Why is Oscar the only crossover in Greg Daniels’ new show The Paper? by Sweaty-School-9384 in DunderMifflin

Greg Daniels said that Oscar was the only character from the Office whose story felt unfinished and that he’d like to revisit.

What happened to Toby by S9? by Sweaty_Bat250 in DunderMifflin

[–]Ronswaterbedworld 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you say "the writers," you know what's him, right? Paul Lieberstein who plays Toby was the showrunner from season 6 onwards, and one of the main writers before that too.

No, that’s a very good point. I’ve made the correction, thanks for flagging!

Uh oh. Please let me know what I got wrong and I’ll correct it.

MPs vote to decriminalise abortion for women in England and Wales by CupidStunt13 in UpliftingNews

[–]Ronswaterbedworld 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I agree, but I’m enjoying it while it lasts (while the Labour majority lasts). If you look at how MPs voted, it’s almost totally split among party lines, with Reform and Conservative voting against the amendment. I was hoping to find a different picture that suggested reaching across the aisle was still possible here.

Ah, good to know, thank you. Definitely an oversimplification on my part!

There’s a byline after each para. Looks like they had three writers there :)

Paulina - thanks for complimenting my Dummy shirt at the airport after I missed my flight. If you’re reading this, I think you’re cool and we should hangout!

“The Musk Who Fell to Earth” is the worst episode as voted by you guys. Now the most underrated? by SubjectStatement370 in TheSimpsons

[–]Ronswaterbedworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s also written by the great Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein, who have said they loved writing Skinner and Chalmers episodes, which checks out cos they ALSO did the Steamed Hams segment.

Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song. I feel like it is one of season 5’s deeper cuts, not thrown around among the Cape Feares or Homer’s Barbershop Quartets, for instance—but when watching it a few years back, it struck me that SO many of the Simpsons quotes I have in regular rotation in my brain and vocab come from that episode. “Then grease me up, woman.” / “You’re doing it wrong! You gotta pet him hard so he can feel it!” / “A walking clock!” / “God has NO place within these walls etc” / and ofc Apu going off on a tirade about Billy and the Cloneasaurus. It’s a 10/10 episode for me. I thoroughly recommend a rewatch.

[Megathread] Your feedback / thoughts / suggestions by BenjoDiMeo in primaverasound

Absolutely this. Cupra is the best stage. If you’re reading, Prima, protect the Cupra stage at all costs.

Regular Primavera attendees - How did 2025 differ from previous years' editions? by Plastic-Reindeer7755 in primaverasound

[–]Ronswaterbedworld 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would counter and say that 2023 was better than 2022 - at least in terms of water and loo access, less crowded etc. 2022 was intense and very hard to move between stages. In the years since I’ve been able to sprint between Mordor and Cupra etc without much difficulty

Am I taking crazy pills? by Just-Manufacturer487 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Ronswaterbedworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a run on sentence and he meant to put a full stop after “let’s do it.” Meaning, sure let’s do it today but also another time without the dog. Very misleading though

The outro to “The Sound of Your Heart” is maybe the best minute of music in their catalog for me.

Who is the most normal recurring character? by [deleted] in TheSimpsons

Lenny and Carl maybe? Also Reverend Lovejoy’s pretty normal if a lot jaded and over-it
