I was lucky enough to see them in Macbeth at the Donmar in London. A well-deserved classic performance.
One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.
Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

Saw a thoughtful thread about AI, don't want to QT or argue. But. The biggest rage factor with LLMs is the people who, because genAI is transformative for coding, think it's transformative for everything else, because they devalue every other form of work and labor and knowledge.
“Every Republican president comes to office, cuts benefits for the poor, cuts taxes for the rich, raises prices, and then bombs a Middle East country.”
@mehdirhasan.bsky.social explains how Trump’s ‘anti-war’ campaign was a lie, noting the president has bombed seven countries in his second term.
Hillary Clinton just posted her opening statement to the Comer Committee which she is testifying before today. It's part of the Save Donald from Epstein Investigation. The committee has essentially taken over the town of Chappaqua for the purpose. @hillaryclinton.bsky.social
i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time
Put this on the department flyer
Leontyne Price is 99 years old today! My favorite soprano and (in my opinion) the best Spinto soprano in opera history.
Here is Ms. Price singing “Tu, Tu Piccolo Idio” from Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. She is so exceptional the audience breaks onto applause during the aria. youtu.be/YL-delzX4QI?...
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Gassing little children here in Portland 🤬
A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.
In other words, the liberal arts has provided an all-you-can-eat, buffet style approach to education while the “skills-based,” careerist approach that now seeks to replace it is more like being force-fed spoonfuls of tepid gruel.
Egyptology, Computing (this was in 1978), Anthropology of Religion, Social Change, Abnormal Psychology (!)
We’re just not a free country.
Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.
The U.S. has successfully convinced its people that “the humanities are frivolous and STEM is Important and Real” is basically a law of nature: this is absolute nonsense that we should stop putting up with.
If you live outside the United States, I'm sure the senator's office would love to hear how much more you respect the United States now that Donald Trump is president again.
Here's his number: (202) 224-5251
Cruelty is not the point, because cruelty does not capture the fact that they take pleasure in this man’s pain.
Sadism is the point.
Not forgetting Keith Porter shot by DHS ICE on 12/31/25
A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.
Alex Pretti's parents found out about his death when the Associated Press called them. They then had to make phone calls until they reached the county medical examiner. So heartbreaking. coloradosun.com/2026/01/24/c...
AOC: "Early reports are that he was an ICU nurse at the Mpls VA. So we are talking about Donald Trump accusing a VA ICU as being a terrorist against the United States. A man who was treating service members to our country ... his final act on early was helping a woman pushed to the ground."
My niece in Dallas found this hysterical, and accurate:
1/ Measles cases are climbing fast and right now, we're seeing the worst January for #measles infections in over 30 years. Hundreds of cases have already been reported across the U.S. in a month that historically sees slower spread during outbreaks due to school breaks and colder temperatures.
Living on just one other planet? Or 5, 10 or 12 of them?
I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.
I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.
