@TwitterTwat, @AmaaliLokuge & @KateJeffrey1 please allow me a modicum of disappointment that a nonexistent microchip in my vaccination can’t order @amazon stuff telepathically. I still hope to get it (the vaccine, not Alexa) Real soon. https://t.co/nbERyFn8cS
The 2018 John Mulaney “Horse In A Hospital” bit is still so great 😂 Best part is he doesn’t mention the name Trump at all. Oh America, you finally removed the horse from the hospital. DO NOT let it back in 😬
What a treat to be immersed in the artful anarchy of the reborn Under the Radar Festival in NYC. Last night, I attended a book club, in which fiction devoured life (and vice-versa) as Pan Pan, the reality-scrambling Irish troupe, romped through Miranda July's "The First Bad Man."
Thank you to everyone who joined us over the past 2 weeks at @lincolncenter.
We've had a ball bringing The First Bad Man to US audiences as part of @utrfest.
Thank you as well to @artscouncil_ie, @dubcitycouncil and @culture_ireland for all the support.

There's no overstating how extraordinary such a statement by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is, warning Israel it's heading towards "strategic defeat": https://t.co/5BTSVDfTCb
"In this kind of a fight the center of gravity is the civilian population. And if you drive them into the arms of the enemy you replace a tactical victory with a strategic defeat."
Essentially saying what is obvious common sense: you create more Hamas than you destroy by killing civilians. And as such what Israel has been doing so far is nothing but dig the hole it's in deeper and deeper...
After, obviously, it's doing all this with Pentagon weapons and support in a myriad of ways, so Austin's words are pretty disingenuous... BUT they see Israel as their "unsinkable aircraft carrier" in the region so they must feel that were they to stop this active support it'd "sink" pretty quickly, which they aren't ready to do.
Which actually goes to illustrate just how deep the hole Israel - and America - have put themselves in. The "unsinkable aircraft carrier" is taking water and needs constant US support to avoid sinking but the US is now telling them publicly - in very frank terms - that their actions are actually accelerating the sinking...
How many under the radar festivals, building new audiences and supporting new artists could you fund for one go-nowhere Alicia Keys show, @PublicTheaterNY ?
The Under the Radar Festival will no longer be? Break, break my heart. That was where I saw perspective-altering shows from the Belarus Free Theater, and Manual Cinema, and Back to Back, for starters. NYC is feeling increasingly less hospitable to the adventurous theatermaker.
It’s a bad sad day when @PublicTheaterNY cancels @UTRFestival - abandoning it’s only connection with the experimental, independent spirit that makes New York great. Vale.
Tennessee GOP repeatedly failed to pass a resolution condemning neo Nazis, failed to expel a child molester, failed to expel a woman abuser, failed to expel two reps under federal investigation—but immediately expelled a Black lawmaker who represents TN’s most diverse district.
