He’s Trump-ish. Which alone is depressing.

I really appreciate your re-caps of The Good Place, they always reveal or illuminate something I was not cognizant of. On the other hand, there are times I am flummoxed by a point you bring up, and I will be very interested in revisiting this one... “The teahouse patio where Chidi and Eleanor speak appears to have a…

Ah, maybe so.

There are no beignets but New Orleans beignets.

I was gobsmacked. Gobsmacked that these bakers made it on to TGBBO but don’t know how to make choux pastry, by heart. Are they not ready to make Profiteroles and eclairs on this show?!? I do admit, I don’t know how to make it myself, but the bakers have had to numerous times over the years, so even I might have…

LOL! I was going to point out the same sentence.

NO, it’s not. If it were true then, we would not have such a huge wealth disparity. The wealthy are getting all the breaks, and the middle class and poor are continuously getting dinged and gouged out of even the possibility of creating savings. The wealthy are hoarding their riches, and many on the bottom are working…

YES, exactly!

Great, how does one do that... Detailed steps please.

Wow, a story about something that happens at a high school that doesn’t make me cringe and / or trigger anxiety! This is great! Nice to see a fun activity that the school administration participates in...

Xanthan gum is also great as a personal lubricant, and for shaving...

I know you cannot watch “Another Slice”,(which is much like “Talking Dead”, which reviews the most recent episode with guests, and brings on the most recently axed contestant) but Jamie made an appearance, and he is quite lovely. Jamie redeemed himself, having remade a bake that he failed at on the show. In fact he…

UGH! smh.

And I see myself in your writing: I’ve started to accept the glaringly obvious explanation as to why confrontations make me feel small and helpless, my body coursing with adrenaline whenever someone raises their voice at me. Why I have this irrational fear of making people angry, even walking back fair criticisms…

Oh, yes, this too! I thought with all the extended family always around, surely they must see what was going on and want to help me, but since no one said or did anything to save me, then I must be crazy and wrong and deserving of my life. Only to find out that everyone knew, tell me that they are sorry they couldn’t…

I still haven’t figured out how to extricate myself from certain abusive relationships...

I loved the movie Maurice (and Room with a View), and love the book even more!

Thank you for such a powerful and personal piece. I remember having watched It Chapter One, and enjoying it, yet thinking that it wasn’t very scary (I mostly avoid horror movies), and it felt rather hollow. I have not read the book in 30 years, and you just reminded me what was so affecting about the book, and what I…

His body looks like a designer cologne model’s, but his face is still pure nerd.

Well, obviously Brees shouldn’t be supporting Bring Your Bible to School Day either. Unless the school the kids are going to are a privately funded religious institution, this is just a way to stir up issues, and distract students from learning in a secular school environment.
