I CAN’T BE STOPPED! I WILL SHOVE TWO HOT DOGS IN MY MOUTH INTO MY CHEEKS LIKE A COLD MEAT EATING GERBIL. CHEEKS PUFFED OUT, CHEWING, STARING AT ANYONE WATCHING AND NEVER BREAKING EYE CONTACT.
I listen to NPR regularly and their people seem to like saying “Twitter, which is now known as X.” I dunno why though. I guess if someone doesn’t know?
As the title says, some images load for half a second, then turn into a white “broken image” icon. If you then tell connect to “open external” it opens the image in a web browser, and that works just fine....
I think I might cancel. I’m not watching ads and I’m not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don’t know if I’d end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though…...
Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?
I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
It’s seriously infuriating, the catalog they have at their disposal and they just rerun TTG, a show that at the time caused TT fans to be legitimately upset. No one wanted TTG.
With the return of Mel and the mention of Sabalom Glitz, I decided to go back and watch Trial of a Time Lord. I marathoned all 14 episodes with fairly fresh eyes, I had not watched it in well over a decade. Each story is honestly super well put together, and the stories themselves are pretty interesting sci-fi on their own standing. The way the trial is woven into the stories, the edits, the way characters act “out of character” when in parts that had been manipulated within the Time Lord Matrix, feels well ahead of its time for 1986 television. also, it feels like a waste to have The Valeyard pop up and not be dead at the end, and then we never see him again. Like, that was a huge reveal. The Valeyard is actually The Doctor, but only his dark side, and is looking to eliminate his virtuous half. That honestly sounds like something straight out of modern Dr. Who. I’d always hoped we would see more of him.
I had heard that this season was not well liked, and that Colin Baker was partially to blame for being not very popular as The Doctor… But I dunno. This season feels like an amazing season. I think it’s a shame Baker didn’t get one more season as was originally planned.
Lol I know! Man. In the 80’s, we had VHS copies my aunt had taped off late night PBS and our recording of Time and The Rani started late, with the Rani entering the TARDIS and we didn’t see the crash. I distinctly remember being VERY confused! But now it all makes sense! Carrot juice! Damn it, Mel!
So I just jumped ahead today and watched Dragonfire, and wow, I forgot how sudden Mel’s decision to leave with Glitz was. So hard headed! She did not want to be second fiddle to the Doc or anyone. You could call it rushed writing, but it somehow enhances her character a lot now with the context of what she said in The Giggle.
I hope we see a lot more of her and UNIT in the next season.
Looping back, I just had a thought… Doesn’t the existence of “Bi-generation” where a Time Lord can split into two entities create a strong case for the origin of The Valeyard? What if Doc 10 bi-generates again, and out comes The Valeyard? He was described as “somewhere between your 12th and final incarnation” back when 13 was the natural number of lives. With The War Doctor, we knew Tennant to actually be 11, but then he also did a weird half regeneration thing as well, didn’t he? That would put his number at 12. And now he is back. Primed to perhaps become The Valeyard as some part of him inside becomes dissatisfied with the domestic life he’s now chosen.
As much weird timeline bending as they’ve done, Bi-generation could possibly explain a lot. Remember when 2 met with the Brigadier in The Five Doctors? He clearly knew all about 3 and was talking shit about how he “was not too pleased with his replacement” as if he had already regenerated yet also somehow kept living as 2 for a bit. “I’m not exactly breaking the laws of time, but I am bending them a bit.”
Plastic seals food, sterile medical implements, medicine, beverages, etc… it’s seems like plastic is used as a way to seal things safely. Post pandemic rising, I see even more. My work used to be have plastic utensils in the cafeteria, for example, an already wasteful thing. Now, post-2020, every fork, knife, and spoon is...
Or just sit and relax. I feel like people have lost this during my lifetime. Ive never lost the ability to just take a deep breath, lean back, and enjoy some quiet. I mean, if I was WANTING to watch a movie or something, there would be disappointment, but if the reason I can’t is beyond my control, it’s a waste of time to dwell on it and be upset. Right?

Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?
