- Reposted by Angry AlgonquinContext: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.
- Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

- #Shakespeare, still wholly and astoundingly relevant Ian McKellan, with a speech that resonates 400 years later, only too appropriate for our time. Listen, weep, and then channel your fury.

- #Atlanta @ajc.com digital only, more layoffs coming, in a state where coverage of the 2026 mid-terms is going to be CRITICAL in November. Cool cool totally cool.
- BREAKING: @ajc.com on Tuesday evening said it will lay off approximately 50 staffers, about 15% of its headcount, as it seeks to cut costs and marshal resources to invest in its growth. The AJC published its last print edition on 12/31. About half of those laid off will come from the newsroom.

- The hometown newspaper that I read as a teenager through Watergate and Vietnam and made me crave the life of a reporter is now being butchered by a billionaire who had $75 million to bribe and flatter a president and his wife but nothing to save journalism, an bulwark of the republic itself. Got it.

Each of Q’s runs were just over 4 hours. Team had a great race! More photos coming later. #uglydogs
