  • I am watching SG1 from the beginning. I saw episodes here and there when it came out but as I’m running out of long running shows and characters to get attached to, I gave it a go. Aside from the incessant and loud background music in season 1, I find it holds well.

    My suggestions are the usual suspects:

    1. The Expanse – A gripping, politically charged space opera about interplanetary conflict, featuring complex characters and high-stakes drama.
    2. The Orville – A mix of comedy and sci-fi drama.
    3. Dark Matter – A Canadian sci-fi series about a crew of amnesiac criminals aboard a spaceship, exploring identity and survival in space.
    4. Ted Lasso – A heartwarming comedy-drama about an American football coach managing a British soccer team, full of humor and positive vibes.
    5. The Night Manager – A stylish espionage thriller with a former soldier-turned-hotel manager drawn into an arms dealer’s world.
    6. Bob’s Burgers – A quirky animated comedy that follows the Belcher family running a burger joint, known for its clever humor and heartwarming moments.
    7. Letterkenny – A fast-paced comedy about the quirky residents of a small Canadian town, blending absurd humor with unique characters.
    8. Killjoys – A loud, action-packed Canadian sci-fi series about bounty hunters navigating a chaotic, lawless planetary system.
    9. Silo – The second season was slow until the final episodes, but the first season was great.

    Edit: I forgot

    Le Bureau des Légendes – Smart, layered French espionage drama with deep moral ambiguity.

    Slow Horses – Gritty and darkly funny spy series about MI5 rejects who still get the job done






  • In the canton of Fribourg in Switzerland, kids go door to door and sing to receive a little bit of change. I don’t know where exactly why or when it started but I moved from one canton to the other when I was a kid and opening the door over and over for people sining in front of you was a surreal experience my first year. The following, I went singing myself :)


  • It’s not the absence of youth that makes women less beautiful. It’s the absence of representation.

    Men at 45: “distinguished.” Women at 45: “expired.” It’s not biology—it’s storytelling. We don’t see ugly old men as ugly—we see them as powerful, confidant, sexy. We don’t see aging women at all.

    That’s not nature. That’s propaganda
