There’s a fairly strong argument to be made that excessive devotion to the accumulation of material goods is an enormous barrier to developing one’s spiritual side.

This could have been a very different story

I would still be convinced Hannah’s comment was a parody if she’d only used paragraph breaks.

Frankly, it’s disturbing to us that press outlets could make the incredibly irresponsible leap from “celebrity sex tape,” which is the cultural trope this project explicitly references, to “revenge porn,”

She was reporting on it, dumbass. I seriously doubt she wanted to watch them have sex, she was trying to confirm that it existed.

It’s been a few years since I watched it, but I was always impressed with the chemistry of the cast. The show does a good job of capturing workplace dynamics.

I’m imagining the first time he tried that line he was just trolling and he got such a high off of it when they went with it, the line is probably heroin for him by now.

That was the line where I had to stop, laugh, shake my head, say “no no no” and wish I had the money to fly to NY and stand outside these meetings and stage interventions.

AJ Daulerio has never been in charge of Jezebel.

But they had the patina of class and intelligence so you could talk about your addiction to the soap opera without sounding like a lonely shut-in talking about your “stories.”

Look, I’ll respond to you so your spirited defense of the lentil is more likely to be seen, but I simply can’t star “famine food” in a world of bean plenty.

Thinking about it, I do enjoy a black bean salsa, but I rarely eat out, none of my friends every make it, nor do I. Maybe I’ll do that this summer when the tomato crop hits.

“Indian spiced lentils” would be on the menu in my private hell. Refried black beans aren’t bad, but I judge a legume first by how enjoyable it is with minimal treatment and spicing. Garbanzo beans, you open that can, rinse em off and toss em on a salad - delicious.

Dahlia Lithwick did a great piece on Cruz after he dropped out. She’d debated against him in college and has seen him argue at the Supreme Court. She runs through his assorted flaws mercilessly, but points out that he was really good in front of the Supremes. It didn’t make me feel sorry for him at all, but it was an…

I don’t get the black bean love, at all, but I won’t argue with you because you had the sense to put Cannellini ahead of black beans.

I gave up at some point in the last season, it was just painful to watch. The show constantly flirted with being horrible, but the actors seemed to be having so much fun with it, they carried it through. The last season had more of a manic vibe. Like the party had gone on way too long and only chemicals were keeping…

Ooooh. Good point. I’d forgotten that.

It’s true the dogs aren’t to blame. But in terms of sending a message to other miscreants, if you can’t get them to respect the need to protect Australia’s native species you can at least get them to respect the need to protect their own beloved dogs from same native species.

His comment makes me wish the Australian authorities had fed his fucking dog(s?) to some of that creepy Aussie wildlife.

I used to love CBS programming before the (3rd!) digital converter for my very old but still-perfectly-functional-other-than-the-digital-issue tv crapped out and I went several years without broadcast television. I always laugh at people who think NCIS is a shit show. It takes a lot more discipline and talent to…
