Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I have spent three days at Twin Cities Con. Apart from having the opportunity to meet an incredibly gracious Kevin Smith, and meeting Jason “Exact Same Age as Me” Mewes, the weekend has been one of people watching. So many talented artists. So much imagination in a closed space. Makes me smile.
