Ayo was born and raised in Boston. I have no idea how my mother is aware of that.

My mother asked me about the latest Luca film starring "The Bear."

She meant Ayo Edebiri because you know my mother doesn't care about the white dude.

Baby was wearing a plaid skirt, a pink cardigan over a white, collared shirt, and oxblood boots.

Got a picture of the baby in my family of her in a cute outfit for her first picture day at Pre-K.

My mother said that the baby is like all of us in that she loves a good outfit.

The first time I ever stepped into the Pacific was near that pier. And then I ate some lovely/horrible amusement park food.

Angela Bassett would never be in something that was bad bad.

Also, I like turning into that Leo meme from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood whenever I recognize where they are in Los Angeles.

Although I might never ride on the ferris wheel at Santa Monica Pier now.

I've watched a lot of 9-1-1 since my interest was piqued by the beenado that opened S8.

And yes, it can be silly at times (aka a lot of the time), but the struggles of the characters are very grounded.

Both shows are ridiculous, but I actually care about the characters on 9-1-1.

I've watched the season premiere of 9-1-1. I'm shocked it took them nine seasons to go to space.

Didn't that happen in like S3 of The Morning Show?

My bagels are currently for me to eat with the smoked salmon I get from Trader Joe's.

My mother has found a new way of finding out if I'm dating. She sent me a trio of fancy jams. When I thanked her for them, she said they were for guests who might want things to put on a bagel.

No, I currently don't have morning "guests," mother.

I love reading history books and watching history documentaries, so this is my thing.

This country generally ignores fascists until the last possible moment if they even acknowledge them at all.

One of the many things that I've learned from listening to You Must Remember This is the fact that a number of people brought before HUAC were accused of being "prematurely anti-facist" because they realized that the Nazis were awful before this country started fighting them.

These are the things you pick up on when you've watched a lot of rom-coms.

So the kiss was a bad idea, but River gives her A Look before it and does that thing where his eyes flick down to her lips right before the kiss, which is very hot.

But then maybe anyone who chooses to be in Mi5 initially just has brain worms that make them want to stay no matter what.

I've been rewatching some of the previous seasons recently, and how S3 ended made me wonder if at least one person would have resigned.

Especially when she mentioned that you are probably also depressed.

Kissing a woman unprompted after she gives an "I'm depressed" speech is just...

I mean, these two definitely have "let's bone" energy, but River absolutely does not know how to read a room or a moment.

River has done many stupid things during this series, but kissing Louisa in that moment during the S5 premiere might be the stupidest thing he's ever done.
