You Know . . .

This wouldn’t be a bad Mama Dance. Must confess that the news I most want to hear is along these lines.

Nooooo, just no 😍🫠

A post shared by Zawe Ashton (@zawe)

Zawe just shared a quick word to relate empathy for the plight of moms in Gaza after it's been confirmed that there are famine conditions there. So, I'll just do my part and link my personal favorite charity that serves Gaza and other underserved places on the planet with good meals: https://wck.org/donate

I Don’t ❤️ Heart (Except the Wilson Sisters’ Version)

They saw Tom coming. That mike puff (the foamy microphone cover) is the biggest clue. It inspired devilment. They knew his shot would be framed with a heart shape similar to that notorious tank top he innocently wore and got dragged for.

It proves that saying that we have no real control over what happens to us, but we can control our response to what happens. Tom didn’t take the bait and Karen gave all Karens a shining moment (Scottish Karens must be more socially adept). The promo proceeded normally and even amiably, considering it started out as a total gotcha moment.

I really have to laugh at loser Nasummer22 pitiful attempt at looking like a true fan when she posts shit like this.

Tom is a tennis fan. A well known fact among his fans. He's also a brand ambassador for Ralph Lauren who pays to have seats at Wimbledon. It wasn't a networking event, it was Tom and Zawe taking advantage of an opportunity. But hey, since when has facts matter to people like her.

Let's face it, what tiggered her is the fact that Tom said he has a son. With a black woman. Her MAGA ass simply can't accept it. Unfortunatly for her, she'll have to deal with the fact that they have 2 kids now. Judging by Tom's glow at last night Q&A, I'm guessing the baby is born.

Suffering for Art’s Sake

At the Pinter on Pinter event, Zawe and Tom’s reading of the scene from Betrayal seemed fateful enough. But it’s probably not well known that Tom received a deep paper cut while performing the scene. Note the bandaged thumb. This shot is often cropped.

Period Pieces Weekend: The Power of Woman-Driven Storytelling in The Gilded Age

We end season 3 with the society’s most powerful woman. Yet she paid a huge cost that she is only just realizing. But as it goes in these matters, tomorrow is another day.

Period Pieces Weekend: The Power of Woman-Driven Storytelling in The Gilded Age

“The Gilded Age” is a story chock full of formidable women facing a variety of major challenges. Looking forward to meeting many of them again on their respective continuing journeys. Don’t know when that will be because you can’t hustle a bustle. Confident that when we continue it will have been worth the wait.

Gilded Age Finale Spoilery Thoughts

George is self-medicating with laudanum, the most literary of opiates. His last scene with Bertha echoed Rhett and Scarlett’s last scene in GWTW. George was over it.

Shoot, the New York Heritage Society needed to have more than a job offer for Agnes. Hoping her money is restored at some point. It was a movingly earned moment when she gave Ada her seat at the head of the table.

Mrs. Scott cussed out Mrs. Kirkland without actually using curse words. Epic. And her husband and son didn’t hold back, either. Rev. Kirkland had to indignantly call his wife “Woman” to make his disapproval clear.

Peggy seeing William and that sudden slow-motion effect was a swooning moment. It was a portrayal of Black love that was breathtaking.

Yes, Black wealth was always a thing, especially when a community was allowed to flourish. Black people been knew. And depictions of it do exist (such as 1997’s Eve’s Bayou and 2010’s Jumping the Broom movies and the 1998 miniseries “The Wedding” based on Harlem Renaissance author Dorothy West’s book) but aren’t as grand and mainstream as this one.

Larian is back. But lying to “protect” someone is still some b.s. It seems the Russell men are prone to sulkiness when their women’s thinking don’t align with theirs.

The prospective lavender marriage between Oscar and Mrs. Winterton hints at heaps of messiness to come.

This episode was filmed and pretty much done before Gilded Age got the go-ahead for Season 4. So maybe a lot more was resolved than would have been.

The GA drought begins! Everyone knows it’s going to take 18 months to make a new batch of falumphy costumes.
