And here it is, my Best of Stage 2025, which if you've followed along all year, you probably figured out my top picks pretty easily already. tapeworthy.blogspot.com/2025/12/stag...

To be fair, people are stupid in all airports.

Sometimes I just want to give it all up and become the nanny of three sickly sweet children who might be even richer if their handsome British father produced a musical about cats.

I think I found my new favourite song. www.instagram.com/reel/DewKToZ...

Mark, Maureen, Roger, Angel:

Currently at a kids party in a Toronto park wondering why we need 1000 more cops when one has been just idling his car next to the playground while checking his phone for the last hour.

Shopify's CEO is on X advocating for Brad Bradford to win because of a City of Toronto post about speed limits featuring two men and a stroller, something he clearly doesn't think will happen under Brad's rule. This is the guy who thinks rich people deserve more votes. This is who Brad attracts.

stares at Toronto voters rn

Victor, the Traitors player who has actually got everything correctly figured out and repeatedly articulates his big theory but is so sweaty and insistent and lacking-in-even-basic-chill that nobody will believe him, is very Bluesky-coded.

A great solid production with a great cast of a very epic, sprawling story told intimately... that said, nothing I can really criticize this stage adaptation but also didn't feel any huge emotional effect (maybe I'm just dead inside).

Uh, so this is a thing and I didn't hate it. Def have notes but chessy cute musical based on a cheesy cute movie. This is the definition of very good mediocre unnecessary musical adaptation. But some great things especially when they leaned into the Zen-ny Japanesey moments.

Here for A Fine Balance. I know nothing about this, nor the book it's based on.

My honest take on the TO Mayoral Race is that Olivia Chow is pretty good at governing and pretty bad at campaigning. We're voting for someone to be good at running the city and she is pretty good at that.

Drop some GHOSTS or SPIRITS 👻🖤

When the profile still says no Asians, no fats, no fems.

finally started Interview with the Vampire show but uh... is it me or is the interviewer terrible on this show? yes I know who it is but his line readings here seem particularly bad

Waiting until Ukraine showed us what’s up before Canada started talking about getting rid of starlink is the same nearsighted freemarket perspective that sells airports to American oligarchs and calls legislating ai “complicated.” We’ve known the whole time. We don’t need bombs to tell us.

only took almost 4 hrs to buy tix to a show that is certainly shorter than that because the Mir>!($'s couldn't get their online pre-sale sh!t together 😒

they could not find an Indian actor for nearly 10 years?

flipping back between Celeb Traitors UK and the first normie US Traitors, and both work so well (altho in both cases, I find myself rooting for the Traitors, which isn't always the case). (and also reiterates my theory that a mix of "celeb" and normies is the least successful combo)

WHAT. IN. THE. FUCK. IS. WRONG. WITH. MEN. JUST HORRIFIC.

Rarely in the area so went to my favourite Wonton place that basically only serves wonton noodles and now... There's no shrimp in the wontons... What? In this economy? Because of this economy? Is it even a wonton anymore?

I will never get over how many people will vote against their own interests (thanks to racism misogyny homophobia owning up to the lefties)

When I testified to Congress this summer I highlighted Hines’ close ties to Tether. The WSJ has now uncovered a bombshell: Tether was paying Hines WHILE he crafted Trump’s signature piece of crypto legislation. apple.news/ALBX-2SuhRe6...

#intermissionPost well so far, it's a show I guess.

huh, I've been to countries 2,3,4,5 in the past 6 weeks! (and 1-5 in the past 3 months)

Pretty Woman for Tax Purposes

I hear this with people in every city... "there's someone sitting on the sidewalk asking for change and I feel threatened"

Oh nooooooooo

2. Gillis a BAD "SNL" host and has been THRICE. He puts in no evident effort and gets no evident pleasure out of doing something that is supposed to be fun. There's no evidence the cast likes working with him or the writers like writing for him and he should never host "SNL" again. 2/2

I have two complementary takes on Shane Gillis and his latest "SNL" stuff. 1. Gillis has a history of being racist, xenophobic and misogynistic and his monologue was very misogynistic. He never should have hosted "SNL" in the first place or second place and he should never host "SNL" again. 1/2
