Ali Louis Bourzgui ignoring the typical acceptance speech format in lieu of giving us something substantial and powerful, especially on CBS, is one of the greatest moments in recent television history. #TonyAwards

Guy at the table next to mine just said “Adam Samberg, he was the star of that television show Brooklyn 9-1-1”

Now he is describing the plot of Death of a Salesman to his wife

What is Zohran Mamdani's plan to have more original musicals with strong books and solid development transfer to Broadway

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

without class consciousness & political education, the masses in the imperial core will continue to self id w the politics of liberalism even if their desires for change go far beyond.

most communists/socialists in the us went on their ideological journey because of bernie’s insurgent “democratic socialist” campaign in 2016 when he ran as a democrat against hillary clinton. the electoral system is a viable route to reach the masses w an alternative. this is what the moneyed interest in both parties fear, this is why they spend against their left flank & fight it tooth and nail.

we must continue helping people awaken to the reality of this systems design that creates such inequality, it is not the migrant workers, nor trans people, or muslims or jews- but the billionaires and the parasitic forces of capital and its servants that are responsible for the deteriorating material conditions.

I loved Tom Lehrer.

I am so glad I knocked on his door. I am so glad I got the time with him that I did. Am listening today to some of his songs, and some of our conversations.

He didn’t want a funeral, memorial or a fuss but he was a legend and genius and curmudgeonly grump.
