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.

The picture was mixed overseas. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell 1.6%, under pressure from U.S. regulatory scrutiny on New York-listed Chinese companies. Stocks were more buoyant in Europe, where Frankfurt’s DAX surged 1.4%. "And that set off kind of a battle royale for control of the platform that Durov eventually lost," said Nathalie Maréchal of the Washington advocacy group Ranking Digital Rights. Telegram was founded in 2013 by two Russian brothers, Nikolai and Pavel Durov. In this regard, Sebi collaborated with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to reduce the vulnerability of the securities market to manipulation through misuse of mass communication medium like bulk SMS. If you initiate a Secret Chat, however, then these communications are end-to-end encrypted and are tied to the device you are using. That means it’s less convenient to access them across multiple platforms, but you are at far less risk of snooping. Back in the day, Secret Chats received some praise from the EFF, but the fact that its standard system isn’t as secure earned it some criticism. If you’re looking for something that is considered more reliable by privacy advocates, then Signal is the EFF’s preferred platform, although that too is not without some caveats.
