The boxes are not great because once out of plastic they lose most of their protection from the world. The big cannisters work better as long as you maintain lid discipline.

Freya has a certain “whatever, I know I'm awesome"ness about her. I like it, though I hope it doesn't turn sour; everybody gets shit from the judges and confidence can sometimes turn brittle.

Lizzie did seem distractible but I think Noel was coming around during moments she was waiting. It’s easy to forget that we only see a tiny percentage of the time spent on each challenge. While the showstoppers often require continuous detail work, there’s a lot of time where the bakers are just standing around,…

Free money is a more realistic expectation from Congress than preserving democracy.

Exactly. They could easily have mentioned how drunk they were or made an offhand comment about annulment. Instead, we're allowed to imagine Darcy and Howard going on together, probably in Cleveland.

Agreed. The Killmonger episode has been the weakest so far. In this episode we could watch cosmic silliness and some Howard T. Duck fun. I was most pleased that they didn't undercut his marriage to Darcy at the end.

My nerdy internal response was "But they haven't even introduced Angela to the MCU."

Beyond that, lab tests for viruses have limits, which is why people get quarantined for two weeks when they’ve had confirmed exposure. It’s absurd to stick a couple hundred people into an enclosed space and then be so confident that none of those people have COVID.

In Oregon, this guy would be at risk of losing his medical license. In Florida, he gets put in charge of public health.

If the crimes being tried weren’t so terrible it would be hilarious that this is the best opening witness the defense of a rich and famous recording artist could come up with.

MI-5 handles domestic assassination. They'd only use MI-6 if the pedo was out of the country.

He probably can get away with it if he can prove he got informed consent. The thing is that part of that informed consent would have to include that the drug is absolutely not recommended by the FDA and CDC for treatment of COVID-19. Without that, any signed consent would be medically and legally invalid.

It’s COVID theater, though, since they aren’t going to ban unvaccinated players from taking the court, which they should.

He’s been taking pills that include 0.00000000001% brown sauce in order to become more regal*.

That last sentence captures my feelings exactly. The restraint showed to these people violently attempting to void a legal election was both shocking and disappointing. Protestors on public streets are frequently beaten, assaulted with chemicals, and even shot if a single person throws a rock through a window. The…

Indeed. He’ll probably make a half-million a year as EP and we’ve still got concern trolls pretending that all of this guy’s failings are in the past and that he's being punished unfairly...as if that’s not true of every shitty thing ever done by anyone.

If he’s yelling at a pregnant woman in a drive-thru and believes he acted appropriately, he has absolutely abused other people under the color of authority and almost certainly has done worse than harassment.

They’re not looking for a host near or past retirement age. That's why I don't think Levar Burton was ever in contention despite being one of the most likeable people in Hollywood. I suspect 50 years old is the cutoff.

Imagine being such a shitty person that you get fired from one job but keep another job (likely with a mid 6-figure salary) at the same place.

Okay, then all comparisons and all numbers are irrelevant to you in this matter. You could have just said that. As it is, I assumed some interest because you appeared to want to talk about it. My mistake.
