I had a very similar reaction to Mean Girls.  I teach high school girls, so a few years ago I figured I should check out this cultural touchstone.  It’s so much better, smarter, and funnier than it has any right to be.

Clueless. I thought of it for years as a chick flick for teen girls, then finally I saw it and realized how charming, smart, and funny it was.

I think it’s irresponsible to call masks “hygiene theater.” They aren’t total protection but they work well at preventing spread. Americans have a real “I’m all that matters, fuck everyone else” streak so the concept of wearing a mask to protect people you don’t know seems impossible to process.

It was so revealing he keeps calling her “my wife” even though they signed divorce papers months ago and live in two different countries.

Yes, Lindt white chocolate is good, the Twix stuff has an odd flavor.

There was a small moment from a previous episode, where Ted was giving a team talk following a defeat and he tells them he has ‘no expectations’, causing Dr Fieldstone to raise an eyebrow. Ted is adrift, not knowing where he is headed, feeling as if he has no control over his life and his naturally optimistic side is…

The Iced Lemon Poundcake is delicious.

I already said this in the “Carol of the Bells” feature, but I’ll say it again: I like my nice TV friends being nice to each other. And hey, if Ted Lasso isn’t your thing, then far be it for me to tell you how to feel about it. Personally, I don’t need sustained conflict; I already have that every single goddamn day…

Aisle-wanderer turned list-maker here. I would say I’m an introverted adventurer and I do like to make recipes up as I go, but that said I don’t put much stock in things that try to extrapolate your personality from something like this. In my wandering days, my approach was basically this: go to the grocery store and…

This also isn’t auditioning for the role of “Random Fat Person #1" on the subway with two lines.

Without having seen it, my guess is the scenes with Tripp and Lewinksy are going to be fairly key in the story. You are going to want actors you can trust.

I mean that sounds fine but does adding a little salt really deserve the whole *new flavor* promotion blow out?

Exactly. There are so many talented actresses that could fit the bill physically. You know, the ones that are typically in supporting roles because the lead is usually model thin (don’t @ me with exceptions, you know that thin actresses have more opportunities). It’s not on the level of whitewashing, but why do it…

Actually, I don’t think it’s silly at all. It’s a cliche joke that a gorgeous actress being made up ugly for a movie is Oscar bait.  Why not give it to a less conventionally attractive actress?

“Are men not allowed to do that too now?”

We were not ready for normal but we demanded it anyway and now things have gotten much worse all over again.

If there’s 50 calories in each. And small meal is 4, and regular meal is 6. Then they’re advocating a 600-900 calorie a day diet.

So the “revolution” here is eating disorders. It sounds like a crash diet meal plan ala slim fast pitched as midway between Soylent (food is hard!) and your average meal delivery service.

You do not like Green Squares of Scam?

I would not eat them on a dare,

I’m guessing these taste almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

Judging from your completely out of pocket comment, nobody would really care to understand what your bar for “fun” is either.
