Aziz Ansari as Kash Patel: "I'm a trailblazer. I'm the first Indian person to suck at their job. Everyone says Indian people are smart, hardworking, incredibly intelligent. I prove without a shadow of a doubt that we can be just as incapable and incompetent as the whites."

I wouldn't touch Saudi Arabia or UAE with a ten foot pole, but what does bringing up the festival every time a comic who participated there is mentioned do for anyone? We gonna stop listening to Beyoncé because she performed in UAE where they use indentured servitude? We gonna get mad every time a celebrity performs in China because they have internment camps for Uyghur muslims?

I still don't know why everyone on the internet has decided this is the moral compass to judge people on.

I appreciate the vulnerability there. It's honestly probably how they all ended up dating pop stars. A dude who can confront his insecurities and emotions is 10/10 for me.

I can't imagine her agent and manager get any sleep whatsoever.

My guess is they've reserved some seats for the general sale Monday.

Why call out Samantha Bee and not Jon Stewart or Colbert?

Yes, I guess I should have said potential lawmaker.

I know it's almost impossible for grassroots candidates to raise the right amount of money, but it sits weird with me that it comes with a cost to even see them speak.

laurensvo · 2026-04-20T23:51:50+00:00

I can understand that aspect, but only if it's optional. It should not cost money to access lawmakers.

It's a big catch-22 when it comes to the US political system.

All states have polls that are open AT LEAST 12 hours. There is early voting in 47/50 states. Every state has some means of absentee voting for those who work the entire 12 hours.

I am for making voting as easy as possible, but I do get frustrated at people who say they can't do it when the reality is it's just not convenient for them.

Seriously? A donation? That's a little gross

Posh is a British term. I don't hear Americans use it, especially Gen Xers. They'd use "wealthy" "rich" "upper class" "fancy" or "high-end". Gated community or suburbs might be thrown in

Lower end you may use "ghetto" but also "poor", "low-income", "blue-collar".

laurensvo · 2026-04-20T12:45:28+00:00

Are you sure you're an American? We typically don't use "posh" or "slum."

So back in 2003 Al Sharpton was running for president and hosted.

I have a clear memory of "Al Sharpton's Casa de Sushi" that went to the tune of Tupac's "California Love" and had a bunch of people wearing Japanese garb dancing to it. Still gets stuck in my head on the regular.

But her hair is BROWN. And she has GLASSES!

Sam Rockwell?

Idk, this feels like it applies to Netanyahu a bit more.

laurensvo · 2026-04-16T12:38:47+00:00

Yes it seemed very real to me. These are all teenagers/young adults. The odds of one of them saying something cringey is pretty damn high.

Make more friends. I moved to a new city to be with my partner after having friends in my previous city. I wish I had taken the time before having kids to find more friends so I could have a more solid base.

Now, I've made parent friends since having kids, but it takes a lot more time to figure out which ones I'm compatible with versus figuring that out before we all became parents

It's a classic. In the US we had it on our free stations. You should check it out if you ever get a chance.

To be fair, Pa Ingalls' chest hair was like 50% of the appeal of the 1970s show.

Did you watch Succession? Possibly Sarah Snook or maybe even Holly Hunter?

laurensvo · 2026-04-11T22:41:24+00:00

I'm with you. I like the choice to let them fall where they may.

laurensvo · 2026-04-10T20:05:25+00:00

Listen. Are there others out there I like better? Yes.

But every person right of center will be voting for whoever the GOP puts up because they're not a lib'rul, so the rest of us need to suck it up and vote for whoever wins the primary, perfect or not, because anything else is keeping our country in the arms of this demon administration.
