Today's news and jokes

What's funny about the latest Pete Hegseth chat scandal is that the timeline makes it extremely clear who provided the New York Times with this information. They're not even trying to hide it.

Like just to be 100% clear, according to the New York Times, the close associates Hegseth fired last week were also members of this second Signal group.

("More than a month after announcing an indefinite bombing campaign against Houthi rebels in Yemen, the Defense Department has offered little information and the command overseeing the campaign is refusing to answer even basic questions on what U.S. forces have accomplished in the area or whether troops have been under fire or injured")







We're going from "foreign tourists afraid to visit the US" to "US citizens afraid to go abroad because of what could happen when they return to their own country"

Life and Trust, a major immersive theatre show from the co-producers of Sleep No More, suddenly closed today. It’s too early to know why, but I found it literally exhausting and predictable. More importantly, the environment for “mask” shows has completely changed in the last decade.

And when young people are drinking less these days, that’s bad for business (supposedly this is partly why clubs in NY are closing). So the market is shifting toward smaller immersive experiences like escape rooms, or experiences directly tied to popular IP like Squid Game and Harry Potter.

(I guess it looks like it could be a competent Marvel movie, but I haven't seen anything indicating it looked like more than that--no intriguing story, or exciting new designs, or laugh out loud moments, or compelling action) (At the very least, the Superman campaign has Krypto and Guy Gardner, and that brief slo-mo of Superman and his hair saving the girl)
