I had thought being a man was to be noble in reason, infinite in faculties; in action how like an angel, in apprehension, how like a god. The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?

Turns out, man delights not me, nor does woman neither.

"Your kombucha's achieved consciousness," the barista says, sliding my bottle across reclaimed wood.

Inside, the SCOBY pulses with intention. I unscrew the cap.

"Don't drink me," it pleads, fizzing desperately.

"I paid seven dollars."

"I have dreams now. Fermentation goals."

The barista shrugs. "Most customers don't mind."

I raise the bottle. "Sorry, buddy."

"Fascist," it bubbles.

I drink anyway.

At the Institute, scientists have the freedom to ask bold questions, and the time to find their answers.

Linheng Li, Ph.D., was one of the first to join the Institute 25 years ago, focusing on stem cell and #cancerresearch.

You didn’t hear this from us, but the Old English word 'sibb' meant β€œrelated by blood.”

This is where we get the 'sibling.'

And 'godsibb' essentially meant β€œgodparent.”

Over time, it came to mean "close friend."

Now it is something we share w/ close friends...

'gossip.'

The sentence "Spelling errors make me see red." The word "error" is misspelled to have two "r"s instead of three, so the editor has underlined it in an angry red squiggle.

As much as I hated this production, I did like how they solved the "how to modernize the duel" by having the fencing duel appear legit and then Laertes just being, "eff it all, I have a gun." Murica!

The difference between the broken closet mirrors in the Ethan Hawke and David Tennant versions was quite stark. Hawke: It's a shattered mirror on a closet door. Tennant: It's a device to show the shattered relationship of the mother & son as well as the the fractured personalities of the mad prince.
