I hadn't been excited about it, but timeline's new theater is a revelation. A 300 seat theater is going to be such a better advocate for new chicago playwrights than the city's horde of 100 seat theaters.

this will do more for opera than anything that any artistic director or general manager has ever done or thought to do. it’s literally just this simple. (@mayor.nyc.gov, call me, Brooklyn-born opera scholar, will travel!)

Never been to the opera before? Now’s your chance. We’re giving away 70,000 free tickets to the @metopera at the iconic Lincoln Center. Go to on.nyc.gov/opera to enter the lottery. There’s not a bad seat in the house.

Lots of clues lately to the question "What is wrong with American voters?" 1) As many as 3 million men may have some degree of CTE from playing football in high school and college 2) tens of thousands of kenyans were formerly employed doing college coursework and essays for americans

I've said it before, I'll say it again! Veal, Both, and Eelpout! were such brilliant and fantastic new plays last season. Unreal to see these razor sharp works from such new playwrights.

Deporting people due to criminal records is bad policy, no matter if the percentage of deported people who have had contact with the law is 2% or 90%. The USA spends half a trillion on its punishment complex. If it's somehow still not up to the task of adequately punishing immigrants, throw it out.

There is no funding model for running modern R1 research universities without foreign students & federal funding. We should stop pretending there is & things are somehow going to be fine & actually have our leaders get out in public & explain this to voters, loudly & clearly & constantly.

From the Preface of Ray Madoff's The Second Estate
A bar graph labeled Federal Budget expenses and revenue (2024) with three bars

Govt spending ($6.75 trillion)
Tax revenue ($4.92 trillion)
Deficit ($1.83 trillion)

Next to it is a bar chart labeled Wealth of the Rich. There is a bar labeled Wealth of the Top 1%. It is $47.6 trillion, nearly ten times the size of the tax revenue bar. 

This chart is titled Federal Burger versus wealth of the rich (2024) and the source is the US Treasury and St Louis Reserve

Squidward watches the happy-go-lucky Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick frolick with joy from behind a partially shuttered window. The dark shadows inside have overtaken him. Squidward is labeled "Chicago Left" in red and all capital letters. Patrick and Spongebob are labeled "New York Left" in red and all capital letters. The art deco inspired font is called Starsiak and it was designed by Steve Shanabruch to immortalize the Starsiak Clothing sign in Chicago's Polish Triangle.
