Britt Lower performance on Severance s2 e3 last night was absolutely incredible She did some of the best acting I’ve ever seen while playing Helena pretending to be Helly. She does a great fuckin job of playing the 2 different versions but this was so much more difficult and subtle. Just amazing stuff. This show is stupidly good, every aspect is a 10/10 and I am a tough audience. submitted by /u/haverchuck22 …

ChatGPT is a terrible, fascinating, and thrilling to-do list app Every day for the last few weeks, I’ve received a notification on my phone at 7:30 in the morning.
