I trust people with ugly laughs more than those with pretty titters: it just feels more genuine.

I recently ran across a baby Emeril on one of Julia Child’s later shows, and he’s lovely: earnest, in love with his food, so excited to share it. I’ve been to his signature restaurant in New Orleans (once, a long time ago on business) and it was great food and some of the most amazing service I’ve had, which is more…

I know for a fact that at least one person told Bobby he’s a massive asshole, but apparently he hasn’t taken that on board.

I liked early seasons of Good Eats, but between IC:A and Cutthroat Kitchen, he really turned me off him. He comes off as a genuine jerk.

Also: “Sammies.” Fuck that shit.

Commander Shepard dances better.

Eh, he’s apparently not great off camera either, but at least he’s doing some legitimately good charity work.

A former colleague had a few run-ins with him, and yeah, apparently he’s a garden variety asshole. Plus, the one time I’ve eaten at one of his restaurants (it was a business dinner), it was nothing special.

Because he may have been relying on the direction his irises were pointing to convey stuff.

I mean, if you don’t think of them as proper tacos, and as some other category of food, I can see it (particularly an hour or so after an edible).

A Domino’s thin crust with their garlic parm sauce, spinach, mushrooms, and bacon (if you’re feeling particularly indulgent) is legit good.

I have watched a Masshole get iced coffee from Dunkins in the middle of a literal blizzard, and as much as I love coffee, ice cream is more delicious, so I’d go with no.

So much perfect casting here.

All we can see of her outfit is that she’s wearing a black leather jacket, which fit right in with goth aesthetics, or did when I was coming up in the late 80's/early 90's.

My main hope is that this means there’s a chance they’ll re-release a box set of the original anime’s soundtrack. I’m still bitter about the time I had to pass on a chance to buy it for like $100, but I was a broke college kid at the time.

Yeah, I hope they really are doing new stories slotted within the anime’s continuity. The purists will never be happy, but there are just things you can do in animation that you can’t in live action.

Catholic horror is very much my thing, and I’ll probably give this a shot the next time I cycle over to Netflix, but I find it hard to finish Flannagan’s stuff. Like, in the moment, I enjoy it, but I rarely want to jump to the next episode right away, and neither is it something I want to start off a TV watching…

Yeah, I’m curious about this as well. So many of Shakespeare’s plays are too long for modern audiences to perform as-is (for some version of “as-is” as I don’t know offhand how many folio versions of Macbeth there are), so directors’ decisions about what to keep and what to cut affect the script. And then add in the…

Today was the first time I’d heard about this, so I had fun binging his past vids this morning. Such joy and fun and helping other people in the process. We need more folks doing stuff like this.

People are acting like the vaccines are some magic bullet, but they’re not and it’s driving me nuts because this shit is what’s going to extend the pandemic. You can still get it and spread it. You ARE in a much better position of not getting a lethal case, but we don’t have long Covid numbers. Given how little…
