I am quite skeptical that many will do a 180 after seeing Fauda on their Jew hating viewpoint/Palestinianism…

I have been interacting with ‘Hamas’ supporters for over 20 years. I will aver that in that time the have become ‘stupider more’. They are now so uninformed (or maybe ‘ill-informed’ is a better term) that they are a different species to…[Read more]

Enco,

I don’t think Netflix’ tends to promote its content so that you would encounter it organically.

Well, normally. I’ll see streaming movies and series like the Yellowstone franchises and the Oppenheimer or Wicked movies cross-promoted and co-branded on boxes for different TVs.

I…[Read more]

Jake:

Enco,

Fauda is a good series. Another one in that genre is Lioness. I am really enjoying that one. I think it is just Paramount though with a few episodes on Prime.

That’s a pity. Paramount has a great line-up, including every Star Trek series and every Star Trek movie, but I had too many technical problems with the service to justify…[Read more]

Jake and Reg:

‘m kind of wondering: Could the fact that I had not heard of this series mean that Netflix is scared to promote it in the present zeitgeist?

Or could it mean that Wokeists/Palestinianists/Islamists/Toadies in the theater/critical journalist realm don’t want to review it?

Jake and Reg:

I’m going to say something that’s gonna floor you!: I never heard of the series Fauda until now, much less that it had 5 seasons!

Netflix has had problem of affordability since even before Trump. It doubled in price when I had to drop it a few years ago (that’s a 100% rise in price translated to MAGA mathematicians.). The quality…[Read more]

Reg:

My discussion with my friend hasn’t turned to weeks yet and he has said that Vaccines are among the greatest boons to mankind, so he may not be too deep in the rabbit hole, but he has indicated in the past a like of listening to Art Bell and Alex Jones. (I have too, but with a very comedic funny bone on my eardrum.)

We’ll see how things…[Read more]

I also thought the casting of Melanie Laurent was clever, given her role in ‘Inglorious Basterds’.

Yes, just finished Fauda S5 this evening. All 5 seasons are worth watching. I will watch it again for E7 and E8. I was guessing it would go there but I was still surprised. I will leave my comments at that for now.

A non-confrontational approach is the only way. Some pointers….

…..and a 40-year-old female resident of Jefferson County died on Saturday, September 12, 2026, from complications associated with measles.

I’m doing my small part to see that there are no more victims of fully preventable killers.

I heard there was a flu season coming too, so I decided not to participate this past Labor Day weekend, as a…[Read more]

World of Woo: Pete Hegseth.

Pete Keg’s-Breath and Bobby Brainworm are the kind of idiots who say: “Welp! Ye go to war with the military you have!”

Uh, no! Not if you want to win that war!

During the last war the U.S. won–World War II, it’s been that long–we didn’t fight with the Military we had! We took the Military we had and made…[Read more]

Have a great week!!

Fellow Unbelievers:

This thread also needs re-reading 25 years after 9/11/2001 and one year after Charlie Kirk’s murder.

Although my assessments of Charlie Kirk’s views have gone down, especially after platforming Christian Nationalist lunatic Victor Marx, I still say he and no one else deserves murder for mere words.

And as always, in this…[Read more]

Jake:

Ferguson says a borderline contradictory and stupid statement at end of vid in which he asserts something like ‘if we maintain our faith in god and uphold the values of a free society’.

You are indeed right here and it’s more than borderline contradictory. Like I said earlier:

Leaving aside insidental God-talk at the end, he has cha…
