Quite literally reaping what we’ve sowed, making mojitos out of the mint in the herb garden.
An episode of Stranger Things has no business being an hour and forty minutes long. Season four would probably be twice as good if the episodes where half as long.
”Your man Jesus seems to me a bit of a son of a bitch when it comes to women,” Roland said.
Okay, the end part of The Ritual of Chud chapter in ”IT” was weird. It’s got to have been weird in the mid eighties as well, right?
I will finish IT within a few hours, and I’m four books deep into The Dark Tower. Where do I go next, The Shining or The Wolves of Calla?
Coronaförnekare på lista – regionrådet: ”Oj” — FaluKuriren
Dalarnas sjukvårdsparti släpper alltså in personer på sin regionslista utan att ens googla personen för att se vad hen står och argumenterar för. Det är så beklämmande slappt.
I just watched the trailer for ”The Matrix Resurrections and there is no way this is not complete schlock but maybe it’s schlock that I’ll enjoy.
I was fully onboard ”The Dark Tower” after ”The Drawing of the Three” and ”The Waste Lands” really kicks things into high gear. I did not see the thing with and about the bear coming.
Were podcasts that are ostensibly about something always this rambling, or has my tolerance gone down?

24 juli, 2021 16:09@MrHenko At @HemisphericViews we work hard to keep things tight at around 45 minutes per episode, and when we go over there’s usually a good reason. Respect the listener’s time!

24 juli, 2021 18:13@MrHenko Not just you. Lazy presenters wasting everyone’s time. It might take you 15 minutes to cut 5 minutes of fluff, but if you’ve got even 100 listeners you just saved the world 500 minutes!

Here I had occasion to consider that if is a weighty thing to speak much in large meetings for business… In three hundred minutes are five hours, and he that improperly detains three hundred people one minute, besides other evils that attend it, does an injury like that of imprisoning one man five hours without cause.” — The Journal of John Woolman, 1758

25 juli, 2021 12:55@pimoore Glad to hear I’m not the only one. Part of the problem is probably that I’m falling out of love with the format of more ”personality driven” podcasts.

25 juli, 2021 12:56@canion That’s a good principle! I haven’t listened to Hemispheric Views (yet?), but I’ll put it on my mental list for when I want to add more podcasts to my queue.

25 juli, 2021 12:57@jeremycherfas That’s a good way to look at it, and Eat This Podcast is a great example of a podcast that gets to the point. ??
