Suggesting this would have gotten you laughed out of the writing room of Veep, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec and The Benny Hill Show. Yet it actually happened in real life.

While I’m happy Biden won I am terrified by the record number of people who voted for Trump after everything that’s happen.

Am I grateful that the minorities saved us from authoritarianism? Hell yes. Thank you. But shit’s got to change, this is so far beyond acceptable. I don’t how to start because my default is to…

Right.  These people would rather listen to Claire McCaskill, who lost her bid for re-election, than AOC, who while she has a safe D seat, got there because she beat an established, well-connected Dem in a massive primary upset.  Maybe AOC actually provides some useful lessons about winning elections, that is for…

Why is it baffling? Moderates have been doing that forever. They are far more afraid of the progressive left than they are of the regressive right, and it shows. They wanted to appeal to the center-right moderates, failed and are blaming progressives for that failure, instead of looking at why and how their appeals…

“You only get to keep unemployment benefits when you’re laid off by a company that no longer has work for you to do.”

A friend of mine had a couple of roommates who decided to quit their jobs without anything lined up and travel the world for a year. I thought at the time that that was some millennial-level bullshit. A month later, everything locked down, Americans became personae non gratae everywhere, and the economy took a giant…

God, those poor kids.

Can we not “post-Trump era” I feel like it is a curse or bad karma

the Lincoln Project, which is nothing if not a very ingenious scam to enrich some of the worst Republicans from the previous decade, whitewash their reputations, and ensure that they’ll have enduring relevance in the coming years.

Can’t agree. Kubrick rolls out a tale of utter degradation to synth Beethoven. I love the killer quick of Alex against a society who literally fashioned him whole cloth and in turn tries to use its own machinations to obliterate its own creation and create an entirely new monster.  You love to hate Malcom McDowell as…

I watch it every so often again. It’s a fascinating film. It’s one of those movies you can’t compare to any other film. It has it’s looks and style. One thing I’ve noticed and find funny about the film is the way Alex speaks to adult authority figures. He’s always shouting “HELLO BROTHER!” He’s always mocking them.…

I have not...BUT it’s on my binge list. I fiiiinally watched Bodyguard.

Amber Ruffin does everything better than all of us.

I have never watched Drew’s show, and I’m kinda ‘mkay’ with her performances to date. But she seems to be Jezebel’s latest darling. I did watch a montage of clips from her show. Who she reminds me of most? Lucille Ball. And that’s ok with me. Women do NOT get to act like fun-loving kids when they grow up, unlike men…

My god, just look at that Hitler Youth. He has just broken into a version of “Edelweiss”.

Yep, she was great. My family was generally quiet and reserved, so that scene where Lindsay visited Kim Kelly’s house reminded me of the horror I experienced on those occasions where I visited friends who had dysfunctional families and absolutely didn’t give a shit who they got into a screaming argument in front of.

Well she did mention she lives in NYC so that’s a given.

I would give anything to watch a mini-series or show about Ann Dowd and Margo Martindale as rival intelligence agency directors (and neighbors?) working to bring the other down. Do they even make enough Emmys?

I’ll never forget that Michelle Wolf compared Sarah Huckabee Sanders to Aunt Lydia, then said Sanders burns facts to make the perfect smoky eye, and Maggie Habermann and Mika accused Wolf of viciously insulting Sanders’ appearance. If you think about it, both Mika and Habermann were acting as though Wolf had said…

Man, she was fantastic in The Leftovers. But so was everyone, perfect cast top to bottom.
