Zoë Schiffer: I did. I did, and I learn a very, actually scary article written by Annie Lowrey in The Atlantic about dairy farming, and it radicalized me for at the very least 24 hours. I used to be on oat milk. Thank you. I do not need a prize.

It is filled with intercourse and violence and humor. It’s quite a lot of enjoyable. Fantastic performing from the entire principal actors, and there are like a dozen folks on the present who’re actually, actually nice. I extremely advocate you return and also you watch True Blood. It was initially on tv, what, 15 years in the past? Something like that. It seems like perpetually in the past.
