamp and some guy near me sneers "that isn't art" - AH HA YES!

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.

He wasn't drafted, he pursued it and chose to go. Fulop is not the real deal and the quicker we all accept that, the happier we'll be.

This is a level of unhinged I could not have imagined. The truth is truly stranger than fiction.

Yup, that's what we see around these parts. So we got people driving who can barely see or hear or move. Big yikes.

This is a no-brainer.

It’s also a case study in political power. Old people haz some.

We invented graduated drivers licenses for teens. They worked. But we leave 80-year-olds to “see how it goes.” Every family suffers on their own. But this is a shared social problem, not a personal one. We need conditional licenses for older drivers. Daylight. Local. Annual medical check-ins.

Initial text: Hi Katharine! This is Aiden volunteering with Andrew Cuomo for Mayor!
The election is on Tuesday, November 4 but I see you're on top of your game and are on the list for receiving a mail ballot.
Can I count on you to vote for Andrew Cuomo for Mayor on your mail ballot?

Every cable news discussion of Mamdani treats him like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and then cuts to an image of a man who looks like he was designed in a lab to lead all four grandmas at a wedding in the Cupid Shuffle

The gap between the bloodsoaked Jihadi vampire Zohran Mamdani I am reading about from even somewhat mainstream press/politicians and the regular-ass Zohran Mamdani I met like two months ago and chopped it up about 2018-era Onion headlines could not be cleared by Evel Kneivel.
