Today in Labor History December 10, 1896: Alfred Jarry's play, Ubu Roi, premiered in Paris. At the end of the performance, a riot broke out. Many in the audience were confused and outraged by the obscenity and disrespect they felt in the performance. Others, like W. B. Yeats, thought it was revolutionary. Jarry’s work was a precursor to Dada, Surrealism and the Theatre of the Absurd. Ubu Roi is a parody of Shakespeare's Macbeth and parts of Hamlet and King Lear. However, having recently reread the play, I found an uncanny resemblance between Pere Ubu and Donald Trump.
Hard to believe, but Nose Ears comic no. 700 is now online! That's a big number for me. And a lot of comics. If you liked it so far, why not spread the word? But just to make sure this doesn't get overlooked: This isn't all my own work, as you can clearly see in the credits. I can't draw, but I can write (at least I believe so). 😛 But still, this is my canvas for my random and strange thoughts. 700 times now.
I have #CFS and #Bipolar which can make it hard to get out much so seeing so much of the world, so seeing all the wonderful posts here has been an absolute joy.
I'm a #polyglot who will support all your language learning endeavours. I’m also happy to discuss anything language-based and will occasionally put out very unscientific polls on language use.
I'm also one of them there homosexualites, married to and exploring LGBT+ shenanigans with an irreplaceable Spaniard :blobfoxheartcute:
Expect a healthy mix of sincerity and shitposting, a good amount of goof, and (if you couldn’t tell already) a pathological use of the Blobfox emojis :blobfoxmeltmlem:
I just recently discovered Savatore Ganacci’s short videos, and I love them. If you’re into Absurdist cinema and like Tim & Eric or Monty Python, you might like them.
