I wonder safe how the world would be if we replaced Limited Liability for corporate shareholders and effective immunity for corporate boards and executives with "An Eye For An Eye"?

The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere increased by a record amount last year, says @wmo-global.bsky.social.

The record annual rise comes amid growing signs that forests, peatlands, oceans and other natural "sinks" are failing to absorb as much CO2 as they normally do.

Moffat has a canon explanation that had to be cut from the 50th. After Barbara and Ian returned to earth they’d lost their jobs and needed money. They sold their story to a film company who made a family friendly pair of movies about it.

The reason the Doctor keeps fighting for the universe is because Ian stopped him killing the unconscious Za in An Unearthly Child. The Doctor realised that a primitive like Ian had a stronger moral compas than he did, abs was ashamed. It's also why the Dictor feels such an affinity for Earth.

Expecting character development for the Doctor is daft. That's not what he's for, it's what the companions are for. Also, the Doctor and the companions should be as weird and alien as possible. Because if drama should "teach", that teaches EVERYONE to care about people that are nothing like them.

Tell me your most unhinged Doctor Who opinion. I mean, if you’re a fan, they’re likely all unhinged anyway.

Alastair Beckett King mentioned this in his sketch but it does annoy me and makes for a boring show.
- “We can go anywhere in time and space”
- “Present day London please”

I want a return to classic Doctor Who where nobody had time to fall in love with The Doctor because they're busy being pissed off about being kidnapped and having to run away from EVERYONE and EVERYTHING because they're all trying to murder them in a multitude of inventively ghastly ways.

Peter Capaldi should show up in every new season. Not as the Doctor. Always as a different supporting character who ends up meeting an untimely demise at alien hands.

As Missy said, we’re pets to them. It should never be romantic or physical. Then retconning Sarah’s relationship as romantic just demeaned her to a pining girlie.

I don't know if this is an unhinged opinion in itself but the way fans seem to have collectively decided that the entire second RTD era had absolutely no merit at all just because the finale was dreadful strikes me as somewhat unhinged.

Clara Oswald and the Impossible Girl plotline was worse than anything Chibnall did.

People who say Tennant was their favourite Doctor don't actually like Doctor Who, they just like David Tennant.

Martha > Rose. Rose's best quality was her mother (and the fact that Billie Piper is amazing).

It is quite ridiculous that when the whole premise of the show is that history can be changed, the fans are so mad keen on consistent lore and canon

i will buy norfolk southern and run it at 120% operating ratio for the public benefit until the wizard runs out of money

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

I would simply buy a bunch of nuclear submarines from the United States on behalf of the Australian Navy.

It is laughable to think that you can neuter the far right with minor tweaks like this.

How many Conservative or Reform supporters even know that immigrants have to pass a language test? They object to immigration on emotional grounds, not because they have dry objections to eligibility criteria.
To ensure graduates contribute effectively to the economy, the maximum post-study stay will be reduced to 18 months from the current 2 years for most from 1 January 2027. It comes after data clearly showed that many holders had not transitioned into graduate-level employment as intended.
Finance requirements for student visas will also be increased for the 2025 to 2026 academic year, meaning foreign students will have to demonstrate they have sufficient funds to support themselves.
