I have made peace with having zero standards about what I'm writing and tell myself beforehand that whatever I make will be absolute shit and that that's ok. That's become a mantra for me, and that gives me permission to be awful. But awful something is better than good nothing.

omg. you're too sweet, but let's be real: K is the primary taste-maker in our household :D (Although I think we legitimately came to this one together.) I hope you enjoy it as much as we did and that our status as taste-makers of your heart isn't sullied by this recommendation!

K and I will gift you a subscription if you want to watch it. This is how much we believe in this show to BRIGHTEN DAYS.

gahhh. I know you literally spell out the services you have here, but the best TV show I watched last year was Platonic on whatever the Apple thing is called and it perfectly fits your needs. It's kind of a perfect TV show. Funny, loveable, low-stakes. Chemistry b/w all characters is top-tier.

BINGO. It is genuinely bizarre for him to make a distinction like this, and I can't tell if *he thought* there was a difference, or if he's saying this so he can keep his post? (Especially since the transgression in question is about transgressing a boundary of trust with a young person!)

Seattle Freeze in a nutshell.

Stop talking, go ice those arms.

One for all-time. Literally. The game lasted for all-time.

Currently debating whether the Baja Men repeat the question "Who? Who? Who? Who?" or whether the dogs are answering, "Woo[f]! Woo[f]! Woo[f]! Woo[f]!"

So, you know, tackling the important subjects.

Brave Bañana!!!

100% here for this take.

Hey, the '24 White Sox were a history-making team, Will!

On a related note, I was thinking earlier this week that I can't believe we don't have a massive, 5 part docuseries on Stevie's run between MOMM and SITKOL. The quantity and quality and depth of that music is just unprecedented.

This is what I don't understand—this has been Schumer's argument, but it seems like Trump et al. have been perfectly willing to gut everything with the lights on, so that argument doesn't feel like it holds water?

This, and, I think many of us *do* feel beyond anger and fear, and have for basically 9 years. But like, that isn't doing anything, and no one is leading the masses in a coordinated, opposing way. And that just adds to the chaos!

I know this doesn't really make any sense, but this felt like the first big loss to Trump 2.0.

It's ok Pat—you'll still be invited to the White House.

Me seeing the Walton Goggins GoDaddy commercial.

Same folks celebrating the anniversaries of concentration camps being liberated unironically celebrating ICE agents detaining human beings in their towns.

I can't watch this MAGA-coded Lesser Ephron and Boston Rob Traitors. Over these chodes.

Obviously to your second point: Yes. As to Jamelle/BR: Hard disagree, based on what feels like narrow interpretation of what makes a movie "good." Like, if the cinematography is the point of the film, and it succeeds, and the other components serve that, can't that be a "good film"?

Of course Mocha Joe is gonna voice his issues.

It's REAL good, Dee....

lol, i will confess that after i wrote that, i went to Levi's website and was looking at the 501s and then was like, "wait, why are *these* 501s $60, but *these* 501s are $100?" and then I realized the "premium" distinction and honestly, that's so weird and dumb and disappointing.

somehow exceeded my expectations.

materially? stylistically? all of the above?

my favorite pair of jeans were a pair of 501s I bought when I started grad school. They were casual, flattering, felt good, and the no-zip full-button fly is 🔥🔥🔥. but maybe that's just me?

Good Lord this Etsy commercial with the ornament of the family's dog makes me weepy every. damn. time.
