I think you can in Europe

 I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed. Can you ever just be whelmed?

Mare of Easttown apparently learned nothing from Big Little Lies and will grunt and strain and contort itself to shit out another season (based on some “incredible new idea” that Brad Inglesby just happened to have in his noggin right after HBO offered him an 8-figure development deal), instead of letting a great show…

You didn’t even watch ONE Olympic??? FOR SHAME.

A different Mike Richards was also Kramer on Seinfeld.

I actually commissioned a portrait of my parents to hang over the fireplace for this exact reason.
