Luton town are in 3rd with 4 games to go. Promotion to the Premier League is looking more and more real.
5 points behind the Blades and they have a match in hand. Feel like you'll be in the playoff rather than automatic promotion. I'm for 'boro but it would be lovely to see any of those four in the playoff spots now in the prem again.

first time I was introduced to this soundtrack composer was in the Utopia TV show
I did like the score for white lotus quite a lot - didn't realize he was the same guy as Utopia! I loved Utopia - and I just realized I don't think I watched season 2 of that, thanks for the reminder!

There's also a tendency (in both seasons) to give the characters a nuanced personality. We're presented with a group of somewhat archetypal characters, then constantly thrown curveballs as their personalities and motives. You end up sympathizing with and resenting almost each character equally by the end of it and makes it feel like such a heady ride. And, I may be a softee here, but I found the son's story genuinely uplifting. When he fucks off from be relegated to living in the kitchenette and starts sleeping on the beach and with the canoe team and all? Good stuff.
I did like quite a lot of the characters, but found most of the storylines to be...a little pedestrian? i dunno. Like it was good, but not great?

Watched The Banshees of Inisherin on the plane recently. Darkly funny, some really well delivered lines and gorgeous scenery. 8 chens out of 10.
Did you need subtitles? We did
Nope. The brogue wasn't that thick. Also probably helped I was listening through headphones, so didn't have to deal with the compression issues as much, they duck dialogue under the audio so much on streaming services these days.

that's the best you got for one of the best TV shows that came out in recent times?
I mean - it was pretty average. S1 was better than S2, except of course the scenery in S2 is lush as fuck. I did laugh like fuck at the ending for S.2 when Coolidge went out the way she did. Super fitting.
What it made it one of the best TV show that came out in recent times for you?

The White Lotus - stupid rich people doing stupid rich things and getting stupid outcomes. Nobody learns anything and yet it's somehow all kind of entertaining.
Shrinking - I watched the whole thing and it was good and funny and smart, but fuck if people talked to me like that I'd think I was in a neighbourhood where everybody did coke all the time.

"more than 30 counts related to business fraud" so i guess not the porn star
indictment to be unsealed in coming days
I've been reading the number 34 counts being tossed around, but no actual evidence to back it up - the indictment is sealed so not sure where they are getting that number from.
Anyways:
And a decent summary of things here: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/manhattan-grand-jury-voted-whether-indict-trump-rcna73588
And Robert Reich provides a decent analysis of three criticisms that will likely come up here: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trump-is-indicted

It makes me feel like a huge manchild that everyone is using this site for books, except me who uses it to download ps1 and N64 roms for my vita

This is why its so much more than a library. Like my public library is dope - they lend musical instruments, have makerspaces, etc. but look at all this knowledge that is up on archive. Intellectual Property laws need significant change. Lawrence Lessig kind of got at it 12 years ago (earlier than that actually but this speech to the World Intellectual Property Organization is amazing) here. 30 minutes well spent.

fcuk those copyrights. hopefully they argue that internet archive is acting as a library.. which also lends out books.
But libraries pay for hard copies of the books and have special copyright laws?
They need to argue they are something else, because they are so very important in preserving human knowledge and culture (like that amazing film "In Our Garden").

So far, Stairs Wine, Nonce Tarter, Major Miner, Taming of the View, and Lucon Acid have been my faves. Great acid from Luke! Murky Buckets!
