  • Calling the Steele dossier “fraudulent and discredited” is not really accurate. It never purported to be anything beyond mostly unverified oppo research, and I don’t think it was ever actually completed before it got leaked. It also did in fact contain things that turned out to be correct or largely correct, although obviously the most famous alleged event was never proven, and it also contained things that turned out to not be correct. Being a compilation of mostly unverified oppo research when it was leaked it obviously was going to contain both true and untrue claims, that it did does not discredit it or mean it was fraudulent.



  • Poirot. It’s charming, full of mostly subtle humor, and generally just well written, acted, and produced. I appreciate that it has a deeply humane perspective where justice matters, and that effort has been put into historical accuracy. It’s also sufficiently detached from contemporary reality that its not a downer to watch even though it still has a very honest view of human nature.
