I saw Hari live before his career really took off, and he was so great. I really love all his posts on Facebook, which are funny and thought provoking and have a unique "voice". His blog was the first place I ever heard of Stewart Lee who is AMAZING. However, when "Waiting for 2042" came out, my husband and I…

Here's why I hate this song: It's one where in my preteen years it would come on the radio a decent amount, and inevitably it might come on while in the car with an adult and boy did I want to open the car door and jump out, or just die in any possible way, when that happened (see also Red Light Special and December…

I had high hopes for this one — a real musician, and a good one at that, taking on a song that really deserves it!…and, nope, still sucks.

Agreed, something is up with that. I hadn't thought much of it until the one that was "vanilla this time" and then I was like "wait, why are you saying that?!" I think he was maybe making a case for it being an even bigger betrayal than regular cheating, since he was already being kinky with her, so it's not like…

I hadn't heard of him until he was on Throwing Shade, and he seemed so nice and cool it inspired me to finally watch Veep. I was surprised that it was the same person I had heard on the podcast, and I'm so glad I'm watching now. Hm, that's much less interesting now that I typed it out than it seemed in my head. Oh…

Thanks for saying this. Just like what happened here, it's something that often gets phrased as "most abused people go on to abuse" even when what was meant was "most abusers were abused", and even when the speaker doesn't actually think those are the same thing or that they occur with the same frequency. I think…

Oh my god, is THAT why there are so many pointlessly small "parks" in my town?! I thought it was so realtors could say "and there's GREEN SPACE nearby"….fascinating

Strongly agree, as another fat lady who hates it. It perpetuates the whole "women getting a boost by stepping on other women" thing, and of course the fixation on curves always tends to lead to a place where only certain types/areas/sizes of curves are actually acceptable. GROAN.

Well, in my opinion yes absolutely, although I'm sure the humor may not be for everyone. As for Can I Pet Your Dog, I haven't listened to that but I have opinions…Travis, the middle brother, is the producer for that and then he also has a bunch of other podcasts he does with other people, basically podcasting as a…

She's been a guest on that podcast (and My Brother My Brother and Me if you're into other max fun podcasts) and was so charming and witty it made me really wonder if I'm missing something. But, like you, not so much that I have read any of her work.

Agree completely about the evolution of a relationship. Which I think is why a lot of this season bugged me—there can be conflict and tension and interesting stuff without a super trope-y "tempted by hot new lady at work" plot

I know this comment is from a month ago but YES, she reveals in the MILF island episode that she had a malformed baby foot growing out of her regular foot and had to wear corrective footwear (that connected to a headgear). I have rewatched that show too many times.

If the message asking her out seems too weird, have a low key "hey I'm back in town" get together and invite her and some of the small overlap of friends and perhaps some non-overlap friends if you have any that can transcend friend group lines. Send her a message inviting her personally, NOT just a facebook event…

Based on extensive research (ANTM marathons) I think that's how all the best models start.

It's so weird. My least favorite is pictures of smoothies. I think people want to show that they're being healthy or something but if you've seen one green smoothie, you've seen them all. Even less interesting than a plate of food.

Agreed. I have had several bitter arguments with people about why Vicky Cristina Barcelona was terrible. THAT NARRATION OH MY GOD. He lost his ear for normal human dialogue long ago.

Yeah, the Widmore one bugged me less, but I am still deducting some points for running the same gimmick twice.

I'd just like to say how much I hate the "parent hid all the letters some other family member sent you, leading you to think this other family member never loved you, only now you find the letters and it is revealed that they so totally did" trope. It's so overused and such a "quick and easy poignancy" gimmick. Hate.

Seriously. And how did she go from being a girl who torched her crappy stepdad, but other than that had no criminal background that we know of except stealing a candy bar, to a master escape artist able to evade all the cops?

On the CONtrary, he was conditioned to expect cases to randomly pop open.
