February 1

I watched the series finale for The Good Place last night. It was lovely. In a way, how could it not. If the premise for the after life is that even if you did not initially earn entry into an eternal paradise, you would receive limitless mulligans after your death where you prove your worthiness instead of being subjected to endless penis flattening or bees with teeth, we can all get behind such a construction. And once there, you can idle away eternity learning how to whittle wood or pave driveways or read all the books you want while also having portals that take you back to any point in your mortal life where you could relive those experiences. And once you have checked off everything on your bucket list, you have sucked the marrow out of the after life, you have played your perfect game of Madden or received the validation from your parents you constantly sought but never received, you can walk through a meditative forest, walk through a door, and peace out.
