I’m rewatching Malcolm in the Middle right now - I’m with sarahmas, I don’t think the show gets nearly enough credit for how good it is - and while Jane Kaczmarek is absolutely fantastic in her own right, Cranston is just soooo good as Hal. There’s a whole *person* there.

That is one of the best shows of this century and I will die on this hill. It serves on so many levels. My 10yo likes it as much as my husband and I do.

his failure to follow “competition production protocols”—whatever that means!

And let us all say Amen.
If I might add one variant, sans viande, something a roommate made me: Butter and brie. A few of us went on a picnic to a local cemetery, very old, lots of wonderful headstones. Under the trees, we all read aloud from some romance novel we picked up. The sandwiches were so very decadent. All…

Well dang, I’ve been using Ublock for years and didn’t know about several of these. Nice.

I need more Gene Genie in my life. That armed bastard.
