"Facts revenge themselves upon the man who denies their existence."

-- Leslie Stephen

You may be able to - or even, can - lie to people about what is objectively true. You can even convince people to repeat those lies by making it a moral virtue to do so.

But reality cannot be fooled. Not by threats of hellfire, not by emotional manipulation, not by wails of “bE kInD!!," not by language games, not by redefining words, not by crybullying, not by kafkatraps, not by various “-phobia” ad hominems, not by fallacies, not by academic jargon, not by religious apologetics.

Reality always collects its due. With interest.

Trains, family, books and vegan food! 🚂👪📚🥗

If you follow me anywhere on social media, you’ve probably picked up that I’ve been away on a quick jaunt to visit my Ageing Parent and the Offspring in the Midlands; this was something I did every summer leading up to the pandemic, and I re-introduced that last year. I still feel vaguely twitchy about travelling, as there are vulnerable family members, but the break is nice and it’s always…

OG Falsettos casts Revival Falsettos in an old playbill article.

Well, one of them guessed right. It probably helped that Michael did two previous shows with Christian, during which Christian fangirled about Falsettos and Marvin. It is really cute that he did think of him.

Leslie did attend opening night and I think this is the first time I’ve heard from Jonathan since the original closed. It’s cool that he came back for this.

Creepshow (1982) | dir. George A. Romero

[colorhollywood]

When I watched the Jeeves and Wooster series (1990–1993) with Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, I often thought back to the movie It's Love I'm After (1937) with Leslie Howard and Eric Blore, their coming together is pleasantly surprising.
