Wargamer with two borked cats, an oversized dog, and an unhealthy interest in moral injury, chaplaincy and WMDs. The least prepared chaplaincy student and most relaxed ex-faculty member. Her dresses have pockets to angrily shove her fists into.

I have a working theory that working with Jimothy Caviezel would absolutely make any sensible human understand the importance of politics and Ms. Henson is more sensible than many.

That all said we all know Grant is getting out of prison in 5-10 years and definitely seeking revenge, right?

It's fine. Honestly, Cassie has achieved a new peak in middle aged hotness. Jake is fine, made more palatable by the realization that this is his last appearance. Audrey rules and is correct in her assessment of the utility of police in domestic cases. Grace is delightful. Jim is the worst.

the anathema of fascism is interpersonal cooperation. the antidote for the poison that is capitalism is community and solidarity. we need to help each other, without any expectation of profit or reward.

Agreed. Existential threats to humanity are my jam. And they’re all, every fucking one of them that is imminent, because of human choices and actions. We built all of this. We can take all of it apart. Nihilism is complicity.

I really have lost my former tolerance for "we're doomed/fucked/it's all over/they've won" takes at this point, in that they're the most dangerous attitudes one could possibly have when confronted with a truly existential political threat (which we still DO have levers to address).

Jake is a disappointment and Drew is on my shit list not because of anything he does (though he is a bad boyfriend and Mia can do better) but because he looks like Ben Shapiro so I don't trust him. They fixed the childcare issue in this movie which helped a lot.

A dear friend and his wife invited a bunch of people to their place for a Seder/iftar and when I tell you that they offered gefilte fish as the first dish to people breaking their fast... An Afghan woman sitting next to me tried some, then decided she could go another 30 minutes without food.

Not mine, but a grad school friend, who had only heard of gefilte fish in the context of All of a Kind Family, and thought it sounded incredible. I tried to explain, and then finally had to just give him a jar.

I used to greet my youngest cousin by flipping her upside down until my mother quietly suggested she might not be enjoying herself, but Annie is a fight choreographer now and I claim at least partial credit for this.

At least Doris, who is also a terrible parent, finally says what I've wanted someone to say for weeks. Cassie talks like a fortune cookie. The annoying kind that has aphorisms, not fortunes, inside.

George and Gwen are great. They're charming! They're extremely hot as an aging couple who are delighting in finding love again. Mostly this movie confirmed that our "you have the conn" "I have the conn" approach to baby management is both necessary and genius.

The way @raevpet.bsky.social and I screeched when we saw Cassie letting that baby head flop. The way we yelled at the pillow in the crib. The clutching of hands as they put a duvet over a still reinflating infant.

How is Cassie in heels? At that point post baby I still couldn't sit without crying.

Look, I work full time. I am enrolled in grad classes. I even, like a dumbass, did community theater. But I actually occasionally hang out with my kid and don't dump her on a teen with zero notice. Cassie and Jake need to actually think about what they owe both their daughters because this sucks.

Good Five, unequivocally the worst one so far. Makes me feel like a competent parent and leaves me asking the questions: where is the baby? When did pediatricians still suggest bedding in cribs? Did they really have no plan for childcare besides a 16-year-old? Who takes a month old infant camping?

As a PhD earner, I can confirm that I am an utter dumbass in so so many areas, and I'm the only person in my cohort to have finished the PhD and to have landed a related job. Do not ask me about which mushrooms are poisonous or how to do your math homework.
