"One Gremlin, Hold the Ice" Clip
WHY did they have to wait for bloody MIDNIGHT to talk about the jinx?
That was the first thought Wheeler had when Theodore woke him for the team meeting, followed naturally by-
“God motherfucking dammit, Theo! I was dreaming of racing against Mittens!”
“It’s time to prepare the Ellie jinx.”
“Do we have to?”
“YEAH! Raven said we have to jinx her at 1am!” Theodore insisted. “Right here, in the file-” “Stop waving the file in my face.” Emily snatched it, then read it. “Time checks out.”

One thing that i've seen people point out on twitter and it is very meaningful is just how it was very evident that Olivia and Elliot co parenting Eli are much more in sync and functional than he and Kathy ever were as parents when Kathleen and Dickie were in trouble on 1.0, I mean of course it's clear in this years Elliot has shown growth, he no longer reacts so much with anger and instead offers total support to Eli, but when you look at him on those episodes he and Kathy always disagreed on how to deal with their kids, they even had fights about it but Olivia grounds Elliot, she knows him, can read him completely and backs his play, intervenes when needed, and even takes over when he's not able to, we saw her doing it before but now it was so much clear how much connected they are even after 10 years apart. And the fact that Elliot finally is free to rely on her openly, ask her to be inside the room and not looking through the other side and that Liv just steps into that role is such a testament to their union and trust, really beautiful. I hope we see more interaction of EO this way, and between Eli and Liv because it would be very interesting. Also on a separate matter how cool it was that EO had a lunch with Kathleen and Dickie, the two of El's kids who were more in trouble and who had more interaction with Liv as his dad's partner. I wonder how that casual reunion went, I imagine it was an interesting meeting.
I think it's important to remember that a lot of the time when elliot and kathy disagreed about how to handle their kids he was being unnecessarily angry, or aggressive, or just over the top, and kathy had to pull him back. and crucially they are also kathy's kids, and so she has a right to have a say in how to raise them, unlike liv, who cares for them but isn't their mother and whose real allegiance is to elliot. so i don't really think it's fair on kathy to be like "well olivia gives elliot his head with the kids" bc 1) of course she does they're his children not hers and 2) the interactions we've seen with liv and el dealing with eli are wildly different than like, elliot unilaterally deciding to keep maureen trapped in her room for days on end instead of working with kathy to come up with a plan for dealing with her, or almost hitting dickie in the squad room like. yeah ok kathy didn't see that one but that man, that angry, knee-jerk reaction man is someone she had to live with, while liv is sort of darting in and out of his parenting of his children.
that being said it is so good to see them working together, and to see liv being in the room, as you said. for him to know he can rely on her, to be willing to ask for help, is huge. and it is sweet they all got to go out to lunch, given olivia's connection to Kathleen and Dickie.

ALTERNATIVE STYLE ICON: JAWN FETTERMAN
by Réginald-Jérôme de Mans
I often spare a thought for my friend, fellow cat lover and erstwhile Elliot Richardson impersonator Derek Guy, who founded a blog called Die, Workwear! and now writes extensively about the wonkiest of workwear, himself sporting Japanese versions more authentic than the originals.
It is easy to write about gestures. About a particular pose that readers can infer stands for sincerity or that authenticity. In that manner, I could write paragraph about paragraph about John Fetterman, the 6’8” tall, imposing and intimidating lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania.  He posed for his official portrait in a Dickie’s work shirt, the better to suggest he was down to earth and up for any job, no matter how unglamorous. He had his arm tattooed with the dates of each murder that occurred while he was mayor of the post-industrial town of Braddock! He spurned the official residence of the lieutenant governor to live in a converted car dealership with his wife, a former undocumented immigrant. He punctuates Twitter with the occasional pithy tweet and seems to make most of his appearances in jackets from Carhartt, another no-nonsense workwear brand.
Writers always seek a narrative, and in a profile they often tie together a series of such evocative points – mere details --  in an attempt to suggest something deeper about a subject. Without insight and investigation, though, the result can be as empty as the inside of any connect-the-dots game.  There is more to John Fetterman, a man whose momentary Twitter handle, Jawn Fetterman, hinted he’s aware of his meta-workwear style icon status. Derek has pointed out that Fetterman paired his Dickie’s shirts with the high-fashion chops of Martin Margiela side-zip boots. In other words, his embrace of workwear involves some calculation and a broader sense of how to appear
Fetterman himself has stated that he led a “privileged” childhood in York, Pennsylvania, although his parents had not come from money. He holds a graduate degree in public policy from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. As such, his workwear outfits and plain speaking could simply be performative: gestures used to telegraph a pose and to pander while the gesturer upholds the status quo and furthers his own ambitions. He could be like any of the other heavily credentialed miscreants Harvard, Princeton and Stanford seem to pride themselves on producing (After Howard Hunt, Brown instead produced mostly harmless preening dandies.)…  We always risk deluding ourselves when someone seems to look a part, to answer to easy expectations. It was a slippery slope to slide from politicians wearing flag pins to literally embracing the American flag on a stage, a gesture of stunning emptiness except for those who wanted to believe.
However, so far Fetterman has shown dedication to practice, not just performance. His degree at Harvard came after work in public service helping students earning GEDs; after Harvard he put his degree and his convictions to work in a struggling town where he continued to teach (even while serving as mayor), reclaimed and renovated houses, and opened community centers.  Some of the daring positions he took (such as officiating a same-sex wedding before it was legal, and his current stance on pot legalization in Pennsylvania) certainly have helped raise his stature. However, much else that he’s done, including expressing what seem like realistic assessments of large sections of the American electorate between the coasts, and plans to help them, seems sincere, intelligent and public-spirited. For this moment, at the very least, let him be the Alternative Style Icon we need, if not the one that we deserve: expressively gigantic, self-aware, able to rip an interlocutor to shreds with his gritty wit or his bare hands, a new national presence providing some blessed change…

England 57-14 Italy – PLAYER RATINGS: Manu Tuilagi looks lean and mean in convincing Six Nations win
England 57-14 Italy – PLAYERS FIGURES: Manu Tuilagi looks skinny and mean while Joe Cokanasiga has the power to convince Six Nations
England hammered Italy 57- 14 thanks to attempts by Manu Tuilagi and Brad Shields
were the star performers as England riots ran through
Simon Mills for MailOnline
Published: 20:05 GMT, March 9, 2019 | Updated: 20:07 GMT, March 9, 2019
England recorded a comprehensive 57-14 Six Nations victory over Italy on Saturday afternoon. Manu Tuilagi and Brad Shields
SIMON MILLS of Sportsmail leads the rulers over the top performers after England was on its way to victory at Twickenham.
Manu Tuilagi walked fiercely around the telling effect of the Italy defeated
ENGLAND RATINGS
Elliot Daly 7 : Sizzling pause to set up May's attempt and without any trouble through Italy in defense. One misplaced kick but stylish in all the time.
Joe Cokanasiga 8: Too much power for Italy and threat of unloading could add an extra dimension to the building of England in relation to the World Cup.
Manu Tuilagi 8: Quiet in Cardiff.
Ben Te & # 39; o 7: solid return after injury
Ben Te & # 39; o 7: solid return after injury – littered season. A favorite of Jones, but still questions about the balance of the side of the midfield, no matter how many tackles he makes.
Jonny 7 May: A 13th try in 14 games and passed Josh Lewsey to become the seventh on The most recent list of England
Owen Farrell 7: An easy ride behind a dominant pack. Almost flawless kick and some solid blows in defense.
Ben Youngs 7: England will be the most fallen scrum half half against Scotland and his 84th test performance was lively. Could not stop Allan for Italy's attempt.
Ellis Genge 7: See a straight shoot-out with Ben Moon for one of the last places on the plane to Japan. Feisty and hard strokes here
Jamie George 8: Have shown all his qualities in tight and loose form – pushing the scrum of England forward and throwing a neat run for the second attempt of Tuilagi
Kyle Sinckler 8: No temperamental problems at Twickenham. Important dynamic carrier, furiously vocal through it and even got a neat kick away in the first half
Brad Shields seized his chance in the absence of Mark Wilson, scored two attempts
Joe Launchbury 7: is behind the more dynamic Itoje and Lawes slipped the pecking order, but ruled the line-out and awarded the tackle count
George Kruis 8: Unprepared but effective collapse work, double-factor counting, line-out organization and an accusation for a rare attempt.
Brad Shields 7: Great opportunity in the absence of Mark Wilson and everywhere efficient. Energy support gave him his first two English attempts.
Tom Curry 7: Another hyperactive performance of the find of England of the season. Hardly tackled, annoyed in bad luck, active in support.
Billy Vunipola 7: Big responsibility with missing key people and I took the burden on me by wearing hard in the middle and along the edges.
Luke Cowan-Dickie (for George)
Dan Cole (for Sinckler 55) Ben (before Genge 59) overshadowed by Genge's performance 7 ) Brief on dynamics in rare outings Nathan Hughes (for Launchbury 68) One high hit, competitive ] 6 56) Hard work and hard work as always Dan Robson (for Youngs 61) A long-lost 19-minute run-out and well-taken try George Slade (for Tuilagi 62) Little opportunities Edoardo Padovani ITALY RATINGS
Jayden Hayward 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 Abraham Sergio ]
Substitutions Leonardo Ghiraldini (for Bigi 49) 6 Cherif Traore (for Parisse 62) Guglielmo Palazzani (for Ferrari 49) 7 7 7 for M orisi)

"How Do We Explain This One?" Clip
Niji just growled, waking up slightly. If he had a voice, he’d have told the video to fuck itself.
Pixel peaked in, motioning him over. “C’mere. The snoring’s ruining the plan.” Niji sighed as he exited the room. Bedtime brainwashing. Of course.
“Before you ask, it’s not bedtime brainwashing. It’s subliminal messaging.”
*BLINK BLINK*
“ASMR but brainwashing.”
Niji had a look of ‘I still don’t get it, but fine…’
“If only you can talk. The point is, we need your therapy anyways. Let’s get to the others.”
A sigh. Niji sighed a second time, rubbing his throat.
“You want me to wildcard your throat?” Pixel snarked.
He blinked. CAN you do that?
“I was being sarcastic…look. It’s…it’s a bit hard to understand, I’m sorry.”
Niji rolled his eyes, signing ‘it’s okay’.
“Thanks, bud. C’mon. Let’s get to Pika and Lumi.”
