The Quiet Game of Office Politics

In every workplace, beyond tasks, deadlines, and job descriptions, there’s something quieter but just as powerful shaping daily life: office politics. Whether subtle or overt, internal politics influence how people behave, who advances, and who feels stuck. It can be hard to spot at first, but its effects are lasting. What Is Office Politics? Office politics refers to the informal,…

My conspiracy theory is that one of the reasons they fired Stephanie J. Block for the role of Elphaba in 2000 and replaced her with Idina Menzel at the end of the OBC workshops is because SJB played the role SO gay that it was quickly crossing the line of plausible deniability. Like she doesn't seem to be able to help herself.

And thank god she eventually got to play the role on Broadway (arguably one of the best - if not THE best - actresses who ever did), because we finally got to see her get super fucking handsy and stare lovingly into Glinda's eyes inches away from her face for three hours:

Like holy shit why do you keep looking at Annaleigh Ashford like you want to eat her alive??

Plus I cannot emphasize enough just how effective and moving this particular version of For Good is. Straight up feels like wedding vows.

(Ironically, she also has the best chemistry with Fiyero's character, and arguably the very sweetest performance of As Long As You're Mine in the entire slime tutorial universe.* So I'm just reading this as a Thropple Truther performance.)

*But that's just because she was (and still is) literally married to him. So they get uh. A little carried away in their performance. *cut to Sebastian Arcelus holding lantern up, his face covered in green makeup from aggressively making out with his wife on stage for several minutes* Apparently the makeup team HATED that song for them.

I'm only just now looking at Batman and Robin: Year One, and right off the bat, I noticed Waid has already made a connection to his writing from Batman vs. Robin #3.

In Batman vs. Robin, Dick, while under a possession that made him air his deepest grievances, berated Bruce for taking him away from the joy and recognition he got as a performer in the circus, and instead of getting to continue that experience, Dick Grayson was hidden behind a mask.

Batman vs. Robin #3

In Batman and Robin: Year One, Bruce brings up the fact that only a few weeks ago, Dick had an adoring crowd chanting his name. Now, in the present, Dick is masked and anonymous.

can we please take one moment to appreciate hoshi in maestro's choreography. him in the opening. ohmygod. him tapping the baton on his back. him handling it throughout the majority of the choreo but only ever properly using it during his parts. him using it like a pro during his parts. him handing it to minghao and receiving it back. him not breaking the damn baton during the dance break. him handing it to wonwoo for the ending. maestro hoshi you're so cool. also his snatched waist.

I just want to praise John Eric Bentley for delivering an absolute incredible performance in Rebirth. His fight with Dyne made me sob uncontrollably at 3 am. It was amazing. Thank you for being an outstanding VA.

Me: trying to sleep.

My brain: do you remember the memorial to the child paragon in Caridin's Cross?

Child Paragon – the deeds and name are unknown, the memorial in Caridin's Cross has been worn away by time or vandalized by darkspawn

Why isn't there more people talking about Sweetpea? The show is pretty entertaining, Ella did such an fantastic job with Rhiannon, she's really an amazing actress with many talents for different types of characters, she got to show a very different side with this one and I really believe she nailed it

Usually I get a little frustrated when kpop fans attach like, one single trait/joke/theme to an idol because theyve mentioned it a few times... like "oh shes said she likes M&Ms once so pets bring it up at every possible occassion for the next decade."

And I kinda thought that's what people were doing with Hoshi, like okay I get it hes mentioned he likes tigers a few times guys im sure he has other characteristics though... but then.... I watched a lot of svt content and..... this man really is obsessed and has been forever like its valid for fans to make it his whole personality bc hes done that himself already 😭

Daniel Craig coming in at number 1 of the most anticipated performances of 2024 from Variety - out of 51, knocking off some serious competition

I’m glad that I have basic-ass taste in music (Rachmaninoff piano concerto 3 is my favorite piece) because then I actually have opportunities to hear it performed live

If I were into another composer or piece (let’s just throw out Bortkiewicz for absolutely no reason) then I don’t think I’d be as lucky

Thinking once again about the very weird emotional reaction I had (am still having) re: Timothee Chalamet's performance in Dune Part 2. Because I came out of that theatre legit a little scared of that guy, which is not something I ever thought I'd be able to say -- he's very much not an intimidating person in most people's minds and if you'd told me what Part 2 was like before I knew anything about Dune I wouldn't have been able to believe it. But he's so good, and I think part of the reason he works so well in this new phase of Paul's character especially is because of that audience perception of him as an actor, because you go into it thinking "this shouldn't work" and then it does work, and that weird dissonance makes it work even more in a meta way. Paul as a character also isn't supposed to seem like he could be this crazy warrior cult leader, and then he is and people within the narrative believe it and it feels within the narrative like it isn't supposed to work, yet somehow does. The fact that it Feels Wrong is perfect because it's supposed to.

a performance in euskera / basque in one of the main late night shows in the country on national public television let's fucking gooo !!!!

also if you like this style, i highly recommend both izaro and baiuca. izaro is literally my favourite basque singer, all her discography is incredible, literally no notes. and baiuca is an electro-folk producer / dj ?. i think they're galician because most of their stuff is with galician artists, but as you can see her they aren't limited to that. in fact, they have an ep with alba reche that is incredible, i listen to it pretty regularly.
