Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says “It hurts when I do this.” Doctor says “Treatment is simple. Don’t do this.” Man bursts into tears.
“But Doctor, I *am* do this.”
Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

We don’t *know* that the Disney higher ups put this piece out! Where’s the evidence?
Disney got mad enough to put out a puff piece on Screen rant, and this part in particular is incredibly gross.
Jenny applauds cast/crew at every turn, putting blame firmly on Disney execs and corporate management. Now they hide behind cast, implying she's coming for them!

Best actual solution to the prisoner’s dilemma is to secretly communicate with the other prisoner, an old priest, and he helps you figure out who betrayed you so that you wound up in the Chateau d’If and also tells you of a treasure on the island of Monte Cristo.

For profit academic publishers run a system where academics volunteer their own labor to review each others’ work which is then published behind paywalls that their own employers pay to access and the academics don’t receive any of the profits of their own intellectual labor
Please quote this tweet with a thing that everyone in your field knows and nobody in your industry talks about because it would lead to general chaos.

Jesse, she is, if nothing else, easily read there as taking joy in mocking people that you are frequently accusing of having a bias against. It’s weird that you hold the line at “I won’t bet on the things I cover” but can’t see any issue with your bff/cohost doing that

Ways to end an email:

• boring
• unnecessary
• no one has questions for you
“This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off”
• powerful
• decisively ends the conversation
• suggests you can defeat a xenomorph

Lorelai was better prepared for the things that life threw at her when she was 16 than Rory was at 30.
Rewatching the Gilmore Girls pilot it’s very clear that Rory was built all along to be a chaos agent hurtling towards repeating her mother’s mistakes (and then some) despite Lorelai’s best efforts
