My question is: do I take a vacation day? Do I take a sick day? Do I just not show up? I have a salaried corporate job so I can take a vacation day, but doesn’t that seem a little against the spirit of a strike?

IKR? I also harbor a deep and lasting love for Rob Lowe...

yeah... i did find myself truly enjoying Timothy Olyphant though. He’s a gem.

Hell, if it weren’t for wifi calling, I’d still be living in a cell deadzone.

yeah, I watched the whole thing and still wasn’t sold. There were a few truly hilarious moments. Like when you see Drew flying-squirrel-jump in a rain poncho attempting to catch the live chicken. That shit was spit-take funny.

it comes down to pride. clearly, in Stearns county they were too proud to admit failure, even when it was glaringly obvious. They dug in their heels. The LAPD (in this instance, at least) had enough integrity to know that admitting you’ve made a mistake is part of learning and growing. To paraphrase Jonathan…

Recently I listened to a podcast where the cops fucked up an investigation really hard and it took 20 years for the real killer to be prosecuted, and the notable difference is that when they finally figured it out, they were all “we messed this up, and we are going to do a full internal review to figure out what we…

Some of us older millenials WELL remember the tell-tale clicky noise. And being a ninja at gently depressing the button thingy and replacing the handset gingerly.

YAS Casefile.

Yep, it is great. I also listen to CaseFile (i don’t remember how I found it, it’s a fairly small podcast). It’s pretty good for being fairly amateur, and the host is an Aussie and I just love the accent.

I listened to In the Dark a few months ago. It was so incredibly well done! Excellent reporting. All the shite from those cops tho made me so ragey.

This is why I’ve refused to see John Wick so far. The merest threat to that dog and I’m like NOPE NOPE NOPE. I can’t. Even though supposedly it’s a kickass movie and I’m missing out. Maybe one day I’ll summon the courage...

ugh and what’s more is that it’s a bizarre macho power move, but it includes a few pats with a flaccid left hand. It’s an unholy marriage of the lingering too-long handshake with a dead-fish handshake, aka, literally the hellspawn of handshakes.

at what point will we know that we are “ready” for a woman president?

yeah, I’m not so sure he has the mental capacity to form a long game strategy...

ehhh... we can’t place the responsibility of diversity on the under-represented... that’s kind of specious.

I’m right with you. Criticizing the actor for accepting a job offer is specious at best. Like, really, would you turn down a lucrative offer that you may never see again for the sake of larger social justice? That’s asking people to be saints and isn’t fair.

What I want to know, is how the hell this sketch came to be. Like, who would look at Melissa McCarthy, and say, yeah, she could play Spicer with some prosthetics and a wig...

full disclosure, I was stoned when I watched this sketch. That being said, I could not BELIEVE she made it through the entire thing without breaking. That woman is a comedic superhero. That was the funniest shit I’ve seen in a LONG TIME. stoned or sober.

I love this beef. It is sustaining me rn.
