I was sitting next to Gia Kourlas at the performance where a Rockette fell in the line. When it happened, we turned to each other, eyes wide in disbelief. That poor dancer can't have gotten any sleep that night. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/a...

In our latest episode, @petermarksdrama.bsky.social and I discussed his recent trip to a theater festival in Krakow, Tom Stoppard and some of our favorite shows of the year. marksvincentelli.substack.com/p/with-stopp...
With Stoppard's passing, Peter and Elisabeth ask: Who are the canonical playwrights of our time?
We wish you a merry podcast with this gift of the two of us, talking about Tom Stoppard's legacy; our recent theatrical experiences and Elisabeth's giving shoutouts to some of her 2025 favorites.

Hard no to this: French publisher Harlequin has told translators that their work will now be done by AI. They can ‘revise’ AI translations at much lower rate. It’s a subsidiary of Harper Collins so treat this as a test for rollout elsewhere

Lorenz Hart is having a moment (“Blue Moon”) so perfect timing for a concert version of “The Boys From Syracuse,” which is among my favorite musicals: not a bad or even average song in there! A director with a flair for comedy could easily do a full staging with last night’s cast.

Institutions with a purported mission to spread knowledge are actively attacking their audience’s brains
The Washington Post is launching a personalized AI podcast, saying users will be able to "shape their own briefing, select their topics, set their lengths, pick their hosts and soon even ask questions using our Ask The Post AI technology."

Ours (couple) are doubling next year.
Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

I was one of those people in a naturalization ceremony. We all had to work hard for it.
If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.
Just unspeakable assholery.

I’m of two minds about this “male loneliness crisis” or whatever. On one hand it’s pretty clear that broken social relations (community, romantic, whatever) is a social problem.
On the other hand dawg you can’t sit in the house unwashed gaming with fascists and expect to get any play from women.

One of the things I love about the “Jinkx and Dela Holiday Show” is that they could do it in a bar pretty much as is.
