I probably made a huge faux pas in the world of alcohol since I just made an Old Fashioned from a twelve year old scotch single malt but it was goooood! :)

Merry Christmas!
Time for Star Wars! I’m super excited!!! And so far completely spoiler free, except for the title.
Tonight I’m packing for a conference about the music business and I’ll be in Stockholm for two days. That means I’ll have my first night away from Ebbe tomorrow. That will feel strange.
Started watching Better Things yesterday. Seems like a fun show. It’s always great to have one of those ”half hour” shows to watch with Linn, in addition to any other longer show we might be watching or that I might be watching by myself.
I enjoy the second season of Stranger Things a whole lot less than the first one. Not sure if it is because it actually is a worse season, or because my standards tv shows have been raised by West World and Twin Peaks this year, or because it was a novelty that just worked once.
@MrHenko I am finding the same, the episode away in the city was particularly poor.
@johnjohnston I haven’t gotten to that episode yet. Finished #5 (Dig Dug) two days ago.
So what do you think, is it actually worse than season one or was it just a novelty that only worked once?
@MrHenko A bit of both, I though ep 6 showed some improvement a least from the excitement pov, but 7 was disappointing: plot a bit silly & characters uninteresting. The children are older & perhaps this makes you expect better acting. I am still going to finish it next weekend.
@johnjohnston I’m looking forward to ep 6 in that case.
The acting of the kids don’t bother me but they don’t impress me like they did in the first season either. Especially Eleven was really good the first season.
I’ll keep watching it as well. I’ve been looking forward to season two for too long to abandon it now. :)
@MrHenko I think Eleven has more to do this season which shows the acting up a bit.
@johnjohnston This showing the acting up mean a good thing or a bad thing? (Sorry, haven’t heard that phrase before.)
@MrHenko sorry, I meant that the new season is asking a lot more from the actor playing Eleven. She has to do a bit more than in season one. In season 1 her look did a lot.
@johnjohnston No need to apologize. And you are probably right regarding Eleven. Haven’t seen anymore episodes yet but I might get around to it tonight.

I agree that the main thing that Twitter and Facebook are good for are marketing, but I disagree that my example is an example of marketing.
Sending out a tweet when a podcast starts live streaming or when a new episode is posted makes sense. It helps a lot of people noticing. But telling the listeners of the show that the best way to contact the hosts is via Twitter seems less true. e-mail, a Slack channel or subreddit would work just as well.
I think that especially if a more or less recurring segment on a show is complaining about how twitter is a toxic hell stew that more or less enabled Donald Trump, a person that the hosts paints out to be more or less Lucifer himself, to get elected as POTUS then the hosts really, really should reconsider whether they want to funnel more communication through twitter and thereby helping the service continue on.
@MrHenko And also, if somebody routinely complain about the toxicity of twitter then maybe that somebody should avoid using it even if using it would be a benefit to that person.
I did it!
