I get that, but looking like you are going to a cocktail party in a sleeveless dress with plunging neckline? Seems like that would influence the jury the wrong way.

I have very bad eyesight, and love the bigger lenses as there is less fuzzy peripheral area to bug me. I’ve lived through almost every eyeglass trend, and rather like this one. It’s also an improvement on the big 1980s styles that sat low on the face and hit my cheeks whenever I smiled. 

Why not just offer Smollett a no-jail-time plea deal?

Although a pair of chain-smoking twin sisters silently following her around may explain that voice. 

I was wondering the same. The way they are described above as underweight and pale with dark circles under their eyes - do they look that way in the videos? And, yeah, I don’t want to look either. 

and they stitched up his wound themselves?? I’m sorry, but do people really do this???

I also was confused when she said to the guy “oh I’m not looking at you because I think you’re a terrorist” and he (fortunately) laughed it off. But... why was she staring at him? I kept waiting for her to say “didn’t we meet at X?” or “You look so much like my daughter’s gym teacher” or “I think I own that exact same…

Agree - the whole time they’re sitting on the bed reading short bits from the play (if those are scenes, as they said, they are the shortest scenes in history), I was yelling “what about all those weird kids hanging out alone in your house unsupervised???”

Just saw “Can You Ever Forgive Me” and am pretty sure Lee Israel would be proud of you.

Hopefully the fact that victims seem willing to testify (as opposed to his 2008 trial) will make the difference. 

Yes, although when it’s two celebrity neighbors of the same gender it is (usually) without the need to defend it as just a friendship.

I assume the series is taking place after the events of the movie? 

Abbi suddenly has the desire to talk to her neighbors when she learns that plumping issues mean that no one can really flush anything anymore.

Well, she’s no longer with Fred Armisen, so that’s a plus. 

You know what also shows a lot of confidence? Standing up for yourself and saying “no.”

A few years ago I was on the subway heading down to South Ferry around mid-morning. We pulled into a station and the doors opened and none of the people on the platform came into the car, which if you know the NYC subway, is unusual. I was in my commuter cocoon, a podcast in my earbuds and solitaire game on my phone,…

Yup, one of my first times on the NYC subway, late 80s. I was with a group of co-workers who’d taken the train from Albany and switched to the subway at Grand Central to make our way to Macy’s Herald Square. It was rush hour and crowded. (“It’s like Grand Central around here!” more than one of us said. Is that still a…

the PR damage of keeping him on would be more expensive

To me the difference is that he shared it in the context of “I did something deplorable and am ashamed of it now” as opposed to being confronted with something and denying it until unable to any longer.

Wondering about how that works - does the manager or agent* or wedding planner reach out to potential sponsors to get a cut of the proceeds? If a celeb spends too much time on bookings.com, instead of annoyng ads following her around social media for weeks, does she get a straight-up phone call from a company exec…
