A semiotician/culture-theorist. For the foreseeable future my personal feed is all about Hamlet. Use it as a resource if you're into Shakespeare. I'm going to un-pin items after I've written about them in my personal Hamlet-diary in my native Estonian...
Oh, Hi Mark!

Wait, I know this one. He hoists them with his own petard.

Wish granted. Now you can get raw food for half off but also the cooks are incentivized to burn your food to black crisp to charge you double. Every food establishment transaction becomes a competitive guessing game as to how done your food might be at any given moment.

The Eloi had no knowledge, and cared naught for Weena floating down the stream. The Morlocks might have been cannibals but they had the technical knowledge to operate meat processing machines. They knew how to oil and spit-shine the Time Machine.

'Would you never drink alcohol ever again if you had proper drug money?'

Boy what a question.

-not writing alt-text for images

This one hits hard. I've noticed that accounts that don't write alt texts are typically ones that post mindless political memes. I've muted words like "Trump" and "Musk" but these memes come through because some really don't bother with alt texts. I just block them.

Really doing a disservice for those of us who have both Trump and Biden as blocked words, just because you don't bother to add alt text.

David Tennant's filmed Hamlet (directed by Greg Doran) is also a pretty good entry-level production. Modern-dress, which emphasizes the emo. 😉

Tom Stoppard wrote and directed this 1990 comedy based on his own play. Tim Roth and Gary Oldman play the two most minor characters in Hamlet, dealing with their existential crises with wit and wordplay as Shakespeare's story unfolds around them and they try to figure out what the hell is going on.

I fell in love with Shakespeare when I was 14 and saw this Russian version of Hamlet at the movies. Whether in film, on stage, as opera or ballet -Shakespeare is great story telling.
