I love them all*, but the IT Crowd is at the top for me

I never actually watched dead set, but I remember it was airing at the same time I had a Media Studies project at school about zombies so the tutors kept bringing it up

Putting aside questions of ecosystems etc, I think the main reason is that we just can't - ironic since we seem to be extint-ing all the other animals

In South America they tried in the 50s and 60s, and more kept cropping up. They breed so quickly, if you miss an area they can just rebound. Then more can come in on ships and stuff

So you couldn't really localise it, it would have to be a huge global undertaking. And it would likely require widespread use of pesticides that are at best tricksy and at worst illegal, not to mention environmentally shitty

Bill is the pony that travels with the Fellowship from Bree to the Mines of Moria. I hope he has a good birthday

For anyone who is politically involved and knows the issues, Walz won by having better and more consistent positions; as well as Vance saying some scary fascist level shit

But I fear that most undecided voters aren't in that camp, and for those people Vance did well just be being coherent and vaguely normal.

Vance lied and twisted the truth a bunch, but if you just tuned in without knowing all the facts and context, that wasn't necessarily clear

For me though I was pleasantly surprised by Walz actually making a moral case for immigration, you don't see that nearly enough

Coppola was heavily involved in the production of the film where some of the abuse happened, and during the fallout he allegedly tried to sue the victim of the abuse for breach of contract

I don't know why you're being down voted, he is literally a billionaire

'No ethical billionaires' apart from this guy apparently

Honestly looks pretty good as actiony eye-candy

Bit ironic seeing this right after that post about how the fan-service and callbacks ruined the new Alien film though

The Stanford Prison Experiment. But it shouldn't be taken seriously, it was terribly done, biased and unscientific

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31380664/

Could be interesting to run something similar under actual experimental conditions, if that was doable

I don't know why you are using in person community praxis as a refutation of an online space being toxic

Real life isn't online, the issue is an online space being shitty

I'd like to recommend The Trojan Horse Affair. Its a limited series and a few years old now, but a a really interesting listen

Its about the scandal in the UK in 2013, where an anonymous letter 'exposed' an Islamist conspiracy in Birmingham schools to radicalise children.

The investigation in the podcast is helmed by two people; a rookie journalism grad who is muslim, and an experienced white journalist. The contrast in perspectives and emotion between them adds to it

And yeah it'll probably make you angry, and for those not in the UK it might key you in a bit on the tensions that do and don't exist with British Muslims, how they're viewed and treated by lots of parties here (including the Government)
