That's not the true crime podcast my partner listens to but the one she does is these two American women going "ohmigawd, I love her glasses they're like SO cute. She looks like, a real 90s kid you know?
Anyway her body was never found but her 6 year old brother did find her severed head in their pool and killed himself"

Is this the Redscarepod?

whenever something like this shows primordial neolithic people as living in rags in a flat barren wasteland (because those are the few non-builtup, non-recognizable landscapes left on earth to film in) i just think about our sliding perceptions of nature and how obviously a landscape like we see here is hostile to human life

Apparently this is supposed to take place in mesopotemia. You know the place known as the Fertile Crescent.

oh anybody who likes cool south korean action poo poo but isnt a big fan of the capitalist discourse stuff should probably check out my name on netflix which just dropped yesterday its a pretty straightforward gangster story where the lead chick joins her dads gang to avenge him becomes a cop mole when she finds out he was merced by a cop and just beats the poo poo out of people

Sorry I only watch historical kdramas where the japanese character looks like tokio kid.

K-wave making Korean pop culture in general really popular overseas (first in other parts of Asia and now just everywhere) combined with streaming (Netflix especially) picking up a bunch of Korean shows for dirt cheap a while back and making them available globally as part of their efforts at global expansion means first a bunch of people getting mildly interested in Korean culture and then those people having limitless access to an enormous amount of Korean culture through services they already subscribe to. I know a group of friends who got really into K-dramas basically just because one of them recommended one to the others, they all watched it on Netflix and loved it, and now they're each on like their 50th K-drama. Parasite was a milestone for critical recognition and Squid Game is another milestone because it's the first big breakthrough for content that Netflix made itself rather than just buying the global rights for something made by a Korean TV channel, but neither one is a big turning point

Netflix also plays a large part. Kdramas became the thing among my cohort back in India with the pandemic with things like CLOY. Its really striking given that Kpop was well known for a while but Kdramas mostly were a niche subculture thing. They still are but that niche has grown considerably larger. This goes without saying that Squid game blows everything out of the water in terms of word of mouth.

our immigration system also tends to handpick people who are wealthy and have an advanced education, so you're effectively pulling in wealthy people who don't want what wealth they've scraped together taxed or their childrens' future impacted by costly social programs.

That and the Indian subcontinent has a cheap supply of labor so getting a maid or something isn't an expensive class signifier like it is in the US. Buying a car is an expensive class signifier. Americans are a prosperous people because both the husband and wife have their own car and the space to park it.

Snyder is the guy who made all those CGI backgrounds and gritty overlays before the technology was ready and it made them all appear off putting.
It's not toxic, but it kinda made me sick.

Eh they were more stylized than anything particularly gritty. Rounder Geiger Krypton for instance.
