> WONT SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN

An ‘antebellum’ party means SPECIFICALLY ‘the period BEFORE the war’, and that period is held out as the height of “southern culture”. And maybe it was, but it was a culture where the very things being celebrated, the frilly dresses and grand architecture and the sophisticated parties were all made possible *directly*…

“You go to hell! You go to hell and you die!”

> “regretful that the set-up sequel didn’t happen” movie. Either this or Buckaroo Banzai.

will bet you $100 real cash money that at some point when movie theaters are reopen at full capacity nationwide, there will be “celebratory” re-releases of stuff that went straight to streaming. If ‘Soul’ wins Best Animated Feature (likely) it’ll definitely have at least a ‘special, 2 week only!’ theatrical run.…

No shit. You could describe Morgan a LOT of ways, and lord knows people have over the years. I’m sure his friends, when asked, say things like “Piers? Oh, yeah. REALLY smart!” “He can be really charming...” “He’s *passionate*, and *honest.*” All of which are probably true to some degree or other.

I saw that they had hired new folks to replace the staff that left, when BATK started showing up in my youtube recs again, the featured vids featured BIPOCs among the new presenters. I tried watching one or two of the newer entries, but the atmosphere was ruined. I could *feel* the tension of “Is this ok now? Is this…

On the plus side, Claire Saffitz is doing videos for her book Dessert Person and Gabby has guested on one to make empanadas. Carla is also doing videos for her book, and Brad is seemingly everywhere doing just about anything. Sola has her own stuff and collaborates regularly with Andrew Rae (Binging w/ Babish)

Sourdough starter is MUCH less a pain in the ass than has been publicized. I snagged some from a friend 2.5 years ago. I feed it every 10-14 days. Feeding it consists of emptying most of it down the drain and filling up the container with equal parts flour and warm water, letting it sit on the counter for about 2…

H Jon Benjamin’s voice work in... well, pretty much everything he’s ever done would beg to differ. In Archer, Bob’s Burgers, even as far back as Home Movies, his voice work was/is an ESSENTIAL part of the character. Archer isn’t Archer without that exasperated smugness, and Bob isn’t Bob without that *souciant* of…

YES.

That may be the case, but to 8 year old me, the explanation was “Preserving life takes precedent over ritual every time.” I asked the rabbi “So if you were washed up on a desert island and the only thing to eat was bacon, that would be ok, because if you didn’t, you’d die?” “Exactly.”

Their best sketches: anything Star Wars, most of the He-Man stuff, most of the Xmas stuff.

Claire had Gabby on this week making empanadas. I was thrilled beyond reason. I <3 Gabby.

Fun story: from the age of 8 to the age of 35 I had a 2 different pig’s heart valves flapping along quite nicely in my chest. (clarification, I had one from 8 to 16. It was replaced with a new one that lasted to 35.) Yes I am Jewish, raised Reform, but no longer practicing. But yes, I DID ask my rabbi how it worked…

Waughmp Waughmp!
