True story: Daler Mehndi is a HUGE Indian Punjabi artist, but critics often cited the success of his music videos coming from the pretty women in them, so he said "Fuck it, I'll be the pretty girl," and made this video. It went on to become a worldwide sensation and his biggest hit.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

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.

That second season had the writing on the wall for awhile but the inevitable still hit. You're just waiting for the other shoe to drop but damn if you're not leaning forward to see what form it's gonna take.
And a devastating, brutal ending flourish.

Determining wandering monsters' motive doesn't just tell you why they're wandering, it—crucially—tells you what they want from the PCs, and how they'll go about getting it. That's a lot of bang for your buck! (12/14)
