Showalter Done Managing Mets After This Season

Manager Buck Showalter has informed reporters that he will not be returning as the team’s manager in 2024. Mike Puma’s tweet, however, might shed a bit more light on what would’ve happened if he’d not have done so. While Showalter managed to become a fan favorite, not only standing up for his players against other teams after being drilled continuously, but also against the MLB when it seemed…

Just rewatched the Netflix Wet Hot American Summer shows and they're still absolutely insane (and First Day of Camp is perfect). The amount of talent packed into this cast ...

And the soundtrack still slaps.

In June 2017, Lorde’s second and greatest work to date was released. Following the success of her massive 2013 single “Royals”  that she made when she was just 17, the bar was high for the sophomore album. It is pop, art rock and electronic all rolled into one, but it’s really her voice that makes this album. I included this album on my Best Albums of the 2010s list. Happy 5 Melodrama!

June 17, 1987: Pleased to Meet Me released

This album is more than just an album you listen to, it is something you experience. I named this my #8 Album of the 2010s. Happy 10 The Idler Wheel...!

June 19, 1992: Batman Returns opens

In June 1992, Tim Burton’s second Batman movie was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2017. Happy 30th BR!

In June 2017, one of the smartest comedies about relationships in a long time was released. Co-writer / star Kumail Nanjiani, director Michael Showalter and producer Judd Apatow were a meeting of the cinematic minds in this story of an interracial relationship that gets complicated when his grad student girlfriend goes into a coma. This was laugh-out-loud funny one minute / verge of tears the next, but with a real heart to it. I named it my #1 Movie of 2017. Happy 5 TBS!

June 25, 1982: Blade Runner opens

In June 1982, another classic Philip K. Dick adaptation was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2017. Happy 40th BR!

i’m always hesitant to be like “ophelia is JUST a facet of hamlet and the feminine” because ophelia is fascinating and shouldn’t be reduced to that much (and this essay proceeds to get into that). but. due to my condition (not caring about cis people disorder) i am thinking... about transgender hamlet again. obviously hamlet’s words are misogynistic regardless of what gender hamlet is, but something something ophelia as reflecting hamlet’s self-loathing by being The Feminine Part Hamlet Wants To Destroy--in the case of transmasc hamlet, because she’s who he used to be, a walking deadname, and in the case of transfemme hamlet, because she represents a sort of womanhood/femininity she’s not entitled to at all. what does ophelia reflect back at hamlet that he can’t stand? and what might she know about him because of it?

[image description: a screenshot of the following paragraph from Elaine Showalter’s “Representing Ophelia”:

A third approach would be to read Ophelia’s story as the female subtext of the tragedy, the repressed story of Hamlet. In this reading, Ophelia represents the strong emotions that the Elizabethans as well as the Freudians thought womanish and unmanly. When Laertes weeps for his dead sister he says of his tears that “When these are gone,/The woman will be out”—that is to say, that the feminine and shameful part of his nature will be purged. According to David Leverenz, in an important essay called “The Woman in Hamlet” Hamlet’s disgust at the feminine passivity in himself is translated into violent revulsion against women, and into his brutal behavior towards Ophelia. Ophelia’s suicide, Leverenz argues, then becomes “a microcosm of the male world’s banishment of the female, because ‘woman’ represents everything denied by reasonable men.”
