There’s obviously a lot more to acting that just looking like somebody, but

Eric Bogosian should play Anthony Bourdain in a biopic. 

We have one and it’s just more trouble than it’s worth. I love my mandolin for veggies, but unless I’m going to process five pounds of meat or more I’m not breaking out the deli slicer. It was my wife’s purchase and she refuses to let it go, so it just hangs out next to the *sigh* egg cooker and yogurt maker.

It’s deli meat. If it’s ordinary ham/salami/turkey coming from the plant then slicing at the counter does nothing except look good. This is just foolishness on Subway’s part.

Ain’t that the truth?

Executives need to justify their pay by making arbitrary decisions!

Cleaning is one of the reasons why I reject most kitchen gadgets for a good sharp knife. My 13 year old made kalamata olive butter two days ago, and the food processor is still not washed. (At least it won’t spoil, since butter is stable at RT.)

Yeah the meat really isn’t any different than before.  It seemed like a silly idea to begin with.

She seems absolutely fucking exhausting to be around. 

Please. She was more than happy to mug for cameras and put everything out there back in the day. A 20 year old Angie in 2023 would have grown up on insta and tiktok and been all over socials with her mans vile of blood around her neck. She just has perspective and kids now. 

Also the app is freaking bare, feature wise. It doesn’t even have hashtags yet.

Anything Zuckerberg is actively bad for you.

I don’t really want to get into arguing over who has decoded the episode “correctly”. I don’t really think that it’s about extracting the hidden hard-coded meaning, I think it’s about constructing an interpretation of events and then drawing out which point might be made from that interpretation.

Do you think? How interesting. I rather think that the point of the final scene was to end on a cliffhanger: will she drink it or won’t she?

I don’t get the sense that he’s malicious, but he definitely seems opportunistic.

It seems to me that Rhaenyra is learning new and exciting (terrifying) things about power, and what it really is. She’s a quick learner and a quick thinker.

I felt for him. The actor did a good job there of showing how he doesn’t just jump on this as soon as she kisses him- there’s some real danger to it and he knows it.

No, they didn’t. I read the scene as Daemon not being able to become aroused, 1.) because on some level he knew what he was doing was wrong and 2.) because Rhaenyra began to both enjoy and take control of the encounter, which, as we saw in episode 1 (?) with the woman in the brothel, leaves him impotent.
