Good Morning, World

I was going to wish everyone a happy Monday, but it's Tuesday? Okay, sure. Happy Tuesday from me and from the fun-time brother duo of Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sam Nivola on the season premiere of the third season of Mike White's hit series The White Lotus, which aired on... Sunday? Yes Sunday. Speaking as an only child sibling relationships have always been a mystery (and a fascination) to me, but I think that maybe this whole conversation about what kind of porn your brother likes was meant to feel off? In my days on this earth I have yes watched a lot of let's say fictional recreations of this exact scenario. But I don't think that's what real life between siblings is usually like. But what do I know. As I said on Sunday...

I'm going to have to spend a lot of this season of THE WHITE LOTUS reminding myself that Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sam Nivola are NOT related, they are ACTORS playing ROLES, and the feelings I am feeling are OKAY, aren't I?? Damn you, Mike White! (I love you, Mike White.) #thewhitelotus

... I'm just thankful I can keep repeating to myself that these are two very attractive actors that Mike White has engaged in a fictionalized scenario for me, and not wrestle with it beyond that. Pretty naked people being freaks -- yes please! What did y'all think of the premiere? I refrained from asking for screeners so I could watch it weekly with everybody and not binge it all weeks ahead of time because that's an isolating way of watching the show and I don't need to review it. This is for me to have fun with! As is Patrick Schwarzenegger's bum, of which his father speaks very highly. (Speaking of weird family vibes.) As well he should! It's a great bum. And you can see plenty of it after the jump...

ETA and here is a bonus shot of Sam & Patrick I just found:
