re: First timer in New Orleans

Locals may turn their nose up a little bit, but a cup of gumbo and crab cakes at the bar at Mr. B’s is great, quick, and easy. Also breakfast at Brennans is top notch..

Was that the episode where everyone yelled at each other to create fake-arse drama? All the characters in that show need a hysterectomy .

Previews look interesting. I'm curious to see how they handle that fact that expectations about technology in common future use are very different than those that arrived and our updated expectations about tech in the future. I guess jacking in is part of that, but I have to think it would be a neuralink type connection.

Park Bistro has a very good restaurant burger. Judice Inn can be a great diner burger, but sometimes they over-handle the meat and it gets spongy.

Never ask questions about The Bear. Pretentiousness deserves no questions. Those writers loved smelling their own farts.


It's easily the worst highly rated show in my lifetime.

The first three seasons of FAM are unbeatable. After that it turns into Knots Landing in Space.
The Moors are retaking Spain after a few hundred years.

I felt the same way. Enjoyed it, but the returning vet PTSD stuff is not really working through the adventure episodes. It just shows up at the end to explain why he spent 7 years fricking Charlize Theron on a beach.
Another version of this list is which movie won over a movie that is now seen as an all-time classic. The canonical example is How Green Was My Valley winning over Citizen Kane.
Not a movie, but I thought Your Honor did well by New Orleans.
Actively avoid movies about my profession because they get so much wrong about how things really work.

Would Depends on a 60-year old do it for her? Asking for a friend.
Textbook example of the Retarded Protagonist. This woman is the dumbest bitch alive. "I just blew someone's head off. Let me get my two useless fact-checker bros from my 'zine to go Encyclopedia Brown on this shite." Show is pretty fun despite that. Great music.
It's a great show. Almost all of the characters do what a normal person would do in the situation, yet things get very complicated and suspenseful regardless.. The daughter storyline is bad and boring.

Yes, but what specifically don't you like about the gumbo? For a dark roux, restaurant style gumbo, I think it's excellent.

re: Lindsey Graham, 71, is dead

Graham seemed a nice enough guy for a politician but he was the type of dude who had all the red meat talking points, spouted them off with bombast, and then did nothing about them. He did this for decades. Tuned him out a while back. Sad that he never felt he could come out of the closet.
