Plans is my album. It’s been like a chronicle of my failed marriage.

My 13 year-old lives in her Crocs when she's not in school.

I liked Crooklyn

In the 1970's my dad, a career government employee who voted for the party opposite to the one in power, was accused of sexual harassment by a female employee, who was put up to it by my dad’s boss, for political reasons. The newspaper reported on her accusations with a lot of fanfare, but after the lengthy trial…

Some of my cats have participated in my weekly staff calls, climbing all over my desk and meowing close to my headset’s microphone or picking fights with each other at inopportune moments. At least there’s no video.

Sicario III: Electric Boogaloo

He doesn’t care about the details or helping them. He would like it if they all just disappear somehow.

So, basically thin beignets.

I confess that I have seen it and enjoyed it many times as it popped up on HBO while I still subscribed to it. Your description is spot on.

I had never heard of Norman until I googled the song used in that episode of The Leftovers. It blew me away. Interesting person.

Increased screen time makes me thing Thor is toast.

Agreed. Read and control minds, and you don’t need any other power. This is what i would pick too, although I suspect it is an impopular choice.

He still can’t get over being called a short-fingered vulgarian 30 years ago in a magazine that doesn’t exist anymore, so he’s not over this either.

Great episode. I haven’t watched much of the new crop, and what I have seen is too heavy and ponderous. This was a welcome change.

My husband watched a little and said it could have been an episode of Black Mirror, but this had more humor than Black Mirror usually does.

Another article made the point that they way the character was written/presented actually echoed stereotypes of black sexualization.

There was a mention of it in the NY Times, and I am sure in other places as well, but there was nothing at the level of Black Panther and for a good reason. I recall most people were cringing at the crime committed against Halle Berry and the character of Catwoman.

Which was my original point. It’s not the medium, but the content that is being frowned upon by the snooties of the world.

This woman thought Fifty Shades was horrible, gender-normative crap, full of the worst clichés and delusions about love we tend to believe. I caught scenes from the first two on HBO, and they are so devoid of anything remotely compelling.

Judging by several comments here “I am not/have never been on Facebook” is the new “I don’t own a/don’t watch TV.”

McDonald’s has got to be higher on the list than Chick-Fil-A. Those waffle fries may have good seasoning, but they tend to be soggy.
