(4,264 posts)unless it's the odd baseball/soccer/football game etc that I'd rather watch on the TV instead of the computer.
(At night I'll watch MSNBC but my mood has been darkening lately seeing how this farce in dark times is being more and more completely and utterly dominated by Dump, and the other side -ahem- just doesn't push back enough imo).
Arrested Development Season 5??? That is awesome. You've made my day with that news.
I'm finishing the last season of The Black List online....
On Netflix I have been watching Santa Clarita Diet - the dialogue I find hilarious.
Eliot Rosewater
(31,106 posts)He is a good actor.
Very good.

And yes to Pamela Adlon. There is nothing not terrific about her.
Eliot Rosewater
(31,106 posts)a few of the actors/characters that is not doing it for me.
But I will watch again.

(66,275 posts)I saw a .gif recently that showed a brief clip of a news reporter on the street, commenting on some recent anti-LGBT legislation.
Two guys behind the reporter started making out like bandits for the camera. Just no holds-barred, passionate, violent snogging. They moved toward the camera, and one of them lifted up his tee shirt and his partner started sucking his nipples. At that point I was laughing silently, holding my sides, and praying I wouldn't lose consciousness from lack of air from laughing so hard.

(66,275 posts)just be warned: I wasn't kidding. I was laughing so hard I was a little dizzy and lightheaded. I really did think I was going to pass out from laughter. So view it at your own risk.

(34,131 posts)And "Classic Doctor Who" on Britbox - almost finished with the first season.
Also been falling asleep to "Tales of Nature" on CuriosityStream Channel. That is a series of shows about the countryside (and some in cities) in France - a part of the world I have never seen nature shows about before.

(54,268 posts)By the way "Nazi" is just an abbreviation of the German word for "national," which is spelled the same, but pronounced "Nah-tsee-oh-nahl." The party was the National Socialist German Workers Party. The "Nationalsozialisten (Nah-tsee-oh-nahl-zo-tsee-ah-list-en)," or "National Socialists," were shortened to NAH-tsee in German (sort of the "Na-shi" part of "National" in English). The plural is, therefore, "Nazis" in German and English, although using an apostrophe is correct when writing in Republicanese--not your intention, I presume?
