And “wait for streaming” is 6 weeks nowadays, based on DS2.

More medium-term: the managers around you suddenly have their doors closed at lot. (Presuming in-person offices.) 

Also, some companies think it’s helpful for the layoff-ee to be able to start looking for a job immediately, rather than having to wait until Monday.  Counter-fear: are they more likely to come right back with a gun during the week, or stew about it all weekend and do it Monday?  (Applies in US only.)

Right.  The anti-Chappelle movement has bullied Netflix into...releasing a statement that any of their employees who dislike the fact that they keep giving him airtime are free to quit anytime.  Wokism gone mad, I say!

I’m partial to the point of view of Youtube guy Razbuten, who says: I’m not telling you how to play, but I’m saying I think you’ll have a better time, overall, if you push on through and learn to fight the bosses as designed. (Which would preclude both summoning a human who can solo the boss, and pulling out that one…

Yeah, the parenthetical “we don’t have a dog” is not, actually, to the point here.

Now, if I get two pieces of bread with topping/filling on both...

...the developers have been receiving unnerving harassment from such “fans,” including being sent of photographs of genitals.

Anything you own that has a filter that can be replaced: if you’ve never replaced it, do it now.

Maybe just a coincidence, but when Bunny makes the trashcan shot, she says “Lin-sanity!” Which is mainly a decade-old reference to Jeremy Lin when he was with the Knicks, but also Lin turns out to be Nina’s last name. Huh.

I’ve spent decades thinking that Christina Pickles, who played Ross/Monica’s mother, was Jewish, but I seem to be wrong about that. 

Yes. The mnemonic can be Phoebe’s holiday song one year:

Since people keep throwing lengths of time around: the 60-D Senate lasted from July 7 2009 (Al Franken seated) to Feb 4 2010 (Scott Brown wins election in MA).  So 7 months, including end-of-year holidays and all.

I forget the line, but not only are the Sovs using US design, Margo knows it, which is an extra tell.

Once, at a small startup, I found some exec’s notebook sitting in the coffee area. Opening it to see if I could figure out who to return it to, a saw a page that said “RIF [Reduction in Force] Thursday”. I was “good” and only asked my own (lower-level) manager about it, to whom it was news but investigated and eventual…

“So you clearly don’t know how polls work. Polls only get 1000-1500 responses. Several polls would still only be a few thousand respondents. Not indicative of over 8 million people.”

Margot confessed to the FBI and is now a double agent, right?  RIGHT?  Please?

I also laughed my head off at Obi-Wan’s “Hello there.”

I believe the intended question is, why isn’t Lola around by ANH?

Let’s reflect on the existence of The Jackie Thomas Show, a sitcom in which Tom Arnold played a guy who was bad at being in a sitcom.  (I actually saw every episode and liked it, but talk about being given lemons and making lemonade.)
