I appreciate that she’s at least calling this position an “assistant” and not an “intern” like Sonja. I assume that means Ramona is paying?

I think Ryan and Trista are doing relatively okay these days.

You don’t automatically have your wages garnished if you can’t pay in full. The IRS is actually quite reasonable about allowing people to make payment plans, but you do get charged interest just like a loan repayment.

I outloud said, “god damnit Joe,” at that scene.

He’s probably friends with Romeo Rose, who you might remember as the incredibly skeevy, horribly racist, sexist, xenophobic, etc, Austin male who got viral fame looking for a woman. They kind of look alike, actually.

NPR did a great article on part of this issue

I assume this was Donald’s idea, to show that you can be pregnant and still be sexy.

They were on yesterday’s Fresh Air. Reading their quotes is good, but hearing them is like magic inside your ears.

Also, I would like to spend my whole day talking about this, but then I won’t get any work done and will probably have negative feels about my boyfriend simply because he is not Tormund. He is a redhead, but he’s balding, work in an office with a business dress code, and just shaved his beard.

That sentence has terrible grammar,…

It makes me feel the butterflies.

I love this so much. His eyebrow says “I want your body,” while his slightly awkward grin says, “I want to hold your hand and find out what all of your favorite things are but I’ve never had that feeling before and don’t know what do next.”

The written piece on which this episode is based is amazing (as is everything by The Marshall Project).

I’ve been known to place certain certain brooches I own a little lower down on my chest. I would not fit in at Bob Jones!

This is a job in our modern world. When you ask kids what they want to be when they grow up, they can now say, “I want to manage social media influencers.” That depresses me.

Bill Murray’s character is 90% one-liners.

Classic grumpy news editor character. Love it.

I care way more about Michael than I even care about Jane!

Team Michael all the way.

Like, I really hope that by the end of this season there is enough footage of them for someone to put together a whole music video.
