I have an ex who is very much into dom/sub relationships as a dom. Like, his current girlfriend wears a (tasteful, you have to know what you are looking at) collar all the time unless his kids are visiting - when she wears an anklet. He did not realize the extent of this until WELL after we were over (I am distinctly…

Can we all just accept this is the millenial “Mr.  Hooper died” Thanksgiving episode?

One of the reasons Cindarella works so well in “Into the Woods” (the stage version) is because Cindarella has a moment of doubt early on - “What’s the good of being kind, if everyone is blind, always nice Cindarella, kind Cindarella, Nice, Good, Kind, Nice-”. And she is literally slapped out of it by a step-sister.…

Young Patrick Dempsey would like a word...

Echoing the praise of the show. Since this is an article without a critique because of no reference:

It’s a hard show as a New Yorker - there are a couple of moments that are too real in that aspect, although the most gutting moment is the Act 2 racial profiling of a character as narrated by the Captain. I wholeheartedly love the show, but it was really really tough for me to do live.  

Some flights maintain the old routs for shipping reasons, or because of particular weather patterns in one direction.  It’s why the original SAA flights from NY to South Africa stopped in Cape Verde on the way down but not the way back.

Most actors play multiple characters, typically at least one primary person in Gander and one lesser passenger, or flipped (you see it in the trailer whe the older man removes one accessory and they put up a paper mustache on a stick). The accents help make the character distinctions clearer. It works.  This a show…

The actual captain would come to shows in New York when in town and it is a ridiculous level of catharsis afterwards.  Jenn Colella is PHENOMENAL in that part and I am so excited they captured a staging of it. 

This is where Bean Dad mattered - you apologize, you grow, you do better. The way he defended his bud/cohost struck some people as maybe he didn’t really get it in the first place. It also becomes a question of judgement to some. Now, I think Jennings also suffered from the perception that he was some kind of squeaky…

And it probably would not have been a thing even EXCEPT for the defense of his podcast cohost.  It erased some of the ethos on the past apology, and they way he defended his bud did not come off well in real time.

People teach high school seniors too....

Her position was way more nuanced.  It (like her problematic Israel positions) are a bit more contextual to being orthodox more than anything else. 

Misogynoir is ALSO a real thing. No one just calls black women “Karen” ... because black women are already subject to the stereotype of the “angry black woman” AND traditionally are not perceived as have the social or economic power in Western society to “ask for a manager” in the same way. And the idea that it is…

Well, only if viewed singularly through a gendered lens...except the whole point of Karen is to highlight racial and class privilege and the entitled behavior that comes with it. It is literally the way white women benefit from aligning themselves with other oppressive powers ....

But is the salmon ladder a face or a heel?

Leonard Pierce already wrote about this exchange. 

Nothing is an vintage AHS Murder House as the AVC Reviewer slowly losing their mind in the reviews over the baffling choices made in the production and internal logic of Murder House.

You are just one weeping/masturbating Dylan McDermott away from fullly taking up the EVDW (and occasional Erik Adams) mantle.  You need…

I believe Red Sparrow is more the reference.  It actually does the spy school background and the basics of playing all sides things. It even has the ballet....

Which is why the “emerging contestant employing personal assistant” (because timing wise, the income generated from being the Bachelorette to pay an assistant would probably pay off later than the need for the assistant) or the gym seem probably reasonable, but the 2 person company of people who got to buy a house in…
