You couldn’t pay me enough money to make me listen to a Jack Antonoff produced song.

Lol, I love how you snarked about him until Sabrina Carpenter pushes back, then it’s “oh actually he’s pretty great.” AV Club: The Mitt Romney of pop culture criticism.

When Carpenter first met Antonoff some years ago, she “was peeing my pants because I wanted to work with him for my whole life.”

“I love his work, he makes me sound like everyone else!”

That self lobotomy needed at least a brief reference in this review. I will allow Hughie escaping from the vent. I’m not sure when A train whisked him away but it was plausible enough for me. For some reason the bloody mayhem after Ice Maeve got lasered in two was less believable. I know skates are sharp but even in…

I love that last bit, self-lobotomizing as either recreation or sanity-preserving self-care. (I’m guessing it grows back.)

I know that this show has always been about as subtle as a sledgehammer as far as satire goes. But the fiction is getting so close to reality that I’m genuinely not sure whether I’m enjoying it anymore.

Shireen was too much for me!

Incidentally, before I saw this article I borrowed his book “A Cook’s Journey” from the library. His stories are fascinating, but some of his writing style leaves a bit to be desired.

It scares me though, because I can’t see them funding their schemes forever. The RV and Red Lobster stuff made up only a few minutes of content and cost at least $2 million.

Artist: corporations are evil

Maybe they can have sequels that follow Riley through her life like Michael Apted’s “7/21/28/35/42/49/56/63" series! Also known as the “Up” series, not to be confused with Pixar’s Up.

I live a comfortable middle-class life working for a corporation. It’s anything but miserable. I recommend it.

I guess there’s just enough sci-fi bullshit in Severance to keep the suits at Apple from catching on to the message of “corporations are evil and working for one is miserable”

Bourdain was an interesting and multi-talented guy, but he wasn’t very good at having another writer and artist make comics out of his pretty cliche ideas. I was kind of hoping it was going to be like all those crazily detailed manga about chefs... not so much.

Mostly because it’s referred to here as a history lesson - the tree thing is mostly misinformation thats been circulating TikTok. Only a small fraction of trees are even gendered. Slate did a nice article trying to track down why it started. Increased pollen is not the result of some vast city planner tree gender…

i guess you haven’t heard about chance perdomo then...

“Hey baby! Wanna kill all humans?”

‘”So...no mention of Butcher finding the incarcerated kids in the basement? Guess you didn’t watch the post credits.”’

I don’t really see where it is specifically about Americans. Obesity/lack of exercise is becoming a global problem with the spread of fast food and children more interested in devices than playing outside.It’s even beginning to be a problem in China.
