I see Jonathan Ross has outed himself as a transphobe on Twitter. I tell you, it's that generation of not-as-bright-as-they-think-they-are early gen-xers who spent most of the 90s being lary "ironically mysogynist" twats and all go to each others dinner parties and tut about people who've actually thought about poo poo. Edit: 2 snipes in a row jesus. I'm too feverish to post a cat pic or number fact

The schools might still be open (for now) but certainly the ones around us have a policy of "if your child has a new cough or any other symptoms, STAY AT HOME." Didn't stop one of the parents bringing in their child this morning, after they were off yesterday because of a new, persistent cough, from bringing them in this morning with the justification of "it's only a cough." The headmaster sent them home immediately, of course, but they were mingling with other parents and kids around the entrance for a while before the doors were opened. Why are people so loving dumb?

My parents were in Chile recently for my grandmother's 89th birthday and yesterday decided they needed to get home ASAP before the borders closed and they were stuck there. Routed back to Dublin via JFK and, in my Dad's words, 'nobody's heard of social distancing here!' They were kept in the usual immigration control line, 2500 people in one big room, no apparent hygiene controls and only a cursory CDC check, then a 12 hour layover in the airport itself. Given both my parents are in their 60s and have COPD I'm just going to spend the next two weeks in terror of getting a message like 'your mother has a cough and I'm feeling a bit warm but I'm sure it's nothing to worry yourself about'. They're both being very sensible and taking the situation seriously but it seems the yanks aren't. gently caress sake.

OwlFancier posted:If you like all the others you will probably like criminal minds, it's a cop show based around FBI psychological profilers so if you like the psycho killer type baddies you'll probably like that show. Quite similar to lawnorder svu and CSI, not any more reality based than they are. Criminal Minds has the IRA super spy that flies around on private jets after escaping from a North Korean blacksite for ultra terrorists. What do you mean unrealistic?

I don't pay for any tv/satellite progs. except the tv licence - which while I resent it from the point of view of BBC News output, is not bad for their drama and non-politics stuff and not paying the licence is not a hill I want to die on financially!

I gave up on Bosch when they fell into the pit of "show a character playing a musical instrument which the actor clearly has no idea how to actually play" not nearly as bad as Sherlock though

I've just been ominously debriefed (fnarr) by my manager to the effect that the situation is more serious and prolonged than our upper management thought - but then it's hard to gauge how serious they were taking it beforehand.

Yes - eg Midsomer Murders. One of the main reasons for having the replacement to John Nettles' Barnaby character retaining the name Barnaby (by being his cousin) was because there are parts of the world where the show is sold as 'Inspector Barnaby' rather than MM

I read on twitter and on FB that TGI Fridays are not allowing staff to clock in (and start being paid) unless there are sufficient customers. One person posted that one waiter had sat there for 4 hours not allowed to clock on.

My local school is partially shutdown because certain staff members are asthmatic or some other at risk category rather than protecting the kids as such. Lol if you end up with one young kid sent home and not the other. But mum it's not faiiiiiiiir.

Then said it was a conspiracy to cull the population by MI5. I pushed her on it and got her to agree it was pretty unlikely for MI5 and Russia to conspire to kill British pensioners by releasing a virus in China. So now she just thinks the Russians gave it to snakes in China.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Yes, Pobol Y Cwm - People of the Valley. It's been going for centuries. S4C was set up as Channel 4 Wales, meant to take welsh language programming obligations off Wales' ITV station HTV if my memory is right. After Channel 4 became its own company in 1992 so did S4C, and they basically spent 2 decades running with really small ratings for most stuff and with various governments constantly trying to shut them down because of it. They went into partnership with the BBC in 2013 I think, both to protect them from government aggro (lol) and also to bolster the BBC's welsh output, plus make S4C's stuff more accessible by subtitling all their stuff when it goes on the iPlayer hence why stuff like Pobol Y Cwm has been able to build more of an audience the last few years.

One of the kids was coughing near continuously in a way I've never heard before that sounded like he was half-choking. These were school aged kids in school hours and the schools are mostly open round here so I assume they'd literally been sent home from school to isolate. It's insane. What on earth do you do? Demand they leave immediately because their kid is coughing? Get into a fistfight with a plague carrier in the frozen food aisle? If it was a single parent I'd at least have sympathy that they might not have childcare but with two parents, stay at home ffs!

As usual which of these two groups does he mingle around with at BBC parties and use as professional connections and references and which is some distant cultural production which he can admire without ever having to reflect on their content.
