What are we watching now?

That's why I have such a love/hate relationship with most Media, and the TV, in general. All the time lost
spent looking for something inspiring or fun to watch, and then the realization that there is actually
so very little of it.

Then I beat myself up for trying, and think of the multiplicity of ways the time could have been better spent.
But I can't get that time back.

Only to forget all of that and do it all again.





I may end up just doing Youtube at some point. For some reason I can always find something cool on there.

My FB algorithm for reels is majority shit but at the same time I get a lot of long form geography and exotic food content that makes up for the political vitriol (mostly stuff from “not my side” so I’m certainly not in an echo chamber lol). Often worth scrolling through the shit to get the good bits

Not to don the tinfoil hat but I swear we are all purposely getting forced into mass ADHD. We watched a show over the weekend (Deadloch) Police procedural from down under. It took a bit to enjoy it but we ended up having some good laughs. The thing I definitely noticed was every character was moving 1000 miles an hour, yelling and doing nonsensical things out of nowhere. It was serious TRIGGERING. I've seen a bunch of other series and shorter form stuff doing variations on this same thing. The Bear S2(?) christmas dinner episode is a prime example. Good lord; quit yelling at the viewer

I gave up on the show after that. WAYYYYYY too much anxiety triggering for me. JLC was playing a variation in that Scarpetta show with Nicole Kidman and it was just shy of being the same thing there, too.

She seems to only play those roles lately.
