I usually thing about it in terms of the roles I think I would most enjoy playing, so…
Hamlet (Hamlet)
Richard III (Richard III)
Othello (Iago)
Twelfth Night (Malvolio)
King Lear (Edmund)
Let me be very clear: if you can listen to the things Rogan says here without throwing up or having a rage-stroke, lose my number.
Also, he’s far from perfect here but major credit to Steve O for actually listening to a trans person’s story.
There’s a real opportunity for it to flourish too, with no Trek currently greenlit/in production after Starfleet Academy S2 and the remainder of SNW.
To be fair, Mikey does have pretty big “Ash Ketchum trying to sneak into a rated R movie” energy.
Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.
More like the ‘Bored of Peace’, amirite?
New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:
This is important: Trumps methods are unpopular, but his stated goals are not. Even if he is removed and the methods changed the exact same people are still going to be targeted. It’ll just be done more quietly, and if you think that makes it ok: wake the fuck up.

Quick reminder: thought crimes don’t count as ‘thought crimes’ if you actually do the crime after thinking about it. Then it’s just ‘crimes’.
Ah, is that what your silence on trans health care cost?
First sandwiches and then snowballs. What’s next, pillow fights on the streets? How will we ever survive?!?!
And if you insist on being involved, you probably did it.
I’m shocked that you aren’t giving Ronald Moore the benefit of the doubt here. SHOCKED.
Besides, I’m sure we’ll have every inane ramble shoved down our throats for days afterwards.
Isn’t it odd how taking something good and sticking it between “for-profit” and “industry” always seems to result in abject evil?
I wonder if there’s something to that.
Happy Twin Peaks day to all those celebrating 🥧☕️
If anything, the smart play is to invest MORE in people. Snatch up all the talent competitors are dumping. Make a super team. Play the long game against the AI bubble bursting.
She’s so lovely and charming in person!

Update: I hit up the merch table.
The stage for a special 40th anniversary screening of CLUE: THE MOVIE hosted by Ms. Scarlet herself, Lesley Ann Warren.
Don’t mind me, I’m just trying not to fangirl too hard about the fact that I’m about to be watching my favorite movie like 20 ft from Ms. Scarlet.
They want a person that makes the experiences and realities of disabled people, those who are of the LGBTQIA, etc. and those at the intersections of all that disappear again. Whether it is stated out loud or not, they also want that person to be white as proof that white can be "good."
I'm going to say it this way whether some people want to hear it out or not, it is clear that these people still want a white savior of their whiteness that gets them back to a feeling of normalcy. They want a person that makes the visible racism go away (while not actually stopping the problems).1/
The fact that the response to Hasan saying “I’ll vote third party over Gavin Newsom” is to try to harass/shame him into voting for Gavin (implicitly treating Gavin’s candidacy/views as inevitable) instead of saying “maybe we should change to convince him” is everything wrong with electoral politics.
There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.
I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.
There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.
I’d much rather everyone dust off their Babylon 5 DVDs and find Delenn:
He was the best part of both the Super Bowl AND Happy Gilmore 2. Now THAT takes talent.
That’s two years in a row that the Super Bowl is a huge disaster for someone named Drake. Is this a new tradition?
Of course MAGA and Kid Rock fans would hate this halftime show. Those asses clearly belonged to grown women, not pre-teen girls.
I like that you take your time! Brevity and conciseness in and of themselves do not make something good.
NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:
Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.
Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.
