I was in Jenin and I cannot explain how ruthless the Israeli military is being. The city is like a ghost town and the refugee camp is a collective torture chamber. Israeli practices in Jenin include: Mass arrests including minors, Blowing up homes of civilians Denying entry of food, water, medics The children that managed to escape are traumatized, they’re nothing but tears and shock. Everyone is unable to fully recognize this unprecedented violence and at such an intensity. Jenin is another Gaza in terms of violence being inflicted.

Thinking about how it would be reported if the ex-president of a non-Western country was ruled immune from prosecution by a panel of judges he himself appointed

I can’t believe the Supreme Court just ruled that the president can sleep outdoors in a public space.

This is one of the great things about Party of One—we’ve also been thinking similar things over at @DNDramaNerds
Party of One is not a show about acting, it is a show about conversation. And that is a very subtle distinction, but I'm realizing a very differentiating and empowering one to understand, that really helps me to understand what makes the show WORK and how to help it GROW.

Actual Play is not necessarily an actor’s medium. It *can* be but too often recently I’ve seen the form limiting itself and shows like Party of One really do wonders for reminding me how wide the artform is and can be.
