Under a Clear Sky, In a World Untarnished,

"I'm always saying this" --me when I've never been saying this

Grand Theft Hamlet is a great movie, by the way, or at least it filled a need I didn't know existed. It's a documentary where a lot of actors in lockdown try to stage Hamlet in Grand Theft Auto Online, getting other people to read various parts, picking places to perform, scheduling rehearsals, picking up some regular people who watch them rehearse, and all the while dodging every other player in the game shooting at them with rockets. It's great.

One thing that especially worked for me, though, was the ghost. This is the first time I really felt it when Horatio begs Hamlet not to follow the ghost. Inside GTA Online, the ghost is in all black except for a ski mask with LED lights in a smiley face, standing on a blimp that Hamlet has to jump down onto from a balcony. Don't follow him, Hamlet!

Anyway, go watch this.

So I did not expect this to be so spectacular, and more fool me. The concept is fascinating, and what you get more than the play is a group of people trying to navigate an adriftness through the timelessness of Shakespeare, where modern conditions and humble truths of human nature clash a magnificent, jarring environment that seems perfectly suited to such a venture.

Oh yeah, they're going to eat that man alive

I really enjoyed working with the marker pen for this one. I'll probably use it for more sketchy work in the future, this turned out delicious

Found this gem of a review on Amazon tonight.

I keep picturing a middle aged woman trying to shoo a bunch of goats away with this and I’m crying from laughing so hard.

doesnt scare goats in the least

English has different words for mouse and rat but in Chinese they're both the same creature (laoshu) so I asked my mom well how do you differentiate between mice and rats. She, clearly having never felt the need to do so, was like uhh big laoshu and little laoshu I guess. Then I went online to see how the difference between (the English words) "mouse" and "rat" was being explained to CN->EN learners and there are numerous articles delving deep into the analysis. Bigger vs smaller, indoors vs outdoors, cute and favorable connotations vs evil and ugly, tail length, fear factor, emphasis on the fact that you cannot call it a "computer rat." Much thought is being expended on this little mystery of the English language

Last time I was looking for an apartment, the guy showing me a room that opened directly to the alley was like 你怕老鼠嗎？and I, hoping to distinguish mouse vs rat, asked 大的還是小的? To which he replied, with great satisfaction: 都有!😃

Translation: "Are you afraid of rodents?" "Big ones or small ones?" "We've got both."

Oh my gosh, I looked up an article on this, and y'all, as an English speaker who has honestly never thought twice about this distinction, it's delightful:

“(2) Calculate the nipple of a rodent”

What a good article

i like the phrases "it's not for me," "it's not my thing," and "i'm not the target audience" because they're the most concise way to express "this thing that you enjoy has merits but idgaf about it" without being aggressive

thanks google

When Everything Everywhere All at Once said “The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind, especially when we don’t know what’s going on" 

When the Good Place said “Why choose to be good every day when there is no guaranteed reward now or in the afterlife… I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.” 

When Jean-Paul Sartre said ”‘Hell is other people’ is only one side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also ‘Heaven is each other’. Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven on the other hand is very simple, and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.“

Love that we’ve elevated the conversation to such a degree that, if you’re going to be grimdark nihilistic in fiction, you need to argue philosophically against 4 seasons of The Good Place.

I'm kind of obsessed with the way sheep are handled. So efficiently. It always looks kind of unpleasant at first and then you notice the sheep are fine with it. They're always being flipped upside down and rolled down a chute or some shit. A shepherd will be tossing that thang in the air and spinning it like pizza dough & the sheep just lets it happen

I really believe that sheep have achieved a level of empty-headedness rarely found in mammals. A sheep's thought processes seem more in line with that of a jellyfish than most other ungulates. Absolutely nothing going on behind their cute little eyes. Maybe the most domesticated an animal has ever been

It's just fluff all the way down. I'm on the verge of tears

I just paid $70, AFTER insurance, for the ADHD meds I require to function.

I take 20mg and there's 30 in the bottle, which comes out to about $110/g of medication.

The current price of gold is $106.21.

My insurance is literally charging me for these drugs more than their weight in gold.

The American insurance industry needs to be dismantled and made an example of.
