The only one that was weird for me on my own score was the mold one. I like blue cheese and things like it, but I did answer that I don't eat bread with mold on it. I have no idea if this is true but I remember reading as a kid that if mold is visible on the outside it's propagated through the loaf. I have no idea if that's correct, but it stuck with me. So it's not "eww mold" for me in that instance insomuch as it is my assumption is that the bread is just compromised at that point. But maybe I'm splitting hairs. Shocking, I know.

An ounce of gold is an ounce of gold.

I think the show's biggest flaw is the possibility that they're going one season for every book. There's just no fucking way they're ever going to finish adapting all the books with that approach, so you might as well not have TEoTW take the whole first season from jump.

I've seen some takes that The Mandalorian has been Filoni'd and the show is just him playing with action figures now. The tone has changed since the first season but I think something like Andor has shown that Mando might not have been as "serious" as it came off initially.

State sponsored rocket explosions.

It’s definitely more serious than previous seasons, but the scenes with Gene taking to the reporter and Hank / Cristobal’s TED talk were played for chuckles. Sally continues to just be a wildly depressing character. I don’t know that expecting “redemption” for anyone in this show is reasonable but her flaws are just so minor compared to literally everyone else’s that it still feels like the show is really punching down with her, especially when her call out of Gene not letting her know she was in danger with Barry are 100% true. Speaking of Gene, I suppose the theme of the first 2 episodes is “nobody learns anything.” He’s back to being a self aggrandizing blowhard. Sally is getting back on the saddle with him. Barry is looking for a way out to be with Sally. Fuchs keeps flip flopping. Interested to see where this all goes.

Pretty sure one of Elon’s rockets exploded today, who can say if he decided to blaze it to make another 4/20 joke.

I mean… yes, but it is also correct

"Separating the art from the artist," as I understand it, initially came about as a way to not stifle discussion about art when the person making it did lousy things. So you could have a discussion about the merits of The Shining or Kubrick's oeuvre without the discussing his treatment of Shelley Duvall. The notion of whether spending money on art / media you like that's made by someone problematic, alive, and who stands to profit from the purchase is a newer, different thing.

Just in case someone doesn't know what ended this poor woman's life.

Exhibit A.

Strong finale! I believe Favreau has said that he's written season 4, but honestly if this was the series finale I wouldn't be mad at all. Perhaps a little less in the way of intrigue than people were speculating but the show always delivers and this was no exception.

I knew that I liked Taylor Swift for a reason other than the fact that she is 5'11". Taylor Swift did due diligence on FTX, says lawyer who finally served Shaq, Tom Brady WWW.THEBLOCK.CO Taylor Swift did her homework in opting not to tout FTX, says the lawyer who's leading a class action suit against its promoters. She dodged a bullet. Queen shit.

It’s from Cunk on Earth, the woman doing the interview is playing a character.

Josh.

To be fair, that is some IRL Kang bullshit; he can go method.

I mean I'm on the record in this thread saying "put Majors in everything" which aged like wine. Cheap Carlo Rossi chablis left out on a humid day, but wine nevertheless. So Ed Norton or Josh Brolin. EDIT - fuck, 1 for 2. I need to stop.

Please refer to my edit

Don't even bother, cast Terrence Howard. EDIT - after some googling, Terrence Howard has apparently also been involved in domestic violence, so I guess never mind.

I see a lot of you are cowards when it comes to fish, as expected. Yet somehow I’m the one most likely to actually eat shit which I did not expect.
