> Responding to calls for taking a break, Matt quoted Shakespeare’s Macbeth: “Life’s but a walking shadow, A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
This is a ridiculous way to address the community. There are at least five better Shakespeare quotes he could’ve gone with. From Hamlet alone:
- Though this be madness, yet there is method in ‘t.
- I perchance hereafter shall think meet / To put an antic disposition on
- I am but mad north-north-west. When the wind is / southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw.
- Doubt thou the stars are fire; / Doubt that the sun doth move; / Doubt truth to be a liar; / But never doubt I love.
- Madness in great ones must not unwatch’d go

- slowmovintarget 2y agoI choose to interpret that as Matt calling himself and idiot and saying we won't hear from him anymore because he's done strutting and fretting. But it's probably wishful thinking, I know.
