Is it just me, or is this show’s version of Lenny Bruce entirely too mild mannered to be convincing? I know this is an Amy Sherman-Palladino show and all, but that was my first clue the protagonist and her story were pure historical fiction as opposed to based on an actual comedian or some sort of composite. 

Reality check: It’s going to kill plenty of young, poor people, too.

I am a “privileged white American” from a liberal family. I’m currently unemployed, and have been for four months. I dropped out of my English Ph.D. program when it became clear that the changes the Trump administration were making to both healthcare and taxes would make my previous career plans as an aspiring…

I sort of suspect the dealer’s going to pop up again at some point. We sure spent a lot of time learning about him (he’s sexually predatory, goes in for twinks, etc.) to have the character just disappear. I mean, I guess it could just be part of the episode’s larger “movies” motif since Elliot asked his dad to take…

As an actual (former) English professor who still knows many in the profession, I’m calling BS on this. Unless you went to one of those for-profit universities where the *instructors* (important distinction) are only required to have taken six or more credits in the subject they teach.

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about the drug buying scene as another obvious homage to Pulp Fiction (camera angles, dialogue, etc.)

“Easter egg hatched into an awfully allegorical chicken” is great. It really captures the lack of subtlety in so many different shows’ deployment of symbolic imagery.

That applies to criminal charges. Most state employment laws allow companies to fire whomever they want for no reason whatsoever. Most organizations are well aware that failing to act on serious accusations made against an employee by multiple coworkers are opening themselves up to lawsuits.

They don’t really blend in with my skin tone anyway, so yes, I wear them primarily at night. But I’m way too poor and use them way too often to be able to spend $5+ on two dozen pieces the size of a hole punch! My comment was as much for random readers looking for skin tips as for you personally—I don’t think most…

So, I posted this on someone else’s comment but am not sure if I will be ungreyed—just so you know, the pimple patches everyone is recommending are made out of the same material as the blister band aids, but you get a lot less product for a lot more money. I don’t know this for sure, but based on the timeline I…

The pimple stickers are the same thing as the hydrocolloid dressings. You can cover a lot more surface area for a lot less money by buying blister band aids, which are the same material, and cutting off pieces as necessary.

Thank God the dollar is backed by a central authority as stable, rational, and reliable as the current United States government.

As a 30-year-old with similar struggles (something like eight rounds of Accutane starting in middle school—hooray!), I’ve been really impressed with the results of Biologique Recharche, an extremely fucking expensive French product I first saw on this site. Then again, it hasn’t really prevented my deeper, more…

Yours is the first other I’ve heard of.

OH MY GOD! I HAVE A DITA TOO (HENCE MY USER NAME).

More like propofol. Wake me up when it’s 2021 (assuming the world still exists by then).

Well, goddamn it. Now I’m fervently hoping for a quantum reset right alongside Angela. Whatever world Elliot & co. are in, it’s a lot darker without Trenton and Mobley in it.

Let’s just hope Sean’s encore doesn’t last as long as Jimmy-Steve’s. I could see them wrapping up this storyline in one or two episodes.
