At any given moment my moods are either 1) nervous looking pangolin or 2) “What are you waiting for, huh?” from I Know What You Did Last Summer.

My uncle passed away this morning and he was a huge I Love Lucy fan so I watched the Vitameatavegamin episode tonight. Just incredible how somebody can be so funny in such a timeless way.

One of my frat brothers is on Broadway and every other day he posts pictures with some new celebrity and you know what? Good for him. He’s a cool dude

We had a parakeet named Flippin’ (as in Flippin’ the Bird) when I was in high school. Little blue guy would *bark* all day.

just met a woman at a party & asked her what she did for work. could barely understand her because she was so soft spoken & had an accent so i just nodded a bunch.

“she’s in culture,” her friend said.

i finally realised that i was talking to
ANNA DELVEY

I ASKED ANNA DELVEY WHAT SHE DID FOR WORK

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.

If you can’t be bothered to stand up for bodily autonomy, freedom of expression and healthcare for all, then I truly don’t know what you’re actually *for*

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel.
That's all erased now.

“The existence of even one ex gay dismantles the central lie of homosexuality, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.”

Same shit different era.

People change gender for lots of reasons and lots of ways, and it should be protected because of freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, and the right to bodily autonomy. "They were born that way" is not the only reason we protect minority classes

Jack Posobiec of “Rape Melania” sign fame

Because of his tendency toward pulling stunts - including trying to embed as an anti-Trump protester with a "Rape Melania" sign - Posobiec has been characterized as a "troll" by some
journalists. Hayden disputes that characterization.
