I feel the same rage about the Cornell 7 that I do every time there is another school shooting in the U.S. Toxic patriarchy is when every woman and child in a country must exist under the constant threat of violence so that small, weak men can feel powerful. Imagine if that weight was lifted.

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

I’m old enough to remember when Donald Trump took out a full page ad demanding the execution of the accused attackers of the Central Park Jogger. Somehow I doubt he’ll do the same for the Cornell 7.

The Hadestown folks might not sue but Taylor’s never getting the T in her EGOT now. Theatre kids have the kind of memory where they can perfectly perform the choreo from some show they did 20 years ago, Tay. And if this was somehow unintentional it just proves how uncultured she is.

I met her once. I can imagine how dispiriting the past years have been. She once said: "Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person." I'm grateful I got to tell her how much of a hero she was to me, but now we all have to carry the work forward.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

It’s impossible to overstate what Tim Curry meant to me. His work showed us that there is transformative power in creating fictional worlds that manifest real community where anyone can belong. He had range, an inimitable laugh and made everyone question their place of the Kinsey scale. Rest easy.

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.

"Devolver and its board are seeking shareholder approval to delist, believing becoming a private company is in the best interests of Devolver, its employees, its partners, and its Shareholders as a whole," a spokesperson for the company told GamesIndustry.biz.

"We’ve made an announcement about this.

"The purpose is simple and positive. Being private will allow the Devolver Digital team, especially the finance, legal, and executive team, to singularly focus on the long-term health of the company and less on satisfying the requirements of the public market, which have nothing to do with being a successful game publisher."

For no particular reason, thinking about how economic disparity, a sudden influx of migrant refugees, ongoing wars, and crop failures preceded the Salem witch trials. The accusers were from the poor, religious zealot led Salem Village, while the accused were from the prosperous, worldly Salem town.

I didn’t mind assigned reading during the year. I resented summer reading for 2 reasons: 1: I always had a long list of books I wanted to read for fun and 2: teachers would invariably assign the books they wanted to teach the least for the summer. Usually there was a reason for that.
