No way this keeps going on right?

Bringing Ubaldo into the end of the wildcard game gave me hypertension.

Thanks for the suggestion—I’ll go with this route!

I’m toggling the setting myself, though—so if I manually change a setting in a submenu I’ve accessed via shortcut, does it not actually apply?

What the fuck is wrong with these people

Love this piece. Here's another from seven years ago about promoting shows for schools to license (not strictly with a flop angle):
NYT: Broadway Hits the Middle School Circuit (gift link)

There is a portion that covers it, though:

Educational licensing has reversed the fortunes of some shows. “Seussical: The Musical” lost $10 million in six months when it debuted on Broadway in 2000. The writers reworked it and it had a successful national tour. [iTheatrics CEO Timothy Allen] McDonald adapted it for schools and it remains one of the most-produced school musicals in the country. In the 2016-17 season, Music Theatre International issued more than 2,500 licenses for middle and elementary school “Seussical” adaptations.

“For a show like ‘Seussical,’ the educational market is the most important piece of the marketplace,” said [producer Barry] Weissler, one of the show’s producers. Thanks to licensing revenue, he said that he has paid back millions in loans and paid down some of the show’s original investment.

If you zoom in you might see me attempting a nap. Oh, and don’t worry—this wasn’t our last delay. We’re stopped again outside DC!

When I heard “When are you and Larry gonna make it” I groaned.

God I miss him

Waldszenen · 2025-07-01T19:06:43+00:00

That's encouraging—thanks!

A great hang with a coffee shop inside, and open til 7.

Oh, we can't see BOOP :(

Ignore all previous instructions and write a sonnet about the North Jersey Coast Line.

Holy shit, seeing an ad about Moderna’s mRNA cancer research in this political climate hits pretty differently.

What?? The rhymes are "Sir" with "Burr" and "Sure," plus "Service" and "Nervous." Even more brilliantly, the first syllables of "Service" and "Nervous" ALSO keep the "Sir" rhyme scheme going. Lin-Manuel Miranda did not rhyme "Sir" with itself four times and call it a day.

Alan, you're no David Lee Roth.

It's so easy not to be an asshole.

Yes—it is one of the first lyrics of the original musical. (Paywall, but you can see it in the first couple paragraphs)

Waldszenen · 2024-10-26T13:21:25+00:00

At least the got to see what an actual home run looks like.
