Cashmere or die. Haha. Tough choice. In my mind Iโ€™d already be planning the next trip to the Real Real. Great work.

Your feedback, as an actress and a comedy writer, means everything! And yes, I'd be looking up all the TSE options on Poshmark!

I think an Alexa speaker with a recording of Logan Roy yelling โ€œF*ck off!โ€ would make a great security alarm. No one in their right mind would trespass. And good lord the chicken nurse! No time for dignity in an ER apparently. Swarthy needs to step in and deliver some Harlequin romance.

I seriously think Alexa-Logan-Roy would scare off *both* bears and errant meth heads (all too common up here)! If you think of Chicken Nurse as Leslie Jones from SNL, you know Swarthy is going to be too scared to cross her, Lol.

I think if your dad channeled Logan while pretending Gwyneth was Kendall, that might do it. Or, you could tweak Boar on the Floor to Bear in the Chair and make her sit there and think about what sheโ€™s done to those poor chickens. Loving Ellery Goes Dark, but youโ€™re too good at cliffhangers. And โ€œYou have planted your last potatoโ€ really made me laugh.

I cannot wait to use that line one day--with a really hot, slightly younger Lena Olin-type. And yes, I think some Dad-Kendall Method Acting might actually do the trick.

OK HOLD UP: can we please instigate a worldwide DIGESTIBILITY RATING for all foods? Like, can this be included on the ingredient label of canned goods, and beside every menu item? It would help those of us with food allergies/ sensitivities to better navigate Earth. Also, fun question for The Empress: which item of clothing yin your closet would you fight to the death to keep intact? I have a trench made by a certain iconic British company that is basically my super-hero cape, and if anyone even touches it I'm like NO NOPE BACK OFF BRUH. Lastly, I'm still Team Gwyneth (sorrynotsorry) but for what it's worth, my 3rd grade camp counselor told me she once scared off a fucking grizzly by singing THERE'S NOOOO BUSINESS LIKE SHOOOOW BUSINESS at the top of her lungs. Damn thing toppled backward and rolled down a hill when he heard it. So pour one out for Ethel Merman, I guess?

OH MY GOD... LOL... We are SO going to SING ETHEL MERMAN with/at Gwyneth!!! To be honest, one beloved fam member wants us to start getting those rotisserie chickens at the market and just start having her to dinner regularly. He noted it would solve everyone's problems and teach her WAY better table manners! I say, huzzah for family harmony!!! And yes, when they cut off my Nora sweater last year--there was no amount of NO NOPE BACK OFF BRUH blinking or pantomiming I could do!!! It was absolutely my writing super-hero cape. And yes, I am suffering from dairy today--so please, YES--a worldwide spy agency for THAT would be GREAT!
