I have such a big crush on Rory Culkin and was pissed he was only in Swarm for about 30 seconds. That has nothing to do with Roman Roy but I DONT CARE. GIVE ME RORY CULKIN!!!

But those 30 seconds were something…

I guess if your brother is Macaulay Culkin who went through superstar levels of fame, you are gonna be a bit more reticent about your own.

Make it make sense

"The idea of having a house and cars and trying to figure out the school system and how to commute - that is very easy for most, I’m assuming, but I can’t do that.”

“I feel like what I’m supposed to do is be a stay-at-home dad. That’s where I feel like I’m the most me. And anything that takes me away from that is wrong.”

The weaponized incompetence jumps out! His calling is to be a stay-at-home dad, and yet he refuses to do the administrative work of parenting. Straight men are such terrible people, I swear.

Yeah ngl "that is very easy for most, I’m assuming, but I can’t do that" seemed odd to me because that kind of thing really isn't easy for most parents; they just have to do it. Perhaps the full article provides more context? I'm too lazy to read it though.

in the context of the article he's explaining why they chose to stay in the city vs moving to the burbs or whatever, so it makes sense to me

Reposting from down thread: I understood the context was him talking about city living versus suburban living, but later on in the article: "But then they had one kid followed by another, and one day he woke up and felt like his family was living in the apartment of a 'nineteen-year-old who doesn’t know how to do the dishes himself yet.'"

He has mentioned this in other interviews-how his wife had to push him to buy a bigger place because he was making good money on Succession and they were living in a cramped apartment with two kids. There is just a pattern of weaponized incompetence (that a lot of men display!) and it's just not cute.

His friendship with Sarah Snook is so cute

<3 I get the same feeling when I'm with my baby girl.
