The TV Thread

Just the way they instantly crumble at any level of scrutiny. Watched it with my daughter and she was saying this is exactly the kind of shit loads of boys at her school are coming out with. But hey ho this is just acceptable entertainment for children now and nothing can be done about it. Honestly what a bunch of feckless fucking failures we really all are.

Now up to season 5 of Southland, so glad I started watching it again, it’s nothing short of outstanding. If anyone hasn’t seen it and is in the market for some gritty and sometimes funny LA based cop drama action, it comes highly recommended.

Just finished it.

Initially reflection is that suddenly I feel much better about myself.

For society, we’re fucked.

Watched it this evening - genuinly don’t think they actually believe half the shit they are saying, just are so morally bankrupt that they don’t care as it gains traction which means more money. Unfortunately though there are many people who do buy into this shit, not at all helped when one of (if not the) most powerful people in the world is President and shares the same ideologies.

I purposely try to be ignorant about a lot of what’s going on in the world for my own sanity, which in doing so raises a lot of arguments with myself in my own mind, but that’s another story. However I genuinely fear for what’s going on in so many aspects of society and the world as a whole right now. Everything feels so fucked and everyone feels so divided.

My late Dad used to say that there are more good people in this world than bad, and while I still believe that, I fear the loudness and influence of “the bad” are starting to make the amount of “good” irrelevant. I hope I am incredibly wrong in this fear though!

The best bit was a 23 yr old masculine life coach and fitness influencer saying “Mummy I dont want any juice”

It felt like there’s a bunch of thick people that believe this manosphere stuff and a smaller bunch of slightly less thick and more savvy people making money off them. It’s a weird business model though; they earn money by projecting this baller image (£20k/month apartments) but have to spend all the money they earn to keep up the lifestyle that earns them the money. Feels a bit house of cards.

I don’t think they have the cognitive ability to think of foresight.

I think there has always been a large proportion of thick people. Its just they can all communicate now and thickness grows thickness.

Manosphere douchebaggery aside, this was one of the best Louis episodes for ages. My favourite ones are when he’s talking to absolute kooks and just being himself.

Also another interesting thing I noticed is I always used to find him hilariously awkward and a bit of a loveable weirdo, the older I get the more I realise he’s actually very normal and just doesn’t really give a fuck how he comes across and he’s literally just maintaining normalcy while surrounded by weirdos. The juxtaposition is the weird thing, not how he’s acting.

I dunno when he was laughing their faces when they were talking was pretty funny.

One bird from my Town, always thought the sun shined out her twunt got loads of followers in Covid banging on about it being a planneddemic and all that shite. Next thing she’s selling fat loss shakes to her followers, Next another pyramid scheme or 2. Now she’s a life coach, 3 kids 3 dads, rich parents footing her bills anyway but fucking hell, this shit she comes out with. She’s praying on all these people that want to be a “boss bitch”. Fully promoting being single, and if he didn’t already have kids she would be promoting having no kids to get that bag. People seem to pay her to be part of a group that just regurgitates basically being a horrible selfish Michael Fabricant.

It’s fucked up.

I love how a lot of them think he’s out to do a hit piece on them when all he has to do is remain silent and let them speak for themselves. Brings it home when you see early footage of them as kids and you have to think what went wrong and how much damage they’ll perpetuate broadcasting their bullshit.
