Must be a generational thing, Below Decks leaves me cold.

That would only be true if Kim Kardashian had planned the party 17 years earlier and employed hundreds of people and spent millions of dollars to make that party happen to a specific schedule years in advance of a pandemic they couldn’t possibly have predicted.

Why can’t you people just fucking report? Do we have to know your personal worldview in every story?

This seems like an unnecessarily snotty attitude given the singular failure of governmental organisations to push back the space exploration envelope. I’m no massive fan of billionaires, or even the idea of there being billionaires, but I’m happy they’re spending some of that cash on doing something the species…

Ash isn’t a fearless anything. She spends most of the show cringing, snivelling or begging for her life. No way would she have been tough enough to qualify as a cop/pilot.

So is British English. There’s no such thing as “proper” English. As measured from where? I’m originally from the city of Leeds, which is so close to the city of Bradford that it is effectively contiguous, yet most locals can tell if you’re from Leeds or Bradford.

We’re doomed. The lunatics are running the asylum.
