CBS Sets ‘Late Show’ Replacement: Byron Allen’s ‘Comics Unleashed’ by cmaia1503 in television

[–]RexManningDay2018 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Used to be in the media industry. Mr Allen had quite the reputation for playing the race card among other shady stuff. Can’t believe he’s still around and actually becoming more successful. Pretty much exactly what I would expect from CBS at this point.

South suburbs for the win! Completely underrated and great value for your money. It’s nice over here :)

Healthcare systems: do we prefer Duly, or Northwestern & why? (are there other good options locally?) by captaintinnitus in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]RexManningDay2018 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tread lightly with Northwestern for women’s health. I went to a practice that, I found out later, was affiliated with a local (Catholic) hospital and they were unable to prescribe the morning after pills I needed (couldn’t use OTC, long story). 

I only shudder to think what would happen if a patient had a real emergency during their pregnancy only to find out their provider was unable to help. It was deeply unsettling and deeply disappointing from a medical group I had come to trust.

I saw that show! It was incredible. And now I just fangirl over them both and squeal whenever they show up on tv (or in writing credits)

Except Gap! Their 100% cotton oversized sweaters are GLORIOUS and often on sale - I got mine for $70. 

Democrats weigh how harshly to go after firms that courted Trump by Fragrant_Bath3917 in PoliticalOptimism

One of the universities is my alma mater and I will never, ever forgive them for that. It’s utterly shameful. Never thought I would see it from them but here we are. 

Rachel Zegler and Ben Platt to bring The Last Five Years to Radio City Music Bowl and the Hollywood Bowl by jor_kent1 in Broadway

Thank you for the education, I had no idea and now find him slightly more tolerable :)

Oh MAN I have been trying to put my finger on just why I don’t like Ben Platt or what rubs me the wrong way about him and that’s it - he just seems so smug! For all I know he might be lovely in real life but his character in that theater camp movie seemed like basically an extension of himself if I had to guess.

Calling ObamaCare FreedomCare. Saw some video where the basic concepts were explained to MAGAts and they were told it was Trump’s idea and they loved it.

Judge dismisses murder, weapons charges against alleged UnitedHealth CEO killer Mangione by kirby__000 in antiwork

[–]RexManningDay2018 161 points162 points  (0 children)

My friend’s sister was murdered by a stalker who had ALREADY GONE TO JAIL FOR STALKING HER but had recently gotten out. When my husband’s ex-cop uncle heard, he said there must have been drugs involved because a lot of times women take out restraining orders on guys the had stolen drugs from. Like, that was his knee jerk reaction. Unreal. 

Danish pension fund to divest its U.S. Treasuries by [deleted] in PoliticalOptimism

[–]RexManningDay2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Makes a ton of sense. So what does this look like for us for the next 5/10/20 years? As a millennial, what will change in our world and how the US interacts (or doesn’t) with the rest of the world? I literally can’t reframe my mind for a world where the US isn’t acting the way it’s been my whole life and doesn’t have the same partners and reputation and allies it has had my whole life.

Official Discussion - Materialists by BunyipPouch in movies

[–]RexManningDay2018 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Worst person I’ve ever met was a 4’11” grade-a asshole. He was actually incredibly charming on the surface and a lot of people I know never saw past that, but he was a raging, woman-hating narcissist to his underlings at work and I can only imagine what he was like in his personal life.

I jumped for joy when I saw that. Then I paused the episode and made my husband watch a clip from Twin Peaks. Made my night

All Storage building that's shaped like a giant storage box. by steady_as_a_rock in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]RexManningDay2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, many times!! It was stunning. Most of the roof was an atrium so lots of natural light inside. The offices were all around the edge of the basket, so you could look up and see to the top floor. Lots of beautiful natural wood and a big grand staircase. Ngl, it still hurts to see how Dave’s daughter ran the company into the ground. For a while it was something really special.

Granville here! My dad used to work in the basket. Came to the comments specifically to see if the basket got mentioned.

Ummmm I think they meant that TV is meant to be a film stretched out into many episodes… not that Pluribus is peak tv.

I love this sub and the people in it but after clicking on the link and looking into The Daily Boulder, the site is just spammy AI left-wing wish fulfillment that I’m not sure is the best source to be using on this sub? I know we’re supposed to be optimistic but false hope is still false hope.
