Although #Scotland has done really well in keeping down the #murder rate in #cities and large towns, they might still have issues in #rural areas - this whole case is like a real life episode of #Taggart [1]

[1] A 1980s/90s detective drama series from Scottish Television (it might even be familiar to some in USA as I think it got exported there)

"There’s a joke in #BlazingSaddles, about an event that took place several thousand years ago, that maybe hasn’t aged so well.

It’s in the scene where #HarveyKorman’s conniving Attorney General #HedleyLamarr brainstorms plans to clear away the town of Rock Ridge. #Lamarr’s lackey #Taggart, played by #SlimPickens, makes a modest proposal: “We’ll kill the firstborn male child in every household.”

Lamarr considers the idea, before dismissing it. “Too #Jewish,” he says.

When I heard that quip in a recent rewatch with my girlfriend (her first time), I saw a new reason why you couldn’t make the #film today: Modern audiences, particularly those amateur critics itching to sound off online, seem to have more fluency in #bloodlibels about #Jews than the #Passover narrative #MelBrooks and Co. were riffing on. For those who think the #Epsteinfiles contain damning proof of elites eating babies, “too Jewish” might seem like an admission."

Dear internet: Having Jews in movies isn’t ‘Zionist propaganda’

Viewers of new films, and old, are missing the plot on the Jewish story

Drew Taggart de The Chainsmokers se casa con la maniquí Marianne Fonseca – ButterWord

Drew Taggart and Marianne Fonseca are officially married. The Grammy winner — who alongside Alex Pall makes up the EDM duo The Chainsmokers — and the model/GENTE Beauty founder tied the knot recently in a stunning sunset beach wedding.

What with the actor who played Hudson having been fired, and the dog who played Rex having died, it seems a bit rich to be still calling the series #HudsonAndRex .

But I am reminded that they continued to call it #Taggart for 16 years after Mark McManus died.

Not a good look to have fired an actor for being treated for cancer, though.

Found scrawled on a doorway to a tenement close in Shawlands. I'm sure it wasn't meant that way, but when read in a Taggart-style Glaswegian accent, these words can sometimes sound more like a threat than a heart-felt expression of true love!

The unofficial Detective Chief Inspector Mike Jardine memorial plaque under the Caledonian Railway Bridge in Glasgow. This definitely falls into the Keep Glasgow Weird category as DCI Jardine was a fictional character in Taggart, the much loved Glaswegian Police Drama. He was killed in a 2002 episode called Death Trap after being knocked unconscious and thrown into the Clyde where he drowned.

this one comes as a bit of a surprise even to myself, but:

#perch (formerly called #taggart) just had its 1.0.0 release, and you can use it to bulk-edit the basic #id3 #metadata of #music from the #tui!

here's a video of #taggart resizing columns using https://docs.rs/unicode-width/latest/unicode_width/ to cut the string at the correct locations!

still doesn't save, still crashes on backspace, but at least it looks cute now! next - make it save tags, thanks to https://docs.rs/lofty (as recommended by https://codeberg.org/Frieder_Hannenheim), and that'll probably be the v0.1

TrimString and TrimStringRef are now available in the underlying framework, #tengri. all work on this precipitates into #tek, the original #tui #daw 😉
