Thursday Murder Club talking points in my home: - colour scheme choice (warm, friendly, not murder-y at all) - interior sets vs Coopers Chase building layout - cost per month to retire in Coopers Chase - why wasn't this made as a series instead? - what is cozy crime?

The outsourcing of labour, be it for cost or convenience, is such a slippery slope. That being said, "They're going to Ireland to shoot gameshows!" is going to be in my head all day.

Our leading English-language newspaper printed an AI-generated photo to go with an article about senior citizens. Did we run out of photographers and actual senior citizens for newspics? Should I be grateful they acknowledged it was AI in the description? 😭
