Saw this sticker in Tacoma last weekend, and it's perfect.

A sticker on a bike rack in Tacoma, WA that says:

"THEY WANT YOU TO THINK TRANSGENDER PEOPLE ARE A PROBLEM. INSTEAD, TRY BEING A FUCKING ADULT, AND LIVE AND LET LIVE."

Cold Missouri Waters should be talked about next to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Like many people, it's been the chorus to Golden for me.

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

When I was 14, I learned about "Waiting for Godot" from a friend, but I misheard "Goddell." I confidently used the phrase "Waiting for Goddell or something" in a very 14yo-discovering-free-verse poem.

I still had a better understanding of the play than this guy does.

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.

I thought it was photoshopped at first. His head, to use a very old phrase, looks pasteded on yey.

I know my flag is all tangled, but I was afraid I'd lose the shot if I tried to fix it.

I just said to my partner, "Kash Patel is a Garth Ennis character," and I don't think either of us are okay with how 🎯🎯🎯 that is.

The real tragedy of Whedon is that he was good at his job.

Yeah, like...the distance from Caleb to The Watchers' Council is way shorter than either would like to admit.

I have to run errands, but I'm looking forward to watching this later!

Fox wanted them to be The Good Guys so much, I never got the suggestion the systems they were trying to save/defend were bad. So when you pair that with Two By Two, Hands Of Blue, suddenly I'm crying for Ol' Dixie without really understanding that's what's happening.

Don't Break The Chain: Bring Back Łink @mxlabradorite.bsky.social · 17h

OH. I admit that hadn't occurred to me. (Though after that propagandafest that was "What Is Starfleet?" that seems a bit more obvious now.)

I still can't find my keys

Don't Break The Chain: Bring Back Łink @mxlabradorite.bsky.social · 1d

I can't find my keys, but I suppose that's on me for keeping them on a John Cena keychain.

I wish this was a bit.

That may not have been the intended messaging, but again: Empire vs Rebels is going to have you cheering for the Rebels unless you have really good reasons not to.

Well, it doesn't help that the Alliance smacks of fascism, as opposed to the plucky outer worlds scrappy frontierspeople just trying to live a life.

Very excited to be the first person* to make this joke.

*I'm almost certainly not

That's the thing I can't stand about Broadway. All the damn vampires.
