I've started watching this documentary about Ted Bundy on Amazon Prine, watched first 2 episodes so far.
Main 2 people on it have been his girlfriend and her daughter. Its naturally disturbing but also interesting. His ability to go from one person to another is quite hard to believe, a lot of the people they have spoke to are either those who knew one side of him and talk about what a lovely guy he was, but also interview 2 survivors who tell another story.

a common psychopathic tendency is to be able to compartmentalise aspects of life with little crossover between the distinct areas so this is bang on with the being a nice guy to some and a murderous beast to others.

There was one which was chilling, his girl friend was waiting for him at some party or something, he was running late as he had just kidnapped a young girl, then turns up all sweetness and the life of the party.

TBF to call that a common psychopathic trait is probably to understate how common that is; you could almost argue (given how often that phenomenon crops up in history and society) its an innate part of the human psyche, with its absence being the unusual thing. The only thing that differentiates it is whether the reason behind the murderousness is socially justifiable or not.
you're blob on, there will be many many people on here who are on the register to some degree, someone like a pathologist or a surgeon, will all be on the scale but not as far up as to be criminally so. Cutting people up whether they are dead or alive isn't a 'normal' thing to be doing but they can normalise it by compartmentalising it. The human brain and psyche is really interesting,

Got to agree it was really good, sad at the end had a lump in my throat. Great man
I watched it too, a really well made doc, mixing the success with the tragedy of his illness. It portrayed him as a spike man, sometimes difficult to get on with, but a man who made the most of his abilities and won a nation over. Those too young to appreciate the 'troubles' in NI may not get the obstacles he had to overcome in the early days. A wrong word or action here or there could have easily ended in tragedy. RIP big fella.

I watched Seaspiracy, as someone who has followed seas shepherd I was already aware of a lot of these issues but after this I am cutting sea food from my diet completely on grounds of plastic consumption. We will regret ruining the oceans in future I guarantee it.
Agree. The seas are close to being ruined. Certain countries will not stop until there is nothing left alive in the sea. Or on land...

The Japanese just do not care neither do the faroe islands, I don't like commenting on other cultures as i don't find it my place but how are they allowed to get away breaking the worldwide ban on whaling, caught on camera by sea shepherd lots of times yet nothing ever done.
I've watched three recently
Faking It: Jimmy Saville on Discovery +. Talk about hiding in plain sight. Mostly based around an interview he gave to Andrew Neil in the 1990s. The arrogance of the man is breathtaking - he thought he was untouchable.
Eight Days a Week, on Netflix. (think it's on YouTube as well) About The Beatles touring years, how they eventually got fed up of it. Lots of clips of them talking about why they stopped doing live gigs.
The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, on Sky Arts. Their story. Worth a watch even if you are not a fan of their music. I hadn't realised how many quality songs they wrote for other people.
