George in DC said: "Could you gift the article?"Usually if the address starts with wapo and not washingtonpost, it is a gift article. I think the Post wants your email address before you can read it, though.In case that doesn't work, here's the article via Webarchivehttps://archive.ph/Q7L2y

My screen also went to dark mode, which I hate. I'm on boring old Chrome, whatever the latest update is. Saying "no" to dark mode in settings doesn't work. Help.And, Happy Thanksgiving.

Some of this is hilarious and sarcastic. Overall, it's really depressing. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/us/politics/the-kennedy-center-crackup.html?unlocked_article_code=1.zU8.vB_v.gi8JT3I0ur2c&smid=url-share

The thumbs up button and the spoiler bars are still not working. I tried using the website on my phone and they're not working there either, so I don't think it's my computer or browser (latest Chrome version if it matters).

Thumbs up button still not working for me. Nor is the "open spoiler" button. I updated Chrome this morning to the latest version. Don't know what else to do.Thanks

1991 in Amsterdam, my brother and I saw Sweet Charity. I didn't know the show that well, but it didn't matter - it was still wonderful. We were wondering how Hey Big Spender would sound in Dutch. We needn't have wondered - it was the only line not translated. So if you're interested, it seems Hey Big Spender is the same in English and Dutch. ;-)

Maybe they'll hire Jeffrey Finn too."I'm sorry, but it's not about the National not "stepping up." They've booked more than double the amount of weeks next year already and the number of shows in the subscription plus shows that can be added to the sub hav...

First Broadway show - Chicago with Gwen and Chita. The next day I saw The Wiz and A Chorus Line.First live show (that I remember, anyway) was Snow White at Shady Grove Music Fair when it was still a tent, sometime in the mid-60s when I was in elementary school.

I thought it was a fantastic exhibit and I wish it was still going to be on view when I'm next in the city in November. One of the many fine exhibits there that made me join even though I don't live in NY. The Dining in Transit exhibit was also interesting and fun.

You can filter it for time period, but even if I choose All Time, it only goes back through this year. I just transferred most of my points to Amtrak (a partnership they discontinued last week - of course) because at least I'll be able to use them easily for someth...

Jordan Catalano said: "Will they replace the huge exhibit of President Kennedy’s legacy with different photos of Melania’s vagina, taken throughout her “modeling” career?"Or, they could replace the JFK bust in the Grand Foyer with the bust of... oh, never mind.

George in DC said: "I would love to see the tour, but as long as the rapist felon is head of Kennedy Center, I will not be a patron to them any longer"I had no intention of seeing this to begin with, but now I'm considering it. It's exactly the type of show he'd hate, and it will help support my family and friends who work there. And since it was booked before he crashed the joint... maybe.

sppunk said: "The pic quality and sound is a TON better on Max compared to CNN (at least watching on YTTV … and I have a fiber network)."I had the opposite happen - we were watching Max (since I was worried that events may cause CNN to interrupt the broadcast) and Max was glitching a lot. So we just went to CNN and it was so much better.

Huss417 said: "My only take away from this thread is does anyone else think all the one thumb ups on Seb28's posts is Seb28 liking them himself?"Yes! I've been trying to figure out how to ask this without being "mean". Thanks!!

This is about understanding that you cannot refuse work you were hired to do on certain days of choice just because you can't stand a certain client's trait or political view.So it turns out that you are showing who you really are."The production gave anyone who felt they couldn't perform that night permission to not perform. So no one is calling out on a whim.As for that video, why don't you tell us which part pertains to this situation so we don...

On NPR earlier this week, a story about the 100th anniversary of the incident. I can't believe they didn't mention the show was happening!https://www.npr.org/2025/02/17/nx-s1-5293207/a-cave-explorers-tragic-death-100-years-ago-led-to-the-creation-of-a-national-park
