Or they just don't do town halls to begin with.

I forgot about the movie Pushing Tin. Re air traffic controllers, I always think of the Breaking Bad arc of a character who was an air traffic controller, and the tragedy that resulted. I guess I haven't heard about this. Do the Duffy's have a lot of children? On the one hand, yes, we're all going to die. But on all the other hands, you don't have to push people over a cliff. And did you see her 'apology?' What a horrible person. Just doubling down on the cruelty and, I suppose, poking the libs, although I'm sure not all the people at the town hall who were appalled at her statement are liberals. But Biden! Geez, how people can excuse all the stupid, tone-deaf, narcissistic things he says is beyond me. I know people say this all the time, but imagine if any Democrat said the things Trump does (or of course does any of the things he and his administration do), if you're honest you'll see your hypocrisy. What a sad and terrifying story. It's head-shaking to read about all the factors that played into that disaster. And that poor air traffic controller. I can't imagine how he felt. His murderer was convicted of manslaughter? And then hailed as a hero? Ugh. Pete Buttigieg asked Congress for a mandatory account and also to hire more air traffic controllers. How'd that go? Re that segment of Fox's Dagen McConnell repeatedly saying she didn't want to curse, I don't think the audience was too amused.

I liked his "Your mouth is a lie-hole!" and Linda's "Walker Belcher Rangers." But overall, this ep didn't do much for me. The conspiracy-obsessed classmate was too annoying for me, as well as being too true-to-life these days. I think that early on Bob should have just gone back home and returned with another pair of shoes for Linda. But I've been there, wearing inappropriate shoes for walking and getting blisters.

Nice article. I didn't realize he had been on The Wire, on which was also Sonja Sohn. I'm pretty sure they didn't have any scenes together. Here's a pic from him on The Wire:

Yes, @Mirabelle, I agree with you. Lizzie is turning her disappointment into anger and throwing it at Hannah. I understand her pain, but I still don't get how she came to say, "So it's my fault." -- or was it "So I'm to blame." -- I will feel more sympathy for her if when we next see her, she apologizes to Hannah after having time to get over the shock.
-
Hannah's sister is horrible. I don't follow why she was so pissed, unless it really wasn't rationale. Hannah's pregnancy wasn't planned, so she didn't do this to mess with her sister. At the end of the scene, the sister sarcastically said something like, "So this is my fault." How could she get there from what Hannah said? It's like she literally has a mental illness.

I guess we all knew that Dr Lenox was lying. Not being a fan of Reece's, I was very disappointed to see Dr Charles coming to her for therapy. Man, I really can't stand her. I'm glad he said to his daughter that he was a shrink. I mean, he couldn't really separate being a father from being a shrink. I don't think I'd be able to if I was a shrink. I think the problem was more with the daughters rather than with Dr Charles. I liked it. As she was saying, she was becoming aware of her difficulty in forgiving people. She had a horrible couple of days (if it was a couple). Bert, although having Alzheimers, was a comfort to her. I know a couple of people here said Dr Archer and Dr Asher had slept together, but I completely missed that. I always saw them as very good friends, which I loved. But I really really really still hope that they didn't sleep with each other, although I can't think of a good reason that she would say, "We have to talk." I'm so glad that little boy's father didn't shoot anyone. I am glad that the rich guy's daughter forced her dad to give up the lungs. Made me think, however, how many very sick children are as kind and wise as portrayed on TV and movies.

Didn't Bill Mahr recently meet with Trump and then reported what a nice guy he was? Yeah, I was actually thinking during the ep that Trump might sue. Why doesn't HBO have an FCC license? As far as Dr Odyssey goes, I doubt John watches it, but somebody on the writing staff might, then clips were shared, laughed about, and incorporated into the show.
-
I just checked, and he's on Bluesky, so I'm now following him there. It was Cinemax (MAX) that had the porn. But as John exclaimed, Trump's threats are basically backed up by the FCC. So not only are the news outlets being sued for whatever stupid-ass reason Trump dreams up, but they are being blackmailed by threats to mergers and selling affiliates. The FCC guy Carr saying that the ICE agents were undercover... Should ICE agents be undercover? I hate that they wear masks and, I believe, no badges. I think many of them are people like the pardoned J6ers. Cracked me up when John referred to that pale blonde guy at the press conference as Business Malfoy. I'm so sickened by him. He's a narcissist and a bully. He's ignorant and greedy. I can't stand to listen to him or look at him. So I'm very glad that John ended on the wonderful minor league baseball update. The emails the show received were great. Those leagues know not to take themselves too seriously. I was elated by the huge response to John's offer. Loved how John voiced the logo for the Exploding Whales. "Guess who's about to go booooom." Is 'sod poodle' known slang for ground squirrel or did that league make it up? Doctor Odyssey looks like nothing I'd want to watch. "What if sick, but boat."

What? I don't mind, but why are they moving it? I liked this ep. Mr. Fischoeder always cracks me up. "Jackson can go french a horn." "Maestro-bate" and "Polish your baton" don't mean what you think. Felix having to watch kids while the kids were actually watching Felix was good. The life-size Lincoln Logs were pretty funny. But I was expecting more childhood toys of Felix's. I guess we didn't need them. I liked Linda coming up with "smart bald." I'm so glad that Mr. Fischoeder got to conduct the fast-tempo version, and yes, it sounded better than the slow version. I noticed in the end credits that the glasses of Cleopatra's Climax were actually climaxing. Inga: Poof poof poof.

S50.E21: Scarlett Johansson / Bad Bunny
peeayebee replied to Galileo908's topic in Saturday Night Live
I am a female. I get what you're saying. IRL, yes, the apology should be done to the butt of the joke. However, comedically I thought it was awkward for her to sit there. As a compromise, maybe Che could have apologized to Scarlett who's off-camera, the camera pans to her as she accepts the apology, then back to Che and Colin. -
S50.E21: Scarlett Johansson / Bad Bunny
peeayebee replied to Galileo908's topic in Saturday Night Live
The crew was probably taking a long time clearing out the mess and setting up a new table. I understood all that. I think the apology would have worked just as well (or better) if Che addressed Colin. To me it was awkward for Scarlett to be sitting there with not much to do other than receive the apology. BTW, I googled and got an answer to my question about the lavender tie and carpet in Saudi Arabia. In 2021 the kingdom announced that lavender would be the color for any ceremonial carpets. Lavender (the color of lavender and wildflowers in the desert) symbolizes the kingdom's identity. -
S50.E21: Scarlett Johansson / Bad Bunny

... the fall of civilization. Yeah, I agree. That was a painful, unfunny sketch. I did like Mikey's character, so there's that. What's RIP Ass Dan? The CO was yet another uninspired Trump CO. The monologue was ok, nothing more. My favorite part of the Channel 4 NYC News sketch was Emir singing. Great little character moment. I liked the please don't destroy video. My favorite part? Bad Bunny. "What color your plane?" I also liked the bar sketch. Again, Bad Bunny! I didn't know I was such a fan. He and Marcella complaining in Spanish to each other was pretty funny. Again with the Bowen is Straight sketch? And... that's the joke. Bowen is straight. Oh, I couldn't understand what Bowen said at one point -- "Thanks for inventing the ???" (There were several times during the show that I couldn't understand what was said.) I'd forgotten that Mike Myers was there when Kanye said George Bush doesn't care about black people. Does Ye have fangs? I noticed that Kenan seemed to have some, and so I wondered if these were Kenan's natural teeth or if they were prosthetic ones for the Ye character. Loved that first Bad Bunny performance. The set was really cool, though honestly I had to look away at times because I was getting motion sickness. Loved the choreography. I don't speak Spanish, but I enjoyed the song. The second performance was good, too, but not as much as the first. WU. The McJournalist burger joke was dark, but it was a good one. I enjoyed seeing Miss Eggy again. And I again did not enjoy the Colin and Che joke swap. Nice for them to be having fun, I guess. I also thought Scarlet's presence was unnecessary. I was wondering why Trump wore a lavender tie. I know that it coordinated with the welcome carpet, but I wonder if there's a significance in Saudi Arabia to the color. I can't imagine Trump deliberately choosing a lavender tie, so I think the carpet came before the tie. TV Takes was ok. There were some funny moments. Victorian Ladies at Lunch was so gross but pretty funny. I guess the props dept deliberately coated the fake eel with something that would stick to the cast's teeth. Cracked up at Heidi saying, "I went numbers 2 thru 7." A couple of funny moments, but all in all a disappointment. -
Yeah, I hate the Trump stand-up bits.

I'm ashamed to admit that I did not see that coming, even though there were signs, like the experimental ports or whatever that the billionaire's daughter had in her chest, and, well, that he was a billionaire who expected to get whatever he wanted. Once we learned that his daughter was getting the lungs, I thought he had given the organ donor place a huge donation -- basically bribing them -- but I do believe that he was telling the truth about his daughter's condition being deemed more dire. Of course being a powerful billionaire with unlimited resources, he can get people to say whatever he wants. Still, it was awful what he did. The whole thing is a sad case, but he's also the type that won't accept defeat. Not that I really approve this either, but he could have used his resources to check out other countries' lung donor situation. He'd probably have no compunction about giving money for it, in one way or the other, and of course he'd probably screw up someone else's life, but there's just no excuse for what he did to the boy and his parents. I never see the previews, but I'm surprised the show is apparently having the other parents (or father) come in with a gun. The show did that one or two times already, right? Actually, in this ep I did wonder where the boy's parents were and why they weren't screaming at the billionaire. As for Dr Swarmy, I'm glad he's out. I was so happy when that nurse told Dr Howard that she too had been sexually harassed by him. And I expected there to be more. When the story came out, I thought it was the nurse who did it, but it works better that Dr Howard took control of her own story. What is the disease the Dr Lenox and her brother are being tested for? The service for Dr Charles' mother was nice. I'm curious why Anna quit Stanford. Oh, and I wonder if the French Stewart character is just very quirky or if there's something untoward going on with him.
