Ohephen J. Epershand @ohephen.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I wish I was enjoying An Arcane Inheritance more, but it's set less than an hour from where I went to college, in a way that is tragically making me more nit-picky than excited. On paper I should love this 😭😭😭😭😭 030
Ohephen J. Epershand @ohephen.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Yeah I really love about our weekend that every show we saw I wished I could share with a different high school bestie 010
Ohephen J. Epershand @ohephen.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I can't promise to stop being the devil on your shoulder but we should probably schedule more than an hour between shows next time, I admit 🫠 011
Ohephen J. Epershand @ohephen.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Honestly glad I don't understand the reference and can just enjoy this Brad performance 000
Ohephen J. Epershand @ohephen.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I love that 2026 Broadway has my favorite act 1 closer and is about to get my favorite act 2 opener ("The Power and the Glory" from Galileo, assuming it makes it over from Berkeley Rep.) 020

Ohephen J. Epershand @ohephen.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It's a bummer because Effective Altruism did mean what it said back in 2010-ish, but no one wanted to hear that according to all the data, charity gets the most effective as it approaches UBI. Especially not the tech billionaires who'd gotten excited about the promise of novel, superior charity. 130
Ohephen J. Epershand @ohephen.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It does feel important to note that EA's definition of "giving charity in a way that works really well" is probably not the same as yours, because it's been subverted by the cult for years www.wired.com/story/effect...wired.comEffective Altruism Is Pushing a Dangerous Brand of ‘AI Safety’This philosophy—supported by tech figures like Sam Bankman-Fried—fuels the AI research agenda, creating a harmful system in the name of saving humanity 100
Ohephen J. Epershand @ohephen.bsky.social · 12/09/2026For a while last year I kept getting ads for what I thought was a wildly overpriced hardcover copy of Piranesi, but turned out to be a Giovanni Piranesi art book. Both actually pretty cool! 111
Ohephen J. Epershand @ohephen.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I did chuckle at "a freeway has limited access (no stop lights, no intersections), whereas a highway can have stop lights and intersections" as a CA thing. Because yes, the obvious followup is "This highway that starts or stops being a freeway every 10-30 miles. Do you call it '101' or 'the 101'?" 010

Ohephen J. Epershand @ohephen.bsky.social · 01/08/2026And Michael *thinks* he is supposed to be taking care of Sam, but instead the little gay nerd gets to rescue his sexy meatball of an older brother, and THAT is the heart why The Lost Boys is queer media. 030
Ohephen J. Epershand @ohephen.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Musical Sam sings about being queer, movie Sam casually covers his bedroom walls with sexy pinups of men who look weirdly like his brother. (Because, presumably, all the sexy men including Jason Patric were selected based on Schumacher's preferences) 120
Ohephen J. Epershand @ohephen.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Also I love how in both pieces Michael is the subject of male gaze while Sam is a gay character doing gay things. It's such a fun older brother/younger brother dynamic that Michael goes out and gets a dramatic ear piercing with Star, while Sam just has a pierced ear from the start of the movie . 130
Ohephen J. Epershand @ohephen.bsky.social · 01/08/2026It was so kind of them to make the musical based on everybody's memories of the Lost Boys instead of the film itself, and insert back in the perfect love triangle where everyone thinks they're the V, which is simply not there in the film. 141
Ohephen J. Epershand @ohephen.bsky.social · 01/08/2026The actual thing about watching the actual Lost Boys film is that it's super gay but with very little homoeroticism -- it's gay because of how aggressively it male-gazes Jason Patric, and that makes it easier to project homoeroticism into it in memory. 130
