Have now fanned out to a more general Quality Thrillers Of The '90s Film Festival. Image
Wow, that is *baby* Jane Lynch. Image
Okay, am taking suggestions for additional Trenchcoat Thrillers.
Wow, I had no idea he *existed* before he was grizzled. #sneakers Image
I miss every movie this beautiful kid never made. #sneakers Image

I want to talk about producers for a minute. Specifically, producers of roundtables like @pchh, whose jobs are maybe less understood than producers of narrative shows that involve extensive sound design and scripting.
Our producers do a huge number of things that make the show possible. They are an integral part of our planning meetings. They pitch ideas for things we should cover. They pitch guests we could invite. They provide crucial perspectives on things they have expertise about.
They do our booking. That means, in our case, arranging a time when up to four panelists, who are sometimes not only in different time zones but in different countries, can all do it at the same time. As needed, they troubleshoot tech for people recording at home or book studios.

One of the things they get at in this episode is that the vast majority of popular relationship self-help is aimed at straight women. And one reason these books work when written by men is that women hope it will help to have their feelings backed up by a man with authority.
But often what happens is that there’s a little of that (“yes, you should indulge your wife’s little expectations, like kindness and drying dishes”) combined with a lot of undermining bullshit (“stop being a NAG”).
And what women walk away with is a continuing feeling that the relationship is a job they have that their husbands can be persuaded to help with if wooed correctly. Like the dishes.

Today I made this apple cake soaked in a literal cup of bourbon. It was delicious and tasted exactly like a good cake soaked in a cup of bourbon. If it had had *any* more, it would have been too much. It was maximum bourbon.
I poured the bourbon (and sugar and butter) glaze over the cake with it still in the Bundt pan and I thought, “This is not going to soak in. It’s too much! I’ve flown too close to the sun!” But no. Almost! But no.
I would be tempted to start the day tomorrow with a taste of it at breakfast with some coffee, but that’s really too early to drink on a Monday.

A thread for the garden people.

My backyard. Please ignore the cluttered patio. I need to straighten up the patio furniture situation.
My plant identification app finds a combo of nettles, Kentucky bluegrass and shepherd’s purse.
When they first put in the trees, I failed miserably and assumed I had killed them all. But I didn’t. The dogwood is alive!

This has such a particular feel to it, where people with power get hung up on the offense they take at *defiance*.
“If we make exceptions, we will teach that there are no rules at all” is a ridiculous position to take. Basically all rules have exceptions. As is pointed out in the piece, the normal result of backing out of an agreement is compensating the other party.
And particularly where minors are involved, the law has always recognized that they may change their minds! There is probably a letter-of-the-law justification for how this went down, but in principle, “a deal is a deal” is not typically enforced against kids.
