Star Wars: Andor is the best SW series since The Mandalorian, but it is relentlessly bleak, offering no catharsis.

I understand the motivation for it in the context of its narrative arch, but it's still one pretty damn depressing series.

Watching Columbo S6E1: Fade in to Murder, with William Shatner as the murderer.

He was perfect as Kirk, but in just about everything else he comes across as just William Shatner, like in this Columbo episode. I think I can see Shatner’s ego affecting Peter Falk’s performance too, just a little bit.

It would be interesting to know how things went down behind the scenes, filming this episode.

@DarksideStraxus It was inevitable, alas. The key is how deals with them.

@Coctaanatis Terrific! And a fan of classic WB cartoons as well, I gather?

So am I, eager young space cadet!

Well, this was a simple, but quite delicious elk mince meatloaf with funnel chanterelles, stuffed with feta and sun-dried tomatoes.

Watching "Is That Black Enough for You?!?" on Netflix.

A very interesting documentary examining "the history, craft and legacy of African American cinema" (Wikipedia).

Highly recommended!

@CoSoTips I'm not on Facebook so I wouldn't know, but -- seriously?

Damn, counter.social must be doing something right!

If the default browser experience has too many elements for your needs, go ahead and enable the "Ostrich Mode". It'll remove some of the bonus elements. You can always re-enable them later.

From the CounterSocial User Guide:

"For a minimal desktop layout, visit Edit Profile > Preferences to enable “Ostrich Mode”. This mode will remove the “extras” including the news ticker, CoSoCom emergency radio scanner, and live news station feeds."

@Lironah Wow, I had almost forgotten that we had that back in the day! One of those cool rogue abilities that set the class apart.🙂

(I play an Assassination Rogue, though. 🗡️)

@Deadpool560 The funding indicator may not be accurate. It wasn’t a while back.
