There's nothing left to synthesize My brain is done, can't improvise How do you spin when blank and dim Can only brood on short-term whims Can't forge a copy to erase I've grown so tired from the chase to find a place within this mess Guess wasn't meant for permanence

So many people saying that Jess (Mr. "Employee of the Month") should have been in the Walmart commercial, and... I get it! It would be lovely to see him! See a little call-back to that storyline! But...

Please... that man is 40 years old now! 😭 PLEASE let him keep his successful and fulfilling career at an independent book press in a different state! He's FREE! The only way he'd be getting an employee discount NOW is if he were working at Walmart NOW. 😭 Do NOT send that beautiful 40-year-old man back to Retail Hell, I BEG YOU!!! 😭😭😭

Although, if you HAD to include him, the only concession (this whole thing is already a concession, mind you, haha) I might allow would be if they showed Jess sitting at a desk or at a book signing or something, a pair of sexy reading glasses perched on his nose, on the phone with Luke and saying, "Yeah, I called in a favor for you." ...and cut to the break room at Walmart where there's still a framed photo of teenage Jess on the wall, with a little brass placard underneath saying "the Greatest Forklift Driver Walmart Has Ever Seen" or something. I don't know. 😂

I love in cow magazines when they talk about top prices and impressive genetics and whatnot and it’s all such cool dude powerful language but then the photo of the animal is just on no level matching the vibe of the spiel, like

He doesn’t know he’s worth $150,000 AUD. He doesn’t know he broke an Australian record. He’s just a guy.

Obsessed with the tags on this post especially the ones that didn’t know cow magazines existed. Cattle breed associations are some of the best organised breed clubs of any animal. They run so many ads in the paper. They have multiple magazines every year. They host official events. Their websites are fantastic. They have offical merch.

Claire's End

Just a thought. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I have a feeling the Claire saga might end with Claire freaking out to Carmy about Carmy not doing what she wants. And there will be an audience. And that way Richie, Tiff, the Faks will see she's another Donna. Carmy's arch will be him making his own decision(s) for once. And it won't be her. She'll be pissy. Donna pissy. I'm not sure if this means he'll chose Syd. But I'm crossing my fingers.

Also, Jess and Syd parallel each other in the sense that they are each positive influences that are outside the Berzattos, the Beef, and the Bear. Looking towards the future. Not the past.

So, Richie and Carmy, regardless if it is romantic, do have positive people that care about them a whole lot.

[ciaomarie]

Yes!! I hope they show the true Claire so clearly that the already mildly repulsed general audience and the blind ones can finally see why their dynamic was so weird. My antipathy to Claire is not about Sydney. The relationship from start to finish gave me the ick, primarily because Carmy didn't hold his boundaries, experienced so much anxiety during the relationship, had to convinced to DTR and idealized her instead of really getting to know her. With Sydney, Carmy could breathe and be himself.

i think there's lot more beauty in trying than some may think. there is beauty in trying to make others feel understood, in trying to make others feel seen, in trying to make others feel loved. effort means a lot.
