A list of objects my toddler has produced from the other room while walking back and forth and unceremoniously handed to me:
3 clean (we hope) diapers
2 decorative pumpkins
A cat toy
A cell phone
3 duplo blocks
A water bottle
A sippy cup
Several loose kleenex
@ashwan These are very kind takes. I've also heard friends of mine eviscerating it and it makes me sad. Don't get me wrong! It had low points. I just..... Can't get over John Cho's performance. He needed to be given more time with this character. He was INCREDIBLE.
@ashwan Yeah it was really great. For totally different reasons and in totally different ways than the anime. But i guess fans of the original made enough pissy noises to spoon Netflix.
@ashwan The longer answer is that i see the first season of a miniseries as laying groundwork. I expected it to grow into itself in subsequent seasons. But they got off to a rip roaring start. And John Cho is picking scenery out of his goddamn teeth. PHENOMENAL performance. Aghhh I'm sad
John Oliver is curled up in a blanket, hunched over, eating potato chips. We pan past him to see a giant "2020" sign. He unceremoniously lights a match and tosses it. It just misses the fuse, fizzles out. He doesn't react, goes back to eating potato chips. @LastWeekTonight
Why is "the chosen one" always a teenager? We're really gonna put the fate of the universe on someone with an undeveloped prefrontal cortex? Give me a story with a chosen one who is a 42 year old mom that has already seen some shit and is totally out of fucks to give
@inkhat I approve and would like to request more badass & clever C-section jokes, metaphors, boasts, etc to use in conversation. I feel like women who gave vag birth get all the good brags.
My dentist’s first question to me, knowing I’m an epidemiologist, was “when will this all be over”. Was super unsatisfying for us both for me to have to answer, “whenever we want, if the government would just take concerted & decisive action”
When I started a $70k minimum wage for my company in 2015, Rush Limbaugh said: "I hope this company is a case study in MBA programs on how socialism does not work, because it's gonna fail"
Since then our company tripled & we're a successful case study at Harvard Business School.
@RebbeSMZ My hubby is deeply dedicated to fostering a Jewish home with me, and he understands the Jewish worldview on levels I didn't think possible. Zero interest in converting, and I celebrate that. I don't even really think of us as a mixed family anymore, but I know some people would.
@inkhat Maybe I could use it to scope out vacation spots and make my decisions.
But also aren't these just metaphors for the internet? I have 100% used Google maps to walk around downtown Tokyo from my couch, for funsies.
