I predict the scene where Roman and Gerri are boning in the CEO office and Logan walks in.

I’m looking forward to watching this, and I’m hopeful that the simplistic narrative that the current crisis is the fault of the Sacklers (who are, no doubt, terrible), instead of the response to the Sacklers’ terribleness, which is the main culprit.

Don't forget his breakout in A Serious Man.

Michael Stuhlbarg is a fantastic actor, with his Arnold Rothstein in Boardwalk Empire an instantly iconic figure holding his own easily with the instantly magnetic Steve Buscemi, followed by other great roles in the likes of Fargo, Arrival, and The Shape of Water. No idea what happened here.

Amazes me every day that not one of the family members of the hundreds of thousands of dead have shown up at a CEO’s house for a chat or an assault

In other moments in time, I think people would be quite obsessed with Phillipa Soo’s performance. So compactly and efficiently captures both the cutthroat sociopathy and irresistible charisma of a high level marketer of that era. Someone you know is bad news but still find utterly fascinating and a little enchanting. …

A Very Pleasant Series of Events, With no Unnecessary Complications, starring Kaitlyn Dever. The new smash hit on Netlfix.

Not to be confused with the documentary on male genital hygiene, Soapdick.

Convicted murder Robert Durst’s lawyers didn’t contract COVID-19, Robert Durst did. Try this for a more clear headline: Lawyers for convicted murderer Robert Durst said he contracted COVID-19 and is currently on a ventilator.

The main protagonist was laid off from his job because the bosses (capitalists) mismanaged the company and had to cut costs (capitalism).

It’s not about getting it or not getting it. Cancelled or not cancelled. Funny or not funny. It’s about having the freedom to say what you want. You may not like what someone has to say and more power to you. Just because you don’t like doesn’t mean it should go away or even worse you should try to erase it.

Her plastic surgeon is...not great.

Insane that people want to pretend that Jewish women’s whiteness erases the fact that they are often excluded from conventional white beauty standards. Isn’t there a thing where many Jewish teenagers get a nose job to fit in like  Asian teenagers who get eyelid surgery? These reactions are ridiculous. Both articles…

I agree. I also think it’s really unfair to put the onus on these actresses to turn down roles (when it’s not like there are that many good roles for WOC, even light skinned ones) and insist that a darker-skinned woman be cast because that would just lead to that actress being categorised as ‘difficult’ and…

Agreed with the main point here, but also want to rep my fellow biracial people, and say that being accused of not being “Asian, Black, Latinx, Indigenous, etc.” enough is really triggering and something we have to navigate endlessly. I find it exhausting to both receive racist treatment and also be told I’m not fully…

Here are some more recent examples:

What human one? The only Tom Brady I’m aware of is a fancy dog:

One space after a period comes from the newspaper industry. Two spaces would be wasted space and space is money.

Great! One more excuse to divide people up. Way to go!

One of the oddly unremarked things about Nobody is that Bob Odenkirk does go off on a rampage because he more or less misses killing people and wants to get back into it. The “humiliated family man” angle is a head fake that pretty quickly gets dropped.
