“I admire the commitment by Netflix to supporting projects with LGBTQ representation and color-blind casting/interracial pairings, but I think this is an example of where the attempts at representation didn’t work for me”

Ah! I was wondering why every British character meeting Dani kept looking incredibly impressed to be meeting an American. I hadn’t thought of the fact they moved the time period from the Victorian era.

Hill House was much better (except for the finale, in my opinion -- I actually preferred this finale even if I didn’t love it).

OK, I’ve been waiting days for this, so it is going to be a long read.

the bulk of this finale, pretty much everything after the first 15 minutes, was wonderful to me. I guess that’s not really a surprise, I’ve been super invested in Dani and Jamie from the start, but it basically all worked (and that scene when Jamie comes home and finds Dani with her face centimetres away from the…

“For all that I loved this story for, I do find it hilarious that if at some point the siblings talk about the story and realize that it was actually based on true events from their childhood, then there will be a really awkward moment a minute later when they understand what that means about the sister and their…

This season was really poor and thank you for standing firm and pointing it out. This is supposed to be a scary story..not a bait and switch romance. Hey, if you want a drama romance story, there are lots of options. I did not sign up for a nine hour “San Junipero” but horror instead of sci-fi take. At least San…

I keep thinking about how Hannah was absolutely useless in the finale and yet she was built up as someone that might save the day. Even the official synopsis for this episode alludes to her being heroic. That pep talk Owen gives her is pointless. Whether she left the room or not, she would have been freed from the…

Yet here he is, a moderate liberal, doing something genuinely positive with his time and resources, and here you are, progressive bona fides and all, being internet mad about a TV show.

If we weren’t all so starved for fresh content, I like to think we’d all turn this junk off the second the Kate Walsh couldn’t go to Paris because she got pregnant. It’s absolutely asinine. Yet I kept going for two episodes. And I probably will finish it.

The Washington Post is now reporting that ACB caught and recovered from COVID this summer(kind of huge no one mentioned that), and with Mike Lee and the president of Notre Dame testing positive, it’s looking like her nomination event in the Rose Garden could have been “the” spreader event.

People, can we please shut down the idea that this diagnosis is a hoax? Trump is not Machiavelli - he’s a schoolyard bully, and the thing bullies fear above all else is showing any sort of weakness. At every turn, even before he was elected, Trump has lied, deflected and projected to avoid admitting to the slightest…

Agreed. Being educated, even if you got good grades in the hyper-specific domain you study on your way to your PhD, does not make you actually intelligent, logical, rational or even coherent outside that domain. I have a Masters Degree in a technical field (Data Science) but that does not mean I can throw down an…

Where do I apply for a job in JLo’s office, for I, too, would like to spend my days surrounded by ridiculously attractive people. And I may be a straight woman, but I find I would cook the books, set up shell companies in the Bahamas, or engage in whatever insider trading is necessary to have her smolder at me in…

I went to the University of Alabama, and UA’s enrollment has exploded since they hired Saban. There are a ton of northern frat boy types who want to go to college in the South, and so the school benefits financially by having a very active Greek life that attracts these out-of-staters who pay almost double the tuition…

My shelter pup is still doing well!! He still has some minor puppy issues, but his disposition is so fucking sweet that it makes any and all puppy behaviors that can be used adult trained out with a little patience well beyond worth it. He’s so dorky and sweet, he even knew mom was having a bad day this morning (you…

In the same vein as SailorV’s message, I found out this weekend that my cat Luna is in late stage kidney failure. She was doing fine, and then over the past few weeks she lost a lot of weight. The vets are booked to their ears, so we got her in as soon as we could, and Mr. Petals and I got the call Thursday that her…

So I’m packing! Actually, the Bartender is packing, We arrive in Panama, god willing, in less than one month. So much to do! And here I am, watching college football and drinking wine, and working on my generalized anxiety with pineapple kush medical marijuana (it does actually taste pineapple-y). Oh, and listening…
