I’m generally with you on this - is flying in coach uncomfortable? Yes. Will I complain the next time I fly? Probably. Would I rather take a boat or a train or a bus? Absolutely not.

I agree. It doesn’t need to be perfect. I fly about 6-8 times a year out of a tiny airport. I do what I can to make it suck less (bring snacks, check my bags, no carry on, board at the end if I have an aisle seat, avoid redeyes unless I can’t avoid it) and just accept that it’s going to be a bit of a pain.

At risk of sounding snotty, elite status and the perks that come with it (upgrades, other avenues of increased comfort) seem ridiculous or extraneous to the masses because they are for those who know the toll frequent travel can have on a person. If you fly twice a year during the holidays to see your parents and the…

Flying to NZ this fall, and I nearly passed out at the cost of even coach tickets. I plan to drink heavily and load my phone with a million audio books. At least I've heard Air New Zealand is pretty nice. But yeah, I can handle some discomfort to save literally thousands of dollars.

I will remember to use “how are you today?” after reading this.

Yes. He looks like an albino shark.

That cheater banner is like what most every person whose ever been cheated on WANTS to do but so few have the budget. Well-played.

hahahha Stephanie March. Props. That is hilarious.

Weirdly, I liked Harry Crane in season 1, and was appalled at him by the end of the series; as I’ve been rewatching, I’ve tried to figure out what the hell happened (and when).

Yes please!! We can go out and you can pretend to be a zoologist and we can get into a debate about which are better: fish or mammals.

No, Pete is the actual worst. And I judge people who like him. Like, I was reading the AV Club recaps, and they’d be like “well, Betty’s such a child, emotionally. But I really love Pete, he’s so easy to identify with”, and I just want to punch them all for it. Cuz no one is an entitled little baby like Pete. I’m…

This isn’t very nice but whatever.

As much a I want to know what happened to Peggy’s baby, I did appreciate the mention of him when Peggy was talking to Stan. It was a very poignant moment to me and honestly, I feel like bringing him back more wouldn’t have had the same impact.

This. Can I get one last “fuck Duck” in for what he did to sweet little Chauncey?

YOUR list is way better than Weiner’s.

I’m 46, a research prof, and not at NU, but I found Kipnis’ article off-putting. Faculty, really, it’s not that difficult - don’t fuck undergrads and do not fuck grad students in your department. We had a similar referendum at my university recently and it prompted absolutely zero discussion because it’s absolutely a…

She’s an extraordinarily beautiful child. But I’d hafta see Wiz in the same outfit before I could say who wore it best!

That Nikki and Ariana are the Lil Kim and Mariah of the second millenium?

Congrats! May you have a medically boring pregnancy and a healthy baby who sleeps well!

Congratulations ! :) and Goodluck with the ultrasound (*shudder*)
