Moved onto the next Poirot while distracted by my custard haze. This is an archeology ep, so I will be watching out for the quality of trowling techniques, neatness of trenches, record keeping etc.

One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.
a clinic that provided services to 12,000 people being closed on the basis of 8 complaints perfectly captures the nature of the uk 'trans-debate'

NHS closed Tavistock over care complaints – there were only eight
An eye-opening FOI report has revealed that just eight people complained about the Tavistock gender clinic's care provision in 10 years.

Olympians ran out of Milan's complimentary condoms just three days into the competition.
Winter Olympians Run Through Free Condoms in Record Time
Despite a smaller athlete pool, they wasted no time ransacking the free stash.

Decided that Poirot will be a sensible choice for a bit tonight. Had got to s7 & longer length eps. This is another one with an actress, so a cheeky bit of that Scottish play to start with.

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

Very glad it's finally the end of the week. Feel quite done with it tbh. Will be going for no news, comfort watching, joy hobbies & similar. No more Mythic Quest for a bit. Maybe a mix of old & newer stuff though.

I know right! But until fairly recently we paid extra vat on them. 5 years ago if I'm getting the timing right!

Sharpen your fangs for Werner Herzog's own take of Muranu's #SilentFilm masterpiece #Nosferatu with Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social, tonight, 10:10PM. Remakes can fail, but this one is wonderful viewing and incredibly haunting! We like it anyways!

😡🤬 Single people already pay more for a ton of stuff! Single tax is already a thing. And women's stuff has pink tax. For instance - I grew up paying more for sanitary products as they used to be labelled as a 'luxury'. 'Women'sx versions of products are pricier.
So they can both fuck right off!

Think this weekend is going to have to include some comfort tv. And maybe something silly or joyous. Nothing pandemic related, not even in passing.

The quarantine ep made me sad, thought that wasn't the point, but the silly d&d sorta ep helped after that. Calling it a night though. Need to think some happy thoughts for a bit.

We’re officially cancelling the “guilty” part of guilty pleasures. Do not feel guilty about that cringy early 2000’s TV comfort show. Do not feel guilty about that spicy book. Do not feel guilty about that smooth smooth yacht rock or that 90s sitcom with 127 episodes a season. You’ve all earned it.

I don't whether this has any relation to actual game companies, but some of the characters feel like they could be employees of a gsme company. And the influencer def seems kinda right! 😋
