Citing the terrific graphic novel DESTROYER by @victorlavalle.bsky.social at our Frankenstein recording session (facial expression not reflective of feelings about the book)

They complain about a male loneliness epidemic but have they even tried going shirtless and leaping to and fro on clay pots whilst wearing diaphanous trousers? They have not.

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.
