Honestly, he just skipped the step in the teenage heartthrob career where you're required to develop a personality.

Re-watching Deadloch on amazon because I just rewatched Our Flag Means Death and its that whole NZ comedy thing (this time about lesbian gentrifiers). Anyway, Deadloch is still amazing.

Coming to realise that I suffer from post-Brexit trauma where you automatically assume the EU is always right - which they aren't at the best of times, and these are not the best of times - just because that's your side in the culture wars.

Is Steven Miller's wife giving interviews about how horny she is for her husband because of that weird throuple-rumour a few months ago (or a few days- what is time anyway?)? That she left to be with the other guy in their throuple.

Hey, I'm trying to learn more about toxicity on Bluesky. How often do you see toxicity on here? Where in the app do you see it?

Tbf, when writers don't know how to end a story, it either turns out that everyone was dead all along, or that it was all a dream.

When musicians don’t know how to end a song, they just fade out. I think other writers should do that too. Sketch comedy, screenwriting, playwrights. Have everyone talk softer and softer as they slowly sneak off stage.
Novelists can end chapters with gradually shrinking type.

Israel is piling crime on top of crime on top of crime.

No wonder it is determined to bring down the entire edifice of international humanitarian law - it's the only hope of protecting itself from consequences.

Btw: the allegations are significantly worse than bedbugs.

Greta Thunberg says she is being detained by Israel in cell ‘infested with bedbugs’

Exclusive: Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water Environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg has told Swedish officials she is being subjected to harsh treatment in Israeli custody after her detention and removal from a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza, according to correspondence seen by the Guardian. According to the correspondence, Israeli forces are also reported by another detainee to have taken photographs where Thunberg was allegedly forced to hold flags. The identity of the flags are unknown. Continue reading...

There are more recent adaptations as well. There’s a pretty good German one and, tbf, a contemporary US one would probably need to include gun violence, and other countries don't do that. This was standard curriculum in Germany when I went to school. The link to the movie is incuded in the thread.

Honestly, Oppenheimer would have been better as a 6 or 8 ep. HBO series. It's so long that people watch it in installments at home anyway and you might have room for characters to say more than 'hi, my name is X, I also worked on the Manhattan project'.

Cough. Chappelle. Gervais. Then again, I wonder how long it will take them to realise Netflix's Obama-ties or that you can see foreign stuff on there.

And there it is. The entire attack on Netflix is just a grift for far right influencers to promote a religious streaming site.
