95-year-old William Shatner was on Frakes and Spiner's podcast so I listened to it for a little bit, and while its truly impressive that he's in such great shape for someone so old but he's also pretty boring. That said: he said he enjoyed the gay kink domcom Pillion and that *was* interesting.

And pressed on whether the red line he and Dominguez share against school closures is more important than the story of the woman who said Dominguez sexually harassed her when she was 17, Johnson responded, “First of all, let’s just separate the two.”

“Those are two separate matters, and I want to be emphatically clear that the OIG’s responsibility in this moment, to answer questions with expediency, is an imperative.” Johnson said. “And on a separate note, having a school district that invests in working people, it’s important to me, and that’s important to Chicagoans across this city.”

One summer I worked as a counselor at a computer camp teaching bored teens how to make rudimentary games in various basic tools, and more or less they would all make something like this. Except those were probably better because they'd make like actual levels and stuff.

you add a gay subplot to phantasmagoria 1 - the FMV game of theirs that did the most business - FMV games would be as numerous as free to play treadmills today

The best part in any local production is when the director slips in a deep local joke into the show ("maybe he lost all his money investing in the Centerville housing complex") and the audience goes wild. That's what theater is all about.

This is really important. From a 1970 issue of Screw Magazine, here is a review of an erotic play starring one “Sylvester E. Stallone." Al Goldstein describes Stallone's penis as "not so immense or threatening as to make you insecure readers not take your wives"
