...contemporary colonial projects tend toward the “operational enclosure,” which describes a digitally-mediated social hierarchy in which the movement and behaviour of certain racialized populations are made automatically detectable and thus controllable, while privileged settler populations are permitted to move around in a relatively frictionless way. [...] this form of enclosure is being adapted by government agencies and corporations across the Global South to slot marginalized populations into the operative logics of actionable intelligence. For privileged settlers, a seamless digitally integrated society brings them pride in the advancement of their country’s capabilities along with consumer convenience. For Muslims, on the other hand, the operational enclosure provokes intense fear."

"...advanced dataveillance technology is key in producing an efficient settler colonial state that can classify and segment its inhabitants. Two interrelated phenomena are at play here, one regarding the technology itself and the other about how it molds social reality. First, the technology is a black box—security workers do not really understand how it works beyond the reductive readouts they see on their screen: 99.11 percent match. Orange tag. Potentially “untrustworthy.” Second, in practice these simplistic characterizations and predictions come to be seen as truth. The technology is viewed as an unquestioned authoritative good, since it is perceived as scientific and state-of-the-art intelligence. The predictions made become legally enforced truths. Together, these two elements, the digital black box and the legal and social discourse of technological intelligence, are producing one of the first mass experiments in the colonial operational enclosure.

A more nuanced view of contemporary colonialisms attempts to show how these different forms of imperialism are entangled with each other and how they need to be opposed simultaneously.

Susato and Iris drive me so insane. Susato, the classy, ideal japanese young lady, who spent her whole life studying to leave and see england, who gets english magazines shipped internationally to her home and loves them so much she tries to learn to play the violin (or at least, the closest she can get to it) Susato, who learns to be an investigative assistant. Susato, the sakura blossom, the traditionalist, who prefers her tea with milk and sugar and spars with a boxer and is a natural when learning from a british pickpocket, and looks up to Sholmes. Susato, who takes to London with wide eyed enthusiasm and proficiency.

Iris, the doctor, who styles herself in the image of her absent father; a medic, a writer, a supporter. Iris, who teaches herself japanese morse code and names her cat after influential japanese literature, who discovers her joy of matcha and studies forensic science. Iris, who takes an immediate shine to Ryunosuke and Natsume, Iris who is named after Ayame. Iris, the royal flower of europe, the inventor and future seeker, who tries with all her might to be like that father she reads about. The way they both long for the life the other one has. The way they both strive to live up to each others fathers, they joy they take in sharing their cultures, the declaration of family, not through their shared fathers, but to each other.

Sisters of all time.

David McCallum Vs. David Selby

Propaganda

David McCallum - (The Man From U.N.C.L.E, Colditz, The Outer Limits) - He became one of the hottest leading men of 1960s tv with The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and McCallum received more fan mail than any other actor in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's history, including such popular MGM movie stars as Clark Gable and Elvis Presley. He turned his Russian character from side-kick to co-star in one season during the height of the cold war. Artists wrote hit camp songs about his character like "Love Ya, Illya"

David Selby - (Dark Shadows, Falcon Crest) - VERY handsome. 16 magazine had articles about him for a reason. Does such a good job as Quentin, every moment he's onscreen is a delight. He's funny, he's evil, he's Going Thru It, he's being stupid, WHATEVER it is he's great at it. So tall in the 1960s you can clearly see him having to duck through some doorways onscreen, and still pretty darn tall as an old man. (I actually just met him recently and got his autograph, he was very nice!) If tumblr was around in the 1960s he would have been prime tumblr sexyman material.

Additional propaganda below the cut

David McCallum:

Everyone knows him as Ducky from NCIS or Ashley Pitt from The Great Escape, but David McCallum was also the original Man From UNCLE, for which role he recieved record setting amounts of fan mail. Was considered to play the Doctor. Charles Bronson stole his first wife, but his second marriage lasted over 55 years, until his death, so who's the winner here.

He became an expert on forensics during his time with JAG/NCIS and attended multiple medical examiner conventions for research.

A classically trained musician, he created several instrumental albums in the 60's his biggest hit is a cover of The Edge which has appeared in movies and video games and sampled by rap artists.

David Selby:

Dark Shadows was a daily soap opera in the 60's and that means that unless an actor swore or something truly heinous happened all mistakes are just there for our viewing pleasure.

Here have this video of his character and another dude right after trying to summon the devil

I love David Selby and I love David Selby as Quentin Collins (all of them). He plays the tragic, disaster, self-absorbed "hero" so well and is one of the original wet cat men of TV.

Write what you know

When the college I was attending for journalism refused to give me life credit for 10-years-worth of clippings in my portfolio from actually working as a journalist at newspapers, magazines, and also as a foreign correspondent for Reuters Wire Services, I was pissed. I mean Hulk Big Mad.

I walked straight from the chair's office to admissions. I switched my major to Criminal Justice and crafted my own minor in pathophysiology and psychology because forensics wasn't a thing yet. I'd always dreamed of serving in the FBI...or writing about it. I couldn't pass the FBI PT--like how my Navy career ended by failing PT three times. I did finish an internship as a death investigator for a Coroner's Office in Illinois (the most interesting job I've ever done).

Since I write crime fiction suspense thrillers it ended well. I write heavily forensic and medical prose. My published novel, OVER THE RIVER, THROUGH THE WOODS, deals with an incurable brain disease and the repercussions on the married couple going through it. THE OUDERKIRK HOUSE is about both a 3-decade-long search for a child serial killer and a multiple murder cold case from 1968. The manuscript relies heavily on forensics, ballistics, and the whole spectrum of evidence.

If you feel ill-equipped, READ. Lots. As Stephen King is fond of saying, you'll never be a writer if you aren't a reader.

Research is my favorite part of my writing. The more I research, the deeper and more meaningful my characters and scenes.

Obscure Media: Encore VFX Article

Brought to us courtesy of @widowswinter, who's been working hard to dredge up these gems from the past.

We've all seen this cover by now, but in case you didn't know, Encore was an Australian film trade magazine. It switched to an online format and then seems to have ceased publication around 2013. Some of their articles can be found at https://mumbrella.com.au/, but none going back to 2006. Widowswinter accessed this article via the National Library of Australia, which houses physical copies of the magazine and will make copies/scans of some of their collection.

Full Article and a plain text version below the break:

ENCORE I 22 I V24 ISSUE 2, FEBRUARY, 2006

Digital effects were integral to writer/director Gregory Read's Like Minds, the UK/Australian psychological thriller starring Toni Collette, Richard Roxburgh, Eddie Redmayne and Tom Sturridge.  

With production split evenly between Australia and England, where the story is set, the dual role of the DFX was to heighten the in camera drama, and to solve problems created by on-set limitations and impracticalities. This was especially true for the film's opening train sequence during which schoolboys hang outside the door of a train travelling at 80 km/h, playing 'chicken' with the rapidly advancing stanchions (posts that support the overhead electric wires).

"Even if we could shoot the whole scene on a live train travelling at speed, getting the angles in and out of the train with the presence of real stanchions isn't realistic, not to mention the danger of attempting such a live sequence," said Read, who consulted with DOP Nigel Bluck and VFX supervisor Dave Morley, of Sydney-based VFX house Fuel International, to determine the best way to shoot this scene. "The upshot was to have two shoots; the first being the boys on a live train minus stanchions, travelling at its top speed of 20km/h. We used a wind cannon and lighting rig to emulate speed. The boys were cabled into the train, which gave them the opportunity to hang out, feel the 'rush' and give me the performance I wanted . The rest of the scene was shot in a shed with two very big guys rocking the train."

Like Minds features Collette in the role of a forensic psychologist appointed by police to determine whether there's enough evidence to lay murder charges against 17-year old Alex (Redmayne), accused in the shotgun death of his schoolmate Nigel (Sturridge).

The train scenes were initially earmarked to be shot in Adelaide but the unavailability of a suitable 1970s-style electric train meant the production shifted to a train museum located in Cessnock, NSW. Fresh stumbling blocks at the new location included a train carriage without a front engine and the absence of on location electricity; factors which necessitated the deployment of a bright yellow ex-BHP locomotive to propel the 'electric' carriage backwards and forwards at a maximum travelling speed of just 20km/h.

Fuel's task included the creation of the CG stanchions, which Read wanted to "crash into frame very close to the carriage then vanish into shadow".

"The shot required the stanchion to race towards the boys, barely missing one of them. However, when the stanchion was put in it just didn't look right so David [Morley] gradually scaled up the stanchion to 300 percent as it raced towards us so that it worked, visually and dynamically. As an added effect, when this stanchion slams past it actually hits the camera on which David introduced shudder."

Morley's team rigged up a series of par cans (stage lights) attached to a programmable lighting desk that enabled them to set the speed of lights turning on and off in series to simulate the feel of the stanchions travelling past the carriage at the desired speed of 80 km/h.

"Each of the CG stanchions has its own light pointing down towards the train and we used the par cans to give us the motion of the light travelling past," Morley said. "We built CG stanchions to match the style of what they have over in England, and from reference gathered off the web and footage Greg shot in England, then tracked them in and composited them all together."

When working on shots looking down the length of the train, the ground plane was sped up 400 percent. This was done to disguise the fact that the train was actually only travelling at 20 km/h.

"That would get put back in and then we'd have the CG stanchions over the top of that," said Morley. 'There was normally only one extra carriage behind the one that we were working on, so we ended up having to extend extra carriages as well. Because we only had one train rigged with the lights we ended up shifting the camera up one carriage length then duplicating this carriage for the two missing carriages."

The variance in visible rainfall during the Cessnock shoot presented another problem to be solved.  

"We'd set up to get the master shot, which was a very large crane shot moving down onto the railway tracks from about 30 feet up," Read explained. "In this environment we had two large rain towers with rotating heads which produced heavy rainfall, however when we swung  around to shoot reverse shots there was very little backlight and the rainfall was barely visible. We knew we didn't have time to move lights - let alone the travelling train in the background where the lights would need to stand. It was a matter of placing CG rain into the background of those shots so they matched the master."

Like Minds is set in the middle of the English winter. Obviously, Cessnock's 45-degree temperatures created obstacles. Among the challenges were short night shoot hours, actors having to wear heavy fur-lined clothing and the need to frame out all 'summer' foliage - especially gum trees.

In addition, while the English shoot took place in wintertime, Read was keen to include a shot of the school location in summertime. Fuel was called upon to make shots filmed in winter appear as though it was summer. This was done with sky replacements, adding leaves to trees and replacing snow with grass. Among these was an interior shot of the exterior through a window.

Fuel worked on 89 shots in total including the opening title sequence, which sees a camera move along a darkened surface before rising to show raindrops falling on this surface, which is revealed to be a train track.

"Suddenly a train rushes over the track and we cut out to a wide shot and there's the boy hanging out of the train," said Read. "I thought we could use a motion control rig and then put in the CG later but then practicality and cost came into it and I faced with the reality that this shot was too much of an indulgence; we didn't have the budget and so I turned to David and said 'Help! This is the shot I want to do'.

Armed with Read's storyboards and a second unit, Morley directed the title sequence himself, opting to use a live train to give it authenticity.

"We had to carefully choreograph the timing of both the camera tracking back and the train barrelling down the track straight for us with quite a few dry runs separately with both train and crew until we were confident we had the positions the camera needed to be in relation to the train," explained Morley.  "We still had several safety people standing by to quickly rip crew out of the way of the impending train if they had not reached the agreed ‘point of no return'  position. In the end we got exactly what we wanted."

Once the shot had been captured, Fuel scanned the image at 4K, smoothed the camera move and retimed the sequence. In addition to the titles CG sparks were added to the undercarriage as the train passed by.

okay but what would gale’s role play in the lucky charms au . 👁️ would he be bucky’s roommate or

Ooohhhh hmmmm nooooo I think Bucky likes living in his little palace alone and having Curtie over whenever he wants.. BUT… Gale is hmm.. maybe a forensic psychologist. He’s working with Bucky on a specific case??? Maybe besties too?? I could see Gale being a therapist. He’s soft and understanding. He likes to listen. And watch.

Try as I might to have some self control and STOP MYSELF from writing or like maybe edit shit down but I simply can’t shut the fuck up. Have this literal entire chapter of SOMETHING???

If yall don’t like this shit don’t freakin READ IT: exhibitionism, kinda threesome, buttplugs, slutty Curt

“You know, you shouldn’t even be in here for all this, Angel.” Bucky eyed Curtis who was sitting in a leather chair beside the fireplace, legs everywhere as he flipped through pages of a coffee table magazine, a LIFE on World War II. “I’m sure we’re breaching some sort of client confidentiality clause.”

“Hey, maybe he’ll learn somethin’.” Gale shrugged, sat at Bucky’s desk where they went over case files together. “What are you goin’ to school for, Curt?”

“Aerospace engineering.”

“Oh..”

Curt popped his head up over the back of the chair, Bucky’s blue beanie pulled over his wild hair he had no plans on taming that day. “Won’t even know I’m here.” He sunk back into his spot, legs pulling him into a curve with his magazines laid over his thighs, most of them on wars past.

As he lounged, It was hard not to listen. Whatever case the two had been working on together seemed rather brutal, and Curt sat there soaking up all the details he could to piece together what exactly had happened.

Bucky didn’t like talking about work with Curt, for their time together was sacred to him and if they began tainting it with talks of legal matters like if his client would be sentenced to life in prison or not, then his entire life would he engulfed by it.

Curt was his one and only escape.

“Hey..” He peeked over the chair again, only his eyes and the beanie visible. “Sorry fellas, but — ain’t they checked the cameras by Neon?”

“What’s Neon?”

“The arcade.” Curt seemed baffled. Though, the more he thought about it, the more he recognized a lawyer and a criminal therapist may not know the ins and outs of every arcade in the city. “It’s right next to the Buzz.”

“We’re not detectives, Curt.” Gale shrugged a shoulder, though he’d brought up a decent point. “How do you know they have cameras? Seems nothing else on the street does.”

Curt hid himself behind the chair again, his lips tugged into a smirk as he shrugged his shoulders.

He’d been into more petty crimes as a college freshman. He was more broke then than he was now and he had to get it out of his system somewhere — the arcade, unfortunately, was one of his usual victims.

“Worth a shot.” Bucky grabbed his phone to send out a few texts, not noticing the way Gale had been eyeing Curt, soaking up every detail of him that he could possibly see, although he’d been practically engulfed in fabric — a big sweater that swallowed him, jeans, Bucky’s beanie.

Curt was a cutie, and Gale had become accustomed to his and Bucky’s dynamic over time, though at first he’d always wondered why Bucky didn’t settle for someone out of college, perhaps in his field.

Someone who’d understand him.

Yet, it was clear almost right away nobody understood Bucky more than Curtis did.

Gale almost envied that.

“You might wanna switch majors, Curtie.” Bucky stood and leaned over the chair, hovering upside down over Curt who beamed up at him, their lips eventually locked in what eventually began to look like an intense make out session to Gale, which he had used as an excuse to scuttle away.

“Gotta split.” He blurted, and disappeared to hide his blush in his car where he sat for awhile just to catch his breath.

Things went on that way for some time — Bucky and Curt growing increasingly comfortable around Gale who never made them feel like they had to hide any parts of their relationship, but this was of course due to his own curiosities.

Gale had never kissed a man. Never thought about it, really, until he met Bucky’s sometimes-slutty College Kid boyfriend Curtis who liked to run around in his underwear in the mornings and lounge shirtless in Bucky’s study during afternoons, hitting his dab pen by the window bench and reading while he and Bucky worked together on their case studies.

As one would have it, Gale had found himself growing increasingly distracted as months passed by — and Bucky had begun to notice.

“Take a picture.” Bucky murmured, lifting his nose from the stack of court room transcripts in front of him to eye Gale who’d might as well be drooling, his gaze chained to Curt who twirled the hair at the nape of his neck with his fingers as he read the Fundamentals of Aerodynamics, a lollipop shoved in his cheek.

It seemed too perfect.

Almost cinematic.

His brain had already seared the image into his memory — no picture needed. “I’m sorry.” Gale murmured, having no real excuse for himself. “Daydreaming.”

“About?”

Gale looked down, blinking a few times to ground himself in the current reality that crashed upon him, which was explaining his fascination with his best friend and case partners boyfriend. “S’— Uh- I -“

“He distracting you?”

Silence, except the far off rustle of a page flipping in the distance.

“No - no - it’s - no-“

“S’okay, Gale.” Bucky’s voice was a low whisper, his back hunched over the desk to inch closer. “What’s the first thing you look at? When you look at him.”

Both of them were watching Curtis then, drawn in again by his presence. He was hardly doing anything special — in fact, he was reading what anyone else would consider to be one of the most boring books on planet earth, but he made it look so good. So intriguing.

Before Gale could stop himself, he blurted a quiet “His mouth.”

“Ooh,” Bucky tsked as he nodded his head, “Nice little mouth, huh? I think it’s his hands for me.” His voice got even quieter, deeper. “He uses both of ‘em, if you were wondering.”

Gale had gone to stand but Bucky slapped his hand against his wrist, pulling him back down to his seat. “Why do you always run off?” He took note of Gale’s reddened complexion and the sheen of sweat glazing his cheekbones. “Sit.”

He plopped back down in his chair.

“It’s — it’s not right, Bucky.”

“What’s not right?”

“He’s your boy. It’s not — I shouldn’t be looking at him like that.”

Bucky was using his Attorney at Law hypnosis on Gale, and it was working. “What way do you look at him?”

“Like I’d eat him.”

“And would you?”

Gale swallowed the lump in his throat, watching Curt pull the baby blue lollipop from his lips and flip another page, his body contorted in a way that’d pinch Gales back if he tried it, but Curt was like a cat in that way. Always finding the strangest positions to lounge. “I’d lick the plate.”

More silence, but Bucky had toed Gale’s ankle beneath the table as they bounced heat off of one another.

“He’d let you, you know.”

Bucky was never good about sharing, but something about Gale had tweaked the same nerve that Curt had the first time he met him.

“Wait. Have — have you talked about it?”

“Oh, plenty.” Bucky rolled his eyes, as if the question was silly, though he’d already forgotten who was the first to bring it up. They’d both agreed that there was something special about Gale — something neither of them could quite put their finger on. “He’s fond of you.”

Gale sounded far away, “Fond..” he breathed, hardly able to slow his thoughts long enough to realize what had just happened in the span of only two minutes.

Admittedly, it’d felt nice to get it off his chest. He didn’t have to hide his stares anymore, or act as though watching the two of them make out wasn’t one of the hottest things he’d ever seen in his fucking life.

What he hadn’t anticipated was for Bucky to call Curt over who whined at the interruption, folding a corner of his book to mark it before he walked the floor, standing beside Bucky with a tilted head. “What?” He mumbled, his brow furrowed like he’d been woken up from a nap.

“Don’t be a brat.” Bucky pulled Curt into his lap ass first, back pressed to warm chest. Curt was facing Gale then, his legs hooked around Bucky’s thighs that pried themselves apart which had in turn caused Curt’s legs to spread and his cheeks burn red hot almost instantly. “He said he’d lick the plate.” Bucky whispered into his ear, nipping at his lobe. “What do you think?”

Curt grinned like a devil, settling into Bucky’s lap, allowing himself to melt there. Blue on blue, Curt on Gale. They stared at one another but Gale had glanced away here and there as to not burn holes into Curt’s skin. “Lick the plate, uh?” He barked and Gale found himself flinching at his own words coming from someone else’s lips. “I’d like to see ‘em try.”

Bucky glanced to Curt, made sure this was truly okay, and once he’d been fully convinced, he undressed Curtis like a doll, displaying him again in the same position with his back against Bucky’s chest, his legs spread over his boyfriends thighs, shown off to Gale whose body had turned into a furnace.

“You don’t get to touch yet.” Bucky’s said to Gale once his fist began working itself over Curt’s cock that looked just the way he had always fantasized it would, perfectly pale pink, wet, stood all proud of itself against the peach fuzzy hair below his navel.

“S’fine.” Gale stuttered. He’d been more than happy to watch.

“You like watchin’ me, Galey.” Curt moaned around the stick of his lollipop, leaning his head against Bucky’s chest, his sights still trained on Gale who couldn’t believe his fucking eyes. “Gotta admit, I love givin’ you somethin’ to look at.”

Of course he’d noticed.

Of course he’d played into it.

Of course.

If he was eating a snack, he’d lick his fingers one by one when he was finished. If he was smoking, he’d do it in the sluttiest way he could and if he was reading, which was Gale’s favorite, he’d usually do it with a lollipop in his mouth.

Curt might make himself seem simple, ditzy, but the truth of the matter was that he was going to school to be a fucking aerospace engineer — and was on the fast track to graduating early.

He knew what was up.

“How’s he look?” Bucky looked over Curt’s shoulder to watch his own hand, and then over at Gale. “Must be better up close, hm?”

Gale nodded slowly, forgetting how to breathe.

He noticed the plug, the one shaped like a heart, right between Curt’s cheeks that were spread from Bucky’s knees prying his thighs apart, and felt his own heart stop. “What is that?” He whispered, his brows furrowed.

Gale had much to learn.

“S’a plug.” Bucky had finally worn Curt down but after the first time using it, he never had to ask again. “Been wearing it often, haven’t you, baby?”

Curt nodded his head eagerly, his jaw slack as his hips rocked upward into Bucky’s fist, arms reaching upward to rake his fingers into damp curls. “Y’know how many times I’ve played with myself in front of you, Gale?” Curt whimpered, his demeanor shattered momentarily by a moan but he continued to show himself off like he was for sale. “And you had no idea?”

“I — “ Gale bit his lip, “Really wish someone had said something earlier. Jesus fucking Christ.” He watched Curt adjust his grip, ass on Bucky’s knee instead to rut against the plug. “I’m - I - this is fucking insane.”

Everything seemed to happen in slow motion and yet, way too fast.

The excitement of being watched had sent Curt into making a mess of himself and Bucky’s trousers, though Gale had felt a sense of relief because of it.

Had he been made to sit and watch any more, he would have died.

(I’m forcing myself to stop here.)

there's a french made for tv film that has haunted me for the past 15 years. it was the first on the public channel France3 to have men kissing (and more) on prime time. it was a few years after brokeback mountain and the way they talked about the film then was like. it's the french bbm (it's not). it haunts me because the film is intense, the music draws you in and never lets you go. the actors are really good (apart maybe from that one rolling in the grass kissing scene). it's about a cop who lost his parents young tragically, who got taken in by the forensic pathologist, who became like a mother to him. and to stay close to her, he became a cop. he was born into violence and remained in such a violent environment throughout his life, denying himself anything that did not fit a traditional life. he had so much violence, for everyone, including himself. until the day his second mother, with whom he works, has an accident and instead of her, a gorgeous doctor waltz into his life, while he's investigating a gruesome homophobic murder. it wasn't until the year of lord 2023 when i uploaded the film to youtube that someone commented on it and helped me understand the insane ending (reference to a japanese concept in art)(why did a made for tv film make such a reference? who knows). and now. through this video on youtube, someone has made an edit of them. and it has garnered 75k views in 10 days. and this

is the most recent comment

and this is insane that a french made for tv movie that was never meant to be seen other than then, in 2007 when it aired for the first (and i believe only time). there are like two blog posts from 2007 when it first aired and a couple of tv magazines who wrote reviews. so this is insane. that a 2007 made for tv french film exists still and is accessible enough to be called "old men yaoi".

the title is autopsy and you can find it in full on youtube or as a 29min edit.

I feel like I should let people make "appointments" of some kind with me just so they can sit on my couch and thumb through my fine magazine selection. I first learned about forensic entomology from a magazine in a dentist office and I just wanna pay that foreward!

[alicepao13]

It's been 84 years but anyway. S06E12. I liked it and I also thought it was good. Gets bonus points because it will certainly upset folks over at UPtv. And let’s not forget the one flashback scene with younger Sarah and Joe (although while I add points for that one, I immediately have to remove them again because they make the timeline so much harder. Let's just assume for the sake of everyone that Charlie and Rex were also on Major Crimes but had been busy with like, a double homicide).

Oh my god, can that detective be more instantly unlikeable? What do you mean, stating the obvious? Her job is literally to state facts!

Then I had to decide, was he just a condescending prick, was he a sexist prick or a racist prick?

Obviously I wasn’t rooting for a quick resolution on the hostage situation but the promo had made it clear that there would be one so I wasn’t holding my breath.

“I heard you on the podcast”. Once again, we’re famous, people. I can’t imagine that this will hinder any undercover ops.

Rex was making all his empathetic doggo noises again. He has already exonerated Gabriel.

“I don’t think he would have hurt me”. Yeah, Sarah, but maybe cops would have killed him regardless if it came to that. As much as I like Sarah’s empathy, Gabriel’s intention in that moment didn’t matter. And when Charlie says, “I didn’t know that”, that’s what he meant. He would have certainly shot Gabriel for putting a knife to Sarah’s throat. You know, if he was allowed to kill anyone in that show. I’m still waiting for the moment that he will be forced to kill an actual bad guy lol

Oh, hey, it’s a scene at home. Hi, home. Missed you.

I saw a comment about how Sarah needs to learn how to hold a wine glass properly. I’m like… would a forensics expert really need to know that? Really? This is shit you usually learn if you have to attend too many formal events. I personally found out only because it was an odd thing I’d noticed on Castle. And does Sarah really need to uphold such etiquette rules when she’s at home with Charlie? I’m always the one pointing that shit out, by the way. But mostly in the right situation. Someone from an upper class family would probably know that. Anyone else, not so much. So, it would make sense if no one from the Hudson and Rex characters knew that.

“He’s never been my favorite detective to work with”. Oh, who’s your favorite detective? Does his name start with Charlie and end with Hudson?

I think that as Sarah started working more with Charlie and Rex and they started getting in all those ridiculously dangerous situations, that probably also made her more self-assured. What better way to believe in yourself and not care about ruffling some feathers than managing to get out of multiple potentially lethal situations?

“You do know that dogs can see color, right?” Charlie Hudson is never beating the himbo allegations. Dogs can see colors in their own way. Putting in front of him differently colored cups, he obviously won’t see them as the vibrant colors that they have (these must be cups that Sarah bought, by the way), but dogs see them in their own way, mostly in shades of blue, yellow, brown and grey apparently (researched).

That asshole detective definitely mentioned Charlie and Sarah dating to throw Charlie off.

“Charlie, Porter is not going to like you for this”. Why would we care what another detective thinks? Also, we’re the A-Team! We don’t care what anyone thinks.

Whoa there, did you lose a button, Charlie? Or several? XD

Seriously, it’s unethical to treat your significant other’s tooth as a dentist? This sounds wild to me. It’s not open heart surgery. And what good is having a doctor to the family if you can't use them?

How much powder does it take to dust a magazine? That’s A LOT.

“I heard the dog found the murder weapon”. Come on, say that in front of Rex.

“It’s about professional respect and I thought I had yours” “Nothing’s changed on that front”. lol Joe.

Honduras is actually in Central America. Who wrote that script? If you want to slam a racist, make sure you actually know where the country is located. It couldn’t be more in the middle of Central America. And it’s annoying that this went through quite a few people and no one caught the mistake.

This is an incredible display of unprofessionalism from the immigrations lady. I mean, mentioning that she had tickets for a show so the SJPD should rush the case? I understand it was done for comedic purposes but wow.

The resolution of the case and the motive behind the murder were wild. And yet, while it was clearly the mother’s fault, I couldn’t help but think that the dead woman was incredibly nosy. Obviously the punishment for that shouldn’t be death, but still. She was up in everyone’s business.

“What’s the golden boy told you this time?” You’re jealous as fuck, dude. On top of being incompetent.

They didn’t tell us why Porter was transferred out of Major Crimes, right?

Hopefully Gabriel will sue the police.

I have noticed overly good critics about this episode and while as I said I liked it… I’m not of that crowd. What I mean is that I firmly believe that we’ve been consistently getting good episodes lately, and this was also good, in tone with the others. It was also a bottle episode, there was literally one outside location they went to. It was a pleasant surprise that they had a trans actor play a trans character because I’ve seen trans characters being portrayed too often by cis actors, and to have this show get it right… let’s just say that there’s no excuse for American shows after that. Hudson and Rex must have 1/10 of the budget and 1/100 of the actor pool of a regular American crime show.

Promo: I’m curious to see how the next episode will work. Especially since the promo barely gave away anything important. Also, did they go to another city to pretend that they were in Toronto? Because I think I remember that they'd film in another city. If so, that’s hilarious as Toronto has been masqueraded as various US cities. Karma :P

"if you don't stop coming in here to bother me, my knife will meet your face" taerae scoffs as he points the scalpel towards the figure who waltzes into his office, his voice full of contempt. yn lets out a gasp, stepping back a little bit.

"calm down mr. kim, if you do so you'll have to think about your murder case in the future, gunwook will be sad" yn shrugs, a vicious smile tugging at his lips.

taerae huffs, rolling his eyes as he gently places the scalpel down onto the examining table. he clicks his tongue and turns to yn, who smiles even larger at him.

"what do you need then, detective? hurry up i don't have that much time for you" taerae's voice calms down, but the clear annoyance is still there. yn sighs and shakes his head, used to this behavior.

"just the usual, i need the autopsy report for the case jeonghyeon's holding" he begins. "also, mind coming with me to mr. uehara's office?" he inquires, and taerae's eyebrows knit together.

taerae stares at the taller, contemplating.

was officer seok matthew not in today? that's quite unusual, he thinks.

"where's your partner?" he asks, pulling off his gloves and disposing of them. he again narrows his eyes at yn's smile. "ah, matthew? he's with keita, you know, he needs assistance after the whole incident".

taerae huffs, crossing his arms. "not you and that bibliography or, magazine, or whatever? your so full of yourself" yn laughs, a faux grimace coming to his face.

"your one mean person mr. kim, you know how hard jihoo worked for that piece to sell, it tells the amazing stories of me as a detective! even gunwook loves it, you can ask mr. chen too" yn beamed, his smile teasing, ticking off any of the remaining patience taerae had left.

"acting as if you didn't almost get jihoo arrested for a crime he didn't commit" taerae mutters meanly under his breath, snapping his head to the other direction.

yn grimaces, a real one this time.

"that was my job! i just sought out the truth".

taerae snickers, turning his head towards yn. "not during the trials you didn't, that was all chen and lee".

"but if it wasn't for me, no evidence would've been presented! i still did play a big role!" yn huffs in ignorance, taerae simply looks him up and down.

"you know what? here's the autopsy report you've been asking for, be off now" taerae places the autopsy report on the desk, turning away from yn and hoping he'll leave, even though he knows it won't do the trick.

"what? not to be rude but you still have to accompany me to mr. uehara's office" yn stood there, confused. taerae chuckles at his words, not taking them seriously.

"i don't think you'll need my help, can't you just go ask lee to help you with that task?" taerae looks back, a smile on his face, showcasing his deep dimples.

"no, jeonghyeon is busy with the trial, your the only one who can go to the office with me" yn walks over to taerae, and the shorter sighs. "your a grownup are you not? so you getting lost in seoul while looking for mr. uehara's office seems pretty impossible" taerae's voice was much calmer, his smile not fading.

"i'll treat you to lunch if you accompany me, besides, it's hotaek who usually goes to mr. uehara's office, not me" yn replied.

"lunch? are you ridiculous?" taerae scoffs. "we aren't even acquainted, what makes you think you can bribe me?"

okay, that's a lie, they are acquainted, and they have been for as long as they can remember, but close? taerae would never say he was close to yn.

"oh yes we are, gunwook likes me, admires me even! we've been acquainted since our first case together back when we both still resided in chungcheongnam-do" yn smiled, though his cheeks flushed.

it must be the temperature.

but they're inside a coroners laboratory?

taerae decides to brush it off.

"i.. ugh— fine, just to get this case through, i'll come with you" taerae sees yn's eyes light up, which is exactly why he continues.

"but, you should refrain from bothering me, that's all i ask" and again, before yn can give a response, taerae pushes past him, grabbing his coat and walking out of the door.

I wish that ESPN would take my name off of their racist production “O.J.: Made in America”. I thought that Ezra Edelman, the black producer, would have some control over the project, but higher ups apparently decided to take Jeffrey Toobin’s racist line that blacks are “incapable of recognizing reality.”* He says that the black jurors in the criminal trial and elsewhere can’t think as well as whites, and shouldn’t receive “a pat on the head.” The late Norman Mailer, Mr. Incoherent, suggested something similar in New York magazine. This is a Eugenics line, which holds that blacks make decisions based on emotions, and not reason, which must come as a surprise to the black scientists who work at NASA.

The second part of Toobin’s pro-police, pro-prosecution theory was that the decision in the criminal case was the jury paying the LAPD back for its past brutality against blacks. (One of the jurors was white!) Bill Hodgman got sick and wasn’t able to try the case, yet there he was on “O.J.: Made In America,” voicing his theory of the case.

In the series, other prosecutors yammered on and on about theories that were disproven in court. A detective who might have planted evidence was allowed to take up time. In order to make the case that the decision in the criminal trial was based on black grievances about the LAPD, or Mark Furhman, they used a black juror whose opinion fit this marketable line instead of jurors who voted on the basis of evidence that had been tampered with. The late Philip Vanatter never explained why he carried a vial of the victim’s blood to O.J.’s estate.**

Of course, Toobin, who is Harvard trained and Harvard married and whose parents were well-off, refuses to believe that the police plant evidence, even when Mark Furhman had a history of such practices.

Those who are making money from black Bogeyman marketing, in this case O.J. is the commodity, neglect to mention that the jury in the criminal trial included a white and a Hispanic. Interviewed recently, the Hispanic juror said that he was convinced that the police had planted evidence. Are Hispanics prone to conspiracy theories or just blacks? He’s backed up by three of the top American forensic experts: Henry Lee, Michael Baden and Cyril Wecht. Wecht believes that O.J. Simpson was guilty, but believes that the police planted the blood on the sock found in O.J.’s bedroom. Other blood evidence was obviously taken from the lab because it was tainted with a chemical preservative.

One of the positive results of the trial was that it exposed the sloppy way that evidence is handled in the country’s crime labs, resulting in thousands of innocent people being sent to prison. Though much was made of O.J.’s shoes appearing at the crime scene, Michael Baden said that policemen, who refused to wear booties, made most of the prints.

Toobin’s idea of evidence is hair samples found at the crime scene, which he says belonged to O.J. Many scientists dismiss hair evidence as junk science. Moreover the hair found at the crime scene was dyed. O.J.’s barber said that O.J. didn’t dye his hair. The media neglected to mention that hair identified as Caucasian hair was also found at the crime scene and the DNA found under Nicole’s fingernails gathered there when she fought off her attacker or attackers didn’t belong to O.J. Instead of turning the blood evidence over to the lab, one of the detectives carried it around.

Toobin’s book, The Run Of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson, was used in both O.J. series.”O.J.,Made in America,” and Fox’s “The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story,” The book was used to cover up police and prosecutorial misconduct. He recently said that the idea of prosecutorial misconduct is “ridiculous.” Tell that to the thousands of black and Hispanic defendants in jail because of lying policemen and prosecutors withholding exculpatory evidence. Incidentally, one of the black jurors was a DNA scientist. She didn’t appear on either of the O.J. moneymakers because she would have upset the line promoted by ESPN and earlier Fox, that blacks played the “Race Card,” instead of being persuaded by the arguments made by Barry Scheck and the other forensic scientists. In order to stir media’s big money maker–The Racial Divide–ESPN showed the usual footage of blacks cheering the decision and whites expressing gloom. Whites in a Buffalo bar cheered the decision. O.J. played football in Buffalo.

As for the civil trial held in Santa Monica, 64% of the white jurors mostly*** believed in O.J. Simpson’s guilt before they were seated. They finally captured the coon in Las Vegas where he foolishly invaded a hotel room for the purpose of retrieving his own memorabilia. ESPN omitted the fact that the F.B.I. was informed of the sting weeks before it happened.**** The O.J. revenge sentence was delivered by Judge Jackie Glass, who had to insist that it had nothing to do with the Brentwood murders. She gave him 33 years. Some saw this as excessive. It was. It was meant to make up for the life sentence that the jury in the criminal case refused to deliver.

ESPN suggested that O.J. deserved the sentence by preceding the Las Vegas caper with scenes of a decadent O.J. partying with scantily clothed white women, a scene that has always been a big money maker for the perverse to leer at, which is why the porno movie genre called combo is a big hit even among KKK members. This porno angle has brought power to people like Tennessee’s Senator Corker, who won an election by pairing his black opponent Harold Ford, Jr. with white Playboy bunnies. Corker is on the short list to be Trump’s Vice Presidential nominee.

When the “producer” Ezra Edelman interviewed me, I made all of the points I’ve enumerated here. Moreover, James Poniewozik in The New York Times, June 20, 2016, made none of these important points in a friendly summary of the two O.J. entertainments. It was a Times reporter who agreed with Toobin that the murderer’s gloves fit O.J. He, like Toobin, didn’t witness the demonstration.

My interview wasn’t used because it would have disturbed this entertainment that was meant to comfort a white audience into believing that all of the questions about the Brentwood murders have been answered. They haven’t. 35 million people watched it. That’s why it faithfully supported the line of the prosecutors and the police, regardless of whether O.J. is guilty or innocent of the Brentwood murders.

Meanwhile Jeffrey Toobin, the black Bogeyman entrepreneur, has probably made more money pimping O.J. than all of the money made from Virginia slaves during a given year. He’s the new kind of slave trader. He wants more. Who is the next black Bogeyman that Toobin will deliver to an audience that can’t get enough of this garbage in, garbage out? It’s been announced. It’s Cinque of the Symbionese Liberation Army. Fox will make a film about Patty Hearst using Toobin’s point-of-view.*****

HOW AM I STILL GETTING OJ QUESTIONS
