I would watch a whole series of the night shift’s antics, especially after seeing Dr. Shen & Dr. Ellis doing a Weekend At Bernie’s with this poor bastard in the waiting room. #ThePitt

*JD Vance is a recent Catholic convert and therefore not allowed an opinion on anything IMO. He merely adopted the generational Catholic guilt. I was born in it, molded by it. He clearly hasn’t yet developed the sense of Jesus as your parole officer who can’t WAIT to put you back in the slammer.

So we’ve got Doctor Jesus cosplay, Trump beefing with the Pope (for being “weak on crime” and not a big enough fan of war,) Vance* god-splaining morality to the literal Pope, and now this. If it HAS to be the fake religiosity over EVERYTHING else that weakens support for this regime, I’ll take it!

He’s learned a potentially lifesaving skill and maybe found his vocation via a YouTuber….and that’s why the internet isn’t necessarily a complete cesspool, no matter how bad it seems most of the time.

My 13-year-old who wants to be a doctor is watching ’The Pitt’ (with adult supervision, of course) and he’s taken to rating all the (fictional) doctors’ chest compressions and pointing out where they’re going wrong. And genuinely MASSIVE thanks to (the very real) Dr. Mike for that knowledge.

…..I don’t *hate* it. He’s a superb actor and could definitely do the thing well.

But I still don’t understand why this thing is happening at all. You can’t improve on perfection, guys!

Here’s a pic of my OBGYN asking me to “just scooch down a little bit more”:

It’s crazy how I spend all week excitedly anticipating the next episode of #ThePitt as if it’s not an extremely stressful hour of viewing EVERY single time. This week, they happened to tackle one of my biggest medical anxieties….so guess who’s not sleeping tonight!

I would say “have fun” because in a historical context it’s quite an interesting topic….but due to recent events, it’s just depressing.

Melania needs to shut aaaallll the way the fuck up FOREVER. At the beginning of all this, I thought she was just an innocent gold digger who got unlucky when her husband didn’t die earlier but it’s been clear for a while that she’s as big a ghoul as the rest of them. Fuck that plastic faced bitch.

Never thought my knowledge of Medieval history and the Avignon papacy would be relevant in 2026, but here we are.

I think this is maybe his exit plan for avoiding prison; Venezuela is the new Argentina. He’s going to try to Roman Polanski it.

I apparently made a really tasty dinner for my family tonight and my son was so impressed that he was moved to tell me I’m “super cool.” He’s 13 so this is HUGE!!

I think I’m gonna turn off news notifications on my phone. HOW IS THIS ALLOWED?! He’s a maniac!

I say all this about baby-faced Doctor Frank fully aware that people with *my* name only ever come in two flavours: 1. Über-Catholics and 2. Octogenarian French women (and also whatever Bernadette Peters is….no one knows.)

I know this is not new news and I’m just slow but Dr. Langdon’s name is Frank?!….FRANK??? Sorry, but that is *not* the face of a Frank. I’m willing to bet everything his full given name isn’t Francis/François but something nuts like Franklin. Frank is a WILD choice, honestly. That’s a grandad name!

‘Small Prophets’ was so good! Like ‘Detectorists’, it’s incredibly gentle comedy and it looks gorgeous. And I do LOVE an inter generational platonic relationship; those two are just so sweet together. Superb Modest Mouse needle drop, too.

By the way, this is an IP thing and it happens aaaaaall the time. There is a very long list of products that have their own special laws that we in the biz have to navigate daily. Some jurisdictions get exemptions….and some that voted to leave said jurisdictions for stupid fucking reasons don’t.

Hey, “I’m voting Leave because I want bendy bananas back” people - how’s that working out for you? The EU now gets to have ‘Marmalade’ while you’ll have to leave jars of ‘CITRUS marmalade’ outside your dead monarch’s palace. Bet that’s gotta sting…

I woke up this morning full of the joys as I had a VERY vivid dream that “it” would happen extremely soon. I’m hoping against everything that psychic ability isn’t actually bullshit and that what I had was in fact a That’s So Raven style premonition.

How do I monetize this? Can I bring the ‘You Bet’ format to Canada?

I’m getting really good at spotting my people in the wild. Yesterday in the building where I work I saw a guy about 100ft away from me who I could only describe as having a “British face.” As he got closer I could hear the conversation he was having with his colleague and BOOM! Mancunian accent!

* Once when my son sent me a funny text and once when I saw a wild turkey outside and got scared….I was inside, btw.

Day 2 of my period and I only cried twice* this whole day. A win is a win.

Keep it up! You really don’t want to live like this (again….the last king that ruled you was severely mentally ill as well with a bunch of useless, awful heirs waiting in the wings and a foreign wife with her own interests to protect by being close to power. So….there’s precedent there.)

As someone who is an unwilling “subject” of a king in both countries of which she is a citizen (and it’s the same sausage fingered king in both countries, too,) #NoKings is a great idea, America.

‘Bait’ was really good! And I know doing this show has probably killed any prospects he may have had but I think Riz Ahmed would make a superb Bond. I would actually watch one of those films for the first time.

Also Patrick Stewart needs to exclusively do comedy; he’s so funny.

In which case, I’m so sorry…..BUT LOOK AT HIM! I was wrong about the coat; it’s a teeny tiny beret!!! 😭

I’m in the same boat. Today I nearly burst into tears because I got a spam flyer in the mail that had a corgi on the cover and he was wearing a little yellow rain coat and tiny yellow Wellington boots! 🥹 Spent a full 5 minutes debating if I should cut the picture out and frame it. Ate cake instead.

“Get in, loser. We’re going to Tim Hortons.”
