Veronica mars is great. Really scratched that Buffy itch for me, but with added noir. I’m enjoying high potential at the moment, but it’s not to the same level.

Yes, basically, the office, but in government, but not cheery like parks and rec, more exacerbated and annoyed, like the thick of it, but not angry, like the thick of it. All are great in their own way.

I don’t think so. Trump is undoubtedly a con man. However, I think it’s going to be studies about the media and misinformation channels that dominate history books. Trump doesn’t have psychological insight. He acts on impulse and is a compulsive liar and narcissist. It’s how he was portrayed and how social media, in particular “engagement” driving views and clicks that will be studied. Obviously, the owners of these channels realised the power of the algorithm, just like previous oligarchs realised the value of newspapers and tv stations. It just became more hidden and personalised how we were being manipulated.
