  1. One thing that really bothered me is no one, not even the dicky insurance guy, mentioned that it was Leah's fault the hack even happened.  If she's in charge the buck stops with her and she knew the network was vulnerable as she got her job by smugly hacking it.  They didn't talk at all about how the intrusion happened and what was done to harden things so there wasn't another attack immediately after she booted everything back up off her implausible recovered drive.  Getting everything back up means nothing if the door is still wide open.  I don't think she should have gotten in trouble for it, depending on how the breach happened, but she probably shouldn't have been treated like a hero either.

    This show is just becoming a huge cliché.

    Malika, you didn't "come out as poly". To come out, you have to be in, and you didn't even know much about polyamorous relatioships until you got interested in a guy who is poly and decided to try. You are experimenting.

    Thank you!  I was coming here to say the same thing.  And I don't think this is the first time she's said she came out as poly.  I mean I guess it isn't my place to question her truth or whatever, but as presented by the show, she didn't so much come out as arbitrarily decide on a whim.  I think it really does a disservice to those that are poly and those that have had to come out as anything to present it in the way the show has.

    Yes, I meant why he wanted to work with the group in the first place. 

     

    It may be a type of gaslighting or he's just narcissistic enough to believe that he's not a problem.  The biggest sexual harasser I've ever dealt with is now making the speaking rounds as an expert in lifting up women in tech.  He's got a woman doing the speaking tour with him, likely for the prestige that being a speaker at these big events gives -- there's literally no way she doesn't know how bad he is, it's openly talked about.

    It feels like a teenager's dream of being responsible and "doing the right thing", so I think it is a bit unrealistic. Noble, yes, but we didn't see any real conversations about the implications. It is all too fairytale to me. As for a tech company giving people health insurance, I doubt it. Tech companies is all about "we are family" but when it is about work it is individualism. And payments ae only for shareholders. But on TV things might be different.

     

    I've worked in tech in Los Angeles for 20 years.  The only time I've seen a company without benefits is when it was an entertainment company that had a tech team and was using a freelance/permalance model that is common in entertainment, but even in that case what Gael was doing probably would have been a staff position with benefits.  I've never seen a tech start-up, which is what Spekulate seems like, with no benefits.

    I'm 20 mins into the first episode.  ALL of these people are dumb.  I feel like all the contestants (including our female protagonists) were too dumb to get into the Bachelor franchise.  Will this keep me from watching?  Of course not

    I feel like Nakia(?) isn't as dumb as the other two women, but that's not a high bar.  IDK, I just have a special dislike for CJ.  She's on a show where ostensibly the premise is to not date fuckboys and she's like "you look like you'll ruin my life, I want to date you."   She also gets outraged at the dumbest things.  I think she's kind of a fuckgirl.

  6. It's been a while since I've watched a show like this.  I love that their jobs are all influencer, content creator, tiktoker, bit coin trader, brand ambassador, image consultant and the blonde has a  goal of "having a brand".  

    CJ is kind of dim isn't she?  The blonde kind of seems dumb too.  What was kind of hilarious to me watching that first mixer is they were all gravitating to the fuckboys because they had game and the non-fuckboys were kind of awkward and off-putting.

  7. I can't tell if it is me being less cranky or what, but the show seems less preachy the last few episodes and like the issues just fit in more naturally and people are more likable.  It may just be that they fixed Callie.

    I don't want to out her address but she isn't in the area of Hancock Park that has the big houses. It is in the area between La Brea and Highland and a bit south of Melrose - the descriptions of the neighborhood all are realtor speak and give it swankier associations. 

    Anyone familiar with Los Angeles real estate understands that it is considered relatively prime location at this point because it is not 50 miles out in the boonies :-) so comps of this area have lots of 3/2 homes because that was pretty much the kind of families the homes were originally built for.

    It is a neighborhood of homes that were built for people of relatively modest means - not as modest as the two bedroom bungalows that were built for the working class all around Los Angeles in the same era but still built for a middle class family. 

    The comps for comparable homes in her neighborhoods are above $2,000,000 at this point. It is my understanding that the attorney for the Trustee has subpoenaed records for her "landlord" because there might be financial irregularities involved in the lease. Who knows what they are - it could be that she isn't paying rent or it could be that rent is inflated as a way of laundering money. It is hard to determine rental comps but $10,000 seems high for the house.

     

     

    Interesting.  That area is nice, but definitely not as swanky, especially as you approach Melrose.  It's mostly just middle class families right there.  At least it was last I was over there.

    This year prices here in Southern CA are appreciating at 10% a month. Literally. I would suspect that home is at least double what it sold for in 2014. She best hope the seller doesn't decide to take advantage of the insane market and sell. Especially since he/she has already been dragged into Erika's legal mess.

    I'm in LA about 2 miles from Hancock Park.  I've tripled since 2010.  I didn't have time to look up stats farther back beyond 2016.  2016-present shows a pretty steady increase at around 10% per year, charts for LA do not show a sustained 10% per month increase that I see.  I was unable to pull comps for the area because there are not a lot of 3/2 houses in Hancock Park, most are larger (I think someone said her new place was 3/2).  I was also thinking probably double, but I do not have data to back that up.

    I can't picture Erika with Armie Hammer. I'm one of the people who doesn't think Erika is as sexual as her image is. Armie on the other hound sounds like a certified freak, seven days a week. 

    I also don't see her being able to be as submissive as he apparently likes 'em.  She'd demur to Tom and act like he was her dad, but I just can't see her going full on sub.

  10. I was expecting better.  It seems like with American Horror Story things are pretty good for at least a few episodes before things go off the rails and I stop watching.  So I figured that telling smaller stories would solve that problem.  But man, this was not good.  The other 2 were better, but not great.

    Also - FWIW - evidently Rinna has a huge mortgage. While there is no shame in having a mortgage, it is certainly strange that there is a mortgage on a home that Harry Hamlin bought more than 20 years ago. They must have taken out a sizable second mortgage or refinanced it at some point which means they are really essentially living beyond their means. Rinna and Harry need all the paychecks they can get.

    ETA Ron Richards added this tweet in terms of what the mortgage is on Rinna’s house. That is a huge mortgage and while I am sure the house is worth more than that, it means they need a lot of money each month just for living expenses. At that stage of life, they should have no mortgage at all. People I know who aren’t *rich* who have lived in their homes for 25 years or so don’t have any mortgage. Again no shame in having a mortgage but only that they owe so much on a house that was bought years ago means they were living behind their means and  don’t have the ability to retire on their assets. 

     

    We forgot the one of the biggest victims of the meanness by the others. LR has $3,450,000 recorded on a small home. It would have to sell for over 850 per square ft to clear it.

    I don't know that $3.5M is that huge of a mortgage for LA, but it is huge for where they should be in terms of how long they have owned the house.  It could be that they did a cash out refi to fund some other business deal etc. because interest rates have been so low.  IDK, if that makes sense for rich people though because I'm not rich.  However, $850/sqft is not a big deal.  You've got crap shack tear downs in bad areas going for over $750/sqft and nice places in marginal neighborhoods going for over $1000/sqft.  I don't even want to look at the prices in nice area.  This house in South LA sold 3 days ago for $1008/sqft.  It is 3 doors away from a homeless encampment with plywood shacks and a problematic pot shop that has had multiple stabbings over the last few months, and there's currently a random mentally ill naked guy that keeps popping up right there too.

    Maybe, just maybe, there will be some reform.

     

    If I read this correctly, attorneys are in a wild west scenario.  They can do just about anything they want without impunity. Scary stuff for all the rest of us.

     

    Having interacted with the CA State Bar, I'm not shocked, but I will be shook if we actually see meaningful reforms.

    I laughed when the sister said she never thought she'd see Nicky again. I don't know why, I just did. Like there is a 98% chance that Nicky will run off again to find herself, especially if this makes it to season 3. Girl, you were always gonna see her again.
     

    I don't want it to be true, but probably when Henry tragically dies.

    I am not saying that bankruptcy fraud is victimless but it truly doesn't compare with what Tom (and Erika) were doing. 

    It could be argued that Erika and Tom are now probably committing bankruptcy fraud on top of all the embezzling to keep their ill-gotten money and goods and far from being victimless, it is revictimizing those they've already wronged.

    Isn't he la sheriff? The sheriff's in la are currently being seriously looked at. They have multiple gangs in the sheriffs and the chief, sheriff villaneuva, is supposedly tatted up with all of them. Makes me wonder if her son is a complete criminal like her and tom. 

    I believe he's LAPD, not LASD.  LAPD has problems, but it is nothing like LASD.  Most of the officer involved shootings and really egregious things that happen in the LA metro area are LASD.  However, it does appear that Erika's son was involved in an officer involved shooting a few years back and there are some public records requests involving him, but I don't have time to dig.  A lot of people mix up LAPD and LASD -- it really drives me nuts when people are protesting LAPD and all the facts they are spouting are LASD.  It's like you do all the research and bring receipts, make sure they are for the right org.  I'm currently fighting with LAPD regarding policy and will be digging into all kinds of back info and pulling data for that, maybe I can dig into Tommy while I'm at it.

  15. Even knowing this switched to Wednesday I was confused and thought it was on tonight.  There's an 85% chance I'll forget about watching it between now and Wed.

  16. I forgot I watch this show again and was reminded by the joyous news of no more Lizzie. 

    I'm only to the first commercial of this episode and have rolled my eyes and told Liz to fuck off once and now I'm laughing hysterically at the stupid cell in the Post Office being the safest place to keep Liz.  How many times has that thing been breached?  The Post Office is about as secure as a firewall set up by my mom.  Actually, the Post Office might not be the problem, it's put at a major disadvantage by the idiots working there.

    And we don't even get to the next commercial before there's a breach.  Surprise, surprise.  I do like that they didn't fuck around with trying to open the cell and just lifted the whole thing out the roof.  I'd like to think this is Red, it has a certain panache.   I'm sure no one is shocked that Aram broke and helped Liz make a call.  I am surprised that she didn't appear to be playing him and it didn't bite him in the ass, but there's still plenty of show left.

    "Extracting Keen from the Post Office took planning, skill, and precision."  Sure, you run the least secret, most breached, black site in the world, but keep telling yourself that Harold.  I've been to "underground" sushi joints that are harder to find and get into than the Post Office.  

    Of course Liz is fucking with Red's plans.  I'd like to assume that at least Dembe, if not Red, planned on Liz fucking shit up and they actually wanted it to go down that way to lull Godwin into a false sense of security.  Put in 2 trackers, let Liz hear about 1, so the other is still there when Liz inevitably helps Godwin remove the decoy.  

    So the task force is finally being disbanded, but not because of incompetence.  I am guessing it won't actually happen.

    Red needs to up his game if he really didn't count on Lizzie fucking up his plans.  Not that it mattered in the end.
