The Truth is Uncomfortable said:
The play was interrupted several times by right-wing protesters, who accused the play of "violence against the right", and actors and members of theatres with Shakespeare in the name has been harassed and received death threats, including the wife of the play's director Oskar Eustis.[50][51][52][53] The protests were praised by American Family Association director Sandy Rios who compared the play with the execution of Christians by damnatio ad bestias.[54]

Oops!

I'm only familiar with the versions that portray Caesar as the dude with the toga but I heard some plays adopt the tradition to put in current leaders (aka Presidents) in the role of Julius.
 
I know it's a page late, but oh, whoops. He seriously thinks the guy who didn't even write his own book (I am not getting into the politics of the 45th president and flunkies thereof, but it's pretty common knowledge that the guy who ghostwrote The Art of the Deal bitterly regrets this) reads Kit Marlowe? The gay guy? I feel certain that if you prodded our Yam-in-Chief with the names "Christopher" or "Kit" Marlowe, he would assume they were somebody on his staff.

Yes. This is true. In 2012 there was a popular production thereof in which a tall black guy was cast as Caesar. Back in the 90's there were productions with a Bill-Clintonesque southern-accented Caesar.

He noticed me and posted screenshots. Apparently, everything was juuuuuuuuust fine until college.
At a minimum, you have a severe learning disability which is why you're so resistant to learning new things.

You know, I hadn't considered the fact that he might out-and-out have a learning disability, possibly because he has at least some grasp of grammar and usage. But this makes a lot of sense. Someone who had tried, and failed, throughout his life to learn things on his own would naturally end up in the sort of state where something as simple as Dropbox was a tantrum-inducing roadblock to his dreams of acclaim and glory. Well-spotted, DrJonesHat.

He's not a terrible writer oddly enough as his grammar, diction, and vocabulary are leagues above most other cows. The main problem is that no mainstream site would accept him as a freelancer because of the frequent racism and homophobia in his writings.

Sweets is an underrated lolcow. He's more insane than probably 75% of the cows we cover.

He was a unique lolcow for me to discover and learn about, in that with a cursory glance at his posts he seemed like a bit of a political sperg but of well above-average intelligence, sanity and articulateness for a lolcow, at least...then when actually taking the time to properly parse through what he had written, it became evident that he is batshit insane and extremely autistic and unable to comprehend other people or situations he finds himself in. This is in contrast with most cows where one can tell they are a few cans short of a six pack within seconds of uncritically looking at what they've posted.

His ability to communicate and compose sentences as if he were a normal, rational person is actually hilariously in contrast with the situations he describes sometimes. It just makes it funnier than when other lolcows write about similar things but it's clear that they're not all there, because he is almost (but not quite) able to rationalize and explain extremely dumb or insane things that he's done.

And here I thought Sweet had gone inactive and resigned himself to a life of taco salad and My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic.

I find it hilarious that he thinks we're progressive when a large chunk of us are right-wing. Most of whom actually follow conservative ideals of self-sufficiency and perseverance.

Seems Sweet has a very black and white us-vs-them mentality. In Sweetopia, you're either a brilliant conservative who thinks like Sweet does, or a dimwitted progressive that likes stuff like Toyota Prius.
 
Every single one of Sweet's schemes has relied on everybody else doing the heavy lifting for him, while he sits there and gets asspatted. Him trying to get back into ASU. Him trying to "remove" the Kiwis from the AJM forum. Etc.

Very ironic he would mock progressive liberals since that's the camp where people cheer for hand-outs for everyone. Sweet is literally all about getting "goodies" without doing any actual work.

It astonishes me that a middle-aged man whose entire life (including the unreadable comic he's poured decades into) is an unmitigated series of failures could earnestly and unselfconsciously post this.

Not gonna lie, sometimes I wonder if he's trolling us when he breaks out nonsense like this. It's so goddamn oblivious it's hard to believe it's being said earnestly.
 
What will happen when SweetMom dies? Is there any way that Jon can avoid homelessness without resorting to getting a job?

There do seem to be a lot of entry-level job vacancies in and around Blytheville, so if Jon knows what's good for him he might want to get off his arse now and start supporting himself before he ends up dying of pneumonia under a bridge somewhere.
 
Yeah, the progressive liberal nabobs want us to say "holiday issue" to be all inclusive and p.c.,

Hey, Thumbskull, you see what I just did up there? I quoted you. I took something that you said, copied it, and placed it here. Anybody who wants to read what you wrote can go and find it now, since that whole post has been archived. You said it, I quoted it.

So, when you say "the progressive liberal nabobs want us to ----" etc., can we suppose that you have quotes proving that? That there were actually liberals who said you should be more PC? See, that would imply that people think your art is somehow significant. It isn't. No one reads it. Put up or shut up.

With any luck, no. Dying of pneumonia under a bridge is a tragedy, unless it happens to Jon. Then it's a freekin' screwball comedy.

He's a bigoted, transphobic racist cishet fucking WHITE MALE! It's too bad Adolf Drumpfler stole the election because otherwise Hillary would have had him thrown in castration prison and taken away his light bulbs!

Sweetums is unemployable, even for unskilled entry-level drudge work. His crippling USI makes him believe that he's too smart and too important to take orders from other people, and whatever learning disability he has prevents him from actually learning anything. No employer would want to waste their time trying to wrangle a prematurely-aging, ill-tempered headcase that can't comprehend how to operate a cash register or take a fast-food order.

I don't know if Mama Sweet owns their current home, but in a best-case scenario she would pass on ownership to Jon when she dies. The house would quickly become entirely consumed by filth and decay as Sweetbread neglects it, but at least he would have someplace to sleep, and his "meager government stipend" might be enough to pay utilities and buy enough ramen and Hot Pockets to keep him fed.
