"Oh yes, Mr. Rich And Desperate-To-Protect-His-Own-Position Bad Man, I have SERIOUS DIRT on you. YES, I'm the only one who knows about it, and NO, no one knows where I am or who I'm meeting with right now. I'm holding the ONLY evidence in my hand -- and the moment I leave this room, your life as you know it will be OVER! Now, what you think about THAT??"
- person about to be murdered at the start of a Columbo episode
#original#Columbo#a lot of the time they're not even trying to do blackmail they're just informing a powerful person that they plan on ruining them#this is why you shouldn't do your Victory lap before you cross the finish line#for context if you haven't seen the show almost every episode of Columbo starts with showing the murder happening#and then 20 to 40 minutes into the episode Columbo shows up to try to solve it#the mystery isn't whodunnit it's how is Columbo going to exploit this rich asshole's every mistake until they get caught#and then you watch as Columbo closes in on them in the most unassuming way so they don't realize he's a threat until it's too late#a lot of episodes are 2 hours long. it's about as slow and gentle as a murder mystery can be.#my friend said it was like if the Great British Bake Off was about solving a murder. he's just such a polite man!#ACAB except Columbo tbh. i headcanon he is a ghost. it helps me pretend it's not copaganda lol.#but also like. him being a ghost makes more sense a lot of the time.

Daydreaming about a War of 1812 prestige drama, and then tormenting myself by imagining that it's just a lazy piece of USAmerican propaganda riddled with inaccuracies.
#it gets the 'turn' treatment and john graves simcoe somehow returns as a villain#i mean if you can make him a villain he can also not die in 1806... equally fictional!#half of one season is just the battle of new orleans#there's nothing about us slavery and they make several british characters extra racist to make the americans look better#indigenous characters are friends with the us protagonist characters and dispense magical native american advice#lundy's lane is somehow an american victory.... arrrgh i will stop now#shaun talks

Thank you Bridon Ep 4 for answering a question I had just thought of at the start of the episode
If CXS dives into the body of an English speaker, would he be able to speak/understand English himself?
#ep 4 seems to suggest No#but ep 5 preview may imply the opposite if he’s going to be doing another dive#maybe there’s an adjustment period?#ep 4’s dive wasn’t exactly done in a proper state of mind#link click#bridon spoilers#yingdu spoilers#link click spoilers#anyway I just want to know xD#the show only seems to use English when we need to either know we’re in Bridon#or when ShiGuang are present and speaking mandarin#so scenes like Vein & Xia Fei’s reunion and Liu Xiao’s Russian roulette in Ep 2#were likely in English in-universe#but mandarin could be used since everyone could understand each other anyway#(so kudos to that random British bookseller who apparently speaks mandarin haha)#(actually wait was xia fei cheering in English or mandarin when the soccer team won?)#(or was it obvious he was cheering the wrong teams victory either way xD)

Labour Party Triumphs 2024 General Election
The United Kingdom has witnessed a seismic shift in its political landscape as the Labour Party achieved a landslide victory in the 2024 general election. With an impressive 412 seats, Labour has secured a majority of 174, marking a significant transformation in British politics.
A Devastating Blow for the Conservatives
The results are nothing short of catastrophic for the Conservative Party, which has seen its worst performance in terms of seats in history. Reduced to just 121 seats, this dramatic fall from grace highlights a significant disconnect between the party and the electorate. The decline is stark when compared to their 2019 landslide victory under Boris Johnson. Many argue that under the leadership of Rishi Sunak, the party has lost its Conservative identity and, consequently, its voter base.
The Liberal Democrats' Resurgence
The Liberal Democrats have emerged as significant players, capturing 72 seats—their highest tally since 1923. This resurgence indicates a growing appetite among voters for a centrist alternative, possibly reflecting disenchantment with both Labour and Conservative policies.
Other Parties and Their Gains
SNP: Holding steady with nine seats, the Scottish National Party continues to be a force in Scotland.
Reform UK: As a supporter of Reform UK, I'm pleased to see them securing five seats. This marks a breakthrough and suggests potential for future growth.
Plaid Cymru and the Green Party: Both parties have made modest gains, with four seats each, indicating a continued presence in the political arena.
Reflecting on the Conservative Collapse
As someone who voted for Reform UK, it's frustrating to see the Conservatives squandering their opportunity. Under Rishi Sunak, the party seemed to drift away from traditional conservative values. Instead of capitalising on the momentum built in 2019, there was a sense of complacency and lack of clear direction. It's almost as if they were resigned to losing, a sentiment shared by many former Conservative voters.
The Road Ahead for Labour
With Sir Keir Starmer at the helm, Labour now faces the daunting task of governing with such a commanding majority. While many of their supporters celebrate, the true test lies ahead. Can Labour deliver on their promises and address the myriad challenges facing the UK? Only time will tell.
Reform UK's Promising Future
In my honest opinion, the results for Reform UK are just the beginning. With a foothold in Parliament, they have the potential to grow significantly over the next few years. I predict that within 12 months, Labour's honeymoon period will end, and the realities of governance will set in. Disillusionment is likely, and when it happens, Reform UK will be poised to capitalise on the shift.
A Time of Change
The 2024 general election has undeniably set the stage for a period of significant change in the UK. The political landscape has been reshaped, and the next few years will be crucial in determining the country's direction. Whether Labour can maintain their support, or if other parties, including Reform UK, rise to the occasion, remains to be seen. One thing is certain: change is coming. Mark my words!

I will take every opportunity to put down europeans in the way they did/do to every other culture in the world but I love reading abt what medieval europeans did like progress etc wise it's crazy
#reading medieval horizons by ian mortimer rn its not my fave but pretty good semi in depth on a billion different aspects#im disagreeing w some of his more analysis stuff but hes the one w the phd 🙄#also he keeps using miles for everything despite being a british writer. another american cultural victory#(ignore that the metric system was not in use during medieval and it makes no sense to convert back and forth. still a victory)
