The babies’ birth was probably my favorite sitcom joke of the episode.  One minute of pushing and out pops a fully dressed, clean three month old.

I would say this one was definitely the darkest yet, but it’s dark in a way that would be way over a kid’s head.  I would have no problem letting my 4 year old watch this and I think a kid would need to be 15 or so to get the darker bits.

The original Life on Mars, or the terrible American remake?  I agree that WandaVision is no (original) Life on Mars, but I also don’t think it’s trying to be.  The central question of Life on Mars was how he had gone back in time - that isn’t the question in WV.  It’s what made her decide to construct this tv reality…

Honestly it’s probably anxiety presenting itself as being Extra. Parenting kids can be hard. Parenting them in a pandemic, when you rely on being able to meet up with people at the park or go to baby gymnastics classes or whatthefuckever and you can’t do any of that, is really fucking isolating.

The best parenting advice I can give to new/expecting parents is: “Your baby may or may not like something you try! Because your baby is their own person! And once you find something that works, it’s likely that it’ll stop working in two months anyway.”

I mean, LBJ’s is still going gangbusters.  Any of the presidents who built their libraries at universities have seen their libraries be pretty popular, I think.  That said, Trump will build his as an extension on Mar-a-Lago, I’m sure.

I just can’t get my head around the foolishness of this sort of thing. Yes, everyone’s gotta eat, and my god, I miss going to concerts and shows. But why in the world would we be encouraging people to get out and mingle with 300 of their closest strangers? (Also, the Stubb’s yard is NOT that big - big enough to stuff…

I’m still enjoying it!  I don’t need it to be another The Good Place or 30 Rock, really, and I have plenty of sitcoms that make me think and cry as well as laugh.  I’m very content just to watch Holly Hunter be weird AF (as Fonzie) for 22 minutes a week.

I mean, I agree.

Well, cool, but also . . . weird.  Why are you referring to the grown men you date as boys?  Boys are children.

Perhaps I should have specified. Nobody I know above the age of 18, of the many many people I know, have ever said “I’m dating this new boy.”

Always here for a good Thomas Aquinas joke.

I mean, I would say yes, in reference to disclosing whether they missed doses. I’m a cis woman on hormonal birth control and I would DEFINITELY tell a sperm-producing partner whether I had accidentally missed a few days of my birth control, and that’s not even risking their physical health.  But if I had missed four…

Yeah, but see, no one says “I’ve been dating this new boy,” and that is the point of the letter writer. It’s weird and infantilizing to refer to a grown-ass woman as a girl unless you are that grown-ass woman’s good friend and you are channeling Whoopi in Ghost to warn her about the fuckwit she’s dating: “You in…

For my money, Saved by the Bell and Beverly Hills 90210 (the latest reboot) are the best reboots I’ve seen, and that is not a statement I would have bet money on a few years ago.

Trump sat alone in a boggy marsh/totally motionless except for his sharts . . .

I presume we’re just jumping ahead to 2024.

WHOA.  I met the Hanson brothers once whilst we were at the same day party at sxsw (this was like a decade or more ago) and they seemed so normal.  Damn, Hanson brothers.  See if I mmmBop with you ever again.

I don’t know; I thought Bridgerton did it well (turned pop music into orchestral arrangements at the various balls and parties during the series) but there has NEVER been a needle drop that worked effectively on Peaky Blinders.

If you had asked me a few years ago if I’d ever get sick of “Red Right Hand” or Nick Cave in general, I would have laughed in your face.  But now . . .
