One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way. What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money. Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight. To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

This only happens to you once

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

There was a shooting yesterday that was one of the ones that was big enough that we all had to know it had happened so they sent me out to lower the flag to half-mast outside work. Half-staff they call it on land I don’t know. I looked at my phone out of habit on the way back inside and there was another shooting going on. A real nasty one it looked like. It wasn’t immediately clear to me what the protocol here was supposed to be. If I were meant to put the flag all the way back up to reset things or lower it halfway down again still. They had fired the main flag-knowing guy last month who had been in the National Guard a hundred years ago or something and this wasn’t really my job in the first place but I said I’d do it so I wouldn’t get fired myself. I figured I’d be proactive so I lowered it down to the ground to one-third mast and went back inside feeling fine about it and none of my bosses seemed to care and then there was another shooting by the time I got to my desk. I went back outside again and lowered it further still. The next day I came in to work and you won’t believe what happened. Now we were in a Zeno’s Paradox–type of a scenario vis-à-vis the flag height and its approach to the soil. People inside were debating what the definition of a mass

shooting was and the managers were getting a little pissy about how work was being waylaid by all of us streaming the news on the computer all day. Trying to find out what kind of guy it was who killed everybody this time. Everyone hoping it was the other type of guy to balance it out. Like trading free throws at the end of a close game. Being sort of new I was left to my own devices so I went out and lowered the flag halfway closer to the ground once more. Probably not worth remarking on what happened by the time I came in the next morning and the next one too and just between us I was running out of real estate there height-wise with the flag so I went around back to the maintenance area to look for the custodian but there was some kid there instead who said in his cockney accent that the guy had been sacked so I borrowed a shovel from this kid he was an actual Victorian child with a sooty face smoking a cigar and everything and went back out to the flagpole and started digging to give the flag some breathing room so it would never have to touch the ground which was considered poor form in the flag community. I had dug halfway to the molten core by the end of the next month but on the upside I was bulking up. The planet itself was spinning on this flag pole’s axis now. I was going to hoist an upside-down American flag in a country on the other side of the globe at this rate. It was going to be a whole international incident. People were going to get shot over it.

A black and white drawing of three dachshunds arranged vertically, each holding a different optical illusion object in its mouth, and the dogs themselves drawn as if a single line optical illusion. The top dog holds a Penrose triangle, the middle dog holds a Necker cube, and the bottom dog holds a Penrose trident. The dogs’ bodies are elongated in an exaggerated cartoon style. The artwork is signed “@IndieTheIntrovert” in the bottom right corner.

Everyone stop, this is important

It’s too early to be mad about Spurs business this window

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Do not get fooled by QAnon for resistance folks.

Some of y'all cant handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

Arsenal sowing: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

Arsenal reaping: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Thanks! It was tremendous getting to celebrate that trophy - we had about 50 supporters watching the match here in Raleigh, and boy did we celebrate. And I’ll take you up on that offer if the timing works out! Would be great fun to see you again, I know my parents loved the time they had with you

That was a young squad out there today, with a few signings I think they’ll do alright next season! Glad to have the Tyne-Wear Derby back in the league too

“You will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours” goes so fucking hard

Very few goths are born into it, most of us entered it through extensive reading

For some reason I read this as Lucas Moura and actually smiled at the idea of him just toiling away on some distant pitch

Old men will get Ange gone, supporters trust misery merchants will get to write one handed screeds about the board, everyone gets what they really want.

Gotta say. The best thing about being a supporter of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club is that one day we all get to die

Haha noted, thanks!

I bought House of Leaves about a year ago on a friend’s recommendation but haven’t actually read it. You’d recommend?

I do the opposite, but mostly because I was surrounded by tall people my whole life.
Six feet: ok yeah sure, everyone says they’re six feet tall, let’s see proof
Six foot one: oh ok this guy’s above six feet, he clearly means business.
(I’m right on the line at 6 feet 0.5 inches)

Extremely grateful to @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social for fully Skattebo-pilling me so I can enjoy this game to the degree that I have been. Shouting SKATTEBOOOOOO till my neighbors start to worry

If Spurs lose this game I swear to God I'm going to keep loving this team and root for them every single match
