I just really love this bit from the It's A Good Life If You Don't Weaken program. "this is not nostalgia - it is expansion" is such a lovely way to think about art incorporating our cultural iconography.

a drawing of a horse that starts messy and ends up looking professional. this is a reference to the potential for this show actually being good at some point.

if I said what I thought should happen to this government, they would put me in jail www.thespec.com/news/crime/j...

In a statement to The Spectator, a spokesperson for Ontario's solicitor general said the province is focused on holding dangerous offenders accountable and strengthening the justice system.

"We've put forward a suite of tough-on-crime changes, including passing legislation to make bail more real and consequential for people accused of serious crimes, while doing everything we can to keep our communities safe by making historic investments to expand court capacity, hiring more police officers, building jails and creating permanent Intensive Serious Violent Crime Bail Teams," the statement said.

The statement added that the province is continuing to call on the federal government to make meaningful Criminal Code and bail reform.

musical fandoms are always small and skew young, but it shocks me that Ragtime doesn't produce more Coalhouse/Younger Brother. no one has EVER wanted that cookie this bad.

reading a book about the Euston Square Mystery, and not only does the victim sound exactly like a regular pain in the ass customer at work, she looks like her, too.

I can't get over how much this sounds like a possessive boyfriend screaming "YOU'RE NOTHING WITHOUT ME!" as his girlfriend drives away.

this is an accurate read on the current state of fandom in general, IMO capybaroness.substack.com/p/we-actuall...

Fandom can be fun. I’ve been part of them in my life, and if I told you which ones I would be too mortified to show my face on here again. At a certain point in my life, though, I started to realize that being a fan of something was harming my ability to think critically about it. My mental projection of what a work meant to me was coming into conflict with what the work actually was, and accommodating that dissonance was getting to be more trouble than it was worth. Fandom by nature is histrionic; the intensity of a fan’s love is directed both inwards and outwards. Moreover, fandom is a space where being histrionic is encouraged, where the quilt of community is knitted with emotional outbursts, where hierarchies are assembled based on who demonstrably cares the most. I don’t mean to moralize too much—it’s not evil to be part of a fandom. Some works are designed to foster such a reaction. The Pitt, I think, is not one of them.

Viewed from the inside, it’s easy to mistake fandom for being the only way anyone is engaging with a show. It’s easy to feel like no one would care about the show if not for you and people like you pouring endless passion into it. It’s also understandable to feel like you’re posting in a locked room and take issue with being criticized by outsiders. A common sentiment among fandom types is that they want to be “left alone.” Fandom has long been a space for outsiders, so perhaps they aren’t aware of the extent to which they have monopolized the conversation and pushed out different ways of thinking about the show. That’s the generous view. Undeniably, though, there is some severe arrogance on display here too. They feel they are owed both privacy and a seat at the table, to be ignored but to have their hands on the wheel. And they have made their existence a moral issue, as though “fan” is an oppressed class of individual.

even one that puts up a tough front is going to have fears and insecurities and moments where she doesn't know what she's doing, and it drives me CRAZY that we don't ever get that for her! anyway.

Knitting a sweater is quick and easy, except the sleeves, which take fifty years.
