Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival announced today that they are suspending their affiliation with the Kennedy Center. The national KCACTF page says “Trump Kennedy Center.” I got an email from the Region VI chairs. Region IV posted this today. www.kcactf4.org/news/12021/a...

“SpongeBob Big Guy Pants Okay” clears “For Sale, Baby Shoes: Never Worn.”

Happy Yule ✨

Does anyone wanna see a really good Getty image of Rita Moreno and Sam The Eagle having dinner in 1979?

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

This may be my favorite version of The Nutcracker I've watched. Really refreshing choices while still being recognizable as The Nutcracker. Fantastic costumes. Highly recommend! www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/t...

blessings on these two young men, so drunk and so clear at the same time

Very romantic.

Is the MTA making merch with the F M Swap icon cause they should be

There are two types of people during the holidays

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.

I also feel like his body of work really disproves the persistent claim that joyful, hopeful, funny, romantic or lighthearted stories are inherently intellectually lesser and can't be Real Art

I'm not going to repost that... Thoughtful message about Rob Reiner from a certain someone. Instead I'm going to encourage you to find some time this season to curl up in a blanket and (re)watch a few of his masterpieces. Encourage friends and family to do the same. Celebrate what he gave to us.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

Frog and Toad went for a walk. Toad tripped over a rock. He bumped into a tree. He fell in a hole.

the Bangles cover of Hazy Shade of Winter is a Christmas song

The first line of my toddler’s favorite book about Hanukkah is “Hanukkah is smelling cookies baking in the oven” and NO IT IS NOT

Central Park's Belvedere Castle with today's snow. ❄️

If you look out your window and see snow, it means you are pure of heart. Only the gentle and kind can see it.

insanely good thing to say when you enter a room

A Pulitzer for whoever chose the photo on this one

Sad day for those who grew up on a particular era of Nickelodeon. First Sheen, now Doug Dimmadome?! 😭

Robert Icke's Oedipus with Mark Strong and Lesley Manville is the first time I've connected with the play and I can't stop thinking about it and I need to talk about it

Tubi is such a crazy streaming service. It’s like if the Criterion Closet was in a gas station

You will be visited by three spirits

Jonathan Groff plays Frank as a man raised in Lancaster, PA and I can't fully explain what mannerisms he uses but his upbringing comes through very strongly in the Merrily We Roll Along proshot.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

It's the holiday season and nobody can stop me from making cafe au eggnog every morning

#PudgyHorse Lascaux Tribute 2. A companion piece to the first, following one of the other cave horses with a darker colour morph. Again, painted with pigments made by Mary Sanche from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020. #ArtAdventCalendar

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen

“do you want anything from McDonald’s” me: round egg please

Just watched a child eat a goldfish cracker off of the floor in the Times Square subway station #christmasinnyc

This PEANUTS comic strip was published #OTD on December 5, 1968.

Throw one of these in without warning for the next Brooklyn show asking for a friend

Saw Little Shop of Horrors Off-Broadway last night (Andrew Durand's casting convinced me) and had one of the best audience experiences I've had in a long time. Clear directions before the house opened about phone usage, a small and friendly stagedoor, and a fun show onstage! 10/10, would go again.

A singer-songwriter friend would like people to know that while boycotting Spotify is great, it was also 16% of their income that is now cratering. So if you're cancelling Spotify, please pair that with buying music, merch, or live tickets directly from your favorite artists

A famous guy I was a fan of sent an email during the pandemic just being like "hey I like your show, great job" and it meant a ton to me. So ever since I've tried to reach out whenever I really like something and just tell the people who made it "I really like this, thanks for making it!"

"I’m affirming and saying to all of you that I am transgender, and so the best way to put this is that I’m not becoming a woman, I’m giving up pretending to be a man," Rev. Dr. Phillippa Phaneuf told her congregation in a powerful speech.

Robbie Williams and David Yazbek being the top two artists on my Spotify Wrapped for the year really sums it up

this is my zootopia

My partner and I, admittedly not Shakespeare purists in the slightest, watched Shakespeare in the Park's production of Twelfth Night on PBS and had a blast. Great cast, silly moments, absolutely worth your time. Thank you PBS for making it accessible to a wider audience! www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/t...

this is incredible. with alt text.
