Oh, Hi Mark!

GitHub - rozniak/xfce-winxp-tc: Windows XP stuff for XFCE Windows XP stuff for XFCE. Contribute to rozniak/xfce-winxp-tc development by creating an account on GitHub.

There's only a single person working on the Windows XP Total Conversion for XFCE, and it doesn't work great on every distro, not even on Mint.

Couldn't you help that fella out? If you can, help them make an easy Wizard install for popular distros? Or something? Anything?

Olla või mitte olla - see on küsimus. On ausam meie meelest kanantada neid noolesi ja lingu-lennutusi, mis vali saatus meile pihta paiskab, või viletsuste merel sõjariistus kord vastu astuda aj vägivaldselt neil otsa teha? Surra - uinuda - muud midagi; ning öelda enesele, et selle unega me lõpetame kõik hingevalu, kõik need tuhat tõuget, mis loomu-päranduseks on mei lihal - see oleks lõpp, mis tuleks kõigest hingest meil ihaldada. Surra - uinuda - ja, uinud! Ehk aga und ka näha? Ja, see'p see se on. Mis unenäod siis tulla meil võivad selle surma-une puhul, kui oma sureliku katte endal me seljast raputame - see ju paneb meid paigal seisma, see on põhjuseks, miks viletsus näeb pikka iga ilmas. Sest, kes küll kannataks elu piitsahoopa ja ilma kurjust, rõhujate iket ja uhke meele ülbet ülekohut või põlgtud armu piina, kohtu viitust ja võimumeeste vägivaldset valjust ning põlastust, mis viletsate poolt saab tasuks kannatlikul teenistusel, kui ise oma rahupõlve luua ta suudaks ainsa naaksle-pistega? Kes kannataks koormaid, hoigaks, higistaks küll elu-rõhke all, kui mitte kartus, et miski olemas on peale surma, seal uurimata maal, kust rändajad ei tule tagasi, ei segaks tahtmist ja sunniks ennem tuntud hädasi meid kandma, kui et uute rüppesse, mis alles tundmata, me tõttaksime? Nii meelemärkus araks teeb meid kõiki; ning nõnda kindla meele loodud puna me kahvatanud mõtte mõju all saab põduraks ja selle tõttu meil kõik südamikud, võimsad ettevõtted teelt eksivad ning kaduma neil läheb ka tegevuse nimigi. - Kuid vait! Seal kõnnib õrn Ophelia! - Näkineitsi, sa oma palvetesse põimi ka kõik minu patud.

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

Shakespeare for the 21st century...

7. “To even, or can’t even, that is the question”
6. “All that glisters is not goals”
5. “Out, dammed Spotify!”
4. “As You, like, Like It”
3. “Romeo, Romeo, WTF Romeo?!”
2. “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your earbuds”
1. “Alas, poor Yorick. He got ratio'd”

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.

E-girl Ophelia.

Swans on the river Avon in England. Two of them are dipping into the water to feed, so their butts are to the camera. Three more float gracefully on the water, hoping I've got digestive biscuits or possibly lagers in my pockets

Victorian statue of Hamlet at Stratford-Upon-Avon's Shakespeare memorial. He feels as we do.

View of Trinity Church, Stratford-Upon-Avon, resting place of William Shakespeare, from the opposite bank of the Avon.

Also a chilly walk through Stratford-Upon-Avon. The Child, upon seeing the Hamlet statue, remarked that "He seems very emo to me."

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

Look at this absolute beauty. It's got a gold sheen on the edges of its pages, looks so good.

Midway through Hamlet atm, the boy poked Polonius real hard and is now being escorted out of the country with two of his bestest pals.

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.

The next James Bond movie should actually be about Q, and we only see James Bond for those few minutes we'd see Q in a Bond movie. And the rest is a day in Q's overworked life. "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead," and Hamlet is Bond.

poster for Rosencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead

Rosencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead feels a bit like a pop quiz I didn't know to study for. Oldman and Roth are delightful, as are Dreyfuss and Glen. However, it's been 3 decades since I saw Hamlet in any form, so tracking the overall plot was an uphill climb. Pirate finale makes everything better.

While fandom is normally perceived as a recent phenomenon focused primarily on science fiction and fantasy, this book traces fans’ practices back to the eighteenth century, particularly David Garrick’s #Shakespeare Jubilee in 1769. link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

One of my best Hamlets: fabulous Sam West RSC 2001, dir. Steven Pimlott. Sparse, fiercely political, Bush-alike Claudius. A Hamlet on the edge, who, when he took out a gun in 1.2, for a split second, I thought, he's really going to do it.

Who the hell thought Hamlet needed a prequel about the title characters father?

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.

I'm sorry, do you mean to tell me that the Royal Shakespeare Company did a BASQUIAT version of Hamlet EIGHT YEARS AGO and nobody fucking told me???

Interviewer: I suppose I'm thinking of themes and mirroring, and if I was writing an essay— Dench: Which you're not, you're acting, trying to bring a part to life. You can't act a theme.

Getting back to the Judi Dench.

There's an old story about someone at a dinner party trying to talk about themes with a guy who was playing Hamlet and he responded, "Themes? Madam, I know not themes. Nay, it IS."

I suppose it's a measure of genius that Hamlet can be repurposed for such different ends, or at least a measure of an author knowing when to get out of the goddamn way and let the audience think and reason for themselves. Which might amount to the same thing, in the end.

If “Hamlet” can be interpreted in a nonfinite number of ways, then any constraint on the interpretation still leaves a nonfinite number of interpretations!

Some people would consent to being turned into AI versions of themselves after they're dead, just like some people consent to be turned into the skulls used during performances of HAMLET. But it has to be their choice.

Actors are weird. I saw one on stage the other day and he was all, “I’m Hamlet” or something. But he wasn’t Hamlet. According the program he was called Jake or something. And yet, when I loudly drew the audience’s attention to this, I was the one that was asked to leave. Crazy.

OK, so now that all the public search engines have been trashed by AI, I'll have to ask here.
#LitCrit

What is the earliest mention of Shakespeare's #Hamlet being "a play full of quotations"?

Was it a witty/cynical theatre critic?
