This show fully feels like the second half was written by AI during the writer’s strike. The first half of the show was flawed but at least moderately amusing. The second half was straight up bananas and not even in a fun way.

“Look, you’re not drafted into the Real Housewives. You either want to be on the show or not,”

While Cohen’s focus is more on the Housewives shows, there are numerous other Bravo shows where people have very little agency, especially those people trying to get a leg up in the arts by appearing on the shows. I think a union may not be the right vehicle to prevent bad treatment of the contestants on those shows,…

Last week, when Ann (Mindy Cohn) woke from her coma,

My only guess is that people thought it would be a White Lotus/Feud-The Swans type of mash-up.

A multi-millionaire executive producer of a lucrative reality tv show franchise is against unions!?

Fun fact- convertibles are only great if you have really short hair. Otherwise they’re a great way to get tangles and sunburn. They’re great in theory but they’re typically owned by someone who will mansplain to their passengers why “convertibles are great, actually.”

I normally love this kind of show. I quit after one episode it was that bad.

This show was like SNL’s The Californians was given a $100 million dollar budget but written as a 10-minute sketch.

The loss of physical buttons is such a sad thing. Blame capitalism and the cheapifying of car interiors, under the illusion of “luxury”. So much safer to quickly touch and click a physical button while driving, especially in a familiar car where it becomes muscle memory. What’s worse is when they do a mid cycle…

Pour one out for the coin holder. I get it, no one uses coins anymore, but I have fond memories of playing around with satisfying spring-loaded action of inserting/removing coins in my dad’s 1990 Mustang 5.0.

Drove his truck into town

I agree with you

It’s a cowardly position to claim as Gould did, that science and religion are compatible. To do so requires having one mindset in the laboratory and a contradictory mindset outside it. I’m also a scientist and think JBS Haldane put it best when he said the quote to the effect that if he trusts the equipment in his…

He’s just saying what all rational people already know, but bloggers need to frame it in the “Brian Cox Says a Thing” trend that drives so many clicks.

I am an atheist and am excited to learn that, apparently, it now qualifies me as an “edgelord” as well. I also got whiplash from the way this article seemed to keep pivoting back and forth on whether the author thought it was the worst take, a legit take, a weird take, etc. 

I think the subtitles aspect of it was part of why I’ve no urge to rush back, this was an opera that is in English but some of the male vocals were hard to understand and so I kept on looking at the display above the stage, but that led to my head bobbing up and down and it being quite uncomfortable.

I also found that w…

I’m sure it’s some combination of not understanding the words that are being sung and not preferring the operatic voice.

As a person with diagnosed ADHD, it’s a real pet peeve of mine that a complex neurological condition gets used as a cheap byword for kids not paying attention. For one thing, despite the name people with ADHD absolutely can sink a lot of time and focus into things - sometimes too much and to their detriment, if it’s…

I’m no nudist, but my first thought was “how are the people being naked going to make a communal space like a cruise ship any more gross than it already is?”
