Tariff on the concept of joy
Words, both recreationally and professionally. Video games/comics/giant robots nerd, with a side of yelling about sports. Largely boring.

Holy SHIT. The energy of that performance was unbelievable. From the cast, the audience, even the band. One of the best theatergoing experiences of my life.
David (@crookedknight.bsky.social) reply parent
The cast is really delightful and they do madcap comedy like a Swiss clock. It's a great show to be up close for, too. Look at this energy!

Day 2 starts with OPERATION MINCEMEAT. I've been interested in this one for a while - a madcap historical comedy, written and performed by a gang of college friends that came up through the Fringe Festival. And I can't complain about getting these seats for lottery prices, dang.

Okay, that was worth the return trip, she's fucking hilarious (and has palpable chemistry with Jennifer Simard) Also, Ximone Rose was on in place of Michelle Williams and was fantastic. Not to be rude but even for a singing-heavy role there's a world of difference between a singer and an actor.

So this is our third time seeing DBH (yes, we're insane, what of it) and FINALLY we're going to see Megan Hilty rather than one of her understudies. (Not that the understudies have been bad!)

I would at least look into it, but seems premature to actually buy tickets or whatever when the appointments aren't available yet even in the green-light states and ground rules are changing from hour to hour.

Also it specifically points out that she is being denied an opportunity to contest the factual claims in the forum where "for cause" dismissals are supposed to be proven, which is not federal district court

Even @lastweektonight.com, usually pretty good about not giving its targets credit they don't deserve, kept saying this in its latest MAHA episode and it pissed me off every time. They don't have valid concerns, they're just lying! One of them said HHS has never examined chronic diseases before!

If they want you gone, make them fire you and make it a painful, drawn-out prices. If they still need you in your job, resigning in protest becomes an option.

It wouldn't even have to be the AVERAGE person. The hawkiest non-expert in the country who's not an outright white nationalist is probably envisioning an "immigration crackdown" an order of magnitude more generous than the system that exists.

Trump surprisingly DID brag about Warp Speed during his stream-of-consciousness rant in the (incredibly stupid, nauseating) cabinet meeting today. Wonder if that reflects people bringing it up to him in hopes that he'll quash this.

I waffle back and forth on how self-aware these guys are about what they're doing but when I'm feeling "they're totally lost in the sauce" it makes sense that the outcome-driven caucus would be mystified why "we TOLD you who's supposed to win, just figure out the reasoning from there" hasn't worked.
