    What did you watch?

    Yesterday the topic of that all-white settlement came up, and I visited
    the founder's YouTube channel. I watched "The Hyperborean Homeland."

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmHKjzZ9Kuc

    It was somewhat interesting. He is definitely racist. There's a lot of
    AI, but it's human-directed, not slop. There's a definite idealization problem, though, including a tendency to make all the figures
    implausibly sexy. The content was mostly a review of legends of the Hyperboreans, with the added fillip that the legendary Hyperboreans were white people.

    I also watched a little more Only Murders in the Building. It remains interesting and absurd. I can't believe I never knew this was a comedy. Until I decided to try it, I was under the impression that it was a
    drama about solving mysteries.

    It becomes less funny with each season


    What did everyone else watch?

    I'm still enjoying S3. Much of the humor comes from absurdity, which
    helps IMO.
