Not sure how many people remember or have watched 'Continuum', but apparently it's already been 13 years since it premiered in Canada on the Showcase channel on May 27, 2012. The show was about time travel, and had its protagonist find herself in present time, chasing a group of escaped criminals who were trying to change the future where governments have collapsed and corporations have taken over and formed an oligarchy run by CEOs in the form of the Global Corporate Congress.

Initially she is trying to stop them, but as the story unfolds and she realises that the system she is trying to protect is not just flawed but a dystopian corporate dictatorship, things get complicated. And boy that was definitely a premise. It was a solid Sci-Fi series that didn't get much love, but it did last for 4 season and got a proper ending that wraps the story up and offers an all in all satisfying conclusion.

I feel such a hunger for stories about #queer adults, for whom coming out is firmly in the rearview mirror and bullying is no longer an issue… but who still deal with the innumerable other conflicts any human being can face.
Of course, a handful of films and shows do that very well… but what if you want more than a handful? How do you find them? Where do you dig?

How did censorship work on Portuguese television during the Estado Novo?

Rita Luís and José Ricardo Carvalheiro examined censorship in action focusing on variety shows, exploring "the theoretical dimensions of regulatory and constitutive censorship" and following "agents who traverse and link various fields to ensure television censorship operates in informal and less visible ways".

Anything good on Hulu? We signed up for D+ to get Andor.

We prefer series over movies. We like stuff that has an element of mystery. Zero tolerance for sv.

Boosties appreciated!

"J'ai un objectif, c'est de vendre le plus de livres possible" expliquait Louis Sarkozy, qui a bénéficié d'une couverture médiatique inversement proportionnelle à son talent dans les médias pour son livre sur Napoléon. Bilan des ventes : 2131 exemplaires vendus. C'est plus Waterloo qu'Austerlitz, pour reprendre les mots d'un internaute. Mais cette campagne lui a permis de se faire connaître du grand public.

Yikes! This might be difficult to watch.
