Nocturnal Submission: Freestanding Edition 276

Opioid crisis? What opioid crisis? Scrub on over to 19:00 and play-out to 23:00. Four minutes of high-quality early-’90s British TV (not fetishized the way ’murrikan programming is now) and we begin to understand better how to combat this…no Javanka Task Force necessary. Thank you.

As an aside, if you notice anything about SOcial MEdia, the things the loudest voices are crowing most proudly about are the kinds of entertainments they partake of, and the quality of the food they ingest. Yes, those certainly are two things to be most proud of: watching and eating. What used to be simple, uncelebrated tasks — watching and eating— are suddenly the most important things in the world. Now what? Who cares about the larger world outside when your bread-and-circuses mentality is enough! Yeah! Plug-in, fill-up, drop out, baby! Wooooooooooooo…
