unless you’re also housing your dish scrubber in the dishwasher, the point about dishwashers is just... gross. the food is going to stay on the scrubber if you don’t use water to rinse it off. besides, some of that food is going to fall into your sink, and you’ll definitely want to rinse that off, unless you want old…

there is only one island in the middle; the far surface is a stove/cooking surface, and the near surface is a bar for sitting/eating/drinking at. 

But also like what? So it was a love story, in the very traditional heteronormative sense? After we just established Loki’s queerness?

it’s a Jez clown; any chance to disparage white, cis, or straight people is a virtue-signaling opportunity they won’t pass up, so that everyone really knows they’re a cool ally 🙄 best to dismiss when you can; a different flavor of troll.

no self diagnosis but, i can say that excessive sun does feel aggravating, even from indoors. it’s like being in a room with too-bright lights, and combined with the heat and inevitable sunburn... egh.

Why was Sylvie introduced as a patient, ruthless master planner only to be depicted as a petulant, impatient hothead ever since?

i recently rewatched both with a friend, and agreed that season 2 is better; the suspense involved was also keyed up quite a bit. i hope the show/people involved get their due eventually. 

i was so sure it would get a nomination this time. i could understand maybe being under the radar on season one, but season two was incredible. really, really disappointing that it’s not getting more recognition (and yeah, it’s probably due to being on Apple TV+).

neurodiversity is important... but respecting everyone’s voice and time is also important, and establishing a neutral-to-friendly structure is a good way to give everyone time to speak up and participate. “Be candid and direct” seems harsh, but the other tips are pretty benign.

mandatory muting on Zoom calls is helpful…

i have learned, through experience, that babies also love brightly colored hair <3 (probably for the same reasons listed above re: clothing). i don’t want kids ever ever ever, but making babies laugh and smile is always a win.

it took me a few read-throughs too... 7 kids total, but 4 born this year, i think.

seeing him work with kid chefs is precious; the bad boy thing is definitely played up for TV (with grown ups).

the look on that kid’s face, though :( this, this is an example of why not everyone needs to have kids or be encouraged to do so. he had a tighter hold on his beer than the kid.

Airbnb has been really handy for saving money during international travel; those plane tickets are absolutely not cheap (from the US). i’ve only had good experiences; hope that doesn’t change, reading the other comments on this article.

what a weird thing to say.

horseback riding is actually pretty physically taxing; it’s not like sitting in a chair. also agreed that there are no poor equestrians. 

so, one of his early roles was in The Gate, which was pretty ridiculous. not knocking the film because i actually enjoyed the campiness of it, but let’s not pretend he’s been exclusively working on masterpieces here.

same; there was also an element of “can’t disrupt the ‘ownership’/superiority dynamic” at play; instilling too much confidence would definitely have broken that.

yeah, unless you have pristine tile, this seems like there would be a lot of potential issues (and if you had pristine tile, why paint it?)

nah, the headline was definitely written to cast a bad light on Dave Grohl and make it seem like juicy drama. it’s the norm for other sites under this same umbrella; The Root is not immune or special in that sense. clickbait wins; gross, either way.
