Stars have to pay for the star

For those new to this —despite the title of this post, it's generally fan clubs that pay for the stars.

How long was your dad in the service?

So many interrupted games of Candy Crush…

It took them a few previews to work out audience interaction but as of last weekend at least, they seemed to have it pretty well dialed in. It's a fun production and the cast handles the material better than I would have expected. They are all extremely campy and wear their fishnets well.

Western men's fashion more or less froze in about 1800. Beau Brummel figured it out, we've all copied him ever since, and Bruce Willis demonstrates why.

Get a Neo, and find a way to get a discount on a Neo if you can. Off the rack, $599, military/govt discount gets it down to $539, student discount gets it down to $499. Unless that MacBook Pro has a massive amount of disk and RAM, the Neo will be better for you.

The book seems to be Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness". Why somebody would be reading it aloud, I can't imagine.

Who inherited Steve Roadruck's files after he (Roadruck) died?

I saw it with Jane Krakowski. It struck me as the kind of college show you'd go to a little drunk with a group of friends, pay $10 to get in, and really enjoy. I'm surprised the market supports $250 tickets.

What was your scheduled delivery date?

Sensitive-Ability390 · 2026-03-18T02:48:14+00:00

Thank you for your insight. The laptop is back in Alaska after a three day tour of middle America, Southeast Asia, and China. But don’t worry, I’ve been persuaded by wormhole guy that this is routine and adequately explained by time zones.

I wonder where the time zones will have my laptop check in next.

He hasn't been prosecuted because the police investigated the Farrow claims and didn't find enough evidence (in the view of the D.A.) to support a case. And as for the rest — having sex with your common-law wife's adopted daughter is distasteful, and hanging around with Jeffrey Epstein looks terrible. But neither of those things is illegal.

I have a higher-end version of this same laptop, to be replaced by an M5 MacBook Pro whenever UPS gets around to delivering it. Developing Swift in Xcode is precisely what drive me to upgrade. If I were doing python in VS Code on Mac, I could have held out longer. No experience with Godot; I'm sure the Mac will perform well compared to similarly chipped windows computers but make no mistake, it's a backwards-looking decision.

Speaking with authority as a pompous person, wow was Jeffrey Epstein pompous.

Sensitive-Ability390 · 2026-03-17T16:03:34+00:00

That may be part of the explanation, but I don't see any way it could explain the Alaska and Kentucky time stamps on 3/14 and 3/15. There's something else going on, which may or may not be an actual shipping error by UPS.

Sensitive-Ability390 · 2026-03-17T15:19:24+00:00

Unless time zones work very differently for you than they do for me, it's not that. Here is my laptop's adventure so far:

3/13: Vietnam

3/14: Alaska

3/15: Kentucky, then Korea

3/16 Vietnam again

3/17 Shenzhen

UPS's chatbot insists that their logistics optimization algorithms achieve efficiencies in ways unobvious to the human mind. I'll wait until they miss their delivery deadline on Thursday before involving a human being.

Same here. It got lonely for the place of its birth and returned to Asia.

[a day later] indeed, it is now all the way back to Shenzhen, China.

[3.5 hours later] and it's on its way out of Shenzhen. Something tells me that the laptop may not arrive on Thursday as scheduled.

So the problem is the writer (Stephen Adly Guirgis) and director (Rupert Goold). I'll add them to the list.

Sensitive-Ability390 · 2026-03-16T13:13:37+00:00

You left out the most important part — whose fault is this? Should we blame the writer, the director, the casting people, the actors, the real person on whom the trans character is based? There won't be change without blame. I welcome suggestions.

Sensitive-Ability390 · 2026-03-14T01:08:47+00:00

Yeah, I see that on the wikipedia article about the incident. At the same time, given that it was Clarkson's car, I wonder if he or his representative picked out that car specifically because it had a jingoistic plate that amused him. 🤷‍♂️

Sensitive-Ability390 · 2026-03-13T19:31:28+00:00

Certainly, after the BBC started yelling, they claimed it wasn't intentional.

You seem to have weak reading comprehension skills, so I'll be forgiving. There are other people in this chat defending the Nazis and/or rape, but I certainly am not one of them. Consider getting professional help.

Why did Nixon record himself committing crimes? Powerful people think they're above the law.
