Mariah ruins everything. ...

My refrigerator broke and I can’t get a repair technician until Weds so I’ve been eating diner food, Thai, oatmeal with peanut butter, and, this morning, defrosted raisin challah toast with butter that I’ve been keeping on my porch.

I’ll say it: I’d watch that. I thought it was Jamie Pressley at first and that might have been more exciting but it can’t be any worse than what’s out there.

There is no such thing as a latke starter. I’m pretty sure a latke is eggs, potatoes, and maybe flour or spices? Yeah, the flour and spices part is not hard. Grating potatoes for five hours and then frying little patties for two hours so people can eat all of them in ten minutes is the hard part. Screw you,…

I’ll admit I probably wouldn’t have hated it quite as much as I did if I wasn’t forced to watch it against my will. If they’d aired it on tv as originally planned it would have just been meh.

Thank you for pointing this out. As a Jewish person I don’t like to be pandered to. I think I said out loud, “This won’t make me like it!” though I was hoping for a reprise of the same-sex couple in the sauna with their family and they did throw that in!

Oh but it was so creepy the first time Claire talked to the camera. She waited like five seasons to do it and it was worth it.

I’ve got to say this for Megyn: that was pretty classy.

Right? I wouldn’t want an employer to look at the ring at all, because there are so many ridiculous assumptions that might be made based on it.

I’m sure I’ve told this story on Jezebel before, but a few years ago my friend’s husband (who is old money) told me he had to buy a large diamond for my friend (who is new money) so that she employers would “know what she’s worth” when she goes for a job interview. I agree with all the stuff about it being sexist and…

There’s a whole musical about those people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_(musical)

Even the way she spells Megyn is divisive.

A ten year old I know overheard me telling his mother (on the phone) that I was considering leaving my job for somewhere with greener dating pastures. He called out, “Has she tried a Jewish dating service?”

Damn.

Sadly, those things are not entirely untrue, just terrible to say to teenagers. College is theoretically a great place to seek a partner (though maybe NOT the best time to commit to one longterm) since you’re surrounded by people that share your interests and are close to you in age in a way you won’t be later. And,…

Thank you for articulating that. There is a part of me who doesn’t feel like an “adult” at 35 and I think that’s because that’s not how people see me (or at least, that’s my excuse). I also get, more explicitly from my parents, that they worry less about my brothers because each of them has “someone to take care of…

Anyone else relieved that there might not be anymore HOC? It’s still amazing but it was really stressing me out.

That’s the best dressed I’ve ever seen Kellyanne...for serious.

This is revolting...but also...do they realize that if they don’t facilitate her obtaining this abortion, her child is going to be an American citizen?

I would absolutely watch that. 1) John Cena is hilarious 2) Yay for them for putting Leslie Mann in there instead of an extra dude and 3) Those girls actually look like they’re in high school and might make choices based on something other than social pressure. So on casting alone: thumbs up!
