Also Due North: “I hate slavery!!!”

The real winner of last night’s episode was the creepy old man who got a nice Issa-scented blanket.

Tbh it was good but I expected more from it. I liked it that they teased a possible Issa pregnancy talking about Kelli’s period and Tiffany’s own pregnancy but it didn’t happen. It would’ve been such lazy storytelling.

It exists!

Man this post-mortem gave me alllll the feelings last night. I’m one year out of a 4 1/2 year relationship, that was supposed to end in a wedding September of last year. A lot of times it feels dumb to still feel so in the weeds with it, and to still feel love for someone who brutalized me so much. It sort of was…

I liked that Due North show and how into it everyone was

The dog is in scenes all over season one - I just started season two. Think about when Issa was staying at Molly’s and sitting on her couch waiting for her to come home - I think the dog is a French Bulldog, maybe? Named Flavor Flav? And it wears a clock around its neck. What, just me?

Napping in the other room half the time, obviously.

I went to see the first one with a friend. We went to Applebee’s for drinks at 10am beforehand. It was the most hilarious movie I’ve ever seen. Two thumbs up.

Ooh ooh you forgot to mention The parents joke about their fetus liking sex! Excuse me while I vomit.

I never thought much of Robert Pattinson until he called out his character for abusive, controlling behavior.

Any relationship that begins with a sparkle vampire breaking into a teenage girl’s bedroom to watch her sleep is, shockingly, not going to get any LESS gross over time.

Spoilers! The relationship continues to be super abusive, and the lead characters continue to be awful. Now with a baby at the end, to reinforce a bit of heterosexual domesticity and balance out all that naughty hardcore XXX spanking.

Age limits won’t work. Ross Douthat, Tucker Carlson, Rick Santorum, and Ted Cruz are a few GOP guys who have espoused the opinions of 80 year old men when they were in their 20s.

My dad used to pull the “ladylike” crap on me. Telling him that I learned how to curse, etc, from him never worked, it was only after I sharply retorted, “Since I am a lady, my behavior is, by its very nature, ladylike,” coupled with the death stare that I inherited from his mother, that he finally stopped.

To be fair, it IS standard to refer to people on the congress floor as “the gentleman from Iowa” or “the lady from Tennessee,” it’s just part of the decorum of the chamber. But, that is definitely not how he was using it. He was using it as “young lady, you better go get those sandwiches ready while the real men do…

I wish there was an age restriction or term limits or something that got these old fucks out of the government faster. We need fresh minds. We need diversity. We don’t need old white men getting older but still in complete and total control of a world that is changing far faster than they can possibly keep up with.

Can you imagine the explosion of outrage had Jayapal called that idiot “old man”? She would have received whatever the Congressional equivalent of tarring and feathering is. Either that or they’d be calling for a witch burning.

Chewing Gum is so good. As well as being a rare non-mean-spirited representation of working-class people, it’s actually funny, unlike a lot of recent comedy shows out of the US. I remember some noises being made recently about US networks planning to invest more in shows about (and by?) working-class people, so…
