It's Sunday so it's football all day.
When it's not I have Game of Thrones on. Think it'll be the 4th time I've gone all the way through?

I checked out most of the new Squid Game reality game show (watched the fictional K-drama original Squid Game last year) and I must say, I am horrified.
Here I was expecting something like American Ninja Warrior show and resemble a sports-style competition, same challenges as the original fictional show but more as a test of skill and athleticism. Like, surely the producers of such a show would not actually try to act like the show's notorious villains, i.e. the rich elites that created the competition, and reveal their evil to the world? I'm sure they have at least that much tact, right?
No, I somehow even as an avowed communist managed to underestimate the depravity of our elite. They made the reality show as true to the original fiction story as they could possibly get away with. Obviously, contestants are not killed when they lose, but they make a point to humiliate losing contestants, and to psychologically torture all of them as much as possible. It is some truly sadistic stuff.
Yes, I watched it anyway. If my decision to watch or not watch made a difference, I wouldn't. Since it doesn't, I watch... to bear witness.

I was looking for a new show to watch, more on the side of light-viewing (episodes not too long, won't suck me in too much), and was gifted a fancy set of tools for the holidays last weekend. So I started with the first episode/pilot of Home Improvement! (It's on Disney+). I'll definitely be keeping an eye on what sorts of DIY projects Tim Allen gets up to, both to see what should and should not be attempted at home lol.

If sci-fi/fantasy/action & adventure are your preferred genres then I'd highly recommend!

I watched the first episode of the mini-series Ancient Powers last night. Interesting to see how both climate changes and pollution affected the Indus Valley Civilisation, Mohenjo-daro & that of the Romans, respectively. It was also facinating to note how the ancient Minoans prospered as a co-operative civilisation, perhaps somewhat akin to the ancient peoples of Caral?

Jon Stewart is set to reprise his role as the host of The Daily Show. I might have to check it out. Can't be worse than what it was; Trevor Noah is terrible.

It requires liking a certain type of humor, not an especially intelligent or high-brow type! Did you get into Seinfeld at all (same creator)?
