  1. it was whatever they had in the storeroom, and often based on who their clients were. when my wife opened her office, she wanted a rolly bar and asked me to set it up to "look good and match", clearly not to use. i stocked it with bombay gin, stoli, and blanton's. it looks good, gets compliments all the time, and not a drop has been touched in 5+ years.
  2. yeah, he drank cc, both home and office i believe. "why is this empty?" "because you drank it all." roger liked stoli. bert didn't drink very often, but when he did he liked brandy. i think pete and peggy kinda drank what others poured them, but i wanna say gin was in the mix. and i think lane drank gin.
  3. in prison you don’t need good hair to get laid.
  4. "the fog" gets a bad rap, but take away the 8-10 min of childbirth (+sopranos-style day-dreams) and it's an excellent episode. it has a dramatic peggy scene when she first asks for a raise. it has the admiral television sequence, starting with a perfect scene in pete's office. and it has one of roger's best lines, right after they throttle pete post-admiral-pitch, when lane asks, "are we done with the flogging?" and sterling responds, "it's never as good as you think it's gonna be." when i do my rewatches, i ff thru scenes and characters i don't care about (like betty, giving birth, and some of grandpa gene), so s3 is fairly unblemished in my eyes. so much of scdp is about the solvency of the agency, it makes you miss the golden age of sterling-coo. i'm still convinced they could've done an entire season that took place in between the s3 finale and the s4 premiere.
  5. something something overton window.
  6. was this my favorite season?
  7. yay?
  8. i don't have kids and not super excited about climate change. wait.
  9. they're 100% getting released. he just won't be mentioned in them at all.
  10. when i was a boy, there was a mansion on the river i used to paddle by in my johnboat. the twinkling lights, violins, girls giggling about something. it’s different inside.
  11. keep his schedule tight and busy, more long plane rides, more complicated foreign food, more jetlag. keep doubting his health and endurance, and he'll keep trying to be superman. encourage him to run for a 3rd term by asking him unchallenged questions and musing about how airtight the constitution really is. if we do this right, then by 2027-2028, he'll be so fucking deranged, that either (a) enough people will wake up and say "yeah, i don't want this" or (b) he somehow gets re-elected and that's the only thing that could actually crash this geopolitical jenga/risk mash-up board game. maybe some mousetrap too. if vance/rubio run and win (fair or otherwise) we are turbo-fucked for a generation. trump needs to be encouraged to run again. this is the only way out. shawshank style.
  12. white snap recipients are trump voters.
  13. over half of these people have jobs. they just get paid shitty wages while trump continues to make everything more expensive. it's going to get worse before it gets worse.
  14. a cognitive test faceoff between trump and aoc/crockett?
  15. well technically they only said it once, they just showed it 3x.
  16. normally i wouldn’t take medical advice from a non-doctor on twitter, but this guy seems to know his stuff.
  17. in this era of political divide and conflict, where nobody can agree on anything, it was nice today that we could all rally together and watch oklahoma lose at home.
  18. being a dick wins you elections now and is very welcoming when you join their party or something.
  19. newsom is here to sell knee-pads and give no fucks, and well…
  20. this show is so fucking good.
  21. s1 was the definition of forgettable. so let’s run it back.
  22. i could also make an argument for s2e5 if you wanted, but yes, generally people should start a good show at the beginning. not sure why people don’t.
  23. hbo shows eligible for emmy consideration? such a thing would be bonkers even to think about.
