I love how in season 2, Peggy is just so tired of dealing with Jack that she doesn't even bother being sassy with him anymore. She's got him figured out: He's a good guy who gets insecure and makes bad decisions. There isn't much she can really do about that. That's how we get their scene in 2x08 where he's expecting Peggy to get argumentative and try to defend herself, and she just bypasses all of that and gets to the root of the problem.

"You're willing to believe any phlegm Vernon coughs up on paper because you're worried I would betray your trust. I wouldn't."

I think it's especially interesting given what came before (Peggy using Okinawa against Jack during their argument in 2x03) it's almost an apology on her part. My reading of that scene in Better Angels is that Peggy knows as soon as the words come out of her mouth that she's gone too far, but she's too stubborn to take them back. So she's using this as a chance to assure Jack that she is trustworthy, that she knows this about him but won't stoop to his level. She's also totally calling him out, acknowledging that he's only doing this to her because he's afraid.

Then she ends the conversation by giving him a (fairly backhanded) compliment. She totally refuses to engage with him. She doesn't even read the file!

Jack has no idea what to do with this! But it's such a good scene because Peggy's confident and self-assured reaction really gets him questioning Vernon. Peggy doesn't react at all like Jack would if someone confronted him about Okinawa. So he's forced to realize oh, this file is probably a forgery, maybe I am on the wrong side. It sets up his decision to go against Vernon and back Peggy in the next few episodes soooo well. The character development in this show is truly all I could ever ask for.

(Also, I really wish we got full outtakes of that scene, because what did Chad do that was "just godawful" lol)

More stories from hell (retail) today I was ringing up this lady and she goes oh I want to do part of this on a gift card and the rest on normal card and I go ok and then she hands me a folded piece of paper. I think oh OK it must be folded around the gift card, right? Wrong. It is a folded sheet of 8×11 printer paper with "$40" written on the inside in ballpoint pen. I go what is this. She says a gift card. I say this is not a gift card. She says yes it is. I say this is a piece of paper with "$40" written on it. She says "well it's a gift card." I say it absolutely is not. I am grinding my teeth. She says well I want to use it. I say you physically cannot do that bc it is a piece of paper. I cannot scan or swipe it. I apologize, as if this is my fault, and not because she is completely insane. I hate it here

It's been a hot second since the last time I cried tears of true rage but damn if I didn't come close today

world heritage post

there’s a website where you put in two musicians/artists and it makes a playlist that slowly transitions from one musician’s style of music to the other’s

it’s really fun

lady gaga -> napalm death takes a weird detour through epic rap battles of history

This is actually really useful for finding music that’s in between genres that I wouldn’t know to look for.

This has nothing to do with books but it’s COOL

I feel like this could be useful for trying to slowly pull yourself away from your depression music to something more uplifting without it being jarring…

2101 A Space Age Society by  Jort van Welbergen

On April 13, 1985, Danuta Danielsson - a Jewish-Polish woman whose mother was taken to a concentration camp in WWII - hit a local neonazi with her handbag in Växjö, Sweden.

Update: The neonazis were subsequently expelled from the city, and a statue was erected in her honor.

This week 34 years ago, Danuta Danielsson demonstrated how much respect fascists deserve.

Well played, Danuta Danielsson.

And good aim.

She hit them so hard they were banished from that land forever. Iconic

Happy 40th Annual Hit a Nazi with a Handbag Day

Follow through with this energy towards all genocidal fascists in your day to day life.

It is not unethical to hit a Nazi or a Zionist.
