Melania is a quietly intriguing character in this show.

I mean, my favorite character is still The Mooch, but there is something mysterious about Melania that I like.

I can see her silently gliding through the palace, ignored by everyone as a decoration, a dagger concealed in the folds of her skirt, heading towards a private chamber (the TV room, probably, in this case).

Timelies all!

I guess there was an upside to not being popular(and therefore not invited to parties) in high school. I know there was a lot of drinking at the parties(because people would talk about how wasted they got), but not about anything else.

I sincerely hope Cosby just dies very quickly now that he's been sentenced. Truth be told I'd be pretty happy if a few hundred predators just had massive brain aneurisms overnight. I'm sick of people.

Relatedly my depression often looks like anger.

I've been eating out Willy nilly and I overdrew my bank account because stupid.

I keep finding myself thinking how assassination seems reasonable to solve some problems, but there's so damn many targets it probably wouldn't be that efficient.

Ditto.

Would this be the place to discuss The Manifest (new TV show; first episode aired last night)?

If someone answered Toddson, I missed the answer. Also, Toddson, how was Manifest? I meant to watch it, but worked late and didn't set the DVR.

Today, I watched a screener for A Million Little Things, which premieres Wednesday night on ABC at 10/9 C. It's pretty unabashedly tapping into the same vein as (not plot-spoiiling premise talk --->) * This Is Us, but it is about friends rather than family. * That said, I really liked it, and if I can find the time, will probably watch the screeners for episodes 2 and 3, also.

There's more on the show on the ABC website [link] if anyone's wondering what I'm talking about. David Giuntoli, Ron Livingston, Romany Malco, Allison Miller, Christina Marie Moses, Christina Ochoa, Grace Park, James Roday, Stephanie Szostak, and Lizzy Greene star.

Is anyone planning to check it out?

Thank god someone else thinks this. The first part anyway. I'm willing to work on logistics.

I'm feeling very strange about Cosby. I know what he did, and he deserves everything he gets/got and more, but it's also really hard to associate that behavior with the public figure who sold pudding and talked about "my brother Russell" and was Cliff Huxtable to me for a really long time.

And the fact that the same man who did those things was also doping and raping women just makes me ill. In a "who *can* I trust" way, I guess.

My theory is that we're feeling like this, because we're no longer in our original timeline. Consider this:

• Bill Cosby is a serial rapist
• Donald Trump is President -- of the frigging United States of America
• Dunkin' Donuts is all: "Our name is now 'Dunkin'."
