Troy Parrot just scored a hat-trick to take Ireland into the World Cup final playoffs.

Is there a more Martin Amis name IRL than that?

I feel that news outlets need more consistency in whose face needs to be blurred out in this photo
Sky News article - "Man charged over allegedly wearing military uniform without permission on Remembrance Sunday" The photo is of the parade with every face blurred out except the offending fake Admiral Guardian - "Man charged after 'fake admiral' seen at Remembrance Sunday event" The same photo as the Sky News article, but the fake Admiral is the only person whose face has been blurred

If you never seen Gavin Bryars perform ‘Jesus Blood’ before, tomorrow is the perfect opportunity. It’s wonderful and always very moving in this setting.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

They are filming the new Spiderman in my local London park. They’ve converted a disused hospital into an ER room. Took this earlier - is that Spidey I see along the top walkway?

Fired after one day on the building site. My brick glue was ‘runny’ and ‘not called that’ and my wall icing ‘uneven’ and ‘not called that’.

Fabulous cover of Kate Bush’s Army Dreamers that crossed my timeline today (and really made me think about the lyrics). I particularly like the way the chorus is handled by two ‘arguing’ voices

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it
One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way. What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money. Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight. To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.
