Just so you guys have some context about why Kai and I are losing our absolute marbles. The Tempest is a classic Shakespearean play. Loosely, a sorcerer named Prospero (guy), a duke of Naples, is betrayed by his brother, escapes death with his daughter and crashes on and takes ownership of a magical island and basically enslaves a spirit, Ariel, to do his bidding (Ariel is male. Yes, it's a male name. This was before Disney's Ariel). Twelve years later he uses Ariel to crash his enemies, including his brother, onto the island and take revenge. Shindigs ensue, his daughter ends up marrying the prince (don't ask), all is forgiven, Ariel is freed.
This is a heartbreaking play about power, and the most tragic character in it is Ariel who is the actual doer of magic and just wants to be free.
That said. In the production we saw today, Prospero is a woman and is played by, you've already heard it, Sigourney Weaver (of "Alien"). And Ariel. Is. Non-binary. And played by THIS PERSON.

Lastly, the web previews of t.me links have been given a new look, adding chat backgrounds and design elements from the fully-features Telegram Web client. In February 2014, the Ukrainian people ousted pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych, prompting Russia to invade and annex the Crimean peninsula. By the start of April, Pavel Durov had given his notice, with TechCrunch saying at the time that the CEO had resisted pressure to suppress pages criticizing the Russian government. After fleeing Russia, the brothers founded Telegram as a way to communicate outside the Kremlin's orbit. They now run it from Dubai, and Pavel Durov says it has more than 500 million monthly active users. "We as Ukrainians believe that the truth is on our side, whether it's truth that you're proclaiming about the war and everything else, why would you want to hide it?," he said. The S&P 500 fell 1.3% to 4,204.36, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.7% to 32,943.33. The Dow posted a fifth straight weekly loss — its longest losing streak since 2019. The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 2.2% to 12,843.81. Though all three indexes opened in the green, stocks took a turn after a new report showed U.S. consumer sentiment deteriorated more than expected in early March as consumers' inflation expectations soared to the highest since 1981.
