Yeahhhh.... they allude to bits of it in the first but it was so small that we got to just enjoy the sweetness. The first season was so wholesome and lovely that part of me wanted to just let it exist in that, without making them go through everything ahead. I’ll still watch though - this production, cast and crew, is…

Also, fuck off. She’s been your step mother for nearly 20 years. I understand there was a mess with your mother, but get over it you spoiled man-babies.

I’m grouchy too.

Absolutely. They were together for... a month? And there was an interview about their relationship released almost simultaneous with the debut of them spending any time together? It was all a ridiculous stunt. If it raised her profile and she can turn that into the Debi Mazar role in a Madonna biopic, then by all…

Right? It’s like no one ever watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Not to mention, Pete truly seems to not care what his significant other does. If he just wants to get stoned and hang out and have fun, that’s got to be a big relief after decades of controlling narcissists.

Right. It sounds like they get alone and have a good friendship. Okay. 

Which is referenced in the show!

She is very effective in this role. I can’t speak to her work outside of it, but she really did some good work in Greys.

I love how much she hated everything she did. This is also peak Hilary for me:

Maintenance Phase is just the absolute best podcast, and I love their rapport so much. The way they continuously blow my mind with how we’ve been programmed with junk science and lies.

I think it’s a different approach. This could be doing two or three smaller 15 or 30 minute exercises throughout the day, so you don’t just hit the gym once and then go - much easier to do if you don’t have an office job. 

You have more faith than I do. I don’t trust this country anymore. California is dangerously close to having Larry fuckin Elder as its governor, and he’s batshit crazy too. 

It’s already happening. I know many people whose posts were removed on instagram. And, I’m not talking about posts with nudity or semi-nudity or even sexuality. A friend with a good sized following posted a fundraiser for a trans organization (entirely text based, no images), and it was removed. 

No disrespect to Lizzo, who I love, but the Muses from the animated movie were perfection and we should just forget about ever trying to Muse again.

It also reminds me of the Tom Ford breastplates that a few people (ie Zendaya) wore on the red carpet- it’s definitely molded, not just paint.

They’ve been controlling her because it’s paid them a lot of money.

Cuomo has very few friends to begin with, and the rats are jumping from the ship. There are enough Democrats who hate the way he’s been a horrible asshole for decades that I’m guessing they know this is a prime opportunity to take him out. I’m hopeful for a (metaphoric) Theatre of Pompey.

She won statewide office there nearly 20 years ago when she was a different person with a different reputation. I think she’d not find a warm embrace.

I didn’t find Deborah horrible. And I did see growth on both of their ends. Progress isn’t always a straight line, and both of them did revert at various times to old habits, but the relationship they develop and the mutual respect is really interesting. 

I read Kent’s answer as a condemnation of “california sobriety”. It doesn’t go off about how awful Demi is, but about how it does a disservice to sober people who cannot drink to be told that wine and weed is “sober”. That’s a gateway to relapse and prolonged issues for some people.
