This week's episode is from the perspective of Gatsby, a happy-go-lucky dog who loves the outdoors and being active. He moves from the Midwest to Queens after his owner Chase (Ryan Woodle) gets a new job and breaks up with his girlfriend. Unfortunately, culture clash hits them both: Gatsby discovers that he no longer has the space or freedom to be his fun self, and Chase succumbs to utter loneliness in his new home. Things change when Chase hires Beth (Yael Stone, who appeared in the web series), an upbeat dog walker, to get Gatsby out of the apartment during the day, and suddenly Gatsby develops a crush on the gentle new soul in his life.\n"}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
It's admittedly a silly concept — dog develops puppy love — but Blichfeld and Sinclair make it work by taking Gatsby's feelings toward Beth very seriously and also subtly winking at its absurdity, like when Beth drinking water creates an image in Gatsby's mind of a beautiful woman dancing in a field. Since we're watching the world through Gatsby's eyes, we feel his longing in the interim time between Beth's departure at the end of the day and her return the following afternoon. (Blichfeld and Sinclair play with the notion that dogs don't have a strong conception of time.) He becomes depressed whenever Beth is not around, ignoring Chase and resenting his need for \"quick walks\" rather than luxurious strolls. It's funny and sweet to see Gatsby navigate his feelings for Beth — out of protective instinct, he barks at a stranger who recognized her on the street — while also yearning for her presence whenever she's not around. (It goes without saying that much of this works because the dog who plays Gatsby is adorable and expressive in ways that on-screen dogs tend to be.) \"Grandpa\" also features Blichfeld and Sinclair's best direction to date, taking advantage of New York City's parks to define the sunny mood of the episode, with the peak being an extended sequence where a man blows bubbles on a gorgeous afternoon.\n"}},{"entrytext0":{"entrytext":"
But just when Gatsby settles into a routine with Beth, she decides to invite The Guy over to Chase's apartment to drink a couple beers and smoke a joint without anyone's permission. Chase, having a camera set up in the kitchen to see if Gatsby was eating out of the trash, finds out and fires her without letting Gatsby or Beth say good-bye. Locked in a cage for the day, Gatsby descends into despondency, refusing to even look at Chase when he asks to take him out for a walk. After realizing Chase isn't providing him with the resources he requires, he runs away and joins a group of dumpster divers who play bucket drums in the park. He finally gets to experience the outdoors all day, even if it's as \"Grandpa\" as opposed to \"Gatsby.\"\n"}},{"entrytext1":{"entrytext":"
There are some issues here and there with \"Grandpa,\" mainly that Gatsby's perspective precludes any real understanding of Chase beyond his actions. This is by design, of course, but the episode falls into a predictable pattern where Chase becomes the de facto villain even though his firing of Beth, while possibly an overreaction, is relatively understandable.\n"}},{"entrytext2":{"entrytext":"
On the whole, it's a sweet episode designed to explore the world through alien eyes, entirely in line with the High Maintenance approach. The closing moments of Gatsby letting Beth go with The Guy are perfectly pitched, ending the episode on a bittersweet, melancholic note. People walk in and out of others' lives, like wisps of smoke catching the light before they inevitably disappear.\n"}},{"entrytext3":{"entrytext":"

Spoilers ahead for High Maintenance's \"Grandpa\" episode.\n
Friday night's episode of High Maintenance is different from the rest of the series, and most anything else on TV.

First things first: How did you cast Gatsby?
So basically Bill Berloni, he's an amazing dog trainer. In New York he's done a lot of the big productions like Peter Pan Live. They reached out to him to find out, does he have any dogs that can do this very special role? Immediately, one came to mind, which was Bowdie.
So then we got to meet Bowdie and see how he was and make sure he was the right guy for the job. Immediately everyone was like, take him. As a DP I was concerned with how we were going to make the audience members really feel what this silent character is going through without really going into POV because we never do straight POVs on High Maintenance. We sort of lean towards POV, but we don't go into someone's POV. If you look back at all the great dog movies of the '80s like Beethoven and Turner & Hooch and Homeward Bound, there's always these wide-angle, low POV shots that let you see what the dog is seeing and then cut back to the dog. We didn't want to do that wide-angle, doggie-cam look, but we still wanted people to identify with the dog and feel what he was feeling, so we tried to come up with a new style where we were shooting from behind the dog — the dog is in the frame, so you're referencing his POV. You're in the same line of sight as him, but it's not a straight POV. With the exception of some certain details of Beth, who he falls in love with, we were like, well, dog vision probably isn't that great, so that's another reason why I was turned off by the doggie-cam shots.\n"}},{"entrytext0":{"entrytext":"
There's something very palpable about it.
We also wanted to do these steady-cam shots with the dog. You're really present with the dog — he's the focus. We were worried if we didn't have the right dog it would become a nightmare very fast. Luckily, Bowdie was like ... by take three he always knew the entire routine of what we needed him to do, and then we would start doing these special things that were even more interesting. It was almost as if he became psychic with [creators] Ben [Sinclair] and Katja [Blichfeld]. They would be sitting at the monitor with me and we'd be like, Oh, it would be so great if he could turn his head right now. And then he would do it. We would all be like, Oh my gosh, we're like synced up with the dog.
That's what was so amazing is there are some scenes where you, for example, see him at the window and his owner calls out to him, but he doesn't move. Were certain things more difficult than others in terms of getting him to do what you wanted?
Yes. Certain things were more difficult than others, and Bowdie is definitely a people-person dog. One of the things that was actually quite difficult was getting him to have his head out the window and looking around New York City, which when you think of dogs, you just think, yeah, they love to stick their heads out the window. But he's very clued into people, so we had to mount the camera on the side of the car and have the trainer leaning [out of the window] over the camera and calling to him. It takes so many people to get a dog to do a routine. There's a trainer that's talking to him. There's a trainer at the end of wherever he was going to go. There's a trainer hidden where he needs to turn and look. Each of them was giving him a command — sometimes it was a silent command and sometimes it's a vocal command. A lot of times on set we were hearing everybody go, Bowdie, Bowdie, Bowdie, Bowdie in a high voice or cookie, cookie, cookie, cookie, peanut butter, peanut butter.
That's so funny. I would love to see the cut that has everything outside the frame.
Yeah, and it would be great for you to see the rehearsal takes, which we didn't roll on, but I wish we had. Theresa, one of the amazing dog trainers, when we would do rehearsals with the actors she would go around pretending to be the dog, like crawl around where the dog would be. It's pretty charming.
Did Bowdie get along well with Yael Stone?
It was really instant chemistry, which is something that everyone was concerned about. She's amazing and the dog is really amazing, and it was pretty realistically love at first sight. I was just going to say, I forgot to give a shout-out to Mike Wilson, our steady-cam guy. He was so wonderful and brought such good energy to set, which was really important, especially when you're working with an animal. They're very affected by the energy around them. Everyone was trying to keep it a calm and positive space. Beyond being technically excellent, he just brought such a positive attitude to the experience.
What were your conversations like with Ben and Katja in terms of how you would use the camera to get across what was going on in the dog's head and what his personality is?
We wanted to make sure we weren't showing anyone's face until we see Beth's face for the first time and really let that be isolated and make that moment special. It also makes Bowdie more like the main character whereas if you have humans, you would have gotten distracted watching them and then you'd be like, Oh, I'm watching the dog too. But because we isolate and force you to see just him for quite a lot of it, the audience bonds with him and his experience first. Another thing we talked about visually was, Ben and Katja and I love karaoke. We were like, When he's fantasizing about this woman, what should it look like? [We decided to] give a nod to some of those amazing and terrible '80s karaoke videos.
There's also a bit of a Kate Bush feel to it.
Yeah! And Kate Bush, there's a nod there also to Stevie Nicks. I think it's really cool that his idea of romance is cheesy, sweet, romantic music videos. He's such a gentleman. He's dreaming about her dancing, and yeah, he's going to smell her butt, but that's what dogs do and they can't hide.
What was it like shooting that scene?
That one was both extremely fun and silly because her outfit is amazing. I was really happy from a technical standpoint because we were using Super Baltars, which is beautiful vintage glass, and it brings this warm, creamy feeling to them. The part that was challenging is any time you take Bowdie off leash in a public place, there has to be a lot of people around, so if he sees a squirrel or something and goes running, we'll be able to get him and not have him go running off, or heaven forbid hurt the squirrel. Outside the shots there's an army of people standing, making sure he won't just run off into the park. There were a lot of squirrels in that park.
Were any squirrels hurt?
No squirrels were harmed in the making of the episode. It was really also fun filming the squirrels. We put those in to show the difference of the two parks, from Queens to when he gets into Manhattan. I sent my steady-cam guy, Mike, off to go shoot squirrel footage on a steady cam, which seemed overkill, but it was fun. He was like, "I've never been asked to go chase squirrels with expensive amazing gear," and we're like, "Well now you are."
How did you decide to film the shots that aren't of Bowdie, but from his perspective, and what his eyes are drawn to?
I was thinking what are the details you notice about someone that you really love or that you're paying attention to because you might have a crush on them. Dogs have a really good sense of hearing and smell. Those are both things that are really hard to capture visually, but we thought by going in macro on certain details or long lens in isolating details, that might cause people to feel a little bit more that you're experiencing the sound of Beth's voice when she's on the phone with Ben, or that you're seeing the coat chain dangling. Those details are the same way someone sees details of someone they're in love with.
When he's being walked home and Beth is for the first time ignoring him and she's on the phone with Ben, he's really clued into her mouth, and the shot is framed more for that — it's not framed the normal way you would film someone talking on the phone. It's a little lower angle and a little closer, cropping in on that, so you really are paying attention to her lips and the sound that she's making. It's the little details about someone you're interested in, and when they're gone, that you might recall and think about.\n"}},{"entrytext10":{"entrytext":"
In terms of his owner — I noticed that he has a Trump sign in his front yard. What did you want to get across about the owner and what type of person he is?
So he lives with his owner, Chase. They're in the Midwest, kind of conservative, and the guy doesn't necessarily have time and energy to have a dog like Bowdie. He loves him, but he doesn't think about him the same way. He's not his partner.
He's not a villain ...
No, he's just a normal person that doesn't realize how much emotional intelligence the animal probably has. At the same time, when he gets really sad in the episode, Bowdie is there to comfort him on the couch. Bowdie doesn't hold anything against him. He just needs to live a different life, and he realizes that. I love, personally, that he's leaving this kind of guy to go live with a really interesting woman both times.
The scene that affected me the most in this episode is, after the owner fires Beth, he puts Gatsby in a cage during the day, while he's at work. I imagine that must have been sad to shoot.
So sad. It was so sad, but then we would call "cut" and Bowdie would pop his head up like, Did I do a good job, guys? He's just looking around so cute and we're like, Oh we've got to get him out of the cage. He's just really happy to know he did a good job. It was a little easier for us to film it than it is for people to watch it I think.
When he doesn't come out when the doors open, are people telling him to wait?
Mm-hmm, so it's a little bit of movie magic. Basically someone hand-motioning, asking him to come, but they're actually saying, Stay, stay, Bowdie, stay.
There are certain moments when Beth is sent away, and you can hear Gatsby whimpering. Are those sound effects that are added in or you actually did get a response from him?
Our sound guy, Demetri, is pretty amazing, and I know he did a lot of additional recording of Bowdie, so even if it's not from that exact moment, which I think that it is, it is from Bowdie another time.
How long did these episodes take to shoot, and was it much longer than your average episode?
I think it was just a week, but I'm not totally sure. It was pretty normal, but we were obviously trying to do a lot of stuff, and everyone was like, This is a lot of stuff to do with a dog. But luckily we got the best dog in the world.
You talked about the most difficult thing just getting his head of the window. Was there other stuff where he just responded more naturally to?
Well he just loves [Yael], so any time she wanted him to go to her, that was easy. That was so easy. He wanted to be around her. He wanted to jump up with her. That was probably the easiest, the chemistry between the two leads. It's not in his nature to be rough or mean, he's really calm, so when we had to have him bark at certain people, we had to try to add a little bit. He's just a very calm dog. It made everybody on the crew want to have a dog, and to specifically have that dog. Probably the hardest thing for everyone was not touching him. When you see an amazing dog like that you want to pet them and talk to them, and you're not allowed because he's a working dog and he needs to concentrate. The same way you wouldn't go up to an actor and just be talking to them. It was so hard.
I can't even imagine.
He's got these amazing eyes that look like human eyes. They're really special. My favorite thing was when we finally wrapped I got to hug the dog. I was like finally.
Was there a feeling that you were going for in terms of how we should be empathizing with this dog?
Really we wanted what we want for every character in High Maintenance, which is to portray them honestly and authentically. There are good moments and there are bad moments, but especially with Gatsby, we wanted the audience to go on the same emotional journey he was on, which is, he has such a love of life, and then you move to the big city and you think there's all these possibilities. Then maybe it doesn't work out the way you think it's going to, and then eventually you find how you fit into that city. I think a lot of people, when they move to New York, experience that. We definitely never wanted anyone to feel like, Oh we're watching a dog. Instead they're like, Oh I feel the same way this dog feels. I'm completely empathizing and putting myself in his shoes.
The other reason I think Ben and Katja were drawn to this story was, you see these giant dogs in New York and you're like, Where do they live and what is the story behind those people?\n"}},{"entrytext19":{"entrytext":"
I often think about dogs too in New York, and it can feel a little cruel if you don't have the space. Was there a sense of trying to get that across, like, maybe this is not an easy life if you're inside all day as a dog?
Yeah, definitely. You can feel when we get out of the apartment there's all the movement. There's all the beautiful trees and light going into the trees, and you feel like you're connected with everything and you can feel him light up. The camera is moving and everything is very dynamic. When we're inside the house there's still some movement, but it's a lot more still. The camera is more still. You feel more contained within these walls. The question is also like, when you see gutter punks on the street with a dog, and you're like, Oh my god, that poor dog, but actually, they're with their person 24 hours a day. They're out around outside. Obviously, the weather conditions —we're portraying the best season, so it's more complicated than that — but there are so many sides to each thing.
When he chooses, too — like, here's the girl I have a crush on, but here's my real love. Another interesting thing — he has his fantasy of looking at Beth drinking from the water fountain, and at the end, he is looking at his new lady drinking water. But she gives him some water first, and then he's watching her and it's just a straight realistic shot. So it's kind of that difference between your first crush on someone or the first person you're with — you're never going to end up with them, but it's so amazing and silly and fun. And then it's one of your later loves, where you can see them exactly as they are and you still feel that way about them. It's a lot to put into two images, and maybe people don't get that, but that was the idea — that conscious feeling of, he didn't need a dream sequence for this girl.\n"}},{"entrytext21":{"entrytext":"
I hadn't thought about that, but you definitely get that feeling. And the fact that Beth doesn't recognize him — your first crush isn't thinking about you the way you are.
Yeah, and I feel like that happens a lot in relationships — one person is still invested and built it up in their head that it's more than it could ever be, and that's usually the imbalance that causes it to be a problem. And then it's when you find someone around that you have the same intensity with, then it works out.

Back in June, FX renewed Archer for three more seasons, securing our future with the most lovable animated asshat on TV for at least 10 total seasons. But according to the show's creator, Adam Reed, he'll be looking to conclude the series after that commitment is fulfilled. On the podcast Murmer from Modern Film School, Reed said a decade's worth of misadventures with Sterling Malory Archer will be enough for him, "The plan is to end Archer after season 10. I don't know that anybody has talked about that, but that is definitely my plan, is to do eight, nine, and 10 — and they're gonna be each shorter seasons of just eight episodes — and then wind it up."

Back in June, FX renewed Archer for three more seasons, securing our future with the most lovable animated asshat on TV for at least 10 total seasons. But according to the show's creator, Adam Reed, he'll be looking to conclude the series after that commitment is fulfilled. On the podcast Murmer from Modern Film School, Reed said a decade's worth of misadventures with Sterling Malory Archer will be enough for him, "The plan is to end Archer after season 10. I don't know that anybody has talked about that, but that is definitely my plan, is to do eight, nine, and 10 — and they're gonna be each shorter seasons of just eight episodes — and then wind it up." Reed also said that he had originally intended to wrap the show after season eight, but that he had a "brain explosion" that resulted in three more seasons worth of material he was excited about. And as for those possible final seasons, Reed says they are "gonna be pretty different from what has come before, and they're gonna be different from each other."

Before I run down this week's MacHacks, let's set things up: The Phoenix Foundation is recruited to rescue Sarah Adler (Amy Acker!) who has some valuable intel on a nefarious Venezuelan gun runner named Barrios. Adding some color to the situation is the fact that Adler used to date MacGyver's dad-bro Jack Dalton, and he's clearly not over her.\n"}},{"entrytext0":{"entrytext":"
They get in, they get out, they crack jokes about Uber. And Angus MacGyver makes these five MacHacks, ranked from best to worst:\n"}},{"entrytext1":{"entrytext":"
1. A television remote, digital microscope, and glasses are torn down to an LED light array, an infrared filter, and a microscope screen, which combine to become … NIGHT-VISION GOGGLES. This is incredible. While infiltrating the facility where Adler is held, Mac tells us how much he hates the dark and then the power gets cut and there's just no way he's going to make night-vision goggles and then he makes night-vision goggles. I'm positive he skipped like five steps, though.\n"}},{"entrytext2":{"entrytext":"
2. A car battery, jumper cables, and spare change become … A FREAKING BLOWTORCH. This is how Mac breaks into the facility, by the way. It is so patently impossible and ridiculous I couldn't help but laugh. It is also the prerequisite Egregiously Dangerous Hack of the episode. Please don't play with jumper cables and live batteries.\n"}},{"entrytext3":{"entrytext":"
3. Car mirrors, tree branches, and magnifying lenses combine to form … AN EXPLOSION OF BULLETS AND SHIT. In the episode's big pivot, Adler convinces Mac and Co. to not just save her and the intel she has on Barrios, but go all the way and apprehend Barrios themselves. To do this, they have to subdue his personal army. How could they possibly do that? Oh, just by using miscellaneous objects to direct focused sunlight on some ammo supply crates, burning through the wood and igniting the ammunition.\n"}},{"entrytext4":{"entrytext":"
4. Camo netting and some wrenches combine to make … SOME WEIRD MOTORCYCLE BOOBY TRAP. Less goofy and more practical, I guess. When Mac tosses the bunch o' wrenches at Barrios' motorcycle, it catches up his tires and sends him flying. It's very Mario Kart.\n"}},{"entrytext5":{"entrytext":"
5. Gasoline, soda bottles, and and a conveniently indiscernible substance become … FIREBOMBS. In the very beginning of the episode, Mac and Jack wind up in a high-speed car chase while extracting some cyberterrorist from North Korea. Mac siphons some fuel into each bottle, then adds the mysterious substance to make the bombs. This one loses points for lack of clarity.\n"}},{"entrytext6":{"entrytext":"
Here's the great thing about this episode: The best MacHacks are firmly entrenched on the ridiculous end of the spectrum. If MacGyver chooses to embrace that wackiness, it might very well work.\n"}},{"entrytext7":{"entrytext":"
Here's the bad thing about this episode: It still wants to play everything straight. Each scenario is constructed to give Mac everything he needs, and the show seems determined to become yet another formulaic CBS procedural.\n"}},{"entrytext8":{"entrytext":"
I want MacGyver to be the Furious 7 of hastily constructed inventions. Everything should be dialed to 11 at all times. Mac should be using the most disparate junk imaginable to build totally illogical things, like a bazooka or a fully operational Sherman Tank. Doesn't that sound great? I'd love to watch that show.

"The Rolls Royce of all primetime soaps, returns in a modernized reboot that follows two of America's wealthiest families, the Carringtons and the Colbys, as they feud for control over their fortune and their children.

In an age where dynasties appear everywhere — from reality TV to the polling booths — this epic drama features the one percent in all its glitz and gloss, while exposing the dark underbelly: a corrupt world built on backroom deals, betrayal, and, in some cases, murder."\n\n

In walks Cottonmouth, noting that he'll cover everything. \"Too bad you're not in a position to the man the grand homecoming he deserves,\" he tells Luke. \"The service should match the man's integrity,\" Luke replies.\n"}},{"entrytext0":{"entrytext":"
The brief exchange illustrates the major factors that divide these two men. They don't just exist on opposite sides of the law; they're separated by class, too. It isn't lost on me how Stokes looked down on Luke, flinging insults like \"dishwasher\" at him with a nonchalant swagger that suggests an extreme condescension.\n"}},{"entrytext1":{"entrytext":"
It's a good scene, but I found myself bothered by its cinematography. The icy light that barely bleeds into the room is distracting. Why is this room so dark? The cinematographer is Manuel Billeter, who has also shot Daredevil and Jessica Jones. All three of these shows have a similar color palette and an unfortunate tendency for underlit scenes, but it feels worse here. Black actors are so often terribly lit in film and television, and Luke Cage is no exception. When it digs into themes of black identity, it has the potential to be a very good show. But as long as its harsh, sickly color palette undercuts interesting framing, I'm not sure it can be a great one.\n"}},{"entrytext2":{"entrytext":"
Thankfully, uneven cinematography doesn't ruin the episode's most electric scene. While previous installments were light on action, \"Who's Gonna Take the Weight?\" leans into the violence of Luke's world. After learning the inner workings of Cottonmouth's operation, Luke decides to take his fight to him — but not in the way I expected. When he finally starts to unleash absolute hell, his intelligence makes a bigger difference than his indestructible body. He carefully hits up each of Cottonmouth's stash houses, forcing him to consolidate everything at Crispus Attucks. This will also spark a war with Domingo (a generic Latino mob boss played by Jacob Vargas), further causing Cottonmouth to lose grip on his power.\n"}},{"entrytext3":{"entrytext":"
Each scene of Luke decimating low-level guards is fun to watch. During the first one, he flicks them off with casual annoyance, bending guns until they're unusable. The next finds Luke fighting in the hallway while a young, doped-up black woman lies just out of his sight; a smart transition leads us to the same woman being questioned by Misty and Scarfe. And Luke's final raid on Crispus Attucks boasts a rough-hewn visual poetry that's been rarely used in the series.\n"}},{"entrytext4":{"entrytext":"
You've probably seen part of this sequence, but it gains newfound emotional resonance within the context of Pop's death. Set to \"Bring Da Ruckus\" by the Wu-Tang Clan, the sequence works on multiple levels: it's viscerally enjoyable, it features heightened brutality, and it demonstrates that Luke won't kill a man without provocation. Despite all the bone crunching, bullet-strewn chaos in this expertly crafted scene, no one is killed.\n"}},{"entrytext5":{"entrytext":"
Luke only takes one bag of money, leaving the rest to be catalogued by the cops. He gives a majority of the cash to Connie and Bobby Fish (Ron Cephas Jones), who has becomes something of a confidante for Luke. (Although he isn't opening up about his abilities.) He also gives a stack to Connie, but his victory is short-lived. On a nearby rooftop, Cottonmouth takes aim with a rocket launcher, cutting short Luke's conversation with Connie. We know Luke will survive the explosion — it's way too early in the season for him to suffer any serious damage. But will his secret identity?\n"}},{"entrytext6":{"entrytext":"
Mahershala Ali's Cottonmouth has moments of brilliance, but he's imbued with an aggressive brio that's seen in so many crime films, it feels rote. Ali is at its best in Cottonmouth's vulnerable moments, when he's aching and contradicts his violent ways. So watching Domingo threaten him whilst eating Milky Ways and dropping the trash in Harlem's Paradise isn't all that interesting or fun or memorable. If anything, Domingo borders on parody. He's a necessary part of the broader plot, as the war between the Latino and black gangs becomes inevitable, but that doesn't mean he needs to be so dull.\n"}},{"entrytext7":{"entrytext":"
\"Who's Gonna Take the Weight?\" also makes clear that Luke's most potent enemy isn't Cottonmouth, but his cousin Mariah. They both want to make the neighborhood a safe haven, even though her means of doing so are criminal. She likes to think she doesn't have blood on her hands, but when she describes how she'll make Harlem great, her cold ambition suggests depths even darker than Cottonmouth's.\n"}},{"entrytext8":{"entrytext":"
After learning that he's lost nearly all of his money because of Luke's Crispus Attucks raid, Cottonmouth does exactly what you'd expect of a man who loses his grasp on power: He throws a tantrum, breaking everything he can with a baseball bat. And that's when the scene gets interesting:\n\n"}},{"entrytext9":{"entrytext":"
Cottonmouth: \"Shut up, black Mariah.\"\n
Mariah: \"You better shut up or I'll cut your color-struck ass. Call me that again.\"\n\n
Cottonmouth is a man who depends greatly on violence. Compare him to Mariah, who understands that your legacy is what ultimately counts. Her response touches on the fraught issue of colorism in the black community. It's not the kind of remark Cottonmouth would forget, so I'm curious to see how it will manifest later.\n"}},{"entrytext11":{"entrytext":"
Meanwhile, the tense relationship between Misty and Luke has unfolded in a fascinating, if underdeveloped way. Actress Simone Missick feels a part of this world more than any other actor on the show. She's tough, smart, and vulnerable in ways that make her feel human, rather than just another Strong Black Woman™. Even Mike Colter hasn't found enough depth to leave much of a lasting impact on me, though I've enjoyed his performance. The animosity Misty and Luke have toward each other is understandable, given the void Pop has left in their life. But it doesn't feel earned.\n"}},{"entrytext12":{"entrytext":"
Of course, Misty has much bigger problems to worry about than Luke. I'll be honest: I wasn't paying as much attention to Scarfe as I probably should have. There was a false note to the character that I blamed on Frank Whaley's performance, but now it points to something more deliberate. Misty and Scarfe have a very comfortable rapport with each other, as seen when she describes how watching basketball games in Pop's shop shaped her childhood, and how sleeping with Luke was probably not the best idea. They also argue about vigilantes— he appreciates then, she desires order — which ultimately gets cast in a new light when we learn Scarfe is a dirty cop in Cottonmouth's pocket.\n"}},{"entrytext13":{"entrytext":"
We see Scarfe's true colors after Chico tells him that he's ready to tell the cops about everything — \"I'll name names, dates, the whole nine,\" he promises. Even as Scarfe strangled Chico with his tie, I still couldn't believe he was a dirty cop. Not because this twist was that striking; I expected Cottonmouth to have a cop on his payroll. But it left me wondering, how hasn't Misty picked up on this? If she's skilled enough to realize Luke is responsible for what happened at Crispus Attucks, why can't she figure out Scarfe? Perhaps violence and camaraderie warped her view, just as it has everyone else's.\n"}},{"entrytext14":{"entrytext":"
\"Nothing humbles a man like gravity,\" Cottonmouth says, when he's asked about Tone at one point. In episode three, Luke Cage demonstrates that violence often has a gravity all its own."}}],"canonicalUrl":"http://www.vulture.com/2016/09/marvels-luke-cage-recap-season-1-episode-3.html","tags":["marvel's luke cage","overnights","tv","tv recaps","recaps"],"entryTitle":" Luke Cage Recap: Wolves at the Door","publishDate":"2016-09-30T23:43:00+00:00","authoredBy":["Angelica Jade Bastién"],"blogName":"Vulture","excludeMostViewed":false,"path":"/2016/09/marvels-luke-cage-recap-season-1-episode-3.html","crossPostBlogs":["Vulture"],"entryType":"TV Recap","cmsSource":"CQ5","entryTextTotalWords":1427,"featureRubric":{"slug":"overnights","value":"overnights"},"sectionLedes":[],"excludeRss":false,"excludeAllFeeds":false},{"status":"published","isGoogleStandout":false,"excerpt":"\"The moment it was me and Roxxxy in the bottom, I knew I was going home.\"","beforeTheJump":"

What made you want to return to Drag Race?\n"}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
I wanted to return just because the competition is fun. [Laughs.] It's a good time. It's great for one's career and you know, trying to get some money out of the deal. I had a lot of fun on season two. All Stars was a no-brainer.\n"}},{"entrytext0":{"entrytext":"
And you did make a little money.\n"}},{"entrytext1":{"entrytext":"
Yeah, totally! I won like $5,000 and I got a dress and some jewelry so I'm not mad about it.\n"}},{"entrytext2":{"entrytext":"
Your lip-sync with Alyssa was amazing. Were you surprised that you won?\n"}},{"entrytext3":{"entrytext":"
Not so much surprised, just shocked that it went as well in real life as it did in my head. You never really know how you're doing, you know what I mean? Also, Alyssa is a big dancing queen. I don't think many people thought that I was going to be able to compete against her in that kind of way. Not everyone is necessarily familiar with what I'm able to do when it comes to a lip sync. On season two, all I had were '70s mid-tempo jams. Nothing dance-worthy.\n"}},{"entrytext4":{"entrytext":"
Do you wish you had lent Alaska something to wear?\n"}},{"entrytext5":{"entrytext":"
Ha! You know what? No! I don't think that it has anything to do with that. The moment it was me and Roxxxy in the bottom, I knew that I was gonna go home because she's not gonna send home Roxxxy. I think the crop top was a very convenient detail.\n"}},{"entrytext6":{"entrytext":"
Do you think it had to do with Rolaskatox? Alaska said she was out of the clique, but it seems to be staying strong.\n"}},{"entrytext7":{"entrytext":"
In every interview that I did on the show, you see me going, 'Well girl, if I'm against one of the…\" Every time I was sent home, it was because Alaska won and I was in the bottom with some part of Rolaskatox. I don't think they walked into it going, \"We're a clique.\" But they were already a clique. You can't really un-clique yourself once you're a clique.\n"}},{"entrytext8":{"entrytext":"
Naturally, they're going to look out for each other. I think Alaska was just using the excuse, \"Oh she gave me her crop top,\" as a way to make it look better.\n"}},{"entrytext9":{"entrytext":"
Judging from social media, at least, a lot of people think the wrong person went home.\n"}},{"entrytext10":{"entrytext":"
Yes. I feel that same way. [Laughs.]\n"}},{"entrytext11":{"entrytext":"
So you think Roxxxy should've gone home?\n"}},{"entrytext12":{"entrytext":"
I think I should not have gone home.\n"}},{"entrytext13":{"entrytext":"
I don't think you should've been in the bottom.\n"}},{"entrytext14":{"entrytext":"
Yeah. I agree with that one, too.\n"}},{"entrytext15":{"entrytext":"
What do you think of the elimination format? Is it fair?\n"}},{"entrytext16":{"entrytext":"
No, it's obviously not always going to end up being fair. The worst person in the challenge isn't always the person that goes home because it's up to the other girls. Sometimes, they might pick off someone who's a threat. Sometimes, they might pick off someone who's getting on their nerves. It's not always gonna be fair when it comes to eliminations, doing it this way.\n"}},{"entrytext17":{"entrytext":"
Both you and Alyssa decided to send Phi Phi home last week. Why did you pick her?\n"}},{"entrytext18":{"entrytext":"
Well, first and foremost, I thought that her and Coco did the worst in the challenge, especially given there were two of them and Roxxxy was all alone. I thought that Roxxxy gave it a good ole try — you know, she tried to bring back an old character from her season — and I thought that she did as much as she could in the best way that she could.\n"}},{"entrytext19":{"entrytext":"
Also, Phi was plucking my nerves a little bit by playing mind games or whatever.\n"}},{"entrytext20":{"entrytext":"
Can you tell me more about that?\n"}},{"entrytext21":{"entrytext":"
Well, after the comedy challenge, he told me, \"You were really funny, but Detox wasn't.\" And then he told Detox, \"You were really funny, but Tatiana wasn't so funny.\" Within an hour of that, me and Detox traded notes and we were like, \"Oh bitch, okay. Cool. I see you.\" That played into it, too. But overall, they clearly did the worst.\n"}},{"entrytext22":{"entrytext":"
Afterwards, Phi Phi blamed the edit for making her seem like a villain. Would you agree with that?\n"}},{"entrytext23":{"entrytext":"
I don't think she was coming off crazy or super villainy. I think it is editing, but not in the way people are taking it. Phi Phi said everything that she said, and she said it the way she said it. They're just not showing what everyone else also said. When five people say the same thing but you only show one person saying it, it makes it look like that one person is the only person that feels that way.\n"}},{"entrytext24":{"entrytext":"
I'd like to get your advice on how one makes good choices.\n"}},{"entrytext25":{"entrytext":"
You make good choices by thinking things through and just being smart about your shit, you know what I mean? Don't be stupid. [Laughs.] It's that easy.\n"}},{"entrytext26":{"entrytext":"
How did \"choices\" become your catchphrase?\n"}},{"entrytext27":{"entrytext":"
It fits in a lot of places. I'm not one of those people who go into something with a planned catchphrase. Like, \"thank you\" was not ever a thought in my mind until I watched the show. And I was like, oh, I guess I said thank you a lot and they're certainly using it a lot. It's all kind of organic. \"Choices\" is just something I had been saying, so I said it a few times here and there. I guess it just caught on.\n"}},{"entrytext28":{"entrytext":"
What was your favorite moment from this season?\n"}},{"entrytext29":{"entrytext":"
I think it's split between three. I loved how well \"The Same Parts\" came off because that was pretty awesome. It was a total fluke, last-minute decision. Obviously, I really loved the opportunity to lip sync twice, but mainly with Alyssa. And my T-Boz runway! I had been waiting to do that, so I was super excited that ended up working out. They had told us to bring a '90s look, but then they told us the night before, \"You guys won't be doing '90s looks anymore.\" And I was like, damn, I really wanted to! And Katya was like, well, isn't your T-Boz pants? You can wear that for your pants on the runway. And I was like, you're a fucking smart bitch.\n"}},{"entrytext30":{"entrytext":"
Is there anything you wished you did differently?\n"}},{"entrytext31":{"entrytext":"
Not really. I'd choose another Snatch Game character, but other than that, I felt good about everything that I did when I was doing it. I don't really have any regrets. I'm pretty pleased with what I did.\n"}},{"entrytext32":{"entrytext":"
Tell me about how \"The Same Parts\" came about. You said that you switched it at the last minute?\n"}},{"entrytext33":{"entrytext":"
Yeah, I had some other weird, spoken-word thing that I thought was gonna be cute. I wrote \"The Same Parts\" back when I was 16 or 17. It's literally about me going to house parties and dancing with dudes and stuff when I was a little teen drag queen. A little ho. I was like, if I slow it down and take out a whole bunch of the curse words, I can make this work with the music that was provided.\n"}},{"entrytext34":{"entrytext":"
Who are you rooting for now?\n"}},{"entrytext35":{"entrytext":"
I'm rooting for Katya. I love me some Katya. I love her points of view on drag and also just life in general. And she's completely fucking crazy, which I really enjoy. I'm definitely rooting for her.\n"}},{"entrytext36":{"entrytext":"
How do you hope people will remember your performance this season? What's the biggest takeaway they should have?\n"}},{"entrytext37":{"entrytext":"
You never know what you're gonna get because I'm surprising in certain situations. I'm talented, and I think some people may have forgotten that. Or they might not know it because they'd never seen season two. The biggest takeaway is that Tatianna is kind of sickening. I think that's the best way to sum it up."}}],"canonicalUrl":"http://www.vulture.com/2016/09/rupauls-drag-races-tatianna-on-elimination.html","tags":["chat room","tatianna","phi phi o'hara","rupaul's drag race","rupaul's drag race all stars"],"entryTitle":"RuPaul's Drag Race's Tatianna On Elimination, Rolaskatox, and Making Good Choices","publishDate":"2016-09-30T23:16:00+00:00","authoredBy":["E.

Finally, the calm that comes with watching a new deranged killer every week without worrying about backstage drama can return to Criminal Minds–viewing households across the land. Damon Gupton, of Bates Motel and Empire, will replace Thomas Gibson on CBS's Criminal Minds, after Gibson was booted from the show for an on-set altercation in which he allegedly kicked a writer.

Who was it who first said feminists don't care about their appearance? Was it a Reddit user? Rush Limbaugh? (It was probably an egg on Twitter.)

She continued, explaining:"}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
As a feminist I find it very offensive that femininity means you can't be taken seriously. I refuse that. I insist that women should have a choice to be as feminine as they like, as they want to be and still be taken seriously. You don't have to wear oversize suits to be taken seriously.

Sesame Street — Halloween Episode (October 29)
Pepe, the goggle-eyed green frog seen across thousands of message boards and Twitter avatars, has been having a tough week. On Wednesday, the Anti-Defamation League officially classified the green-faced cartoon meme as a hate symbol, and added it to the organization's growing hate-symbol database, which also includes the swastika, the Confederate flag, and the echo, a set of triple parentheses used by anti-Semites online to denote that someone is Jewish. While Pepe's creation was entirely benign (his creator, cartoonist Matt Furie, told Esquire, "the vibe of the comic is very chill and mundane and absurd"), the frog has taken on a new life as a racist and a bigot, thanks to its popularity on websites like 4chan and Reddit. (These Pepes are often edited to look like Hitler or KKK members, or are drawn in blackface.)"}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
To find out how the Anti-Defamation League decides when a meme crosses the line from internet novelty, to internet vitriol, to full-on internet hate speech, Select All talked to Oren Segal, the director of the ADL's Center on Extremism to talk about about memes, social media, and what's next for our friend Pepe."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
So, first, talk to me about the process of declaring Pepe a hate symbol."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
We're not actively looking for memes to add to the ADL database. Our database has historically been very much focused on hate symbols commonly used by extremists that people may come across at a rally, or as vandalism. It's intended to be an educational tool to give people context so they have a better understand of use of imagery by extremists."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
Like Pepe."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
Right. Over many years, and especially in recent months, we've realized that people are more likely to come across a hate symbol online rather than on the ground. Earlier this year, we added the echo to the database, but more recently, in terms of our own content and complaints that we've received, the Pepe the frog memes just kept coming up over and over again."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
What led the ADL to Pepe? Is there a specific team that digs through social platforms looking for hateful memes? Or was this mostly from complaints from people outside the ADL?"}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
It's all the above. We have been studying the harassment of journalists by bigots and anti-Semites, and we saw that this meme was being used a lot. We saw it on our social-media channel repeatedly. And we actively do monitor what extremists talk about and what they're posting online. It was one of these things where Pepe the frog kept coming up in racist contexts, so we thought maybe it's time to add the meme to our list of symbols, and that way we can start a discussion about the hateful underbelly of the internet."}},{"secondaryimage":{"url":"http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/selectall/2016/09/30/30-pepe-adl.w710.h473.2x.jpg","caption":"Pepe the frog.","fileReference":"/content/dam/daily/selectall/2016/09/30/30-pepe-adl.jpg"}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
Absolutely, it can definitely get ugly down there. Has your team been in touch with Matt Furie, the artist who created Pepe all those years back?"}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
We are planning to get in touch with him. I think one of the things we've tried to focus on, especially with memes, is whether or not there is a way to reclaim this. I know based on interviews he's given, this cartoon is something that's close to him and that he rejects the extremist and anti-Semitic use of this image. We would love to talk to him about ways to re-appropriate Pepe the frog, if at all possible."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
Pepe seems like the perfect example of Godwin's law."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
Absolutely. The truth is whenever something gains popularity on social media it's likely that at some point someone will try to co-opt that image for nasty or hateful purposes. However, not all of those things catch on. If I knew which ones would catch on, which ones would be viral, I probably wouldn't be working here. We'd have solved the issue by now."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
Are there any other memes on the ADL's hate-speech radar?"}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
We'll see. Obviously this isn't the only anti-Semitic meme out there. Like many other hate symbols that are, let's say, "more traditional," many of those are not used solely in a hateful context. We underscore that the context is key. If somebody has an iron cross or a spiderweb tattooed on their elbow, that doesn't necessarily mean they are some kind of hater of extremist. We see a lot of memes and not all of them are as popular [as Pepe has become]. We'll make those decisions as we come across them and when things increase enough to need attention."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
Where does your team look for this kind of content? Are there specific message boards or sites you frequent?"}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
You can look for places online where hateful people gather, but if they're sharing hateful memes among their own community, that may not be enough to constitute a hate symbol. It's when it starts becoming a little bit more public. When people who have nothing to do with that subculture start coming across or feeling impacted by a hateful meme. That's when it rises to the level that we'll start considering it. In that way, memes are different from your more standard tattoos and symbols used by white-supremacist groups."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
What happens to Pepe now?"}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
Unlike types of really blatant anti-Semitic and racist symbols, with this particular case, with Pepe the frog, because there is still a large amount of people who are not using it for hateful purposes, I believe that Pepe the frog's final destination does not have to be the hate-symbol list."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
So there's hope for the frog."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
I think we can save Pepe. I'd like to figure out ways — and maybe that's working with Matt Furie or others — but I think this is an opportunity for people to push back against hatred and extremism by trying to save this frog."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
I think Katy Perry will be glad to hear that. She's a known Pepe fan."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
A lot of people are."}}],"excerpt":"The infamous meme was classified as a hate symbol earlier this week.","crossPostBlogs":["Select All"],"indexLayout":"Medium Image","featureTypes":["Interview or Profile"],"sectionLedes":[],"primaryImage":{"url":"http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/selectall/2016/09/30/30-pepe-trump.w710.h473.2x.jpg","caption":"A Donald Trump–inspired Pepe.","image":{"mimeType":"image/jpeg","altRenditions":{},"crops":{"default":{"y":209,"x":0,"height":589,"width":884}},"kbytes":96,"_links":{"self":{"href":"/v1/content/assets/images/daily/selectall/2016/09/30/30-pepe-trump.jpg"},"cdn":{"href":"https://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/selectall/2016/09/30/30-pepe-trump.jpg"}},"storageId":{"id":"f2d5a53faeb49bbf3deb992ad41ba04fca55788b"},"uploader":"kchiello","modifiedDate":"2016-09-30T18:56:36.258Z","path":"daily/selectall/2016/09/30/30-pepe-trump.jpg","metadata":{},"dimension":{"width":1200,"height":799},"uploadDate":"2016-09-30T18:56:36.258Z"}},"entryLayout":"Medium Image","channel":"Other","status":"published","canonicalUrl":"http://nymag.com/selectall/2016/09/adl-classifies-pepe-the-frog-as-hate-symbol.html","tags":["alt-right","memes","anti-semitism","pepe the frog"],"entryTitle":"How the Anti-Defamation League Decided Pepe the Frog Was a Symbol of Anti-Semitism","publishDate":"2016-09-30T21:14:34+00:00","authoredBy":["Madison Malone Kircher"],"blogName":"Select All","excludeMostViewed":false,"cmsSource":"clay","entryTextTotalWords":978,"topStoryStatus":"Normal","excludeRss":false,"excludeAllFeeds":false},{"status":"published","isGoogleStandout":false,"excerpt":"Highlights include Blue Velvet, Groundhog Day, and The Blair Witch Project.","beforeTheJump":"

One of the joys and confusions of watching British comedies is trying to figure out British slang. Sometimes things are \"bloody awful,\" sometimes people are \"shit\" at things, occasionally you just \"bugger\" it. Mostly this makes things sound charming and classy, unless you are British, in which case it's normal.

One of the joys and confusions of watching British comedies is trying to figure out British slang.

But mostly, it's here to provide a thorough taxonomy of every British swear imaginable. Some takeaways: \"Minger\" is a mild insult, while \"minge\" is far more offensive. \"Pussy,\" as any fan of Arrested Development might know, is far more acceptable when speaking about a coward. With regards to \"dildo,\" \"often discomfort rather than offence is associated with this word.\" There, now all you arseholes are bloody well-informed."}},{"link0":{"url":"http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/research/tv-research/Offensive-language/Offensive-Language-2016-QRG.pdf","publication":"Ofcom"}}],"canonicalUrl":"http://www.vulture.com/2016/09/heres-a-very-detailed-guide-to-british-profanity.html","tags":["swearing","britain","tv shows"],"entryTitle":"The Buggers at Britain's Broadcasting Regulator Made a Bloody Detailed Ranking of the Swears You Can Say on TV","publishDate":"2016-09-30T21:09:00+00:00","authoredBy":["Jackson McHenry"],"blogName":"Vulture","excludeMostViewed":false,"path":"/2016/09/heres-a-very-detailed-guide-to-british-profanity.html","crossPostBlogs":["Vulture"],"entryType":"Standard","cmsSource":"CQ5","entryTextTotalWords":208,"featureRubric":{"slug":"swearing","value":"swearing"},"sectionLedes":[],"excludeRss":false,"longerHeadline":"The Buggers at Britain's Broadcasting Regulator Made a Bloody Detailed Ranking of the Swears You Can Say on TV","excludeAllFeeds":false},{"body":[{"primaryImage":{"url":"http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/selectall/2016/09/30/30-pewdiepie.w710.h473.2x.jpg","fileReference":"/content/dam/daily/selectall/2016/09/30/30-pewdiepie.jpg"}},{"entry":{"entrytext":"
In retrospect, it's kind of crazy that even though celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Katy Perry had gotten their own mobile games, web-native celebrities like PewDiePie hadn't. That changed this week with the release of Tuber Simulator, a new mobile game that lets you become a web star under the tutelage of the most popular YouTuber in the world."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
Tuber Simulator has already proved so popular that it crashed the game's servers after reaching No. 2 on the App Store charts (it was held off by the ever-present iTunes U app)."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
I tried Tuber Simulator and, because I am 6,000 years old and sleep in a coffin like a vampire, I found the game very boring. It's fine? It's fine. I will say this, the game does not do itself any favors by having the expressive gamer boy yell at you as soon as it loads."}},{"secondaryimage":{"url":"http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/selectall/2016/09/30/pewdiepie_00.nocrop.w710.h2147483647.2x.jpg","fileReference":"/content/dam/daily/selectall/2016/09/30/pewdiepie_00.jpg"}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
Tuber Simulator is one of those games where you click a bunch of menu options to start timers and then wait for those timers to end so you can click them again. Maybe the most well-known of these games is Tiny Tower."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
The loop of Tuber Simulator is this: You are a Tuber (legalities prevent you from being a Y**T****) sitting in a room. You can buy furniture for the room, which you pay for by getting video views. You create videos by tapping on one of a few options with names like "Flushing while they shower DUBSTEP." Creating a video starts a timer, and once that ticks down, you get currency with which to buy room customizations. Those things — rugs, chairs, accoutrements — also arrive via a timer. You can pay real money to speed up the timer. You can also upgrade a skill tree that lets you accrue views and fans and currency even faster. It's a complex system of tapping through menus and starting a variety of different timers."}},{"secondaryimage":{"url":"http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/selectall/2016/09/30/tuber_simulator.w710.h473.2x.jpg","caption":"Me at my posting station.","fileReference":"/content/dam/daily/selectall/2016/09/30/tuber_simulator.jpg"}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
I don't think there's much else there. Like I said before, it's fine. Games don't need to be complicated. Fans of PewDiePie will enjoy hearing him yell and the game's pixelated art style.

Does the game accurately reflect what it's like to be a YouTuber? I suspect it does. It's kind of boring, and you just sit at your computer all day and check what's trending and wait for stuff to upload. I feel like it might be more realistic if you had to also go to your normal 9-to-5 day job to, you know, pay rent, but otherwise, Tuber Simulator is as boring as the profession it depicts."}}],"excerpt":"The most popular vlogger in the world finally gets a mobile game of his own.","crossPostBlogs":["Select All"],"indexLayout":"Medium Image","featureTypes":["News-Commentary and Analysis","Review","News-Aggregation"],"sectionLedes":[],"primaryImage":{"url":"http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/selectall/2016/09/30/30-pewdiepie.w710.h473.2x.jpg","image":{"mimeType":"image/jpeg","altRenditions":{},"crops":{"default":{"y":1041,"x":5,"height":796,"width":1194}},"kbytes":348,"_links":{"self":{"href":"/v1/content/assets/images/daily/selectall/2016/09/30/30-pewdiepie.jpg"},"cdn":{"href":"https://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/selectall/2016/09/30/30-pewdiepie.jpg"}},"storageId":{"id":"0a9408897e1d7c562b5a21a37a55d122273613c5"},"uploader":"KSergeyev","modifiedDate":"2016-09-30T20:48:52.483Z","path":"daily/selectall/2016/09/30/30-pewdiepie.jpg","metadata":{},"dimension":{"width":1200,"height":2134},"uploadDate":"2016-09-30T20:48:52.483Z"}},"entryLayout":"Medium Image","channel":"Other","status":"published","canonicalUrl":"http://nymag.com/selectall/2016/09/tuber-simulator-pewdiepies-mobile-game-is-very-popular.html","tags":["tuber simulator","pewdiepie"],"entryTitle":"PewDiePie's Mobile Game Is Very Popular and Very Boring","publishDate":"2016-09-30T21:06:28+00:00","authoredBy":["Brian Feldman"],"blogName":"Select All","excludeMostViewed":false,"cmsSource":"clay","entryTextTotalWords":450,"topStoryStatus":"Normal","excludeRss":false,"excludeAllFeeds":false},{"body":[{"primaryImage":{"url":"http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/fashion/daily/2016/30-child-abuse.w710.h473.2x.jpg","credit":"Photo: Courtesy of Facebook/Erika Burch","fileReference":"/content/dam/fashion/daily/2016/30-child-abuse.jpg"}},{"entry":{"entrytext":"
It's an all-too-common cycle: A woman posts about something she saw on Facebook, the post gets picked up by online news outlets, goes viral, and ends up on Good Morning America. Though many people respond in support of the woman's actions and her post, there are plenty of "mind your own business" comments too. And now, nearly two weeks into the discussion, we finally begin to ask ourselves the inevitable, ethical questions surrounding the issue."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
Except this time, it's a little different, because of the nature of the incident."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
On September 19, in Cleveland, Texas, a 25-year-old woman named Erica Burch witnessed a man with a young child around 5 to 7 years old. The man had taken the child's hair and wrapped it around the shopping cart handle — ostensibly to keep her beside him — and was dragging her alongside the cart with him. Burch wrote on Facebook that the child was crying and saying, "Please stop, I promise I won't do it again.""}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
Burch said she intervened, speaking with the man several times before calling 911 and alerting a police officer who happened to be in the store. The police department later posted on its own Facebook page that the incident was being investigated."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
The post, which has been shared more than 240,000 times on Facebook, had hundreds of commenters supporting Burch's actions. But the detractors were there too, and the typical reaction could be summed up in a comment like this:"}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
"did anyone bother to ask what the girls was doing. Ive seen may uncontrolled children in stores yelling and running around causing a scene, with their Parents ignoring them . So get the whole story before you stick your nose into Parents discipline. Maybe if the public let parents do their jobs and not put their noses into someone else business then our world would be a better place to live. Abuse is the "intent to cause harm" …discipline is not.""}},{"blockquote":{"entrytext":"
The New York Times summed up the discussion in a headline: "Should You Intervene When a Parent Harshly Disciplines a Child in Public?""}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
I would argue that the answer is always yes. Adults on this planet have an ethical, moral obligation to children, even at the risk of our own bodies. On a theoretical level, stepping in or calling the police is absolutely something we should do if we see a child being harmed."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
Obviously, it's more complicated than that: We can't agree yet on what is and isn't abuse. Spanking has been found to be detrimental to children's mental and emotional health, for example, but plenty of people still do it. And of course, many of us do not trust the police, and no one wants to overreact and send a child off to the foster system over a bad parenting moment."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
But the incident described wasn't a fringe case. If my husband did this to me — grabbed my hair and wrapped it around a shopping cart to tether me to him — it would be obviously viewed as abusive. Adults cannot treat each other this way. So why is a child different?"}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
Historically, children have been viewed as property. But that view is outmoded, clearly. Children aren't possessions, and in obvious cases of abuse — as this one was by all accounts — adult humans should never question whether or not to act on their behalf. Not doing so can have disastrous consequences, and in fact, children sometimes die, even when social workers are alerted. The case of a 6-year old boy who died at the hands of his parents this Monday in New York City after authorities were repeatedly alerted makes that clear."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
A more pressing question in this scenario is whether or not to post about it on Facebook, especially as the post contains photographs of the child. This is a question we are all grappling with day by day, as the rules around privacy and social media shift. Often people with children and those who write about them err on the side of caution. At the very least, a child's face can be blurred."}},{"entrytext":{"entrytext":"
There aren't any easy answers, but one thing is for sure: Erica Burch did the right thing in not ignoring the incident."}}],"excerpt":"The safety of the child should come first.","crossPostBlogs":["The Cut"],"indexLayout":"Horizontal","featureTypes":["News-Commentary and Analysis"],"sectionLedes":[],"primaryImage":{"url":"http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/fashion/daily/2016/30-child-abuse.w710.h473.2x.jpg","credit":"Photo: Courtesy of Facebook/Erika Burch","image":{"mimeType":"image/jpeg","altRenditions":{},"crops":{"default":{"y":183,"x":0,"height":284,"width":427}},"kbytes":67,"_links":{"self":{"href":"/v1/content/assets/images/fashion/daily/2016/30-child-abuse.jpg"},"cdn":{"href":"https://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/fashion/daily/2016/30-child-abuse.jpg"}},"storageId":{"id":"0eeefc51d1b82bb624a49bf1101e342b48e4d6ac"},"uploader":"rsalinas","modifiedDate":"2016-09-30T20:33:23.952Z","path":"fashion/daily/2016/30-child-abuse.jpg","metadata":{"credit":"Courtesy of Facebook/Erika Burch","photoType":"Photo"},"dimension":{"width":427,"height":641},"uploadDate":"2016-09-30T20:33:01.792Z"}},"entryLayout":"Medium Horizontal","channel":"Beauty","status":"published","canonicalUrl":"http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/09/you-should-intervene-if-you-think-a-child-is-being-abused.html","tags":["motherhood","parenting","common sense"],"entryTitle":"Yes, You Should Intervene If You Think a Child Is Being Abused","publishDate":"2016-09-30T21:02:31+00:00","authoredBy":["Laura June"],"blogName":"The Cut","excludeMostViewed":false,"cmsSource":"clay","entryTextTotalWords":685,"topStoryStatus":"Normal","excludeRss":false,"excludeAllFeeds":false},{"status":"published","isGoogleStandout":false,"excerpt":"It's been a good week for Michael Shannon fans.","beforeTheJump":"
