Screen grab of an email: At an upcoming performance of Carmen on Saturday, May 16, Seattle Opera will be hosting a Furry Night with a special pre-show meet-and-greet with bass-baritone Christian Pursell, who plays Escamillo in the opera. Pursell will appear as his fursona, Chester the Geroo, and will be available for photos before the show. Although Pursell will not be in his fursuit onstage, we are encouraging audience members to attend the opera in their own costumes and fursuits, if they would like.

This amazing (real!) thing that is happening next month would make an absolutely incredible episode of Frasier

"An' I can't stan' 'im!"

Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) visits diction coach Phoebe Dinsmore (Kathleen Freeman) in Singin' in the Rain (1952)

The lady interviewing the cat is Michelladonna, a comedian who has a social media show called Shop Cats in which she goes around the city profiling bodega cats and she’s hilarious and the show is fucking adorable

When SUNSET BOULEVARD was first unveiled at private screenings in Hollywood, I remember an executive's coming away from it talking as if he'd just been to a wife-swapping session with his father. (1968)

In all the public transportation hubs I’ve ridden, this really is one of the best out there.

Out of all the trains I’ve ridden, nothing beats riding the red line to silver spring on a midafternoon

So, a reason I keep sharing alterna-reads to HP is bc I'm not talking to superfan adults, I'm talking to parents/teachers/librarians who are making book purchasing choices for kids -- I really think it's a needed step in killing the cyclical support this series gets

Screenshot of baldurs gate 3 character generator with character that looks like bob hoskins play a Drow, I'm going to play a Half Elf Cleric of Selune-" No. I grow tired of filling Faerun with hotties and encouraging my party's fatherless behavior. To remedy this I have made Your Dad, the ultimate 1:1 replica of the average New Jersey father to save the realm and put a stop to my party's sad, horny business. And before you can even ask "oh what is the Guardian Your Mom or something" of course she is you fool

There are gamers and then there are Gamers

This is how I found out I still have most of this play memorized because some unhinged 19 year old got control of our theater department my freshman year of HS and made me play Lady Bracknell, a definitely bananapants choice all around, and yet.

Call. Call. Call.

I cannot express what a disaster this will be, honestly.

It's objectively hilarious Jack Harlow made an R&B album and is now dressing exactly like Andy Samberg's character from "Threw It On The Ground."

What if in 20 years an actor named LeBron B. James comes along and people spend weeks arguing about whether him or Michael B. Jordan made better films

Picture of a gray haired woman wearing a shirt that reads on the back “come see my daughter’s film A Woman’s Work at Santa Barbara Film Festival 2/11 at 11:20am 2/12 6:20pm I am a Jewish mother seeking a girlfriend/future wife for my filmmaker daughter (she is multilingual and has an adorable dog). Please inquire with me”

Best advertisement I’ve seen so far at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival

a white crowned robin chat stands atop a book titled “a dumb birds field guide to the worst birds ever”

that’s it, i’ve finally taken my best photo of all time 😅

At least twice a day I want to hurl myself off a bridge or something and then my toddler wanders over and says, like, “Mama, I love Woodstock, who is a veeeerrey small bird, but I don’t know the name of the one who is his dog friend?” and I’m like, oh, oh my god, the unrelenting superbloom of life!!

Any chance any ER nurses follow me on here? I need to ask a question about procedure. It’s for something I’m writing.

When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

If you work for DHS and hate your boss / leadership, you have the chance to do the funniest thing.

Be a legend

It is not the same app anymore. The US owners have ties to Israel and all of your information. Delete it!

I need a job and I would not take a job working for Bari Weiss. If you are a commentator who cannot see what the play is there, I'm not sure you should be offering commentary.

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

I literally just finished Seek You today and then this pops up in my feed. Beautiful work, a fabulous tribute to your friend. I am so sorry for your loss, may his memory be a blessing.

Current status of the fundraisers for those killed by ICE:
Renee Good: $1,499,580
Alex Pretti: $1,289,249
Keith Porter, Jr. $302,423

Luis Beltrán Yanez Cruz: $18,640
Victor Manuel Diaz: $2,538
Geraldo Lunas: $2,260
Luis Gustavo Núñez: $1,935

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

OpenAI boss Sam Altman denies sexual abuse allegations made by sister Ann Altman filed a lawsuit alleging her brother sexually abused her between 1997 and 2006.
