Isn't there a tree in Australia where the sap is a neurotoxin and the bark causes rashes and the leaves are a third kind of poisonous?

That's the Manchineel tree and it's from Florida. bugs_bunny_saw.gif

There's another show playing at Lincoln Center called Pipeline that functions as an implicit critique of Bad Dem education policy so I'm not shocked they chose to see Oslo instead.

(Go see Pipeline if you're in New York, Karen Pittman is incredible in it.)

True as gently caress. This is also why it was so distasteful and revealing when centrist political pundits were treating Hamilton like the biggest cultural phenomenon last year.

Kings George I and II of England could barely speak intelligible English and spent more time dealing with their own failed sons than ruling the Empire —but they gave patronage to Handel

Ludwig II of Bavaria was believed to be insane and went into debt compulsively building castles — but he gave patronage to Wagner. Barack Obama deported more immigrants than any other president and expanded the drone program in order to kill almost 3,500 people — but he gave patronage to a neoliberal nerdcore musical. God bless this great land.

It's not a comedy like The Room isn't a comedy. At least Tommy Wiseau was hip enough to roll with it.
