This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

It seems a very odd choice, especially because I think the point of Poirot is that he's an odd little fellow very set in his ways, and I personally think that's more believable when it's an old man who's gotten set in his ways and is indulged because even though he's little and a bit effete and strange and foreign he's still an older gentleman who's earned his reputation and has the authority that goes with it, if that makes sense.

I've watched all the Kenneth Brannagh movies and while they have moments that I enjoy and think are cute - like the bit where he's like, I can't have an even number of desserts, you have to take one away - the way that he's a fucking action hero and whatever is stupid.

I don't know if they're planning to show more of his police career directly after the war, but again, I think he's more interesting precisely because he's outside of the police as a private detective.

I don't know, a lot of shows keep trying to reboot various established historical "IP"s as youthful and sexy, but in ways that are pretty divorced from what's new and interesting.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

May I present the best apple:

The reason Americans are Like That about apples is because of supermarket food chains that value shelf life above all else, and also like. The Washington state apple-growing monopoly. (Do I resent Washington because their disgusting Red Delicious apples put my local apple farms out of business? Yes, yes I do.)

I know that apples were in common cultivation during Roman times (there’s a small, late-hanging apple called the Lady Apple that is supposedly a Roman cultivar, though whether that is to be believed is in some debate.) I would guess that rooting cutting might have come before grafting - a lot of plants can be propagated by laying a branch down on the dirt and holding in there with a rock until it grows roots, at which point you can cut the newly rooted plant off from the mother plant.

I would love to know more about the origins of apple cultivation, but my wild guess would be that before grafting or rooting they were probably more like a foraging crop - but since apple trees can live for a hundred years or more, people would probably have a very good idea of where to go to find reliable crops of edible fruit, even if they weren’t growing apple trees in orchards.
