Algorithmic social media just ruins everything. Once twitter and facebook started pulling out all the stops to keep us on their sites instead of letting us use them as a starting point to connect and/or simply augment our existing irl relationships.

I think a lot of the attitude I saw on mastodon about this like a year ago was one of suspicion that they wanted an open network but didn’t use the fediverse standard

that SNW clip didn’t rub me the right way. This video gets into why…

depending on jurisdiction they can’t just arbitrarily raise rates

This goes so hard I love it

Plenty of US shows go live on streamers at midnight for one of the coasts, seems like they’re just treating Doctor Who the same but for the UK?

I mean, they shouldn’t be bricking each other’s computers, then they can’t continue to learn with them

I suspect it will be still family viewing, just a little dark for some young kids to watch solo maybe

That’s literally what I thought and still kinda think even after his comments

Yeah I think a lot of Chibnals detractors are in for a rude awakening. Sure, you can say it wasn’t woke for RTD1 but that’s nostalgia considering he:

• parodied Tony Blair with John Simms master
• created an out and proud pansexual in Harkness
• portrayed the Doctor as ambiguous sexually, accepting advances from Jack and Lynda (?) In parting of ways
• the slitheen two-parter being commentary on the war on terror and false claims of WMDs

I think that in the time since 2010, RTDs writing experience and the general increase in right wing radicalisation since 2015 are combining to create these decisions like able bodied Davros or 14 regenerating clothes

It wouldn’t be so bad if classic who was consistently paced. The black and white episodes had some real bangers that I was engaged for the fill 22 minutes, but a lot were just slogs.

In principle I do believe a good story can carry anything - visuals are secondary in a compelling plot.

VPN for now sadly. Torrent sites might have it at some point but not yet last I checked.

I started this summer, and I’ve made it to the Pertwee era last week.

Unless she trespassed there’s nothing illegal. I don’t think she shared a specific address. It IS (was?) against the YT TOS but they only care about what makes returns for Google’s shareholders.

Twitter too now

Gatekeeping the Fediverse? Cringe

None of the books being banned are pornographic. Don’t fucking lie to advance your cause of genocide

I wish I could say this was me but there’s been a couple of times thst I’ve been knocked on my ass by something, but every test I’ve taken came up negative

Just gals being pals
