Going to bitch about Functional Breeding again.

I re-joined so I could participate in thoughtful discussions about IVDD, how to manage it in a breeding program, how to eradicate it in a breed.

People who had never heard the words "intervertebral disc disease" prior to Dr Bannasch's podcast two weeks ago are now total experts. We have calls to let breeds in which CDDY is set go extinct. Breeding dogs that have at least one copy of CDDY is totally unethical (because breeds with CDDY set should cease to exist). There is no such thing as carefully breeding it out; they just need to stop existing.

It is unethical to sell dogs with CDDY to sport homes. All dogs with CDDY are in pain. Yes, even if they show no signs of it and are choosing to be active into old age. Breed enthusiasts with conflicting experience are in denial/ignorant/unethical/don't care about their dogs/etc. Agility is the most hardcore and dangerous of dog sports, and anyone who even thinks about doing agility with a CDDY dog is an animal abuser. CDDY dogs that don't show signs of pain were simply bred to have too much drive to show pain (which is unethical).

I'd forgotten that this is the group that calls for the complete eradication of all brachy breeds, no exceptions. I'm also remembering that within the first six months of the group being created, someone had called for dwarf breeds to go extinct, so I guess that was foreshadowing.

#facebook #it's really pissing me off #I think I'm reaching the limits of what use I can get out of this subject in this group #all the armchair experts coming out of the woodwork to argue with breed enthusiasts who have their boots on the ground #I've been reading every IVDD paper I can get my hands on for the last four years and am still a noob #but brenda listened to dr bannasch's podcast last week so she knows more than me #random things that irk me

Jemma canon?

Okey, so I was listening to the Armchair Expert podcast the Jenna Ortega episode (which and not to like dig in to her business to much or be rude or inappropriate in any way) but when they Dax asks her how she didn’t fall in love with Georgie or Percy during their time in Romania and they said something along the line with “and you could like girls” Jenna just ignores that and begin talking about Emma Myers instead. And she says that she thought about her all the time and felt protective of her. A little sus maybe?

May it just be me wishing one of my favorite actors is also queer? Maybe. Maybe not.

Again not trying to force her into coming out or something it was just something that caught my attention while listening.

Have a lovley morning, day or night everyone

I really enjoy listening to David Farrier’s Flightless Bird podcast on the Armchair Expert podcast network with Monica Padman

Christian Horner about Max Verstappen's personality | Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard Podcast - eff won: Christian Horner Debrief. Nov 4

Horner: The moment he takes the helmet off, he's the nicest young guy you could ever meet (..)

Shepard: He's shy right?

Horner: He's shy, he's naturally shy. Fame sets uncomfortably with him. He is not a diva or anything like that. He's just one of the boys.

Shepard: It's interesting that I've met other drivers and of course gathered gossip about all of them. Every time I hear the stories (about Max) the kind of resounding unanimous feedback is like everyone loves Max. Everyone tells me Max is actually the sweetest guy off the track. And shy and nice..

Horner: He's a good guy, he's a fun guy and he's old school as well. (...) He trains hard he takes it all very very seriously, but he's got such a huge ability.. I've never met a driver with as much self-confidence and self-belief.

This is fucking scary. A flood of concern-trolling media coverage of trans issues has had the desired effect

[specters]

the obsession with true crime really has rotted people’s brains like this isn’t just a “casual interest” anymore, these people are out here playing armchair psychologist and psychoanalyzing behaviors of abuse victims to see if it fits their idea of what “real victims” act like (as if that can even be measured) because they think their Superior Knowledge of the Minds of Criminals earned by listening to some podcasts makes them an expert. & true crime youtubers like bailey sarian don’t actually give a SHIT about victims of [insert atrocity here], they just care about the content and what entertainment value can come from it. it’s fun to them, rather than horrifying. and that’s really, really scary. this is what your brain on true crime looks like 

#you cant claim to care abt victims and then be like 'im really sad that this dv trial is ending it was so so so much fun 🥺' actually die #bailey has always been fucking weird particularly these last few years like #shes been tweeting this trial like it's a soap opera. and she's not the only one #abuse mention #domestic violence #there is a subset of depp supporters who r true crime luvrs and you can rly tell who they are

'...Social media has played into this Irish invasion, with users fangirling over actors like Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, Andrew Scott, and Cillian Murphy. All of these men have been recognized for their work in critically acclaimed and/or popular films in 2023. Cillian Murphy is nominated for (and forecast to win) an Oscar for his role in Oppenheimer.

...this new male-driven phenomenon likely stems from the convergence of the two online trends: an overwhelming fan appetite for male celebrities in the “internet boyfriend” era, and a growing interest in Irish culture. The result is a super-online (and horny) generation of Hibernophiles.

...the modern romanticization of Irish men doesn’t seem to be pegged to one film or moment in time, and a cursory Google search pulls up a slew of articles declaring the purported pros of dating Irish men. These lists are not necessarily based on hard facts as much as cultural assumptions, and many of them, including one by Popsugar, emphasize the Irish’s supposed charm, good looks, chattiness, and love for their mothers...

Presumably, there’s a link between the idyllic postcard image many Americans have of Ireland — lush green pastures, poetry, music, and a friendly population — and the view of Irish men as ideal romantic partners. It has certainly helped that Americans and consumers worldwide have been inundated with images of handsome Irish men in popular culture, from former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan to One Direction member Niall Horan to scruffy sex symbol Colin Farrell. While interviewing Cillian Murphy on his podcast Armchair Expert in 2022, host Dax Sheppard raved about the “inordinate amount of handsome men” he encountered on a trip to Ireland...

The 1845 Irish famine meant a huge influx of immigrants to the US, and the men quickly gained a reputation as “feckless, uncultured, and prone to drunkenness and violence,” Burke explained. “That stereotype has been argued to have persisted to some degree right up to the era of John F. Kennedy.” Kennedy’s election, she says, was thought to signal the full assimilation of the Irish in America. (A shift that, in turn, brought us notable Irish Americans like Alec Baldwin, Sean Hannity, and Bill O’Reilly.)

This shift in perception represents the “flexible racial status of Irishness,” as Diane Negra, film studies professor at the University College Dublin, writes in the book The Irish in Us: Irishness, Performativity and Pop Culture. She expands that this is due to a complex history and ethnic identity that allows them to “oscillate between otherness and whiteness.” Likewise, Burke says white Irish people fit into a category of “non-vanilla vanilla” in the Western imagination.

For the American viewer, “Irish actors arguably evoke a kind of safe ‘exoticness,’” she said. “Being native speakers of English with a purportedly cute accent, they are just ‘foreign’ enough for mainstream taste.”

That newfound perception of Irish men as harmless and gentle feels connected to a wider trend that they’ve shown up in on the internet: the “babygirl.” The moniker has become a go-to term of endearment for grown men in Hollywood who are physically attractive and display pleasant traits. According to Mashable, it describes “when a man is being cute, comfortable in his masculinity, or weak in an evocative way.” This act of infantilization can be applied to a wide range of men, but it’s hard not to notice actors like Mescal, Keoghan, Murphy, and Farrell being popular recipients of this treatment online...

The Andrew Haigh film All of Us Strangers, starring Andrew Scott and Mescal, was on the precipice of Oscars glory, with Scott campaigning but failing to make it to the final stage for Best Actor. For months throughout awards season, though, Mescal and Scott were making the internet swoon in joint interviews and red-carpet appearances, demonstrating that their onscreen chemistry carried over into real life. The same attention was paid to Keoghan, who became more of a talking point throughout awards season for his role in the polarizing Emerald Fennell film Saltburn — not to mention that nude dance scene — than a realistic Oscars contender.

Last but not least, there’s Cillian Murphy, whose role in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer could very well win him an Oscar on March 10, after a near-sweep at the year’s major awards ceremonies. The standom and thirst for him on social media is particularly striking, given that he’s had a lengthy, mostly unsung career that hadn’t yielded huge starmaking moments before Oppenheimer, despite playing multiple side characters in Nolan’s filmography. Prior to playing the “father of the atomic bomb” last year, his most notable role as a leading man was as gangster Thomas Shelby in the BBC2 show Peaky Blinders, which ran for almost a decade and earned a strong Tumblr fan base.

Professor and author Christopher Shannon adds that the public’s affinity for Murphy is particularly fascinating, given that American audiences haven’t necessarily fallen in love with him through Irish cinema like previous Irish actors.

“What strikes me about someone like Murphy is that he has achieved his fame mostly in non-Irish roles,” he said. “Murphy is celebrated as an actor who happens to be Irish rather than as a distinctly Irish actor.”

Nevertheless, Murphy’s Irish identity seems to be part of his draw, based on how his online fan base interacts with him. Despite being rather reserved, the Batman Begins star has generated an entire mill of memes, many of them stemming from routinely unenthused interactions and a general “who gives a fuck?” attitude. In particular, it seems as though the internet enjoys the ways he firmly declares his Irishness.

One of his most viral moments is a clip of him repeatedly stating that he’s Irish after an interviewer refers to him and his Inception co-star Tom Hardy as British. Another popular image of Murphy shows the actor seemingly giving Prince Harry a dissenting glare as the cast lines up to meet him at the Dunkirk premiere. This could well just be Murphy’s natural expression (he’s not exactly known for looking cheery), but the internet interpreted Murphy’s look as proof of his disdain for the British monarchy...

Murphy has said that it’s a “good time to be an Irish actor” in Hollywood. At the same time, when asked how he felt about being the first Irish-born actor to win Best Actor at the BAFTAs last week, he seemed slightly exhausted by a sense of tokenism. “It means a lot to me to be Irish,” he answered a journalist. “I don’t know what else to say. Should I sing a rebel song?”

Of course, this quip only made the Murphy Hive fall in love with him more.'
