Today I learned CRT TVs are precious cultural artifacts and it's wrong for colonizers to transport them overseas. Practically genocide.

Hey, babe, is your first curtain electronic?

Tv: Dunc

Overall rather liked it. But why only six episodes? This is shrinkflation and I won't stand for it!

I don't like the voice effect. It does not sound at all compelling.

I'm glad they came up with some explanations for the mystic powers that I can cling to.

Guy on the bus asks me, is this going to broad street, I say no, and he gets mad and yells at me. My dude, I do not make the bus routes. I can commiserate with your frustration that the bus does not go where you want the bus to go, but still, I'm not going to run up and hijack the bus from the driver.
