Not sure if it's a bit of the subconscious connection to his innie slipping through or what, but I found it pretty interesting.

Something I noticed on my recent rewatch that I haven't heard anyone else talk about. Toward the end, when Mark is describing his wife while putting the pieces of her picture back together, he sounds like he's giving a wellness session. The pattern of speech he follows is almost exactly the same.

I need to listen to this. Thanks for the reminder about it!

It is the single best TV show of this decade so far, and it's more than worth it to pay a month or two of Apple TV+ for (or you could always watch it via other means). However you go about it, watch it. It's so good, and not nearly enough people have seen it.

This is your PSA that season 2 of Severance is coming out soon, and if you haven't seen the first season yet, you absolutely must.

Do you even know what figgy pudding is? It's basically fruit cake. This is a whole ass song designed to hold someone hostage at their doorstep until they bring out one of the most inedible dishes ever devised. Absolutely bonkers.

"I have three things I'd like to say today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition. Second, most of you don't give a shit. …

"It isn't racism—it's economics."

You don't have to actively hate people to be racist. The fact that you're willing to throw them under the bus for economic reasons is still racism.

Same goes for all the other marginalized folks you screwed over for Mammon. It's still bigotry.

Warren Says She Supports Sanders’s Bid to Block Israel Weapons Deal “The failure by the Biden administration to follow U.S. law and to suspend arms shipments is a grave mistake,” she said.

"The failure by the Biden administration to follow U.S. law and to suspend arms shipments is a grave mistake that undermines American credibility worldwide."

7 senators have now expressed support for the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval against sending billions of dollars of weapons to Israel.

Israel's war on Palestine has killed at least 43,922 & hurt 103,899 people (feared drastic undercounts).
