It’s never too soon! I want an entire episode devoted to those two falling in love, done in the style of a Hepburn-Tracey flick. Cheryl and Toni are assigned to be lab partners, and over the Bunsen burners...sparks fly!

I would SO WATCH a biopic of Maria Theresa. She is 100% my homegirl. Partially because she founded my grad institution, but also because she was just such a total BAMF in the War of Austrian Succession.

Exactly. Jessica can come to the cookout with Octavia.

Exactly! I missed fun, bitchy Brianna, instead of Disaster Bitchy Brianna we got.

I hope the next season deals with the extent of their children’s betrayal: it is entirely reasonable for Grace and Frankie to be hurt by their kids’ decision to pack them off because they still, after all this time, don’t understand that their mothers are capable adults. Does Frankie gently undermine Bud’s confidence

Get this kid a King T’Challa Fellowship to the University of Wakanda.

Ding ding ding! My best friend is white (I’m black), and she teaches at a majority non-white school. The very first gift I got her when she was hired for that job was Beverly Tatum’s Why Do All the Black Kids Sit Together In the Cafeteria? because I wanted to her understand that just like racial dynamics were

Bingo. The people he and his regime murdered were also once children, children who managed to not enact a fucking genocide.

This is so pure and good. Thank you for reminding me of this.

If it were under $50, I’d totally go.

This is the sort of song I’d be okay with hearing after I’m three Bloody Marys into brunch, because the entire table can go on a half-hour tear about how stupid it is while also dancing along.

Otherwise you end up looking like my middle school choir director, or my dad (briefly*) after the divorce.

It serves two purposes: one, it allows him to attempt to recapture that lost youth; two, it alerts all reasonably intelligent people that this dude is capital-C Creepy.

I hope not. The last thing I want is to see those two do another movie together—they have a staggering lack of chemistry onscreen, and it’s so dull.

I am always and forever here for Ann Curry dragging the shit out of everyone. She is incredible.

Why was that never an episode of The West Wing?

You don’t understand because you’re willfully ignorant. It has nothing to do with your life circumstances.

Pretty sure that’s an ebook on Amazon.

God damn you. Those all look delicious.

Damn it, now I just want mozzarella sticks.
