So Doctor Who lives, but not until Christmas 2026. Were I to be showrunner, here’s what I’d do:

* cast a relative unknown as the Doctor.

* ignore the Billie Piper thing. Never explain it. Just start with the new Doctor already in place, like they did with 9.

* 25min eps, multi-ep stories.
Saw @realgdt.bsky.social’s FRANKENSTEIN in a theater tonight. I’m so glad I didn’t wait for it to screen on Netflix. What a sumptuous work of art. Absolutely stunning.
Media Literacy really is fucking dead, isn’t it?
Judging by online reactions, the number of people who utterly fail to understand why HOUSE OF DYNAMITE is the way it is… is really fucking depressing.
Again, since people are still talking about the Worst Take On Star Trek:
Folks, that “Most Trekkies are Republicans” bullshit (which I’m not linking or screenshotting)? It’s from Giant Freaking Robot—a trash clickbait site. You’re being farmed.

(Disclosure: I very briefly paid the bills by working for them. It was soul-crushing.)
As a major claustrophobe, I empathize with you on the MRI panic attacks. I’d even go so far as to say that mine were perhaps the single worst part of my cancer treatment. I still have occasional nightmares.

Hang in there.

This print is amazing. Sadly, I don’t have the money…. Or the space on my walls!

He is, when all is said and done, just some tacky little shmuck from Queens.
Trump waves around renderings of his new ballroom, which appears to be entirely gold
He is, in the end, just some shmuck from Queens.

FYI :“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.”

Awaiting law enforcement.
The Nazi-tattoo and time-as-Blackwater-merc thing, on top of his Reddit shitposting, is really having me wonder if the whole Platner candidacy wasn’t an op the whole time.
At this point he’s either an actual fascist or just dumb as shit
He covered up the SS tattoo with a tattoo of Fenrir? Seriously?
See, he DOES love Don Jr. after all!

What a sad symbol of everything that has happened to this nation.
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

I’m so fucking sick of seeing people posting screen grabs from X/Twitter on BlueSky.

If we wanted to see that shit, we’d be THERE.

Knock it off.

We have to accept that the mainstream media is protecting Trump. If this were a Democrat who shared a video of him shitting on Republican protestors they’d play the video every chance they got while calling the Democrat unfit to lead the country.
as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life

and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility
The regime is so fuckng stupid that their automatic kneejerk response is to just double down on whatever the opposite thing is to what their enemies are saying.

Millions of Americans say “no kings,” so Trump & Vance immediately respond “YES KING!”

..and it’s not going to make them MORE popular…

We’re going to have to have two levels of tribunals, one for the complicated prosecutions involving violent crimes, Constitutional and human rights violations, and another just to process the mass firings for the Hatch Act violations. But you need both! Nobody skips out because they’re “small fry”.
If they think this is bad wait until the tribunals for crimes against humanity.
A former ICE director says agents have been put "in a terrible position" and are being tasked with operations "in a city where they don't belong."

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.
