Poshmark commercial is telling me that my stuff is just "dollar signs to be made." Well, thanks, but I'd rather have the actual dollars.
What irks me is the idea that you'll make money. Aren't most of the clothes in anyone's closet clothes they have bought themselves? Isn't it more accurate to say that selling those clothes on Poshmark is a way to recoup money you already spent, rather than actual income?
I just saw another Botox commercial ("I'm still millennium.") Being of a certain age, I find myself laughing at these 30-year-old idiots injecting themselves with bio-toxins that have the potential to impair their neurological systems for the sake of smoothing "fine lines" that are nothing, NOTHING, compared to the skin inevitably waiting for them five or ten years down the road.

Gus' abduction is totally on Nicole. Probably her hysteria is a product of guilt, knowing that she's to blame, that she finds him annoying, and maybe, in the dark chambers of her heart, is just a little relieved he's gone as she marinates in her plastic tub.
"Somehow, child abduction feels good in a place like this."

The soundtrack is annoying AF. And it almost never lets up. A little silence would go a long way towards establishing they're in the frozen wastes on the edge of the earth.
No way can they wrap this up in a satisfactory way in two episodes. My guess is the supernatural stuff will prove a red herring, much like Season 1.
If anyone needs me I'll be at The Brick.

Jardiance again, but this is funny (apologies if this has already been posted):
The ‘Once Daily Jardiance’ Commercials Are Making Me Lose My Mind

Joe was mad at the results & kept grumbling while Kornacki was explaining the results.
I'm not sure "mad" covers it. Or perhaps it does, in the other meaning of the word. That's how I feel. I want to scream. We're living the movie "Don't Look Up" in real life, with the same delusional public reaction, and the same self-serving media reaction. But instead of an asteroid it's an election.

Precisely.

I noticed that a new version of this ad has them speaking in their native language, with captions underneath. So much better! (Except I guess for people who have their eyes on their phone rather than the TV screen) Maybe they got feedback about the weird English accents.
"Please sir, I want some more ..."

I didn't watch this episode -- it was all pixelated on my DVR and On Demand. At first I was disappointed, then I remembered it's Season 39 and I'm not missing a damn thing anyway. So I just watched the Cara-Michele elimination. I watched in on youtube, with Cara and Darrell commenting during the playback.
I have to say, Cara looks better than ever. And her old self-deprecating sense of humor seems to have returned too. Even it was just for a few moments, it was the Cara Maria I love to watch.

How the heck old is Jay, who made a mocking face when Kyland was speaking?
Jay is 34 years old. I know this only because I looked it up during the episode to answer my own question, "How many more years will we have to endure this annoying piece of shit before he ages out?"
I saw a sci-fi movie once -- I think it was John Carpenter's The Thing -- where the heroes kill a shape-shifting alien who can pretend to be anyone. As the dying alien writhes in agony, its face keeps changing in a montage of all the people it has impersonated. If Jay were to find himself in a similar plight, I imagine his face would morph from Devin to Bananas to Wes to Emy and all the other players he's desperately trying to be (and failing miserably) every episode (I threw in Emy because she was annoying AF, too).
The only reward I took from this episode was seeing Jay's upper face go hypertension beet red in the moments before and after it became clear that CT was giving him a pass. Never have I seen anyone go that red on this show -- not even Abram when he worked himself up into a nosebleed. I guarantee you that when Jay literally broke down in over-the-top tears during Asaf's departure, that wasn't about Asaf. It was the flood of relief from realizing that only in his nightmares would he have to face CT again.
The elimination didn't seem like much of a challenge, but at least CT won. Two weeks in a row of watching old friends fail would have been too much.

Inside Biden's obsession with Morning Joe
In other news, I hate Steve Kornacki.
Doesn't matter what the topic of a poll is, he's always excited about the outcome. There could be a poll like, "78% of Independent Voters favor female circumcision" and Kornacki would be into it. And I just want to yell at him "Stand up straight, damn you!"

Put Mando right next to the man-sized kleenex.
I was in the toilet paper section of the supermarket yesterday and saw something that made me look twice, even though I didn't want to: Dude Wipes.
I just can't.

I hate to drag Save The Children ads, but ... there's one spot right now played again and again on MSNBC showing a kid ostensibly from Africa lamenting the severity of the droughts there now. The other kid they use is a little white girl in a pink winter coat who appears to be from a war-torn country, accompanied by footage that looks like it came from Syria. The thing is, both these little kids, the one from Africa and the one from probably-Syria, have over-the-top British accents (the little girl in the pink jacket sounds like she's from a road production of Oliver Twist). The first time I heard her voice-over with the images of buildings on fire, I was like, "What? Was Liverpool bombed?" Upon a closer look, you can see that her voice, and that of the other kids in the commercial, have all been dubbed, as the movements of their mouths don't match the words. I don't know what they were thinking making this child sound like an inmate of Miss Minchin's seminary for young girls. Or dubbing the spot so amateurishly that it looks like a Godzilla movie. But it's so distracting that I would think it weakens the message of the commercial.

I assumed they were child actors playing her children.
I couldn't find a definitive answer within 5 minutes and refused to devote any more of my life to the question. The kid in one of the commercials is addressed as Santiago and her actual son's name is Santiago.

Watched Joe and Mika give Ron DeSantis a softball interview on Morning Joe Weekend. Nothing about his anti-LGBT stance, his hostility towards corporations who treat employees like human beings, his antics with using migrants as political pawns, or his authoritarian tendencies. Nothing.
Instead it was "How do you feel about Donald Trump's characterization of you?"
Terribly disappointing.
ETA: They also asked DeSantis' thoughts on Trump having the power to deploy Seal Team 6 to take out political opponents like him. DeSantis' reply was something like, "Trump says a lot of things, it's all bluster."
Mika and Joe were like, "okay."

I see Kathi Lee Gifford is shilling for Balance of Nature now. Sheesh, is the company that successful they can have a dozen different commercials running simultaneously?
This is the very commercial I came to complain about.
"Everybody's talking about how hard it is getting older," says the woman sitting in the immaculate parlor of her multimillion dollar home, or reclining by the glistening pool in her multimillion dollar home, or pretending to water the garden of her multimillion dollar home (I'm guessing they had to show her how to use a hose).
I am reminded of another commercial, for which product I can't remember, but one in which some wealthy old coot happily preaches about how easily he can stay in his own home as long as he has someone to come in to cut his hair, shave him, and provide a bevy of other personal services probably including, but not limited to, wiping his ass for him.
The shameless shilling by and for the wealthy is very annoying.
Oh, and Eva Longoria's egotistical commercials for "Dice Dreams" are nauseating, particularly because she thrusts her own children into the public eye to aggrandize herself and fill her coffers for something as cheesy as a phone game.

It's especially hilarious when it comes on while watching cable news.

Brava to Mika yesterday for confronting that Biden campaign representative and demanding to know when the campaign was going to start dealing with the unique challenges posed by their adversary. No brava for accepting a mealy-mouthed answer that instilled zero confidence in viewers wondering the same thing.

There has got to be a way to get a new, interesting cast to start re-building the franchise with. I don't know what it is, but there has got to be one.
1. Don't bring on people just because they're pretty. Pretty people are usually the least interesting people once they start talking.
2. Cut it out with the international cast. I know BMP is trying to globalize The Challenge but they're killing it in the process. Other cultures are more reserved and language concerns tend to suppress drama. This show was built on loud-mouthed, entitled Americans, and we need them now more than ever.
3. Since Ru Paul's Drag Race is on MTV now, start recruiting Challengers from there. I have a feeling there wouldn't be a lack of drama.

I have to agree. I found myself getting irritated when they were helping Ravyn, then remembered I had no problem with it when the disadvantaged party was Turbo. So.

Can we just get it over with and change the name of the show to The Michel-lenge? Because everything, even other people's eliminations, always comes back to being about her.
The ABC party was cringy AF, considering there were what? Twelve people present?
TJ's laughter at the food challenge sounded half-hearted and forced.
Laurel played as though she was thinking "Wait, I'm a veterinarian. I have a career and a life. This doesn't mean anything anymore."
In the wake of this awful, awful season, she may be proven right.
I don't know why I still watch except there's nothing else interesting on.

Enough with the Michelle confessionals. It's beyond OTT now.
Darrell choking was no surprise. He sucks in eliminations.
Remember when Jay and Michele were just minor annoyances in a houseful of vets? Take away the vets and the minor annoyances flood the void.
I find myself doing other things while the show is on. I look up now and then, mostly when Ed is on because Ed is the only one there with the attitude and spirit I associate with The Challenge.
I don't get the fascination with Moriah. She's a nobody with a $13,000 nose job.

S04.E05: Part 5
in True Detective
This is the start of the cop-out. And the way it was presented was like, "oh, by the way, it was an avalanche killed them, so just forget all that weird supernatural shit we've been spoon-feeding you for four episodes now. Why did the guy say 'she's awake?" Truth is, we don't know. Thanks for watching, suckers."
