I love that Rich’s fave Tik Tok was about himself. Shine on, you crazy diamond!

To be fair, Susan exclusively covers the reproductive rights beat. 

On Friends there was an episode dedicated to the fact that Monica had “inherited” her grandmother’s rent-controlled apartment and she was in danger of being outed by an angry neighbour (or was it the super? I can’t remember). Chandler was a corporate dude (even if the joke was that no one really knew what he did) and…

I gave up on GOT after the second season. 

I admittedly know little about Disney shows myself, but NHIE seems much sharper, darker, and more explicit than anything you’d get from Disney. Devi’s character is allowed to go places that teenage girls aren’t usually allowed to go (the rage! the horniness! the unapologetic ambition!) and the writing (goofily)…

Did you actually watch it? It was great. Signed, a late Gen Xer from Canada who never watched Nickelodeon (or its Canadian equivalent — sort of — YTV) let alone the Disney Channel. I guess it depends on how much you like Kaling, but it was really funny, well-paced, and well-acted. 

Yes, I am aware. They do offer some measure of protection for yourself, but it’s very small. N95s more so than surgical masks, but it’s still more for other people than yourself. 

I dunno, I’ve never seen a cloth mask sold without a little fine print that it’s not for protective use. I have a few myself, but I don’t use them anymore. 

Yeah, honestly, they are just so hard to get ahold of. Distancing is my best option right now. I’m more or less back to ordering everything online (local as much as possible, but I’m not perfect) and wearing masks for appointments etc. I ran a few errands yesterday and even though the stores were mostly empty I…

Give that woman a raise! (Haha, as if the airlines would use any of their bailout money to treat workers better.)

Exactly! My spouse is a stickler for using the ones from the medical supply store (reasonable but not even close to as cheap), but to my uneducated eye, there is no difference.

I recently received a newsletter from a local pediatrican (I’m in Toronto) that said those cloth masks are practically useless and people need to stock up on surgical ones (unrealistic that most people would have access to N95s). My understanding is it’s better to reuse a surgical mask than use a cloth one.

Hey now. Raising a toddler during a pandemic = (at least for me) being a little out of the pop culture loop. 

Thanks! Yeah, I had her in my early forties and my eldest brother is almost a decade older than me. 

Fair. My kid is going to have 70something aunts and uncles when she’s 20…but I had her late. 

I thought masks were more about protecting the people around you than yourself. 

Wait, Marisa Tomei is Aunt May? Isn’t Aunt May like a septuagenarian or something?? Jesus.   

As awful as this sounds, you’re making it sound better than I thought it would be after watching those godawful movies. Actually addressing that Carrie is kind of uptight about sex? That alone is progress for this show.

Late Gen X here. I met my spouse/father of my child online back when OkCupid was a thing (is it still?). I had a very active social life, but felt like I’d exhausted dating opportunities within my circle. Zero regrets.

Isn’t Jess King gay? I thought that was what that comment meant.
