It hurts more in this one because for the most part I really like what they did with Jill. They avoided a lot of tropes of the “childhood girlfriend,” and “ice queen.” Her damage is understandable, and she makes some interesting points about the concept of blame and redemption. She just doesn’t get nearly enough…

Charter school = religious school =racist school = sexist school. These charter schools were just created to erode public education and to groom innocent children with religious indoctrination straight out of the Dark Ages. All at public expense.

Anyway, if I were a Netflix exec I’d be coming up will all sorts of ideas on their behalf to try to salvage this fiasco.

100%. How many people are thinking: oh I’m interested what a C-list actress spouse of a former junior member of another country’s royal family thinks about this topic!

Yeah for 12 podcasts. I know people who did that many podcasts just for the shit of it.

$20 million IIRC. And they got HALF of $100 upfront from Netflix? Harry and Meghan, tell us again how hard your separation from the Royal Family has been??

Huh. There are definitely Final Fantasy games where some characters are paper-thin but I’ve never heard that complaint lodged at the entire FFVIII cast before. Wild!

I don’t know what ages their characters are supposed to be, but Laura Benanti is 43 and Matthew Broderick is 61 so maybe the parents are just going with what they know?

yeah but I suspect people screaming about statutory is just part of your everyday life

Honestly, it’s a great game.

I just miss having a party. And everything that comes with that. Party banter, managing equipment, planning out how a fight will go beyond ‘main guy swings sword.’

I miss thinking ‘I wonder if they’ll join my party!’ instead of ‘I wonder if they’ll die to motivate clive.’

I miss the sense of…

Kenji Lopez-Alt actually did a comparison study of different techniques for making sun tea and was able to show that:

I’d like you to point out what I said that you’re describing as “confidently speaking on what’s going on here”.

Okay, then what is it exactly you want here if it’s not for them to have associate with this man until the evidence reaches some level that you deem acceptable? What they have done to him is stop associating with him personally and professionally, which is more or less all that’s within their power to do. The only…

You sound like a rapist that got away with it. 

It’s really easy to brew tea in the fridge, so why even take a chance? Bacteria grows lots of places that have no sugar added (if you store your tea in a damp or humid area, stuff’s gonna grow on it, for sure). The formula isn’t sugar+water, it’s organics+water

Life finds a way.

WHAT. THE FUCK?!?

I mean, I saw the routine and laughed at this bit, so I guess I was “hooked,” but the bit wasn’t framed as “here’s a humbling experience that helped me learn and become a better person” so much as “here’s a colossally stupid and fucked up thing I did. Full stop.” He’s a stand up, and talking about (an admittedly…

Just stop harassing people, man

I found the ending of that show oddly uplifting. Mulaney saying he’d gone through so much shit that it had essentially cured him of caring what other people think of him. Or, as he memorably puts it, “You’ll cancel John Mulaney? I’ll kill him!”

when I’m talking about hot dogs, I feel infinite.
