No moral center whatsoever. What bothers me most about him is he doesn’t even believe the line of bullshit he spouts. But he knows who’s paying him so says what he’s been told to say. His only true belief is in his bank account and his “fame”

He has absolutely no understanding of the nonprofit business model. So infuriating

Definitely. And Strathmore has always been an excellent alternative to the KC. A lot of the ensembles have been able to move to other venues. But it’s not possible for them all because of scheduling issues, tech issues (new venue can’t accommodate a theater set or a full orchestra), etc.

It’s the main venue for classical music in DC. Opera, orchestras, chamber groups, soloists, etc. All non-profit just trying to present some art. I’m biased - I have friends and colleagues really suffering there. And no they can’t just “go get another job”. What’s happening is heartbreaking

Every year I watch this movie and every year a different scene hits me hard. This year it was that scene. When Mr Gower realizes what he did and grabs George to hug and hold him and they are both crying…so heartbreaking and just beautifully acted by both.

During his first term, several celebrities boycotted the KC Honors because of him and it pissed him off. He refused to go the other three years because he feared being booed. This is his revenge. Never underestimate that man’s pettiness

I have many colleagues and friends who work there (musicians, administrators, etc) that have just been demoralized over the past year. I fear this will finish them off.

I just keep thinking about how much that family must have struggled and suffered in private all these years. This tragedy just reminds us that we never know what is really happening in someone’s personal life. It’s now more important than ever to extend more grace and understanding to others.

I think its because everyone, no matter the party, see this for what it is - a terrible family tragedy that has nothing to do with politics or with Trump.

Depends on how long Paramount’s hostile takeover of Warner Brothers Discovery takes.

Some of the things she says makes me go “holy shit!” but also laugh uncontrollably. Just a brilliant character and actress.

Agreed! It’s just fun and sweet and a nice way to relax.

Accurate.

Unsurprising coming from the same man who wrote that the US military should fire upon peaceful protestors.

Though I hope it holds, this just feels like the last hostage/prisoner swap. Optimism that it would stick and joy at seeing the hostages released. But the usual players -Netanyahu’s far right coalition and Hamas extremists- refused to cooperate any further and the fighting started again.

We’re invoking Force Majeure

Jennings is a fraud. He is not a true MAGA believer. He knows he’s being disingenuous when ties himself in knots trying to defend this indefensible administration. But he has calculated that going this route will yield him the most money and clout. He stands for nothing but himself.
