after 50 years of Kiss, the band is now interested in a kind of digital immortality.

...This feels like a punishment..

Yep, sounds like the Streisand effect. I've been watching him on The Boys for the last four years and never realized he was Jack Quaid as in Dennis Quaid's kid. And I certainly didn't realize his mother was Meg Ryan.

"Don't call my baby a nepo baby!"

"Wait, the guy from The Boys is Meg Ryan's kid?" lol

That doesn't change the fact that they're nepo babies. That's not even a counterpoint, you've just listed examples of nepo babies lmao.

Fortunately, I haven't seen anything that'd suggest he is. And being a nepo baby doesn't suggest it in and of itself either. Meg's just pissy because "the little people" are pointing out that her son had access and opportunities that 99.9% of us don't. He had a leg up on everyone by the circumstances of his birth, it's just silly to try and handwave it away and pretend he got there purely on merit.. It is what it is.

Plenty of struggling actors have a good work ethic but don’t have powerful/successful mommies and daddies giving them a foot in the door, Meg.

It’s not dismissive to call him a nepo baby. It’s just a reflection of reality. It doesn’t make him a bad actor, it’s just acknowledging he was privileged by being the son of two very famous actors. Besides, [puts on Jeff Foxworthy mustache] If the biggest hardship you face in your life is being called a “nepo baby” then you just might be a nepo baby

He was great. The Serge A. Storm series is pretty twisted in the funniest ways possible without feeling overly dark. Although full disclosure, I’ve only read the first 9 novels in the series but back around 2007 that was all of them.

To be honest I hadn’t thought about Tim Dorsey in years and had no idea he continued adding to the series as recently as this past February but there’s apparently 26 books total now! So I can only recommend the first nine but wouldn’t be surprised if they’re all great.

If you give it a shot I’d suggest looking up the chronological order on Wikipedia because the first five novels jump around in the timeline and it can be a little confusing.

It's just the source is non credible
