Only Fakers in the Building

Last night's Only Murders in the Building, directed by the ever reliable Jamie Babbit, revealed the killer for this season. As usual, there were no real clues that could have enabled any viewer to reason out the killer's identity but I found it to be a very satisfying reveal anyway.

So, yes, the guy with imposter syndrome turns out to be an imposter! I love this idea, especially because I think so many people with imposter syndrome are imposters. How could it not be so when American colleges have basically become expensive daycare centres for adults, particularly in the humanities department? Do you know how many students I met at college who wouldn't dream of reading a book through, let alone going to the trouble of developing their own thoughts? An obscene number, I assure you. But every time someone says, "Gee, I don't think I'm actually qualified for my job," we're all supposed to say, no, no, you just have cold feet. We could be encouraging them to do their diligence instead. Try making an effort, you might feel better.

It's not to say the average professional imposter is a murderer like the guy on Only Murders in the Building. But the kind of whiny hustler he is certainly familiar. His fake beard is even funnier now.

Only Murders in the Building is available on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ elsewhere.

I don't know what video to post so here's another Selena Gomez video:

I liked the joke last night about her "erotic non-sexuality" and her sad reply, "It's the sweaters." I think I was right that it was Gomez's dissatisfaction that led to her sexier look last season.
