Where are we talking Riverdale? Is it here? The phone with the dial to get into the speakeasy is just adorable.

Aaaagh, could not sleep. Woke up at 6am. Which would be one thing if I were healthy and like "cool I'll get a lot of shit done today" but my plans for the day are basically "shower, eat, watch some tv, fuck around on the Internet, hope someone texts me back"

I think this is the only thread where it fits, although you could argue that the Gargoyle King shit from this season makes it juuuuuuust genre enough for Boxed Set. Anyway, I love everything about this show because it is so cheerfully over the top and totally leans into it. Like it's an actual plot point that a grown-ass adult's (who is a mafia king, no less) biggest challenge is framing a 16-year-old for murder. I mean, my guy, you might need a little therapy for that. I feel like you probably have bigger fish to fry.
And I'm so excited about the next episode (the flashback one), you have no idea.

There's an active shooter at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. I don't understand how we're even a country anymore.

I mean, they'd better figure out how to fit Molly Ringwald in there somehow. It's a takeoff of The Breakfast Club, and she's in Riverdale's cast, so they'd better not let such an obvious opportunity go by.
I'm also wondering how many episodes of 90210 KJ Apa binge-watched to figure out how to portray Luke Perry as a high school character. I hope it was A LOT. I guess Lili Reinhart could have binge-watched Twin Peaks, too.

Very true, Tep.
Argh, that is terrible, Dana. I guess I'd better check the news.
And I'm sorry, meara, that must be frustrating.

Right next to where I lived in 1980. Squirrel Hill. I lived in a neighborhood called Point Breeze just adjacent. We used to go to Squirrel Hill for the good bagels! My thoughts of Pittsburgh are always of the wonderful people. Worried about them.

Damn, people really suck. The dead and injured were there for a bris ceremony. This is so sad.

What is even happening?
It'll be okay. The Oval Office is already on top of things -- even tweeting about it.
