I just started watching it for the first time; 4 episodes in and it’s wild how the pacing feels like something out of another era.

The best part of the whole experience was going to allergistsβ€”specialists, mind youβ€”who literally said β€œyeah there’s so much we don’t understand about allergies, here’s what we think is going on with you but your mileage may vary.” πŸ˜‚ πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

Ah, well… I’m sure RFK Jr. will fix it.

Interesting, no, I became allergic to avocado and latex at the same time ~10 years ago. Was told they were the same allergen reaction and that I could also react to bananas, chestnuts and kiwis (fruit, not people). No mention of ragweed and to this day I’ve only reacted to latex & avocado.

2.5. Allergic to avocado, will *not* eat black licorice, and I’ve historically avoided blue cheese but I’m willing to give it a shot again in the right context.

do not skip ahead to "cars" on the NIN/Numan vid! "Metal" is a great song! get hip to Gary Numan's whole catalog!

Incredible read… You may be unsurprised to learn that Google 1) is organizationally incompetent, and 2) does not understand art.

What it was like to be a bush at Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance The bushes on the field during the halftime show became a meme after the internet found out they were actually human performers.

so i talked to one of the bushes at the super bowl

I’m still dying to know WHY they hired people to be bushes instead of just having them on carts or something that could be rolled into position… I mean, if they’re not going to dance or anything, why have people in costume???

We only started really watching the game in the 4th quarter and it seems like that’s basically when it started.

I put meat, beans and sour cream on, then a layer of cheese, then put it under the broiler for a couple minutes. Then salsa/tomatoes & lettuce. Oh, Jen get avocado, too. I miss avocado! 😭

Enjoyed this thread! We traditionally make nachos for SB Sunday, whether we’re watching it or not (we’re not). Here’s my plateβ€”Jen has tofu instead of beef and doesn’t use lettuce.

I may have told you this story but my sister was born the day there was a 4.1 quake under Lake Erie that we felt in Detroit. It was super weird. So it’s not impossible around here! Love how unfazed the Japanese are about them, though. 4.1 barely registers.

The last bit is getting all the attention but his is a great interview from beginning to end. Watched it on my own and enjoyed it again because Jen had to see it. Love the way he talks about theater.

Twenty-Five Years: How’d That Happen? Twenty-five years. What the fuck? Time flies. It’s a cliche but it’s true. The older you get, the faster it goes. You blink and you’re old. I was still in my twenties when we star…
