To one of the ’14 residency shows at the Odeon (I just can’t call it ‘Eventim Apollo’)? I remember when they were announced I considered trying to get over from NYC to London for one but the timing just wasn’t right. I was in Secondary School in Ireland at the time of her ’86 Hounds tour so I was able to do the…

What a waste of wine.  

Indeed. I was lucky enough to see her in ’86 (I think), touring Hounds. I think she was my second or third ‘real’ concert. I too still have it on heavy rotation.

Indeed.

I’m so delighted at this news.  Really like this class of inductees.  

JFC.  Unsurprising, but JFC all the same.

Huh?

One of my favourite comments about the Gala:

Okay, Keri, you can have Matthew as a guest star. ’Cause he better be available for Perry Mason S03 (& S04).

I think Cindy McCain should’ve gone without the pearls and maybe a v-neck would’ve been a better look.  Or a mock-turtle neckling (could be a solid band of blue matching the body of the dress) to give the pearls a better place to rest.  And the pin is kind of misplaced even though it’s probably one of her husband’s.

These shameless people need to get a fucking grip.

I’ve a good friend who does marketing for Maybelline. I’ve no idea whether she was involved in any way with the decision to partner w/ Ms. Mulvaney... even so, I’m going to say she was.   Gonna go congratulate her for the brilliant business decision.

There needs to be a band called The Justins & Zooey.

Matt - thanks for the recaps.  I’ve really enjoyed reading them.  In a few weeks I’ll probably do a S2 re-watch and read the recaps as I watch the eps.

How long until The Cheesecake Murder Podcast starts*? How many episodes will it go?

‘firmly indifferent to living’ - boy, I’ve been there so, so many times! People really need to normalise talking about this.

This is the other thing: complacency! Having spent my teen years in a country where abortion was illegal until very recently (Ireland) & having memories of ‘shopping trips’ to England I was acutely aware of what the US would become when Roe was overturned.

INDEED! I recall having a long, somewhat heated conversation with my brother during the summer of ’04 (Bush-Kerry). At that time he was quite neutral about abortion (definitely leaning pro-choice, but I think at that time I think he didn’t feel like he had any skin in the game; thanks to his wife he’s definitely…

I’m really enjoying this. If it doesn’t get renewed, I hope they the season finale will also work as a graceful, sensible series finale. If it does get renewed, I hope it only goes a few seasons. And they are able to write a graceful, sensible series finale.

Any non-reproductive sexual act is a potential low-wage worker who can be exploited by future billionaires.
