The videos recently went viral on X, drawing accusations that they showed “war crimes”. Settenbrino wrote in a message to the Guardian that the videos were “taken out of context” but declined to elaborate.

I must be out of the loop. How did they co-opt tiki torches?

Yeah, but it isn’t a thing though right? I have like a dozen in my backyard and I don’t want to start getting dirty looks from my neighbours…

As much evidence as there is that we’re living in the Mirror Universe, there is ever the occasional reminder that it could have been even worse.

This whole post is worth it just for the DCS joke.

Is it in any way possible to rearrange the room so the window reflection isn’t an issue? In my experience no TV cures reflection issues except maybe projector onto a wall types. This would be my first priority. Opaque blinds otherwise (not the flimsy white plastic type that just diffuse most of the light).

Other than the reflection issue, I think you’d be pretty happy with an OLED. Blows the doors off LCD/LED types.

Where is the sofa, because you could wall mount the TV using an arm in the visible corner with a slight tilt so it doesn’t obstruct the small window? That should keep any glare off it from everywhere by the corner to the right (just out of view). An OLED should be well bright enough to easily overpower diffuse indirect light.

Alternatively placing the TV flat against that back wall should allow for decent viewing anywhere to the left of the camera in photo but might get bad diffuse lighting from the door.
