Plus my understanding was that Noth likes ‘em dark and lovely, but I could be wrong!

The problem is that Logan wants something impossible - an heir that is a “killer” but is still totally loyal to Logan and willing to let him stay on as long as he wants. So he wants to see them take control on one side, but then snatches it away as soon as they take any from him on the other, and the kids have…

And also think about how far Roman has come since the first season when it took one barked command from Logan for him to ease his hand down and vote against Kendall. That Roman had no prayer or expectation to be top dog himself and was slavishly loyal to Logan - he’s come a long way since then!

The comments I have seen around the topic of the legal issues around Gerri have really concerned me as I feel anyone experiencing sexual harassment in the workplace will just give up out of concerns they won’t ever see a remedy and are risking getting fired. So let me just clarify further:

So you’re saying that there are only grounds for firing Gerri. . . for consensual conduct with Roman. . . who was not her subordinate. . . and which he did not report. . . while the company bears no liability at all for his subsequent harassment of her? That makes no sense. If Waystar fired Gerri without also firing…

Seriously. For one thing, during the shareholder meeting debacle Tom was actually the only person who expressed legit concern about Logan. I think Roman’s take was something along the lines of “can we give him a cranberry juice and ask him again about the deal?” Just because he’s desperate for his father’s approval…

There are numerous instances of one ex harassing another in the workplace and getting disciplined/fired for it. Just because you consented to something once doesn’t give that person carte blanche to continue that behavior until the end of time. And there’s also no rule that harassment doesn’t count if you harass your…

It’s a great approach! For my 40th and 50th I did weekend getaways with a relatively small group of friends (5-10 people) which was a good compromise - you get to spend actual quality time with folks and if you do your dinner in the same place where you’re staying you can avoid wearing uncomfortable shoes and go to…

I originally thought you meant this was a “purse chair” - as in, something you carry around to balance your $10K Kelly bag or whatever on so it never has to touch the floor. (Pretentious restaurants sometimes have these). I was astonished to find it was actually something even more useless!

I feel this episode also amply displays the perils in throwing a huge party to celebrate a major birthday. Even for people who are not basically suing their family and have actual friends, this type of event creates a LOT of pressure to have the most amazing time ever on a single night that will never be able to measur…

I do think there are some wealthy people who are relatively sane and happy, but that ends long before you get to Roy levels of rich. There is no way you make billions of dollars in one lifetime without doing some incredibly unethical things (e.g., screwing over a business partner, exploiting low-wage workers,…

I can’t tell if that is a cinnamon stick or a cigarette butt in that photo. Neither has any place anywhere near a turkey!

I’m picturing that meeting between Jenna and James Franco and his “people” on 30 Rock where she agreed to pretend to be his girlfriend while shilling for Jamba Juice to conceal his affair with a Japanese body pillow. Those were the days. . .

I feel Connor was maybe originally supposed to be that guy but they then figured it out it would be way funnier for him to rock this loopy presidential run thing rather than be the one sane Roy kid. The only current player who would sort of fit this role is Rava I think - she’ll take the alimony and massive apartment…

You can emotionally cut off a child as well as disinherit him/her, but Kendall’s status as an officer of Roystar Wayco is a different matter. Technically speaking he is a whistleblower and they can’t just fire him for pointing out wrongdoing at the company without risking legal penalties/a suit for wrongful termination…

In a post-COVID world it honestly scares me that ANYONE is completely unable to cook. These days you can no longer rely on restaurants to do your cooking for you, or on grocery stores to be able to keep prepared/frozen foods, mixes, etc. in stock. During the early part of the pandemic I made every single meal I ate…

My family is from Asia and pre-COVID I was flying back and forth every other year or so. There is NO WAY I am keeping my shoes on for the entire duration of a 15-20+ hour flight. Indeed, many of these flights give you a pair of slipper socks entirely for that purpose. I’ll put them on if they give them to me but…

Amen. I enjoy cooking and am good at it but long ago thought this through and decided that it was more important for me to entertain frequently without tearing my hair out than to meticulously make multicourse meals from scratch once or twice a year. And overall, as long as the food is good (and the liquor is flowing) …

I am no grill maven but it’s been a lifesaver during COVID - I live in Manhattan and am lucky enough to have a terrace large enough to accommodate a (gas) grill as well as seating, enabling me to have folks over to dine outside during the warmer months. My go-to has been pork ribs, parbaked with a rub either earlier…

What I meant is that I watched both seasons in my spare time, I certainly don’t know how things work for AVClub/real-world Vaulter. And again, it would take 10 minutes to verify the Colin thing.
