Catking?

I do now.

Is this anythin'?

Only to the intersection of people who are trans and people who are dropout.tv fans. Luckily those two groups have a surprisingly large overlap.

That's an otterly different name!

Because it started off as a crime-a-week police procedural, and by the end, that element of the show was basically the B-plot (if that), thereby fulfilling the criteria of going off the rails and/or losing sight of the original premise?

iZombie

Original premise: Liv is a doctor is accidentally turned into a zombie. She becomes a medical examiner in order to have access to brains. After discovering eating the brains of murder victims gives her flashbacks and moments leading up to the victim's death, she helps a detective to solve crimes by pretending to be psychic. A side effect of the brain eating is that she may temporarily acquire skills or idiosyncrasies of the victim. Meanwhile, Blaine, another zombie, is turning rich people into zombies to extort them in return for brains of people he's killing.

How it went: Pretty much everyone in the main cast is a zombie (or were-zombie), there's an evil corporation, an entire city full of zombies, a good guy private military contractor that turns into a bad guy private military contractor, and etc. that I won't spoil any further. And eating a brain pretty much makes you take on that person's entire personality wholesale.

The thing is, it was great! It ended pretty strong without wearing out its welcome or getting too absurd plot-wise. Meanwhile everyone in the cast is clearly having fun with the over-the-top, flanderised personality mechanics, and it's just fun to watch.

Obviously fake. No mention of trains.

ITT: exactly what the tweet was about. (Edit: It was a tumblr post.)

Y'all just saw "AI" and started frothing at the mouth about LLMs when, in the context of the tweet, it might just as well have referred to path finding AI in a video game.

Reminder: "separating the art from the artist" is an approach to engaging with an artwork, and is a separate question from whether or not you should engage with an artwork when doing so has real life consequences.

Whether or not you should consume HP Lovecraft media despite the fact he was a racist is entirely up to you because he is long dead. He doesn't make any money. He isn't even racist any more. Because he's dead.

When you consider whether or not you consume Harry Potter media, you must consider that JK Rowling will make money and will donate that money to anti-trans groups. If you still go on to buy licensed merch, or pay a streaming service to watch it, you will literally be helping to propogate transphobia. Continue to enjoy anything you currently own if you want. That is where separating the art from the artist comes into it. But if you still actively promote the material online and thereby increase the demand for it; again, transphobia, arguably.

Non-UK people should read up about Laurence Fox if they want a good laugh.

Some career highlights:

• Destroyed his acting career and his marriage by being an upper class right wing shit.
• Destroyed his subsequent gig as a right wing pundit on GB News by being too misogynist on air.
• Called some drag queens paedophiles after they called him racist. He was sued for defamation and he countersued. He lost on both counts.
• Stood for election as an MP and lost his deposit.
• Stood for election as London Mayor and lost his deposit.
• Tried to stand for election as London Mayor a second time and didn't get on the ballot because he didn't fill in the paperwork correctly
• Stood for election to the London Assembly and lost his deposit.

I also think Java is shit, but if you manage to get a NullPointerException while writing a hello world program, maybe anon is just not cut out for computers?
