In the UK we had a much loved comedy duo ‘The Two Ronnies’ (Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker.) They often wrote their own material but would look at submissions from other writers. After a time Ronnie Barker (on the left) started submitting sketches written under an alias without telling his partner. One day Ronnie Barker saw Ronnie Corbett discussing a large invoice he’d submitted under his alias. As he passed Barker leaned in, looked at the total at the bottom of the invoice and said, “That’s too much. Don’t pay it.”
Oh weird, for a second there I thought it was an ad for Only Murders in the Building, featuring the Two Martins.
Right, a billhook is a tool used to trim trees, shrubs or underbrush, or (mounted on a long, heavy shaft) hack knights out of saddles, depending on your immediate situation at the time. 
I’ve been hacking knights out of saddles wrong this whole time.

The horses do seem weirdly resistant to all my viruses and black ice. Maybe I need to try a DDoS attack?

Rein it in guys, and please stick to the mane topic.
All of you go to hell.
Neigh.
My voice is a little horse. Butt I was going to trot out some explaneightions.
Looks like my chance has been put out to pasture 
As their bond intensifies, Arthur and Lee break into songs like “Get Happy,” “For Once in My Life” and “That’s Life” that convey their shifting emotions: He’s drawn to romantic ballads; she prefers music about power. Clearly, they want different things out of a relationship. Despite all the singing and dancing, Phillips struggles with the idea of labeling “Joker: Folie à Deux” a musical.
“Most of the music in the movie is really just dialogue,” Phillips says. “It’s just Arthur not having the words to say what he wants to say, so he sings them instead.”
That is almost definitionally a musical, Todd. Like, I get it, you don't want to call it a "musical" because then the expectations for the film change, but you made a musical. That is a description of a musical.
These people are legitimately trying to drive me insane.
Lady Gaga "wouldn't necessarily say" that #Joker2 is a musical.
"It’s very different. The way that music is used is to really give the characters a way to express what they needed to say because saying it is not enough.”
Once again, that is one of the literal definitions of a musical! Why are you all so scared of saying you made a musical?

Cause the people that idolized Joker from the first one are the type of people who wouldn't willingly pay to see a musical.
........actually that totally tracks.
Does anyone here speak/read Korean? This came into my feed a few days ago, and I am wholly unsure of who's playing here.
Like, is this a Rock n' Jock situation, with celebrities playing? Or is it all professionals? What's happening here?
Either way, this is ENTHRALLING.
Try Paleocon.

Google translate seems to indicate this is a show called Kick a Goal, or Shooting Stars, or Goal Scoring Girls (depending on translation). This is a match between FC Actionista (actresses) in Orange and FC Top Girl (singers/idols) in Yellow/Green.
I'll have to watch it later to see what the fuss is about.

It’s not just this movie. I remember watching/reading something with a bunch of other examples of recentish musicals that did everything they could to downplay/hide in marketing that it was a musical.
Based on verbal description, a Unicorn is far, far more plausible than a giraffe.
My sea-monkeys hatched. Well at least one did. Hope for more to follow.
ONE SEA MONKEY TO RULE THEM ALL!
Zelda was played by a man.. huh... I honestly did not know until a couple of weeks ago. And in the book she was a lot younger?

The behavior I have seen people treating the work fridge with in my life is some real "Oh, you people are uncivilized" stuff.

There’s someone here who keeps taking other people’s stuff out of the fridge and setting it on a nearby windowsill that gets direct sunlight, presumably to make room for their own stuff. I’ve been the victim of this twice. What type of person thinks that’s okay behavior?!
You could send an email to everyone on your floor asking them to watch for someone putting things on the windowsill. With everyone alert, it's less likely to happen.
Alternatively, spend a day popping into the break room whenever people are in it. Maybe explain to your boss first. The person who seems frustrated and keeps waiting for you to leave is probably your culprit. Or maybe they are a narcissist and will just do it in front of you. "Oh, wait, this is yours? Gee, I'm sorry, I'll move something else."
You get all kinds at work.

Well, this is really about him, his wife and his kids and even though the Foos are my favorite band, it's none of my business. But a useful reminder that no matter how much of a "good dude" your favorite celeb seems like they are, you don't know them (and they're still full of human foibles!).
That said, it is fairly chuckle-worthy that, after the death of James Earl Jones, I was reading about the plot of the play Fences, which involves a somewhat similar circumstance.
Thrilled by all the dubs for Shogun tonight. It genuinely was that good.
