Here’s some info on that:

Yes, that’s been on my Netflix list for about three years, but since they’re pulling things off left and right, I guess I better watch it soon. Probably would be a good Opening Day/Week MLB thing to watch.

Slightly related, I remember there was a dumb novelty song written about the White House plumbers, which seemed fine then but I don’t think a novelty song could do justice or even be appropriate for the shit going on today.

Yeah, it’s getting difficult to get enthralled by the outrage expressed about stuff like Watergate when contrasted by the overwhelming ho-hum over the absolute shitshow going on now. I watched American Hustle the other day about the whole AbScam controversy and despite being a kid when all that happened (and not fully…

I saw the photo and wondered “What new Maria Bamford crazy character is this?”

I bet Gerri could get it and she knows it and it probably getting down somewhere while all of them are chopping each other to bits.  She’s always half-heartedly shutting Roman down... or toying with him for her own pleasure later.

Kyle Rittenhouse killed some people, so... prolly not.

I’d like to add Them (Amazon) and episodes 3 and 8 of Monsterland (Hulu) for consideration.

It is weird I kept looking for her actual name in the article and never found it (as of 2:03 EST)? Oh, well, congrats Girl Boss Rat Killer... Hopefully someone will be able to make a phone call to the NYC press office.
