The one reason I know I could never get on one of these dating shows (apart from my age, face, body, and general demeanor) is I have one (1) iota each of emotional intelligence and self-awareness.

Do we think they even had a script by the time they storyboarded this shot? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Pretty sure DoorDash will do FedEx pickups pretty cheaply. This seems like the kind of thing that would be worth it.

If it were possible for any real life person to be as submissive and breedable as Dr. Whitaker I would have no choice but to lock him up in myโ€ฆ I mean marry him.

You know who has my vote - the first candidate to pitch a federal mega-project. The only America I miss is the one where we spent a trillion dollars on something other than killing people (never existed).

Tops favourite thing is fucking your absolute brains out at some indeterminate future moment where Mercury is in Aquarius with Jupiter ascendant and $AAPL is at 400 and china acknowledges Taiwanโ€™s sovereignty and that is unfortunately definitely not right now.

One of my favourite little unique creative touches in Legion was that the episode recaps all start unexpectedly like โ€œostensibly onโ€ฆโ€, โ€œallegedly onโ€ฆโ€, โ€œtangentially onโ€ฆโ€ because you never quite know if itโ€™s all just in his head.

This episodeโ€™s title is pronounced โ€œasseaterโ€ and I will not be hearing otherwise.

Why do I only buy fruits that I have to waste 10k hours removing their tough skin or sucking out seed(s) before getting to the good part?? ๐Ÿ™„
