Why is the 1st Quarto of #Hamlet so hilarious?
"To be, or not to be, aye there's the point.
To die, to sleep, is that all? Aye all:
No, to sleep, to dream, aye marry there it goes."

Oh sure, first it's a Subway sandwich. But next it could be a calzone or even a tactical croissant.

@eamondaly.bsky.social and I were talking, and Val just sallied in, meowed once, then stood there, blinking.
I think she said, "I'm bored."

I'm sorry, but as pretty as Branagh's "Hamlet" is, it is one tone-deaf rendering of that play. Every time the generic "this is a big moment" music swelled under EVERY soliloquy, I wanted to claw my own ears out. And why is Hamlet always pushing on 40? While Ophelia is 21? Gross.

KY Gov. Beshear: Let me be clear. Trump has both the funding & the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that Trump has made.

I was an FBI agent for 25 years. I never felt the horror of a fully wrapped Subway sandwich caroming off my tactical vest in the darkness of night on the mean city streets; the smell of cheap yellow mustard and raw onions lingering in my olfactory banks only to retraumatize at every family picnic.
