Why people want to watch dysfunctional people then praise it is goofy goofy goofy.

Can’t wait to watch that first episode of Succession, thanks Blue.

Love me some Kiffness. His expressions at the start always crack me up. And his songs are better than anything in the pop top 10.

I'm not a businessman

Aren't you tho?

and if you like icing on your cake

This is the second time Davis has been arrested since taking office in 2019. Davis was placed on probation last September for a 2019 case in which he pled no contest to driving while impaired, speeding and obstructing a police officer.

I am wildly exhausted today so that is the song I am vibing to. I do love his channel.

Sniffing body odor generally makes me fairly anxious to locate myself somewhere else, so I agree with the headline...;)

Hated the show. Ditto with Yellowstone (except for the outdoor bath in Season 1 LOL).

First, I assume people watch shows with dysfunctional people/families, at least in part, because it makes them feel better about their own situation. Second, one of the better ones I've seen was the movie August: Osage County -- a bunch of A-list actors (including Meryl Streep) as a truly messed up family after the death of the family patriarch. Third, one of my sisters got me to watch Yellowstone. It was much better than I was expecting. Yeah, it is a goofy drama a lot of the time, but it has enough good moments to make it worth watching, at least IMHO. Jimmy's hospital visit from his new girlfriend was one of them.

WOW. I hope she lives a long, healthy, happy life.

I've never seen an episode of Yellowstone.
But 1883 (Follows the Dutton family on the Oregon Trail) and 1923 (a prequel to Yellowstone and a sequel to 1883) are awesome.

I should get around to watching those... thanks for kicking it back to the top of my brain.

Hidari was excellent! Extremely enjoyable 5 minutes. Wish I knew what they were saying but it's so smooth and the sound design was on point. They did an amazing job!

Teen who lost half her brain when very young shows the power of neuroplasticity

This exact case was brought up to me soon after I had my stroke. I don't know if it was bad luck, my age, or the kind of stroke I had but after 3 years, I got almost nothing back. I'm okay with it; in fact I'd much prefer it go better for a 15 year old girl than a grumpy old grognard like me anyway.

I did 5 or so episodes of Yellowstone on a plane. I just couldn't.

Kevin Costner's character is nearly a billionaire, with more land than Rhode Island. But he'll murder and kill to protect it from legal claims around it. And he'll find disenfranchised young men, separate them from their families, mentally and physically abuse them, brand them with his name, tell them no one will love them the way his family does, and brainwash them. That's the nxvim playbook. It's literal cult behavior.

Yet the show seems to want you to root for him and his family, unlike Succession, where the show wants you to enjoy their fuck ups and misery

Lol, this perfectly sums up Yellowstone, also explains why it's so popular among US conservatives.

Just noticed the Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast logo, thanks to all involved*** for making those old logos work in todays internet world. https://www.bluesnews.com/s/258026/out-of-the-blue

***Which I guess is only two, Walter "2" Costinak for creating the logo and Steve for cleaning it up for the current format

Thanks guys

I recorded Yellowstone, but haven't started. I did like 1883 after its first two episodes though. Did you?
