Why does Patriot keep prominently showing Prague landmarks including one of the most famous bridges in world when it's meant to be set in Luxembourg?

Lick! The! Whisk! posted:

It doesn't help that TERFs are among the worst people on this planet, second wave feminists have turned into HRC apologistas/bloodthirsty hawks, third wave feminists have a significant minority of their online presence dominated by people who bitch about Marvel on tumblr and such nightmare hell people as Lena Dunham, male feminists are routinely creepy pathetic losers attempting, badly and obviously, to get into women's pants by being the most unnecessary white knights ever, and white feminists in general have been on a campaign of race erasure/capitalist reinforcement ever and especially since HRC lost.

Much like "liberal" the label "feminist" is a rough one to rock right now. I call myself a feminist ally nowadays just to be done with it since male feminists have so routinely and thoroughly hosed up the label for the rest of us.

I think at this point it might be better to cut losses on the term, and just call ourselves humanists. That pretty much covers everything, because being a proper humanist entails support for universal human rights, gender equality, the dismantling of discriminatory hierarchies and dehumanizing cultural traditions, and the reform of legal and economic systems that routinely trample on human dignity. everyone who cares about civil rights should be against the bastards, together, and maybe feminism has become too much of an exclusionary, divisive term.

Doing that would be playing into the hands of the people who demonized feminism in the first place, like Rush Limbaugh.

I saw this before Colossal when I watched it today, and yeah, what the gently caress. I THINK it's about a boy genius who has a terminal illness, but wants to save his friend from her abusive stepdad, so he concocts this Rube Goldberg device of a plan, to be executed by his mother and younger brother. That is certainly the plot of a movie there.

Folie a Deux is a great X-files episode but it's one of those where Scully's seen way too much poo poo to be as skeptical as she is about the situation.

First season of Bosch has it's problems (primarily cliched serial killer storyline & family in peril), and seasons 2 and 3 are significantly better, but if you're not liking the type of show it is it's probably not for you.

I've watched the first 2 now. I very much like the genre it's going for but it's a little too much like "dad fiction power fantasy". Like in episode 2 he bangs the rookie and next scene is his gross coworkers almost literally high fiving him. Does that aspect get better?

What's interesting is Lansdale like to weave supporting characters in and out of his books, so one small character from one book may pop up as a supporting character in another book. The reason I mention this, is because the Don Johnson character in Cold in July turns up later in several Hap and Leonard novels.

That would be incredible.
