Most ongoing-type shows sometimes have episodes that are back-to-back in time, but will make it up so the season is more or less a year, right? I'm thinking of like Grey's Anatomy where two episodes might take place in the same few days.

I'm seeing a new rash of those "I'm cleaning out my friends list - answer yes or no if you still want to be included" things going around. Am I alone in finding those annoying and really kind of off-putting?

Nope, not alone.

Thanks, those are great, and Day Break is the greatest. Show most unruined by Victoria Pratt being unable to act in the slightest. How. Is. She. Cast?

I've seen a couple, too, recently, and I sometimes wonder if they're posted by some app and not the actual person. I don't know why I think that, except that the junk underneath isn't the usual comment, like, bar. And I don't see some of the people posting them as actually doing things like that. But I don't know. Then I get paranoid that some random stealth app is posting crap like that on my wall, only I can't see it. Oh, well.

Twin Peaks episodes were consecutive days. There's one episode that opens with "3 days later," but I think that's the only break in the timeline.

But, Steph, WHY do white people all want rope corsets? We need a research grant to study this phenomenon, stat.

FB has an "algorithm"? Like, you just don't see the stuff your friends post, in the order they post it?

But that'd be why I signed up!

Don't understand...

Steph, I'm not sure you have to have been born with a penis, and there's always the possibility that merely having sex with a member of the family suffices for entree. I'm willing to broker that if need be.

Facebook is a fucking mess, and also people post weird things and ALSO I think that "cleaning out my closet" business is annoying.

And I just remembered my new coworker is presenting at a conference, so that must be what she is doing in there, not working on her old job. So that's better.

Like, you just don't see the stuff your friends post, in the order they post it?

You'd think, right? Algorithm may be too strong a word. Some monkeys throwing sticks at the keyboard may be closer. But no. For some people, it decides you want IMPORTANT posts only, however FB defines that. For some you get "most" posts. I think you can manually set or change them, but who the hell knows anymore.

Now having a Tunblr, I've followed Good Stuff! People following me, fair warning, all I do is reblog stuff. I can't be arsed to come up with new stuff. Really, I only have it so I can politely stalk Tom Hiddleston.
