ok bye

Binged it yesterday, also had the same thought immediately upon seeing the tinsel. Not to mention, wouldn’t there be a huge risk of any shedding of the little strips (tinsel always sheds some!) and having them float into some important port? I’d think tinsel would be a hard no on the load list.

We lost it when she put the boom box on the coffin and played All By Myself. So good.

She is America's best person

Same.

Ooh, you could make a fancy-ass nacho with this!

I forego the mandarin oranges, always. Sometimes—but only if it’s all going to be eaten at its first serving, with no leftovers—I’ll add edamame, for a little protein fill; they get mealy and gross if they sit in that dressing in the fridge overnight. It’s also a good taco filler.

Yeah, agreed, not going to blame someone for taking work, especially in such a limited (and limiting) industry.

White heroes? See also: Green Book — which had damned near zero to do with the actual Green Book, which deserves to have its story told; they could have called that movie literally anything else. Will Mahershala Ali, despite his excellent performance much like Viola’s was excellent, come to feel this way about this…

I hope I’m skinny and gorgeous by next year, but that ain’t likely either.

What the fuck is wrong with this woman? What business is it of hers what anyone else chooses to do with their body? It just seems really strange to me that she would decide she’s a warrior for this side of this issue, especially given some of the lessons of HP as elucidated by Daniel Radcliffe.

Thanks for the tip, will check out Stratford on YT! I was supposed to go to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in the early fall, but that’s off for now. Maybe next year. Have never been to Stratford, a trip there is on the wishlist too.

Haven’t read any Wells other than Murderbot, but have heard good reviews of the Raksura stuff, will check it out once my library re-opens.

I also finished Network Effect! And had binged all four novellas just beforehand. I’m sorry we won’t have any new Murderbot until April 2021 (new novella announced, Fugitive Telemetry).

She was great in Deterrence (1999).

I like All Rise, and I’m not sorry. Yes, it’s a liberal fantasia — but dammit, I need any smart and kind and thoughtful antidote to the growing, and increasingly loud, idiot class. And I like the actors. Simone Missick is ferocious (and a knockout)! Tony winners Ruthie Ann Miles and Lindsey Mendez are hilarious,…

Feels like Nolan hijacked the Westworld property as an in-road to making more seasons of Person of Interest, on the sly. It’s not that I’m not a fan of PoI, it’s that I wish he hadn’t so fully subsumed Westworld into this plot. They do have some natural dovetailing, story-wise, but it’s just not Westworld anymore.

So I made this last night — it ended up way overcooked, womp womp. The microwave method (I did 4:30) was great, but it just didn’t release from the foil after 15 minutes, and I gave it too much time on the second half after giving it extra on the first half. But I will try again!

The song that played when Peter and Simone finally hooked up (eeeee!!!!) was Song for Zula, by Phosphorescent. I really like the music choices in this show.

For my grandpa, it was kippered snacks on buttered Saltines. Good memories.
