“Finding things on the internet to ‘hate read’ is a way of feeling great about yourself because you’re not as stupid and wrong as those other people.”
inspired by this, I have done a free extract of this section of the book here. it is about understanding that *with all its problems* the BBC is as important for our intellectual health as the NHS is for our physical health:

The media industry keeps talking about linear TV is dead. Well of course it will be if you keep accelerating its decline by pushing people to streaming. It's not completely dead if there are programmes people want to watch.
I love a shared cultural moment. I’m the opposite of whatever it is that makes people not want to watch something because it’s too popular. I’ve hated stuff and gone back to it because I so crave having a moment to share with the world around me. Not just friends, but… everyone. Live Tv is special.

I've just been reminded that 59 years ago today the first episode of The Power of the Daleks was transmitted. So here's a repost of some of my renders from that story. It's one of my favourites! Shame we can't watch it. Rendered in #Blender3D

I love how sometimes the telesnaps were so blurred that we saw things that weren’t there.

Yeah, that’s just a Yeti in the background.

Fantastic description of LLM scat. I thought of the eponymous Robots of Death: no facial expressions, no body language. "While these robots are humanoid... they give no signals. It's rather like being surrounded by walking, talking, dead men." AI is mockery of life, like the voice of a ghost.
Apparently "'The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking)' is a triumph of clarity and curiosity, a book that proves science writing can sparkle as brightly as the stars it studies.", according to some unholy amalgamation of strangled undead text prompts. So heartwarming.

Have been doing #DoctorWho Evil of the Daleks research. The Emperor Dalek appears in film sequences at Ealing for shots of the Dalek Civil War. There are tons of gorgeous phtographs from this shoot. Note the triangular bars above the Emperor and the two tubes attached at his lowest level. 1/
