If you think I'm updating you on the Judge Parker "plot" or whatever, forget it

Judge Parker, 11/19/23

Way back in the early days of the War on Terror, "black site" was an ominous phrase used to describe grim, secretive locations in countries willing to look the other way when it came to various human rights laws where the CIA could torture people, but the phrase's sense has shifted over the years, to the extent that in the 2019 film Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbes and Shaw, there's a recurring location that is identified as a "black site" on-screen that appears to simply be some office space that the CIA has rented in London. You can see why the Agency might have given up on the phrase in exasperation and now just calls them "detention centers". Anyway, I'm really enjoying the pissy-face competition Sam and this CIA lady are having, which I assume will end either with him defeating her and becoming a high-ranking official in the American intelligence apparatus, or with him getting tortured to death right there in the middle of this "detention center."
