It really is! I highly recommend it. Report back when you’ve read it! :)

I’m mildly disappointed that this isn’t a series based on Ling Ma’s fantastic book, Severance, itself an indictment of modern-day work life though set in a pandemic killing off humanity. Perhaps it’s too on the nose.

I’m actually writing something on race at the moment and here is a quote from something I’m reading. Race is:

I can’t believe I’m 42 years old and still going through this shit. Oh well, at least I’m not in my unhappy marriage. I can do solo very well. It would be nice to have someone but I can survive without. At least the bad date stories create good fodder for conversation.

And the date had been black?!

If you look at his tweets since then it’s just a series of questions about his salary and screenshots of blocked tweeters. I also love the internet sometimes. lol

Awww, my heart! What a lovely memory.

And he’s funny and campy on social media. Sometimes it doesn’t translate well to the screen.

How was he to interview? By all accounts he was a swell guy.

Supposedly in the 90s or sometime around then he stopped using his weight in his material.

It’s so strange that he passed now. I recently got into this show and went on a deep dive about Anderson and his work. He was just so sublime in this role. I was deeply moved by the portrayal and he seemed like an all-around good person. RIP.

My friend used to organize with her in anarchist circles in Arizona. She’s baffled by the whole change.

I’m not that far from you. I’m in Switzerland. It really doesn’t matter where you are. Horny men abound. ;) Good luck!

Girl, get your ass on tinder. There’s a bunch of big-dicked younger men who can’t wait to have fun. I went through that phase in my late 30s and had a hell of a time.

Logan is undoubtedly ensuring that Tom is taken care of by Mattson; particularly since Roman is out.

They want power, not money. They have had money their whole lives and will still have money even when this is over. Power is the one thing they haven’t been able to have that they want. Well, that and validation.

Actually, Succession does something even deeper- they create characters so well-rounded that we often DO start rooting for them until the next episode when the writers and actors remind us of how awful they are. Except for Shiv. They don’t seem to know how to write her at all.

“In earlier years, Whedonspeak and Cody-isms were often deployed by characters the audience was supposed to be endeared to, and presented as evidence of their smarts and singularity. But on Succession, the callow, power-hungry Roys speak this way precisely because they are glib and obnoxious.”

This is the truest thing I’ve read in a long time.

So happy for her. Wouldn’t it be awesome if she became an advocate for conservatorship reform?
