You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Hey. New board.

We were digging Schitt's Creek pretty well but it is not on Netflix in Brazil, VPN is a pain that only works like 20% of the time, and I don't want to pay for it, so we are off of it for a while.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bill Clinton NEVER forgets a bitch.

That is correct.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Also related to discovering well-known standups, I just watched John Mulaney's The Comeback Kid last night, and Dan Levy performed his wedding!!

It's a different Dan Levy! [link]

(Wikipedia has three that they have to disambiguate.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is so confusing! I guess it's not that surprising, though. I mean, Dan and Levy are both pretty common.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Had a couple of friends over for Dinner & Screen (sometimes referred to as Dinner & a Movie, 'cept we didn't get to the movie this time) and we used their Netflix account to watch Hannah Gadsby's special Nanette and the follow up, Douglas. I was worried that maybe I'm just a crazy Hannah-worshipper and they wouldn't get the love, but no! They loved her too! (I was literally concerned by how hard my one friend was laughing in a couple places, I went and got her some water, just in case).

So, billytea, yes, find someone to borrow a Netflix pswd from, or pay for a single month, or something, but yes, definitely see Nanette, SO GOOD!

Did the BBC comedy Staged end up airing back in June? If so, did anyone see it?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I saw an 18 minute YouTube video of them that was probably tangential to that. It was delightful. I'd share, but it's been taken down.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, I've seen I guess clips but didn't know that was what it was from. I would love to see more of it!

Our wings are not tired.

The three generations of Villanueva women reminded me a lot of the three generations of Gilmores.

My sister and I have now watched the first maybe 10 episodes of Gilmore Girls. We have been looking for series to watch together that neither of us has watched. Our question is, does this go anywhere? We are finding it pretty boring so far. Pretty underwhelmed.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

If you're not invested in the characters after 10 episodes, then I'm not sure it's for you.
