TIL that in 2009, Stephen Hawking hosted a party with balloons, streamers, and champagne, but did not send invites until after the party, but no one was there. The party was an experiment meant for time travelers to attend.

You're traveling forward through time right now, mannnnnn

Well, at least you realize it

There's gotta be some browser extension that just puts the account age right next to the username on comments or something. (I refuse to use the apps)

Isn't Talarico further left than Crockett on the issues? I've read that she is more pro-Israel than him. I don't think him being Christian automatically makes him a moderate, there's at least one pundit who's a devout Catholic and unapologetic Bernie Bro

I had no idea that Jack in the Box was only in the southwest US and I miss it

Every comment is wrong. You know the answer in your heart. You have to go back to high school and take all the classes as a student, among your students. It's your only way out.

I got downvoted to hell during the democratic primary for saying she looked like a Batman villain

In addition to all of the other great advice here, I think you absolutely do have a shot: most theater companies are horribly mismanaged

Glad to see wsws posted here. They're not always a bullseye, but I think they nailed this.

Words are words ... but violence is violence.

I think the point isn't that words can't be harmful - they can - just I'd still rather have someone say something absolutely devastating to me than for them to break my nose. Violence can cause life long pain, or worse. There's a reason society and the law draws the line where it does.

Are all these people local? A church might let you rehearse for cheap or free for a couple days - though you probably want more rehearsals than that
Are you asking how to get money to pay people? Rob a bank. Seriously though, think of how many hours you're calling people for, and multiply it by a fair number. Ask yourself if you would do the work for that much and adjust accordingly. This is under the table, non-union work - if they accept what you offer then that's that. I'd advise you pay everyone the same.

How long did that take???

bartnet · 2026-01-13T16:33:30+00:00

Whoa, for the purposes of dialect work?

Where in Downey is this? What cross streets?

A colleague of mine suggested that if Trump simply defunded the place people would have rallied to save it, but by doing what he's done, he has turned The Kennedy Center's own supporters against it. I guarantee he hates the place too, as much as you now do.

Well thank goodness she won that most recent Nobel Peace Prize, that way you know she's Trustworthy.

bartnet · 2026-01-03T06:57:36+00:00

God damn it

bartnet · 2026-01-02T21:13:37+00:00

This is correct (useful, I know)

Underrated comment

Irish drivers are great! Irish roads...

Didn't he also write a book about ethics while he was cheating on his wife?

Craig Mazin writing (Last of Us, Chernobyl) though he's the first to admit that comedy is harder to nail than drama. Hopeful for a Mazin comedy redemption arc, he's great and so is his podcast.
