I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

"Morning Shoe" sounds like an early era Tom Waits song.

Watched the latest episode of The Morning Show last night.
Spoiler: show
Looks like Cory is about to be outed. And is Alex about to fall victim to the opioid crisis? I don’t remember it showing us anything about injuring her back.

It is. Up to 4 or 5 episodes now.

But Mrs Wease and I just started it not long ago.

I really want to like this, and will continue, but I feel like the first 3 episodes could’ve been 1-1.5 episodes. The character development isn’t good enough for us to be almost 3 hours in and they’re still kind of setting the stage. I’m a sucker for this type of stuff tho, so I’m hooked either way.

Yeah we’ll see where the next one goes. I’m most intrigued with the soldier’s story and the family in New York. But now I’m curious about the ending with that Japanese girl last episode

This week's episode was more of the same, although we caught a split second of what I assume is an alien.

Also, I wish more of you were watching Foundation. It is fantastic. Almost like The Expanse with a bigger budget.
