I was just thinking about that show last night and wondering if/when season 2 was coming out, as it had good reviews, great cast, a good plot, and the dialogue was pretty good too.
Went to the Wikipedia page and found out Amazon cancelled it two months after it’s debut. Two months! They didn’t even give it a chance.
Great article about a very sad situation. But glad steps are being taken to try to fix it for those affected.
Maybe it’s just me, but these two gals don’t look like identical twins. Sisters? Definitely. But some of their facial features are different enough that you can easily tell them assist from each other. And I don’t think it’s just down to lighting or makeup.
In America a resume is basically a slightly shortened CV. But from my experience (as someone who has lived and worked in IT in both the US and the UK) they are nearly identical. They both summarize your work history in almost identical styles. But the resume is preferably limited to 2 pages maximum, while a CV can be longer.
I don’t recall ever having both a resume and a CV in the UK and initially applying with a resume and then bringing the longer CV to the interview. It was just a name and length expectation difference that separated them.
Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than MH27 MH17
This seems to be the prevalent trend with most channels that gain traction. They start focusing more on selling their plushies, clothing, tools, or other shitty branded merchandise, and less on the content that got them there.
Maybe it’s because original content creation is hard work. I get that. But holy shit, when they start hawking their stupid merch hard their credibility just goes down the toilet.
He was never a favourite content creator of mine, but some of John Campbell’s videos at the start of the pandemic were very informative. Then he started getting high on all his own hype, reporting more and more dubious psuedo-science, and getting into stupid spats with other YouTubers and pandemic ‘celebrities’.
On your first point, the plugs have improved quite a lot in the last 10 or so years. Still not enough compared to most other Western standards, and it’s taken to long. But they have improved.
…Just in time for USB plugs and sockets to start taking off. Though I’m not sure how big a deal those are when it comes to safety.

My wife and I (both Xers) have started frequently trolling our son with “stop the cap!” when he’s being… economical with the truth. Somehow that level of low-grade, passive-aggressive sarcasm seems very fitting to our generation.
Definitely this! I loaded fun videos on micro sd cards and popped them into each of my kids’ tablets for a transatlantic flight recently. It saved my sanity big time.
Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?
Her vehement and vocal hatred for trans people is pretty strange to me. She just won’t let it go, no matter the fact that her very vocal opinions on the topic are destroying her own legacy.
I get that people are entitled to their opinions. But most people keep their thoughts to themselves if they start getting a lot of backlash. But she just keeps picking at it and making things worse for herself. I don’t know if it’s some sort of resentment born out of deeply hurt feelings, or unbridled arrogance that as a very rich and successful person people need to accept her opinions. Or maybe both. But it’s not working and she’s doing more harm than good, including to herself.
