Went to see Macbeth at the Harold Pinter theatre with my son tonight - he's doing it for GCSE. It is the David Tennant production although he wasn't in it tonight- they seem to have been hit by a wave of illness and injuries and extraordinarily the show went ahead with five understudies in principal roles, including Macbeth and Lady Mabeth. It was still an excellent production with incredible use of sound and the audience gave a standing ovation to the stand-ins. Whatever happens to the world we'll always have Shakespeare.
How much were tickets. I went to see Can't Wait to Leave at the Jack Studio Theatre, Brockley for a fiver. Was excellent, if not yet on the GCSE syllabus. It is a monologue with Zach Hawkins and well worth the trip out South East.
HOLD ON. i just found out there is a *separate* guy named jon favreau who is the pod save america guy. this whole time i thought jon favreau the filmmaker was just really involved in pod save america but being lowkey about it.. https://x.com/oliviastowell/status/1853621476055802245
Apparently there are two Steve McQueen Hollywood legends.
Is the second one in addition to or including the British director?

Macbeth had no time for exit polls.
He didn't need them - he had some surprisingly good pollsters who told him the result well ahead of time.
Well, I'm off to bed, safe in the knowledge that I haven't got a clue who's going to win. No doubt I'll dream of a Harris victory and have nightmares of a Trump win, only to wake at 7am and find it's still in the balance.
He’s not got any inside info, he’s just predicting that it will be wrong! He is also predicting that the election won’t be settled tonight: saying it will take days!
Interesting that @Andy_JS@londonpubman snd the Focaldata MRP are all forecasting the same result: Harris 276.
Really that's the most worrying scenario as it could all come down to one very close state (probably Pennsylvania) and drag on for a long time. There's also the possibility of people doing stupid things e.g. faithless electors

If its that close then we'll have multiple slates of electors in all the GOP states where women voters betrayed their husbands and didn't vote to chain themselves to the bed / kitchen.

No chance of faithless electors deciding the election IMO. @HYUFD explains why not very well.

The most powerful play I've ever seen was a minimalist production of Macbeth by a tiny touring company. All the women wore long grey skirts & grey tops, all the men wore grey tracksuit bottoms & grey tops. They had a big badge to show who was king. The scenery was just boxes - grey cubes.
That really allowed the words, the play itself, to speak for itself. So powerful you wouldn't believe. Utterly amazing.
C4 have Stormy Daniels sat next to Boris Johnson He's claiming he doesn't know the details of the Trump / Daniels case. He's said "if you read about it in my book unleashed" at least evry every minute... Must be selling like hotcakes

I am sure Boris was paid a load of money to appears on GB News.....he seems to appear on every other news channel but GB News....
Boris book has sold 65k copies last time I looked.

I still remember - after almost 25 years - a production of "Travels With My Aunt" that I saw in the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow. Basically no 'set' at all. Just three actors intertwining, lighting shifts, and (as I remember) some crepe paper leaves falling through green light.
Hey, viewcode, don't worry! Me and my squad of ultimate Kamala fans will protect you! Check it out! Independently targeting particle beam phalanx. WVAP! Fry half a Congressional district with this puppy. We got tactical smart missiles, phased plasma pulse rifles, RPGs, we got sonic electronic ball breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks, leaflets with dodgy bar charts...

A bold move, utterly reliant on brilliant performances alone to carry it. Sounds like it paid off.

I saw Ian McKellen do it thirty odd years ago with everyone dressed as WWI generals in great coats etc.
If the votes counted so far are all by one method (early) or from a certain part of the county comparing to the full result of 2020 could still be biased. You need to be waiting until counties get to 90%+
It occurs to me that this is the 6th American presidential election pb.com has done, having been formed, IIRC, to have somewhere to discuss the 2004 election. Congrats again to OGH and team.
While there's nothing much happening, flashback to November 2004:

One of those is likely to be wildly wrong.

Trump leads by 44 percentage points.

Please do not make jokes like that.

Indiana four counties have reported numbers:
In 2020, they were Trump +40, +49, +54, +50.
Which means currently a very small swing to Harris.
Surely it would be a crime, a steal, a betrayal of democracy to count any more votes in any state?
STOP THE STEAL
You can drill down to county results

But I'm not. Dunno why, as I have decent stakes on.
Wells was previously Trump +56
Knox Trump +47
So Trump is currently running 3-4 points behind where he was in Indiana across the board.
Laurel: Trump 81 vs 83 last time
Kenton : Trump 58.7 vs 58.5 last time
Harris is definitely outperforming Trump in rural Indiana
Not forgotten it even after all this time.
These are not good numbers for Trump at all.
Could be the Pence effect, of course.
Abi!)
Favourable opinion:
Harris 46
Trump 42
Both 2
Neither 8
Who is too extreme?
Harris 36
Trump 47
Both 8
Neither 5
But Trump's been show for what he really is. Couldn't beat Biden, I do not think he will be beating Harris either.
Truly one of the greater collective acts of self important prickery. Still hilariously bad.

NB the betting for 2008, recorded on 3 November. Hilary Clinton favourite at 6-1, Rudy Giuliani 2nd at 7-1.
Oooops.
Trump is currently behind in every county
Is that it?
