If you want to read and listen to reviews of old anime - and I mean really old - then #DouglasWatchesEveryAnime is starting in January.

Once that's up and running, I'll be reviewing music as #LookDadOldTunes, at a site to be determined.

And we begin "Earthshock" , DOCTOR WHO, season 29. And my aunt doesn't know.

so, this right here? this is one of the absolutely most lawless, brazenly unconstitutional impeachable offenses ever committed by any president other than trump in the history of our country.

like, this is an open and shut case. and it's a case which targeted *republicans.*
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

Aww. My favourite piece of his was so good, I convinced myself it was a Noel Coward original. "Why Can't We Cancel Christmas" is sublime, and here it is.

I see racists are doing "did you know X% of kids in this city don't have English as a first language!?" shit again.

BILINGUAL. The word you're after is 'bilingual'. Most children who 'don't have English as a first language' have two languages. Sometimes more! Why do you hate this? It's beautiful!

Watching "Black Orchid", DOCTOR WHO, Season 19. It's weird specifically because it's so small and grounded. The relative lack of weirdness, in this context, makes it _really_ weird.

I know exactly what I want my wordpress site to look like. It's so clear in my head. But I can't push through the choices about hosting that I need to make.

Farage was not only not expelled from Dulwich College, he was made a prefect
And none of that gets to the really cool question: what does it say about our "elite" if someone can be a Nazi in school and a: not be expelled b: actually go on to have considerable influence despite knowledge of said person having been a proper nazi since school

It's just a word for a semi-perment Central Asian tent and there's nothing funny about the actual thing, but the word tickles my brain whenever I see it. Now I have it out of my system.

Not enough prominent people are calling this out and too many politicians and journalists in the mainstream media keep doing this.

Refugee = not illegal immigrant
Refugee = not criminal
Refugee = person fleeing persecution or conflict

This is a matter of law, not opinion.
The conflation of "foreign criminals" and "illegal migrants" is disgusting.

Vile when some people don't have a safe route to flee from the utter detestation & brutality of war.

It's all grim enough without the Labour Government pushing further misinformation.
