  1. Making a Murderer - binged on 7 episodes yesterday after watching the first one the day before, got angry after the end of the 8th and spoilered the outcome of the case because I really had to go to sleep but couldn't not find out how it all ended.

     

     

    some really infuriating, blood boiling shit in there. america really can be an utter cunt of a country when it wants to be.

     

    ultimately it's hard to know if he actually did it or not, but it seems crystal clear to me that the prosecution was utterly corrupt from the get go. it could well be that he did it and they knew it but wanted to ensure a conviction by planting evidence, or they could have just completely stitched him up, either way a complete travesty of justice.

     

    the treatment of his nephew was particularly infuriating.

     

     

     

    Had to stop after 5 episodes because it was so upsetting. May watch the some time down the line.

  2. I thought this was interesting. http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/books/2013/02/06/genius-of-dogs-brian-hare/1861497/



    Q: How do you know dogs can retain thousands of words?



    A: The interesting finding there is that from a scientific standpoint, it's not amazing. What's amazing is how the dogs learned the words. They learned it through inferential reasoning, the same process kids learn words. ... You can put a dog in a room full of toys and put new ones in, and give the new ones odd names. The dog will bring back the toy it's never seen before because it's called by a name he's never heard before.



    Q: And dogs can make inferences? Explain.



    A: That's one of the main things we're trying to communicate. They have the ability to use inferential reasoning. There are problems you have to solve quickly. Nature has equipped them with being able to make inferences. They can read our gestures. They're inferring what we're trying to tell them.

    I just want to say: fuck yelp and the people that post there. I haven't had any bad reviews about myself or anything, but Jesus, what a bunch of whiny fuckoffs. I looked through the profiles of a few people that left unfavorable reviews of my business and they're all negative, nothing but entitled bitching. I can't wait until that entire business fails.

    Did you see the most recent South Park on Yelp? Fucking great it was.

     

    They're getting sued for it though lol.

     

     

    Nah. http://www.snopes.com/south-park-yelp-lawsuit/

     

    The new season has been pretty ace though. The continuity has really refreshed their format imo.

     

    I should have known it was false. South Park has a good legal team.

     

    Yeah, this season and the last have been really good. I enjoy that there is some continuity between the episodes, like in last season the lorde bit coming on through more than one episode you know?

     

     

    Yeah, for sure, last season they introduced the concept. I think they may be handling it a bit better this time around.

     

    Funny enough, the last episode (where everybody thought Craig was gay) had very little to do with the rest of the season and it turned out to be my favorite so far. Maybe up there with their best work. Goes both ways I 'spose.
