EPISODE 719: WHAT HAPPENS AT THE TONYS...

...Is Way Better Than What Happens at the Oscars Even Though It's Just as Long

Angel Luis Colón @GoshDarnMyLife

POP CULTURE SPIRIT WOW

I just finished watching the Tonys—which were great; the Oscars could learn so much—and I have to get up early to catch a train back into New York City from New Jersey, and I thought, hey, maybe it's time for another Ten Great Tweets and Images, followed by the things they make me think of.

Beanie, Baby

The MN Movie Man @Tribeca2022 ✨💥 @joemnmovieman

I tell ya, Jonathan Groff & Lea Michele are forever Broadway Royalty. If you saw them together onstage in #SpringAwakening you’ll know what I’m talking about. #TonyAwards2022

Lea Michele came out to sing a number with her Spring Awakenings castmates, and all I could think was, “How do you like me now, Funny Girl?”

In Re: Catholic Twitter

Rachelle Bogart @boggarting

Just feels fitting right now……

On Monday I made the mistake of interacting with someone who kept retweeting himself telling me that "the gays are coming for your children.” Yes, it was a bad choice on my part, which I realized after I was soon contending with a whole bunch of like minders debating whether Sodom and Gomorrah actually happened, when really all I should have done is posted this tweet.

A Bug's Life is a Monstrous Lie

cory (harvard graduate) @coolmathgame_

this is unbelievable

Around this time two years ago I got ants in my room. And it was often so bad that I went from having nightmares about Covid to having nightmares that my floor was covered in ants.

Ants are terrible, is what I'm saying.  (Click on the tweet for more confirmation of this fact.)

If you didn't catch the Oscars, you need to go back and find this moment. It was wonderful.

And speaking of great male friendships…

SPENCE, TODD @Todd_Spence

Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum are perfect

Life Is Sometimes the Worst

Elephant kills woman in India and returns to trample on her corpse at funeral after lifting her body from pyre as family performed last rites

dailymail.co.ukElephant kills woman then returns to trample on her corpseMaya Murmu was out drawing water when she was trampled to death on Thursday in Odisha state. Then later that evening it returned to trample her body (stock image)

At first, all I could think was, how did the elephant know where the funeral was?

But then I realized the elephant is reality, and it all made sense.

Just what Twitter needs.. 😊

You have to click on this to be able to see it. But you will not regret it.

Last Friday the website Outreach, which is an off shoot of America dedicated to LGBT Catholics, published an interview I did with Michael R. Jackson, the creator of the Broadway musical A Strange Loop, which won Best Musical and Best Book last night.

Our conversation is all about faith and forgiveness and sexuality, and I feel like he has a lot of wisdom to offer. I’d love it if you’d take a look and pass it on.

Have a great week!
