I think they thought they were doing a proper #dramatic performance, not #satire or #farce. It was in one of the tiniest theatres I've ever seen; there were only 3 rows of about 8 seats each. The front row was only a meter from the stage, just enough room for people to people to walk in.

The #stage was tiny, a meter deep with nothing but a curtain as their backdrop and just a couple of props, like the chair. The performers were at the edge of the stage, within arm's reach of the audience. We were in the first row, but thankfully we were at one end of the row, so there was about 3 meters between me and Lady MacBeth. I was barely able to contain my laughter; if I had been in the center, with Lady MacBeth looking directly into my eyes while MacBeth was engaging in his business and she was delivering her monologue, I never could have kept it together.

It was one of the strangest things I've ever seen. I suppose that's why it was part of a Fringe festival.

I don't remember the name of the company that performed it, or if they called their performance something other than #MacBeth. I don't remember what bits they cut and what they performed. But Lady MacBeth giving it her all, with her #rump raised to her husband and he keeping time with it, will remain burned in my #memory until the end of my days.

If anyone else out there saw this #performance, please speak up. Sometimes I wonder if it was all just a fever #dream.

3/3

Outside Landers, California, is a bizarre domelike structure called the Integratron. It was built between 1959 and 1978 by a former test pilot, engineer and UFO enthusiast, who claimed he received instructions from the planet Venus. The structure was built at a special location apparently influenced by alignments from the Great Pyramid and the nearby Native American sacred monument of Giant Rock. The builder of the Integratron claimed it was capable of time travel, defying gravity and rejuvenating human cells via electromagnetics. Following the creator's death, there were plans to turn the dome into a disco, but it was bought by two sisters who believed the 'acoustically perfect structure' could offer healing 'sound baths'. #folklore #weird #architecture #UFO #psychogeography #bizarre #California

A white dome - divided into segments, each with a rectangular window - in a desert-like landscape against a blue sky.

Just got home from a family Christmas party - They were playing "Red One" on the TV - I couldn't really follow what was going on - because everyone was just talking, and having fun. But from what I saw it just seemed like a really bizarre movie. The kids keep telling me it was actually pretty good - so is it worth watching?

The family are watching the exhibition figure skating which followed yesterday’s competition somewhere in France. The guy who came 4th yesterday has just performed dressed in a big king fu panda costume to Britney Spears Hit Me. Needless to say it was hilarious and proves that you can’t do a triple axel in a big fancy dress costume.

"Trump hides from the scrutiny of an electorate that would be repulsed by his message and by objective examination of his emotional and physical #health. Only within the cocoon of his faithful #MAGA supporters does his message attract rather than repel.

He lacks the mental capacity to defend #bizarre and destructive #policy notions... So #Trump retreats physically to #SafeSpaces without critics and abandons any pretense of persuasion and serious public policy."

Text from article: Unsurprisingly, as the prospect of losing looms larger and the potential for resuming his criminal trial increases, Trump hides from the scrutiny of an electorate that would be repulsed by his message and by objective examination of his emotional and physical health. Only within the cocoon of his faithful MAGA supporters does his message attract rather than repel. He lacks the mental capacity to defend bizarre and destructive policy notions; he cannot justify his damaging lies that endanger Americans (whether in North Carolina or Springfield, Ohio). So Trump retreats physically to safe spaces without critics and abandons any pretense of persuasion and serious public policy. As the Bulwark editor at large William Kristol put it, “In the closing weeks of this campaign, any mask of democratic normalcy and civic decency has been tossed aside.”

" #Trump, as even mainstream outlets acknowledge, is becoming angrier, more threatening, more explicit in his #authoritarian vision — and more incoherent. The uptick in unsteady, off-kilter performances has increased. On Monday, he seemed to prove #Harris point at a #bizarre town hall at which he cut off questions and swayed to the music for nearly 40 minutes"

#AndersonCooper left #speechless by this #bizarre #MelaniaTrump video. The video, released by #Melania to promote her memoir, due out next week, left Cooper stunned.

In the book, Melania defends the right to abortion — a stark contrast to her years of campaigning for Republicans who have actively sought to roll back abortion rights.

"That's the weirdest #promo I've ever seen... Wow."
