RIP Tom Stoppard who did so much incredible work, not least writing every single line of dialogue in Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade.

Seeing a few wildly incorrect opinions about Heaven Sent on my TL today, so here's a very good summation of why it's one of the best #DoctorWho stories ever made, thank you @racheltalalay.com.

10 Years Ago, The Oldest Sci-Fi Show Delivered One Of The Best TV Episodes Ever — And No One Noticed
"Heaven Sent" is not just 'Doctor Who's best episode, it's one of the greatest hours of TV ever. So why isn't it considered such?

My main takeaway from Christmas Karma is that Gary Barlow should be arrested. He could write "God bless us everyone" but Dickens couldn't write "see the boy inside the man and you will find the Christmas in his soul." Because he was a good writer.

Here's a note I sent to our members about what we did with their money, and why we expect the Onion to outgrow the Washington Post.
We keep doing weird, hard shit — taunting ICE, yelling at Congress for not taunting ICE, buying bad websites — when nobody else does.
Our members keep getting papers.

The problem with that Whamageddon thing is that Last Christmas is a stone cold banger and trying to avoid it proves that you don't truly understand the meaning of the season, to celebrate our Lord and Savior, Saint George Michael.

Taxes are pretty much the only thing related to personal/family finance they do this little "what if that made someone's life difficult" dance for.
Benefits cut to the bone? Not interested
Wages eroded by inflation for decades and decades? Nope.
Technology abolished your job? Nope.

This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

Do we or do we not live in a country where these awful people got their way at almost every major decision point of the century so far? We do! Is it good? No, it is a national calamity. Are they sorry? No they’re not, they’re *absolutely furious* that they haven’t got more and worse.

Today is the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Mahna Mahna on Sesame Street. You’re familiar with it by now, of course, but... well, it never hurts to be reminded, does it?

Just out of Wake Up Dead Man. Loved it. Felt a lot more like Knives Out 1, but also unique and surprising in its own way.
Kept me guessing right until the end, which is all I want from a good whodunnit.

This afternoon's film: Wake Up Dead Man, on the big screen! Lapsed Catholic movie fans everywhere are gonna call this their film of the year (Pope Leo will dig it too) and I'm not far off either. I like Glass Onion but this is totally the other way - still funny, not as goofy, still fiendishly good.

If there's one thing that Starmer and his allies are getting right, it's that getting rid of the prime minister and then foisting Streeting into Number Ten without even a leadership election, let alone a general election, would be seen by the general public as a grotesque insult.
