When did this idea come about, that politicians had to be inspiring and likeable and you believed in them - it was television, wasn’t it? Because I’m pretty sure for most of the history of democracy it’s been about trying to pick the smartest and least explicitly malicious out of a group of wealthy and ethically flexible old men.

@Runyan50 @NerdsofaFeather @ergative @bookstodon Poor old Isaac. It’s mean to point out his failings. They probably didn’t have psychology in the 1950s, nor women.

@purplepadma @napalousa I’ve just been looking it up, seems very straightforward. What a lovely project for a summer Sunday.

Dear Australians, please help me settle an argument: who are your famous performing arts Greeks? Actors, directors, comedians, singers?

Thanks for waiting. Your call is a nightmare from which we cannot awaken. Please continue to hold. An advisor will answer your call as soon as hell freezes over. Just so you know, we have a website where 90% of the idiotic questions you people call to ask are already answered. We paid a lot of money to set it up so we could fire as many helpline staff as possible. Thank you for continuing to hold.

Ncuti Gatwa is very engaging and the young woman is okay, but all the puns and the meta televisual stuff feel a bit shoehorned… and I don’t really care about any of it. Delightfully performed villain in the second episode, though.
Still…I dunno.
And the song was unpardonably bad.
Wait and see I guess.
(Wait for the telegraphed twist?)

Yes, I gather I was meant to recognise some people at the end, but I don’t watch much television
