It makes no sense to me that the Amazon app is so slow.
Don't these guys run one of the largest cloud computing platforms in the world?

I have come to dread the web. The cookie notices. The pop ups. The randomly refreshng pages. The bullshit SEO fluff. The consistently garish layouts and themes.
For a brief period I found Twitter to be a superior source of information but for a few years now it has been a real chore to slog through the web of shit.
Ad blockers help a lot and they work well. I have multiple approaches to blocking ads and they are all excellent, hands-free, zero maintenance solutions.
One thing I really wish worked better is reader mode. This is a true godsend when it works, but it's too manual a process. I want to see everything in reader mode all the time without a hint of the underlying crap.
The IMDB reviews for The Idol were so bad (4.7 and falling) that I just had to watch it.
There was some real potential here and many good moments. I was often entranced with the atmosphere of the production.
Depp is a hard sell as a Britney type. Her aristocratic supermodel type look is just not right for the role. She can act but doesn't seem like an actual pop star.
Many characters suddenly change in episode 4 which felt forced and unreal.
There is one girl, Chloe, who is genuinely talented but Izzac (sp?) is no Prince (lol) and the whole band of gypsy artist kids is pretty lame.
The ending is just awful. There is this weak-ass twist that just absolutely fails.
I'd say it deserves a 6, maybe 6.4.
Sitting in the yard earlier I suddenly became aware of a fully mature buck sauntering past me, less than 6 feet away.
"Whoah," I said, and he looked at me as though he was thinking the same thing.
Neither of us panicked and he went on his way. I was surprised at how fuzzy his antlers were. I see does and fawns everyday but the bucks are very rare.
