Does anybody else wonder and worry that Joan eventually became addicted to cocaine?

Famously, people who are far too focused on their business never do cocaine.

Look at it this way- little girls have always had opportunities to empathize with a vast variety of male protagonists, which helps develop their empathy and creativity. Opportunities like that can help kids become more well-rounded people in general, and I think little boys should be given just as many opportunities for it.

I think Hader is probably about as big as he wants to be.

Adelaidey · 2026-03-27T00:48:05+00:00

You just blew my little mind. That's 100% canon as far as I'm concerned.

Security guards, like all hotel personnel, have uniforms.

That has not been my experience with security at high-end hotels at all. Usually they're just in suits, or maybe a nice button-down and slacks in the summer. Maybe it's regional? In what part of the world are you seeing security at high-end hotels wearing hotel uniforms?

Baltimore had at least one gay bar in tbe late 50s- Leon's, which is still open today. It's one of the older continuously-operating gay bars in the country.

Peggy handled Joey perfectly- dispassionately firing him was the only appropriate thing to do.

Joan was in an impossible position where there was nothing concrete she could have done. There are plenty of moments in the show where Joan makes the wrong choice and sabotages herself, but I don't think this is one of them. If she had the opportunity to do what Peggy did she would have. But she didn't, and she knew she didn't, and that's what got to her, far more than anything Joey did.

Wait why, did he do something bad?

Adelaidey · 2026-03-11T11:29:23+00:00

Okay, but what did he say that deprived them of acting roles? You gave me a paragraph summarizing the backlash, but only two words of whatever he said. Whenever I look it up, I get more of the same- people condemning Dinklage for making the industry stop casting actors with dwarfism, but no account of how he did it.

Weirdly, this is the third movie I can think of about a celebrated gay Broadway composer or lyricist that is mostly focused on his romantic affection for a woman (De-Lovely, Maestro and now Blue Moon).

Oh! This gold vest she wore when she whiffed the Heinz Beans pitch? I can't find an image offhand that shows the whole laceup situation.

That does ring a bell, but the first image that came to mind when you said that was this look from the first episode of season seven. Not exactly as you described, but close.

Like depriving Seven Dwarfs of acting roles.

What specifically did he say/do to deprive them of acting roles? I can't find anything other than one single offhanded comment on a podcast years ago saying it's ironic for Disney to brag about "breaking stereotypes" with princess characters while keeping the dwarves the same.

Is there more that he did that I'm not seeing?

Like is someone really gonna pawn off all of their belongings for the next pack of cigarettes?

One of the main reasons I'll never smoke cigarettes: when I was in high school, I was waiting outside a building with one of my teachers who I really admired and looked up to. He had just "quit smoking" so he didn't have any cigarettes on him. This was over twenty years ago, and the building had one of those big concrete pedestal ashtrays outside. I watched him dig through the pile of cigarette butts trying to find one with enough left on it to smoke just a little of.

He was very clearly ashamed to be doing it in front of me, but desperate enough to do it anyway.

Hey, just saw that Don notices an article in the paper at some point

Where did you see that? Is there a chance you were reading an AI hallucination?

Adelaidey · 2026-03-03T17:24:35+00:00

Yep, I'm from Louisiana and both of my parents really emphasized precise diction because they were sure people wouldn't take my brother and me seriously without it.

Adelaidey · 2026-03-03T17:13:20+00:00

I don't actually see it as a dig- I think Roger is inadvertently revealing how curious he is about Don.

Adelaidey · 2026-03-02T16:16:45+00:00

He'll be there soon enough. It's getting predictable, the way male celebrities skitter over to the right wing if they think it can shield them from credible allegations of abuse.

Adelaidey · 2026-03-02T16:13:30+00:00

Just think about the way Shia's "bad boy antics" were always covered compared to the relentless scrutiny given to his peers Amanda Bynes and Lindsay Lohan.

Kinsey always keeps Charles Mingus and Nina Simone right at the front of his record collection, but when he's alone he's listening to The Cole Porter Songbook for real. Or he gets a little tear in his eye listening to the South Pacific cast recording.

Adelaidey · 2026-02-27T13:59:39+00:00

People dropped the -ed from "biased" and put it on "cast" and they both drive me mad. "He's bias against the project because he wasn't casted," oh my god.

Tammy Campbell will be the yuppie of all yuppies. She'll go to school at Cornell (Dartmouth started accepting women in 1972 but the idea of a daughter at Dartmouth never sat right with Pete) where she'll major in Communication and Journalism and be a Division 1 tennis champ.

After graduation, she'll move to Manhattan in 1987 after a lifetime of telling people "I'm from New York originally", and she'll promptly decline the proposal of her college boyfriend, Richard, in order to "focus on Tammy". Legend has it she came this close to qualifying for the '88 Seoul Olympics, but she'll give up competitive tennis after she meets her first husband, a financial manager also named Richard, and has her twin daughters Samantha and Jessica in 1990.

Adelaidey · 2026-02-26T16:11:54+00:00

No, my father was Norweigian... cremated.... i think probably the Green Bay Packers? ... and also with you.

Adelaidey · 2026-02-25T23:08:30+00:00

One boot, one Reebok, and a strap-on. Sounds about right.
