the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order #at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers #90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies” #serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent #like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries #but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate #and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited... #i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something #cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare #and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest. #it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!' #'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members... #..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)' #anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language? #maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity #and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media #and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons #and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators #instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period #anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value” #and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives #so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs) #happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world #(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills) #and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on... #...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin #oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works? #beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value #and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the #important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

Look I’m not trying to be shady but you can’t convince me that Steven wasn’t the biggest driving force behind this lol. The podcasts make him sound like such a finance bro + he grew up wealthy. I remember his response to someone struggling financially was to “get another job and save money”. Even his Instagram post about this is wildly out of touch. “For those who won’t be joining us in the next chapter”. My guy I’m sure plenty of people would love to but you’ve made it inaccessible now.

#watcher entertainment #watcher #and Ryan you’re on thin ice too #remember that time he argued with Shane by trying to say going to a theme park is just as accessible as going to a movie theater??? #Steven has always given me bad vibes idk

representation is great but i wish there were more aro/ace/aroace characters who aren't teenagers. i want to see young, middle aged and older adults discover/talk about their aro/ace/aroace identities. there is so much variation! so many stories to tell! but i dont think we can get this kind of representation without addressing the entertainment industry's obsession with youth

#mine #general critique of the entertainment industry #but also i hate the entertainment industry #in every country #yeah lets focus only on young people and on sexualizing said young people and neglecting literally everyone else #maybe i just dont have access to better representation #aro #aromantic #arospec #ace #asexual #asexual spectrum #lgbtq+ #aspec

“You can't even imagine the rehearsals leading up to that because she hasn't played with those guys in like nine years. They had to get in there and dust off the music and get it going again.”

“I was actually not able to be there at the [first] show, because I was officiating a wedding in Nashville. Right before her show started, our sister-in-law sent a link. I didn’t even know they were airing it on YouTube. I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is great.’ I made myself a drink and I sat there and watched the entire concert. I watched every second of it.”

“And I swear, I told her that was the greatest concert I've ever seen. The amount of people there, how engaged they were. I've just never seen anything like it. And I've never seen Gwen perform like that. It's a different kind of performance with No Doubt, than when it's Gwen. It’s like watching a football team do their thing all together up there. It's just a different kind of energy.”

“You could tell that they just have that energy and that connection with each other. It was unbelievable. It was incredible. I can’t even believe how it felt just watching it on YouTube. I can’t imagine what it was like in person.”

“I am going to be at the second one and I’m really excited. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

"Oh so they're capitalists now" motherfucker it's all capitalism. Youtube having 50 ads a video with an in-video sponsor read that takes a quarter of the video is capitalism. Be real

#you're not a dirty capitalist because you have to live under capitalism #you're not a dirty capitalist for trying to get sustrainabke revenue for your independent company #until there's fucking screen limits and bans on password sharing it's not a malicious move to make their own service #they aren't deleting everything. they're still gonna give access to first episodes of new shit #it's the dropout model #i get that it's a big change and i agree that the issues for international viewers will have to be dealt with because that's a PROBLEM #the issue isn't them moving to this model over youtube #there will be new shows #shit will develope #watcher #watcher entertainment

random but that episode where it’s revealed to ms bustier that chloe’s been having sabrina do all her homework for most of their lives -> i truly do not believe that they were trying to make fun of chloe for having a learning disability. in fact I don’t think they were trying to assert that she had any sort of disability at all, to me it was more so commentary on like. corruption. aka how the Rich have so much money and power that it ends up shooting themselves in the foot and they and their children and generational wealth pushes out people who don’t apply themselves. because if you can buy up the inventions of smart poor people, why bother being smart yourself? many easy irl examples that parallel the situation here but yeah I felt marinette standing up being like hey why the fuck are we going out of our way for her is essentially them saying we shouldn’t make excuses for how the 1% operates, and give them concessions when the 99% who actually need it get overlooked. obviously you don’t have to interpret it that way but ngl take one look at astruc’s retweets (or idk the state of society) and tell me he wasn’t trying to make a comment about capitalism

#text #miraculous ladybug #mlbposting #I saw someone make a post about mlbs writing #and honestly. lots of valid viewpoints #I agree that their approach to seasonal arcs and overarching themes #has not been as entertaining or strong as it could be #there’s some stuff that just doesn’t work or could’ve worked equally as well if they did it a different way #didn’t really care #but I saw something about the chloe scene and I was like um #I don’t think this is about learning disabilities actually #and this is coming from someone w a learning disability who had it overlooked for VERY long #obviously I don’t think chloe PAID sabrina to do her homework at a #$10 per essay rate #but a lot of how she manipulated sabrina #had to do w her money and access #and she wasn’t being kept in check BECAUSE of her family’s political and financial power

[geminison]

modern-ish things I would like to show dishonored characters

I got inspired by this lovely post by @dogg-teethh and kinda made my own thing but with dishonored protagonists and some side characters so, low and behold

Daud

blues music in general, he would enjoy brooding while listening, and Fleetwood Mac

thriller movies, can't abide the mysteries so would be glued to the screen until the very end. would get mad if it ends on unexplainable cliffhanger

radio dramas, something to fill the silence while doing paperwork

antidepressants, no comments

rope bondage, but not in a sexual way (yeah, I've seen it in ff and thought, yep, seems like his thing)

Corvo

90s fashion, a bit awkward but appealing somehow?

David Bowie, that's so specific? complex and diverse but funky

takeout food, he doesn't really cook, has terrible eating behavior and just plainly starvs when there no food around, so that would be helpful

absurdism, whole "acceptance without humility" thing? i dunno

Lord of the Rings, a small hero with a great burden and greater stakes, it would resonate

Emily

punk rock, 80s pop, industrial and Corvo would also show her "Rebel Rebel", she would vibe with it

Satoshi Kon's movies, great female characters and a bit of insanity

comics, variety of styles and stories to tell! she did enjoy drawing while she was younger, maybe it would inspire her to pick a pencil again

asian cuisine, a lot of different flavours, I wonder how she would like it

marine biology, so much info about whales and other weird ocean creatures, again little Emily would be so happy

headphones, she would feel even cooler while jumping from one roof to another and kicking asses

Billie

airplanes, speed, freedom and views! you are already a captain of the ship, time to tame the sky!

anarchism, yeah, fuck the government!

family therapy, grab your old man by the hand and fucking go, you need it, it wouldn't be easy but please

Killing Eve

heavy metal music and jazz, Emily and Corvo approve. Daud, well, tolerates, it's a bit too much for him

Outsider

video games, all kinds of it!

DnD, especially GM role, you don't have to be a god to feel a little bit like one, and he also has this dramatic side it would def suite him

sci-fi and horror genres

techno, ambient and modern classical music

programming and hacking, he's a nosy young man, he'd like to know all your secrets, and it's just fun ehehe

Delilah

big fashion shows for stylish and powerful lady

therapy, again, no comments

expensive cars that people own and don't drive

Florence + the Machine and MARINA

iPad, Apple pencil and some software for drawing digitally

social media

#dishonored #dishonored 2 #daud #corvo attano #emily kaldwin #billie lurk #the outsider #delilah copperspoon #if you have something else in mind please share it would be so interesting to see what others think! #corvo and daud predictably were the easy ones #then emily and the outsider were alright #and in the end i struggled with billie and delilah #but i was adamant on including them all so yeah #a good half of these things might be too specific #i don't have access to my drawing tablet so i entertain myself by writing silly little posts

[booksandbrainsandsoftthings]

At a meet-up with several other SD teams

Dogs in boots and doggles/sunshades because hot and outdoors

Lady sees my girl tucked under a display table while I browse items. Immediately gets her phone out. "I just *have* to take a picture"

I turn around. Tell her no. Explain it's weird to take pictures of medical equipment in public (especially without asking first)

Her whole grown ass son goes "MOM I TOLD YOU THAT"

Friends, the amount of control I had to exert over my face.

(Pic from a different day, because my dog is pretty and y'all should see her)

[nahidasgarden]

I-Ah. It....feels.....weird to be praying to you, but....I need some help. You're the god of wisdom and I.....could use some right now.

Do you....have any tips for starting conversations or making friends or just.....approaching other kids?

(@friends-for-freminet)

Oh! Hello! Is the name.... Freminet? That's the name that just popped in my mind so I hope it's correct!

Making friends can be quite a tricky situation... My suggestion is to leave yourself open to opportunities. You don't have to force yourself to talk to people, but if you seem kind and you just make yourself mentally available then more outgoing people may approach you. Some humans seem to have a sense of 'good person' radar.

It's similar to being a flame in the blackest of nights. The little light may be lonely at first, but eventually it'll attract life! Bugs may use the light as navigation, or little critters may use the light as warmth. You can be that light. You don't need to thrust yourself into social situations, that will only make you uncomfortable!

...

Of course, the easiest companions are the ones who share the same hobbies. So I suggest finding something in common with your target before attempting to talk to them.

For example: if you like to tinker then maybe have a few toys on you. If you happen to hear that someone else likes to tinker then that is a similarity that you can take advantage of! Or, if you like plants then keep in mind a few unique facts to bring up in conversation.

Attempting to be friends with everyone will only leave you scrambling, so it's good to start simple.

#in the game nahida is a yapper so i hope this lives up to her image <3 #i know its a lot of rambling-- please tell me if i need to space it out more for more accessable reading or if it doesnt make sense #in nahida's character stories theres a mention of a toybox #nahida apparently made many games and puzzles to entertain herself only to notice that she has nobody to play the games with #she knew all of the answers to the puzzles so she couldnt even play with those #so now nahida has a toybox of all of these little projects shes completed and shes waiting to make a friend to share it with #i think freminet would like the toybox :) #verdure reverie #genshin rp #freminet the friend!!

“I am grateful that Gwen is in the most free place that I feel like she’s ever been since I’ve known her as a human being. Not just creatively, but just as a human being, she’s floating right now.”

Pharrell, Entertainment Tonight, November 2015

“I haven’t known her anywhere near as long as Pharrell has. So this very happy, free Gwen is the only one that I’ve really known.”

Player recommendations for the bye week

Courtesy of Michelle Crechiolo January 29, 2024

The Penguins began their annual bye week on Sunday, Jan. 28, which leads into the All-Star break. That means Pittsburgh won’t return to game action until Tuesday, Feb. 6, when they host the Winnipeg Jets at PPG Paints Arena.

A number of the players shared their recommendations for books, shows, and podcasts to help pass the time over the next week-plus until hockey is back, with some adding commentary to their picks. I tried including where you can stream the shows, but if you aren’t subscribed to the service I listed, I would do some research to see if it’s accessible elsewhere. Enjoy!

Sidney Crosby: Shrinking (Apple TV+), Prison Break (Hulu)

Alex Nedeljkovic: The Art of Clear Thinking by Hasard Lee; Same as Ever by Morgan Housel (he’s listening to it as an audiobook and reading a physical copy at the same time); Born a Crime by Trevor Noah; The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo; American Sniper by Chris Kyle with Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice; Red Notice by Bill Browder

Lars Eller: Factfulness by Hans Rosling, Billions (Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+)

Noel Acciari: Reacher (Amazon Prime Video), Mayor of Kingstown and Tulsa King (Paramount+), and “I’m watching Boardwalk Empire (HBO Max) with Steve Buscemi. That one, I’ve seen already twice through. I pick long series that I haven’t seen in a couple years, like last year I did a show called Power (Hulu). Then the year before, I rewatched Game of Thrones (HBO Max). All those long ones.”

Ryan Graves: American Kingpin by Nick Bilton - “it’s unbelievable”; Born to Run by Christopher McDougall; From the Ashes by Jesse Thistle; How I Built This podcast; and the Doctor’s Farmacy podcast.

Rickard Rakell: Mario Kart on Nintendo Switch - “I’m always Waluigi. Because it’s the best character… with the kart and the wheels, he’s the fastest one.”

Drew O’Connor: Entourage (HBO Max)

P.O Joseph: “Watch the Marvel movies, all of them. There’s like, 26. That’ll keep you busy during the week. You watch two a day, you’re not even going to get half of it done. I finished all of them. I did them in (chronological order versus order of release), so Captain Marvel is first, then Captain America.”

Marcus Pettersson: When We Were Kings podcast; and “I go through a lot of shows. I feel like there's a lot of different ones that catch my eye, but I like more sci-fi or fantasy. Like the new Lord of the Rings show, I watched… the new Game of Thrones, I've watched… and the old Game of Thrones, all of those. I watched a show early in the summer called Silo on Apple TV+. It's a really good one.”

the more i sit with it, the more i feel like this whole move was rushed and poorly thought through by team watcher. from those comments about it being affordable to all and then it being $60 a year being in the video, Steven's caption which seems to have been perceived a bit shallow and backhanded by most people, lack of communication or damage control or anything really in the aftermath, in addition to the whole website not being functional for the first 15-30 minutes (at least for me), there not even being an app for the service, and I have heard it's not possible for anyone outside the US to subscribe but I'm not sure if that is correct, but the fact that they're not here to dispel or confirm those rumours is weird

#watcher entertainment #i feel like this “going radio silent” strategy of theirs isn't exactly the best way to handle this? #like a lot of people are very upset for some very valid reasons and others just have a lot of questions about the service in itself #saying 'go subscribe to this new platform of ours' and then not staying after to address any concerns or questions about how it will work #or how they will work towards it being more accessible for everyone (who pays) is just a weird strategy me thinks
