When you bring this up, barely one millisecond elapses before people start yelling about unions. But the truth is, there are many reasons that it's now prohibitively expensive to capitalize musicals, and no solution will be found unless everyone is willing to leave their preconceptions at the door.

I don't think Cats: The Jellicle Ball closing is in itself a crisis, but ALW is not wrong in noting that there is no viable economic model for bringing a musical to Broadway in 2026. "We'll break even if we sell out for two years" is not a model. It's a prayer. www.broadwayworld.com/article/Andr...
This is stunning. The cruelest possible eulogy for Lindsey Graham comes from the man to whom he willingly handed over the threadbare remnants of his soul.
Tom Cruise is absolutely going for that Oscar by undertaking an astonishing physical transformation into...what he would look like in 2026 under normal circumstances. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSnE...
And instead of being upset at feeling misled, I would suggest that you put that energy toward an understanding that paywalls exist because journalists and writers need to get paid, and reframe your experience of clicking on stories to incorporate an understanding of why they're often not free.
Here's the thing, and I say this without anger: I am not a public utility or service provider. I'm a guy who writes things and posts other things. You either do or do not follow me; either way, it costs you nothing. And posts are short. So no, I am not going to add "Warning: Paywall" every time. >
Imagine driving to the theater thinking that movies are free!
I do, but they're not infinite, so I decide on gift links case by case.
To the people here who bark "Paywall!" at me when I post a link to something: Yeah. I'm aware.
People who violate your "shared values" do not share your values.
Previous post deleted because I didn’t quite believe it once I wrote it.
It's also important to remember that if Lindsey Graham had had the courage to come out as a gay man, he would still have been every bit the terrible person he ended up being and probably would have cheerfully voted against our interests. I would gently warn against discussing it as the key to him.
People deserve to be remembered for who they were. Lindsey Graham tried on many different skins and ultimately settled on the very worst version of himself. There were, at one point, a few shreds of something you could call principles--not many, but they existed. There were none at the end.
I love this. The NYT's response to having their reporters subpoenaed is a piece portraying a frantic Kash Patel doing an irate Trump's bidding that at once humiliates both men and makes clear that this White House will never, ever, ever be able to plug the leaks. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/u...
It happens to all of us!
[Raises hand politely, clears throat]: Gay men actually count as men.
My 15-months-younger brother and I could not have had more mismatched taste in TV when we were kids. He was Star Trek and Mission: Impossible. I was Bewitched and Mary Tyler Moore. Emergency! was where we intersected. Apparently for different reasons.
