I miss my Mum's brown bread. A close replacement was Odlum's mix, but it didn't do quite the same thing as Mum's. I missed that @shapeshifter was responding to @Caoimhe & thought it was about fish in a tank. Like, as pets. I was confused. I probably ought to take a nap.

additional screenshots of Cohen's email, from the same Bluesky post I linked to above.

So, not just Paul Weiss, but Skadden too. From Business Insider: A Skadden associate calls out Big Law for bowing to Trump in her public resignation letter I wish I could post the screenshots from Ms. Cohen's LinkedIn page, but I don't have a sign-in for that. I found this on a BlueSky post. Per the post, it was sent firm-wide.

I'm seeing Paul Stein & Paul Wiess referenced above. I've never heard of a a Paul Stein Law Firm; Paul Wiess (Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison) is a well known white shoe (funny one, @bluegirl147!) firm. A couple of my friends have worked at PW; I'm going to ask them how they feel about their former firm being so obsequious to POTUS. Wonder whether other firms will also bend the knee. I've got a few friends who've worked at a few of those, namely Cravath and Skadden Arps and Debevoise.

The arrival of the next shift was good to see: our team doesn't work in a vacuum, and they really did need all hands on deck. I don't recall reading about what the plans are for season 2, but as the next shift started to arrive, I thought that S2 could easily be a smooth transition into their shift. I know it'd mean a new cast, so it's unlikely. Was an oddly timed episode (& I promise, I'm not delving into politics here; well, not deeply anyway) with the recent (like within this week) decision to remove from the HHS website the advisory defining gun violence as a public health issue. Whenever there has been a mass shooting event, I've thought we should see photos of the ER after the victims have been tended to. Could change a mind or two about strengthening gun laws.

Brilliant ep. Great reference to M*A*S*H, was very reminiscent of that show.

Interesting choice of name for the character.

My husband was 15 years older than me, so when he turned 50 & I was 35, I became an AARP member.

Welp. From CBC: U.S. could lose democracy status, says global watchdog

Interesting read on the technical aspects of filming the show: Filming ‘Adolescence’: How the Netflix Series Pulled Off One-Shot Episodes Without Stitching Takes Together Phil Barantini (Director), Matthew Lewis (Cinematographer), & Graham (Lead) all worked together previously on the one-shot film Boiling Point (from '21).

They can't help telling on themselves.

Hey Ormewood, what do you got against musicals?

Myers is a great place for UK imports. For Irish Imports, get out into Queens and to The Butcher Block in Sunnyside. I don't think they have a website, which is unfortunate. ETA: they offer Irish-style boiling bacon there. And rashers.

1850s or 1950s?

Oof, that was a tough watch. I'll need to watch these episodes with breaks between. Stephen Graham is brilliant in that final scene. @Snazzy Daisy's link above uses the word 'poleaxed' and Graham shows this so well. I really like the one-shot technique they're using here. Graham was in a film from a few years back called Boiling Point; they used the the same thing for that film. I guess he go to appreciate it there. It's available in the States on Peacock, I think; worth finding if you have a hole in your viewing hours/schedule.
