Someone reviewing the Todrick Hall with "and it's not even on Broadway yet" feels like a threat.

It's SI now.
Black-and-white photo of the Fascist Party headquarters at Palazzo Braschi in Rome, 1934. The building’s facade is covered with the word “SI” repeated in rows, with a giant stylized face of Benito Mussolini at the center. Pedestrians and cars fill the street below.

It's kinda wild that the only not-for-profit theaters to be lead/sole producers of Tony-winning Best Plays or Musicals in the last 20 years are Lincoln Center and the National Theatre. MTC, Roundabout, Second Stage, et al found dead in a ditch.

Very helpful to be researching a job and seeing the exact person with a visiting professorship in the department who the ad was specifically made for.

High school teachers, et al have got to stop having students turn in Google Docs if only for my sake because a solid 50% of the questions I answered today as students turned in essays during class were "How do I make it a Word doc?"

Taking the DAMN YANKEES "revisal" to Broadway but replacing the best part of the Arena Stage production (Ana Villafañe) with Julianne Hough is an actual crime.

The incredible Mary understudy had Signature's THE SECRET GARDEN upcoming in her bio. But according to her resume, we're not just being denied hearing her sing "Hold On" but also suffering the indignity of a woman in her 30s understudying the old housekeeper.

Griselda Gambaro died yesterday. I've been teaching her play THE CAMP / EL CAMPO the last few years, and the way students devour it, even as it is dense and knotty is proof of her profound power as a political writer.

On 9/11, I kept asking my 3rd grade teacher what the Pentagon was, and she kept saying "We'll talk about it later," but we never did. I'm still bitter about it.

I fucking love teaching Thoreau. And when students are asking really good probing questions and have great insights about "Civil Disobedience"? Nothing better.

[Sigh. He isn't claiming he was lifted out of the rubble on 9/11. He's claiming he was in the US Steel Building at SOME unclear point post-9/11 when there were still concerns about its structural integrity and people tried to get him to leave. This is probably ALSO a lie. But... come on.]

They should not let people with such limited understanding of teaching and learning be deans of entire colleges at the most selective university in the country. AI "encouragement" in writing courses is a declaration that you don't care if students learn to write. college.harvard.edu/about/deans-...

Students who previously withdrew from my intro literature class during difficult semesters have enrolled in it again. I've never had this happen. It's both encouraging and curious, and hope they don't regret round 2.

there was obviously no creative impetus to making a new Harry Potter but the extent to which they are not even trying to make this look different from the movies is kind of astonishing

Screenshotted excerpt from a conversation transcript, reading as follows

Cottle: My guess is that you then completely reject the idea that we wound up with this wretched administration in part because of the backlash to the excesses of woke, especially alienating young men, who were told they were the problem, just generally speaking.

Bouie: [this line is highlighted] I completely reject that for simple reasons of linear time. This administration was elected in 2024. At peak woke, when Nancy Pelosi was wearing kente cloth, Democrats won a trifecta, right? At the--

I know it's important to have rules about branding, but seeing it written out in a bulleted list that a school mascot "is always happy" and that you must "always keep" its "clothes on" has me losing it.

The simplest way to flip that dynamic would be to write institutional policies that largely define AI use as academic dishonesty BUT allow instructors freedom to carve out exceptions if they want or need—make it OPT IN, not opt out—put the enforcement onus on institutions, not individual teachers

The problem is that the vast majority of American universities are putting the full onus of AI policy onto individual instructors—sure, we can write “no AI” on a syllabus, but then we have to become the AI police (& judges), which hurts relationships with students & pulls us away from instruction

She specifically uses grok for "research on controversial topics," which feels like especially journalistic practice
