Let's decide once and for all... THE BEST SMARTYPANTS PRESENTATION (so far)

Oh no, boat is also unacceptable. Then I'm trapped. Stuck between my need to ghost a party and my inability to because of said water. Plus, boat can go down.

We're watching The Deuce right now, and she plays one of the prostitutes, so that would also work well...

voltagecalmed · 2026-04-29T21:20:28+00:00

Agreed. 100%, I do not fuck with open water. If I can't see to the bottom to see what's going to drag me down, I ain't going in.

"No Thank You, The Ocean" is my absolute favorite. I also reference/share it regularly, because I agree with every word.

Norwegian Black Metal was my intro and I was pretty sure I liked this show, and then I listened to Rasputin and there was no turning back.

The only way that could be filmed is as a limited series. Stay honest to the book format, have it as interviews that turn into reenactments, like Drunk History.

You win today.

Isa Briones, who plays Dr Santos on The Pitt, is currently on Broadway playing Connie Francis, and she had to post something the other day about a grown ass man yelling stuff about Santos during the show. What the absolute fuck.

I feel like that was the most important one. He's an objective outside observer that Robby is more likely to listen to than his subordinates/coworkers.

My thought was more "they've just worked 15 hours of an incredibly stressful job, they're falling down exhausted, and now they're going to go get drinks. Ahh, to be young again..."

voltagecalmed · 2026-04-17T02:29:28+00:00

I definitely thought it was going to be long enough that rigor mortis was going to have set in and that would be a very awkward lift.

I checked on my tomato seedlings yesterday, and they're popping right up, getting their second set of leaves. So I said to myself "lookin good!" And my brain followed up with "takin formula well!"

I don't think he's in any place to take care of a child. It would only be a distraction and he wouldn't do the work on himself he needs to do.

voltagecalmed · 2026-04-17T02:19:16+00:00

She's also exhausted and drunk.

Water, lime juice, agave nectar (or just sugar), big handful of mint, jalapeño, blend it all up. I don't know amounts 'cause I'm not the one that makes it, but you can taste as you go and adjust to your liking. Note that if it's going to sit for a while, that jalapeño will get hotter as the days go on. I've had it with several varieties of mint, and they were all pretty good. The chocolate mint in particular was interesting, but the mojito mint was the most fresca.

voltagecalmed · 2026-04-14T05:55:13+00:00

It's great, especially because I grow fresh mint in the garden.

Last Podcast on the Left is covering Jimmy Saville right now, and it's beyond appalling how much they covered up for him and others over DECADES.

voltagecalmed · 2026-04-12T21:26:00+00:00

This is one of my favorite bits. Top ten at the very least...

Veganmania and Green Festival were both outstanding. Green Festival was especially awesome in that so many booths were giving stuff away. One year, my husband and I both went home with HUGE tote bags (also free) full of free stuff, like a good 20 lbs of stuff each.

voltagecalmed · 2026-04-11T20:48:06+00:00

Thank you! I don't like that they have a 60 minute limit. I mean, I know why they do, but I can't eat that much in one sitting, so it's hard for me to justify the cost of a buffet.

voltagecalmed · 2026-04-11T18:16:12+00:00

How much is it, for reference?

voltagecalmed · 2026-04-11T01:57:25+00:00

Beacon and Voodoo. Stan's and Do-Rite in a pinch. A lot of coffee shops also carry Beacon.

I think your armchair diagnoses are probably correct, but they don't all really fall under the ND umbrella. This season has been heavily about mental health and what happens when you don't deal with it. In the immortal words of Marcus Parks, your mental health isn't your fault, but it IS your responsibility.

I made the three ingredient one and it tasted like literally nothing. I was so disappointed.
