Same camp. Usually try to avoid even knowing this, but in this case, boy, I really hope it's helping.

I honestly think this is one of the funniest and most well-written comedic moments in any rom-com. And, of course, criminally underrated.

As a teen, I rented that movie over and over again to show people and it was always a giant hit. I remember my brother and I had to pause it for minutes the first time we watched it because the line "I swallowed my gum" hit us so hard we couldn't recover and had to stop the movie to laugh.

She really doesn't frame herself as a journalist in any way that isn't faceous. Her platform is mostly stories about working in retail, and then sometimes she tells a longer personal story about, like, a bad landlord. She's not an example of the thing people are upset about.

The cops didn't seem to get it. Some cases were solely over the phone, and they didn't seem to appreciate the impact of sleep deprivation and creating this traumatic narrative for people who are heavily engaged with childbirth. The sexual element was there, but not in a way they recognized.

I've listened to both and the Something Was Wrong podcast really captures the story.

Notably, when she was first sentenced, the judge, reluctantly accepting the plea, made it clear he thought they were creating circumstances in which she'd reoffend, and he was right.

This happened in a town I'm very familiar with, and even supported a birth in (not a doula; just a friend) so I've followed it really closely. The "blowing up on Tiktok" is a huge factor in their actually getting the police to act. Our justice system has mostly seemed a bit baffled by it.

I should add -- I remember it because it's a great story and I also laughed really hard at the dogs, particularly after the portion that pointed out the key element indicated by the arms.

I vividly remember this story from a blog post you wrote about leaving TWOP (and possibly NYC?) an unimaginable number of years ago.

Heh. I wonder if we have the same employer because 100% this. Right now the policy is worse than 2019.

I want Tara to know that, while listening to her talk about falling in Toronto, I slipped on a pile of rain-soaked, abandoned protest flyers right by Gould and Yonge. It felt like she was there in spirit.

What's the draw without, at minimum, the daily recaps? I truly don't get it.

This is the sort of season where, if 75% of them just do one awesome thing to rid me of a person in the other 25%, I'd start rooting for them. If Lauren evicts Vince, I'd be fine with her as a winner.

It always reminds me of Chuck Klosterman writing about the Tori Paradox on Saved By the Bell -- the audience could not accept the idea that Tori was around whenever Kelly and Jesse weren't on a show where a teenager could freeze time and another had a robot butler.

This is the most true thing, I think. There is no space to have any reaction if you aren't on their side. It will all be treated as a sign of malice and will be presented as a reason to attack.

Taran has been saying they’d ruin the season here for weeks and I’m still stunned at how insanely bad this went.

This seems sound. Riley's most immediate allies were the final two. And her biggest problem was that she tried to work with a guy whose mother was both in the house and a titan of social strategy games.

When I first saw it, it was certainly a criticism but a of performative sort of behaviour around having a wife. Over time, it devolved into being a guy who seems to really like and centre his wife. But then some key "wife guys" fell from grace in a big way.

This is lovely. You also made me realize something. A lot of romances written by men kill off one of the lovers. I only just realized that Hornby doesn't generally use that trope even though he often centres a romantic relationship in his novels. Cheers to Dee.

They are FINALLY up on the feed. Two weeks worth of episodes. Hopefully, they've fixed this,s and you won't have to keep hearing about it.
