Scout Finch

There's this home composting unit called Lumi that some of the podcasters I watch on YT promote during their shows and when I hear the name my first thought is that it's referring to Lume. You'd think the company would come up with another name that doesn't sound exactly the same as the one that does cringe-worthy, repulsive ads.

I've just begun seeing these now when I'm watching something streaming that has ads. The parking thing I can sort of excuse but the "Of course you know where we're going. That's so you" both annoys and irritates. Uh, doesn't everyone have a specific destination they're heading to that they know how to get to and/or more often than not, don't have to rely on a navigation system?

"CAS IS GAY" trending on Twitter because...

Unfortunately, I also the location here in Portland where he said it and also the place where his psycho sister was trying to bait Kalani into a physical fight.

There's going to be a 90 Days Fiance: Marriage Bootcamp Couples Therapy? Egads, of course, there will. I wonder which other famewhores couples are going to be on it, besides Angela and Michael? I guess I'll find out since I lack all willpower to just not watch it.

Well, that's because everything in/from Turkey is better.

I've lost track of how many times I've watched Almost Famous! Is the book version of Daisy as obnoxious? About 95% of the time I think she's an entitled brat. I realize you need a certain level of ego and hubris to be a rock 'n' roll star but it's the near-constant smugness that's particularly annoying.

Those weren't very far from his eyes and I kept thinking, all it takes is someone bumping into her... Kim's friends in the hotel room in Milan wearing those extremely revealing and unflattering outfits, especially the one on the far right. Oy. I'm hoping that somehow it's just loungewear and won't be worn in public next episode.

It's happened less than five times, I think. But I'm instantly suspicious! I dislike cooking so it must be something else!

They remind me of Avery and Ash.

Whenever I get a friend request on Facebook from a man I don't know, the very first thing I do is a reverse image search. I also look at his list of friends, too, and it's interesting that this dashing fighter pilot's acquaintances are primarily all African men. I'm 59 so there's NO excuse for not knowing how to do a simple reverse image search before you send money to the sexy model, who is wayyy out of your league.

It reminded me so much of the Sea Org, too.

There's a YT video of Bill Nye (the Science Guy) touring the Ark Encounter museum in Kentucky with Kenneth Ham, the creationist and CEO of the organization that founded the museum. As they go through it Nye tells him all the things that are not remotely factual (nearly everything!). Along the way, curious visitors gather around them to listen and ask Nye a few questions and he hopes he can break through to them with the plain facts of science.

Shut it, Gabe-ri. The only business that's yours is your own.

No, you didn't imagine it. Although I wasn't paying attention so I missed that part, right after the show ended and Debbie left the stage, she told Julian that Jen had been giving him the eye and she would be glad to make introductions. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

There should have been an intervention for Jen's friend Randi after she apparently forgot to put on a pair of pants.

When we were first introduced to her she was doing food delivery (probably Uber Eats or DoorDash). I think she was also reselling vintage clothing online that she'd find at places such as thrift stores.

I've always wondered why they don't have big-ass scars on their arms and palms after cutting them countless times for blood. Or how quickly the blood flow seems to stop and never requires a tourniquet. Not to mention the high probability of using unsterile knives... Although to be honest, I'm usually covering my eyes when they do that because I can't handle watching things with sharp knives and scalpels!

Dumpy Danielle and Negative Nicole just need to go the hell home (and to a salon for the former's dark roots and the latter for any hair color other than blonde). Gabe and Isobel are the only couple I like and she's particularly adorable. Why does her family even need to know he was born female? I would never have guessed even for a second that he was. Hey, did you know Stephanie Kris has an illness(es)? Diclofenac is amazing! A few years ago after a long day of touring Pompeii, my legs and feet were in so much pain I could barely walk. My best friend took me to a pharmacy near our hotel and since she speaks Italian she told them my symptoms. They gave me Diclofenac pills and I was in pleasant shock that in less than an hour I was absolutely pain-free and not lurching about like I was drunk. (I always wonder if that's what my neighbors think I am as I stagger into the house after a hike!) I couldn't remember the name of it until the doctor gave the shot to Kris and then I immediately ordered some on Amazon, although unlike in Italy where the pills were OTC here it's only the topical form. It's worth a try, though, because I'm always still hobbling around the day after a hike.

Me, too! I streamed five or six Best Pictures plus The Whale over the weekend but ran out of time for All Quiet... and Triangle of Sadness (although the latter doesn't sound like I missed much); when it comes to Avatar and Top Gun I'm not interested in those. The last one I watched was EEAAO and just don't feel it was worthy of so many awards. Out of all the ones I saw, the one that's really stuck with me is the quietly powerful Women Talking. so I was so glad it at least won Best Adapted Screenplay.

Uh, Mahmoud, one reason Nicole is still in the bathroom is because the camera crew has her cornered. Danielle, it's not Yohan's story to tell--as well as being none of your damn business! I wouldn't want an ex-partner blabbing about a difficult, personal choice I made. Perhaps he was cognizant of that and didn't want to betray the relationship they'd had. Granted, that doesn't explain him telling Sophy. At any rate, I don't think it constitutes a lie or even one by omission.

Did you know that Stephanie Kris has an illness(es)? And it's Colombia, not Columbia. Nicole looked way better with any of the other hair colors she had, especially the red. She's so wan with the blonde and looks almost non-human, like an AI. Definitely agree that it must be the TLC $$ because the majority of the time she seems downright miserable.

Well...that was, uh, fucked up and dreadfully dreary. The last straw was the donkey! I really need to remember to check the "Does The Dog Die" website before I watch something. It no longer just covers animals but also anything that might be triggering/upsetting on. Aaaand this movie is among the ones trending on there right now.

Damn, people, enough with the long-ass reflections on your life and career followed by your long-ass list of people you want to thank. Really, you're going to "beat up" the pianist, Chloe, who is just following the producer(s) instructions instead of letting you ramble on with no indication from you that you're wrapping it up?

Oh, look, both of my 90D most punchable faces are on stage: Charlie and close second Bilal.
