We've begun rewatching The Good Place. I'll be live tweeting it as if it were a sport, but it's so much better because it's funny and encourages us to be good to each other. https://twitter.com/jovenitti/status/1238212053585846278
Also, there will be spoilers. So if you haven't finished at least the first season, mute this thread.

"Congratulations, Chidi, you just filibustered recess."
"I'm just a girl, towering over a boy, asking him to admit he loves me."

"Jacksonville! It's easily one of the top 10 swamp cities in northeastern Florida."
"Is you name Chidi? I knew you weren't a soup!"
"Hey robot slave lady? Busty Alexa?"

"Oh no! I died in...Cleveland?"
"Why are you embarrassed by the fact that we're pounding it out."
"Teaching him to be good is like teaching me to be not hot. How would you even do it!?"
"If it weren't crazy, they wouldn't call it a leap of faith. They'd call it a sit of doubting."
"We're about to do the most human thing of all: Attempt something futile, with a ton of unearned confidence, and fail spectacularly!"
"Oranges don't make sense! Apples, you eat their clothes...but oranges, you don't?"
Eleanor: "One of those diagonal word belts."

"In America, everyone does whatever they want. Society did break down. It's terrible, and it's great. You only scream at whoever disagrees with you. There are no bees because they all died, and if you need surgery, you just beg for money on the internet. It's a perfect system."

The Janets episode is so good. But it was probably not the best idea to watch when I'm already mad.
Now I'm even more mad that D'Arcy Carden got snubbed. She's a national treasure and deserves 6 Emmys for this episode.

"The fair thing for us to do is just keep on giving up more and more stuff we want, unilaterally, until this demon is finally happy!"
