new mixed bag falls into my favorite genre of two crew media reaction which is emily saying she liked a piece of media and the boys all being various layers of horrified and shocked that anyone could like it.

Emily making the Halloween one shot absolutely terrifying, and the boys making the the goofiest, most dysfunctional family of Rogue PI's. A+, I love the Vantasmos.

. . . she felt them inhabiting some simulacrum of coupledom that was both torturous and enticing.

In light of the recent Mixed Bag, wouldn't it be great for Murph to guest on the next chapter of Candela Obscura?

Dukka, the word I think Robin is referring to, I sometimes think of as meaning discord or being out of joint or out of tune with the world. Here below is a bit more that arrives at its origins in the wobbly axle of ancient times that has also let me think of it as a flat tire in modern ones.
According to Monier-Williams in his Sanskrit-English Dictionary, duhkha means “uneasy, uncomfortable, unpleasant, difficult.”
If we give up trying to translate dukkha into one word, it could be said that it is an existential sense that things are not as they should be, which manifests in human experience in varying degrees between despair (things are vastly different from the way things should be) and a vague uneasiness (things are not quite as they should be). By “existential sense” I mean a perception based on our experience of the world as self-conscious beings. Whether we are philosophers or not, the nature of our existence and our relationship to the world is of supreme importance to us. We are sentient beings who are acutely aware of our existence, and therefore our potential non-existence. When humans contemplate this great matter, we typically experience dukkha.
The subtle nature of the experience of dukkha can be understood further from its etymology. Sargeant (2009, p. 303) explains the historical roots of duḥkha and its antonym sukha:
It is perhaps amusing to note the etymology of the words sukha (pleasure, comfort, bliss) and duḥkha (misery, unhappiness, pain). The ancient Aryans who brought the Sanskrit language to India were a nomadic, horse- and cattle-breeding people who travelled in horse- or ox-drawn vehicles. Su and dus are prefixes indicating good or bad. The word kha, in later Sanskrit meaning "sky," "ether," or "space," was originally the word for "hole," particularly an axle hole of one of the Aryan's vehicles. Thus sukha … meant, originally, "having a good axle hole," while duhkha meant "having a poor axle hole," leading to discomfort.
For me, it helps to demystify dukkha to imagine someone getting nauseous from riding in a cart that keeps swaying from side to side who is thinking to himself, “Oy, this is very uncomfortable.” https://brightwayzen.org/not-misunderstanding-dukkha/
