Affogato

I wonder if the keyboard stuff is important? It is implied that outie Dylan has issues. The family may have debt from his bad ventures or investments or inability to hold jobs. This would explain the tension about the car. Also there are 4 of them. But the implication is that Dylan isn’t a responsible person. I still would not discount Fields for anything.

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Misty. Who needs to get some outside friends. Honestly.

It is pretty clear that innie Mark is not married to Gemma, and never was married to her. Reintegrated Mark probably isn’t legally because she is dead to the world, but the moral waters are murkier. i wonder if we will find out that Gemma wasn’t a complete victim and was in some way involved with Lumon.

I still think it could be Fields whois working for Lumon, but you are right that the confusion over how many years Lumon has been severing sounds more like Burt’s coverup. think it is possible that Irving has been through multiple severings. I am positive that severing has been going on longer than is generally known, didn’t need Fields to spill the beans. I didn’t remember seeing the tattoo before. Whoops

So much went on. You know, I don’t think Milchick necessarily talked himself into being more of a company man. Yes, we learned his job has hidden and demeaning parts, as Cobel’s must have, and that the paperclip use (like the big words) was a passive aggressive way of protesting. He told himself not to be passive aggressive, but will he grow up and be obedient to the company line or will he stand up for himself? I, for one, expect some resistance from Mr Milchick. has Burt been severed more than once? Has Irving? Have they found love through multiple severings? Who is the person with the frolic tattoo? (I guess that is how we will recognize him.) As an aside, the black hallway seems to be what you see or where you go to be unsevered? Mark is asked if he sees it. And consent —Fields is not wrong, he does have a stake in whether the two had unprotected sex. Also, was Helena able to see video of Mark and Helly having sex? Did that prompt their meeting? can a severed person have consensual sex at all? On either side. And Dylan’ wife, starting an affair and lying about it is creepy, too. Consent is not straightforward, life isn’t, but a lot if issues are raised. There was a flash of Helly when Helena joked about Mark coming to meet her father :-( Helena is awful, but also knd of sad and Mark, I assume will survive the procedure, but where does this leave him? Side effects of unsterile brain surgery aside, of course.

Or Fields. chinese restaurant “FU” John Noble has a beautiful voice.

Mary Poppins?

I look at it like this. Romance as a genre is like horror. No, stay with me. Both are safe and comforting, with predictable endings. There are people who don’t know how to avoid the vampires, but we know how to kill them. We never doubt we will come out of the story. So, in romance you just know that it will all turn out great and everything happens for a reason. It is comfort food. So are a lot of tv shows. The winchesters get their monsters. The cops get the bad guy. The disease is rooted out and cured. People want comfort food. that said, i occasionally enjoy a romance story and I don’t consider myself ‘a’ anything. But a lot of times in fanfiction people are taking characters that are totally unsuited to each other and in order to make them work together they are made dull and generic. This loses me, even if the person who writes it had fun, I am not their reader

I don’t listen to Sirius. I used to like some of Stern’s interviews, but he was never a favorite. i don’t know why I got the stonewalling from Disney, but I appreciate the information.

I go on the Disney + website to see how much it would cost to subscribe for a month and it wants me to give them my email to continue. This is off putting. i mean, before it gives me any information.

I didn’t know Howard Stern was still around…..

I thought they established Dexter had competitive martial arts experience. I think in this show. It would make sense that would help him feel more in control, safer, and reasonable for a cop’s kid, for self defense. the plot with Deb/Gio taught her a lesson, it moved her forward into a more responsible place. Also it was a bonding moment for her and Dexter. There are several this show. i rewatched the first couple of seasons. Dex may gave idolized Harry, but he was always a narcissistic asshole, imo. i think Aaron got in over his head. I don’t think he meant to kill Nicky, but Nicky recognised him. But yeah, I thought it was farfetched.

State Dept. orders cancellation of news subscriptions around the world Embassies and consulates were told to terminate subscriptions to the New York Times, the Associated Press and others https://apple.news/Ac-vtJAVHTaKrLrnS6Gz0nQ terrifying!

I went down a small rabbit hole. “Attila” has a lot of meanings and associations. Huh.

Obviously most presidents fon’t write their executive orders and speeches, but they usually read and understand them.
