The fuck? I've been holding down a finger and trying to scroll to the right spot (which usually fucks up when I release the hold) for years.

Has anyone here watched the Australian Crime/Detective Parody/Dramedy show Deadloch?

First of all, great show. It's about this small town in Tasmania that has been suddenly inundated with lesbians, which causes a lot of tension with the good old boys club that used to run the town before all the lesbians moved there. And now the town is in the midst of holding a feminist art gala when the bodies of murdered men start being found, so the lesbian police chief has to investigate, and high command sends her a new partner who is very brash and rude and poorly dressed and aggresively straight. I think it strikes a good balance of making a fairly compelling mystery and drama about some cops and their families, while also having it be comedic throughout.

Okay now spoilers for Deadloch:But I was disappointed that Cath (the selfish but warm and loving golden-retriever-turned-into-a-woman wife of the police chief) wasn't the murderer. I mean, on one hand it's very appropriate that in a show as deliberately feminist as this one that everyone thought the murderer was a woman, including the two women leading the investigation, but it turns out to be a man. On the other hand, the show is clearly at least in part a parody of Broadchurch, so having the spouse of the main character turn out to be the killer fits with that. Also, who doesn't want to see the warm and bubbly animal lover turn out to be a deranged murderer?

See also this random lady who appeared on my for you page talking along a similar line. Not about Deadloch, just about evil women characters. https://www.tiktok.com/@poppylaur/video/7303297766682266923

Saw a great reply to someone else posting this that said something like "Clare Daly is no friend to muslims, she denies the Uyghur genocide and the Assad gas attacks."

This one's too easy, there's a clear winner here. Harder question is

who's the better filmmaker: Brian Levant, who made the 1994 Flintstones movie and Snow Dogs AND Beethoven, or Jean-Luc Godard?

I think my favorite thing about all this was Jimmy Falun Gong posting a thread accusing Trueanon of being grifting sellouts. He’s generally a good follow, but he has an deep hatred for any podcast more popular than his. Which is every podcast.

Lol. I know a lib who's been saying that the 7th was allowed to happen by Netanyahu. But they've got terminal Trump brain and think the whole thing is part of a plot to get Trump re-elected.

Is this what pro- and anti-shippers are?

Don’t actually tell me, I’ve managed to avoid learning it this long and I’d like to keep that streak going.

I'm getting word here that the Dangerous Sniper was saved by the Ghost of Kyiv.

A new Castelvania series? I had no idea. Liked the first show quite a bit, as someone who isn't a huge animation guy.

I've cancelled my Netflix sub so I'll be stealing this one, but eager to check it out when I get a chance.

It’s been my experience that middle class suburbanites who adopt a cowboy aesthetic are some of the most politically and interpersonally noxious people out there. I can only imagine that scales as you climb the class ladder until you get to the richest person on Earth.

Though here’s the tweet that inspired my original comment. I think tpot are like LessWrong rationalist weirdos that the menswear guy got on the wrong side of and is sure to crush with contemptuous ease.

The Menswear Guy? @dieworkwear

His most infamous thread is probably the “I called your tailor” thread where he literally called Jackson Hinkle’s tailor to confirm that Hinkle was lying about wearing a bespoke suit. One of those things where it’s probably more fun to be there as it unfolds organically in your timeline, but check out the quote tweets to get a sense of the mood at the time.
