Dana Stevens: “Who Was Shakespeare?” Dana Stevens on the distance between Hamlet and Hamnet—and the distance between art and life.

Shakespeare is infamously unknowable—that hasn't stopped biographers and filmmakers from trying. @thehighsign.bsky.social on what Chloé Zhao's HAMNET gets right, where it falls short, and why the gaps might be the point. yalereview.org/article/dana...

The way it goes is you look at your to-do list and then close your computer and walk away, saying, “see you tomorrow,” with a dashing wink.

I wish to spread the word about the healing restorative value of a spontaneous unplanned day off.

SPLASH (1984) not only deserves its place in the National Film Registry but *also* a Criterion edition, so my campaign to write the essay for the latter starts NOW ✨🧜‍♀️

This film is vitally important for the oeuvre of Howard/Hanks, Canadian comedians, and great monster romances:

If I were a member of the Green Lantern Corps, I would simply not hang out with Larfleeze.

Beto sounds like he could be a Democrat. But what do I know?

“I'm 45, almost 46. I very much grew into adolescence through the 90s. I'm very Lewis-ing myself through this story, right?”

Listen to Patrick Horvath explain some of the autobiographical aspects of BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES: RITE OF SPRING🔗🧵⬇️

"I don't want to have to explain to my kids what gay people are" is ridiculous. You have to explain everything to them! They've never seen anything before! What else are you doing this about? You don't like broccoli so you just refuse to ever let your child know about what broccoli is? Okay man

It’s absolutely insane that we have chosen to use our human ingenuity in 2026 to make the environment *worse*

“At the end of the day, she didn’t sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,” said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. “It felt like a betrayal of the utmost.”

Cunningham’s comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was “no longer worthy of being our representative” and he had to run against her. “It drove me to a point of saying, ‘She needs to go, and she needs to go now,’” the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotte’s Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%.

AI is incapable of understanding the human emotion of art. It cannot understand how words impact these human emotions.

When I was translating Showa: A History of Japan, there were MANY times I was crying at my keyboard. My job was to make you cry at the same time.

AI cannot cry. It cannot do this.

In the story of Humpty Dumpty it is never said that he is an egg. However, it is never said that he is NOT an egg. This means that any character in ANY story could be an egg unless explicitly stated otherwise. Keep that in mind when you read a Jack Reacher novel

I go back to sixties illustration all the time, such a fertile period. Maybe when technical proficiency met 'pissing about'
