What a time to be alive

Hidden Truths will soon be revealed...

I might say stupid nonsense 90% of the time, but that's only so that it's really funny when I whip out specialized knowledge from the academic books and articles I read in my spare time

Bloody hell, giving extensive notes on movies like this when they're nearly finished is an inept way to work. If there's a type of movie where you really need to nail your script down before production starts, it's this. And if you make creative decisions you should stick by them.

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.

I'm serious, read it all please

Frustrating to see “Did your art have a good moral and did you convey it clearly enough that your entire audience could understand?” (a methodology previously only applied to children’s after school specials) becoming the main approach of modern internet criticism.

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

I think once I get a new computer I can actually commit to making YouTube videos again, to be honest I'm amazed the laptop I've had for over a decade has managed to last this long

CASTELLAN: No! I know nothing I tell you. If you use the probe to ask questions I can't answer you'll burn out my mind. BORUSA Take him away CASTELLAN: No ... no! STRUGGLING WILDLY THE CASTELLAN IS DRAGGED OUT BY TWO BURLY GUARDS ALL THIS TIME THE [BAKER] DOCTOR HAS BEEN SITTING MOTIONLESS XXXIX STUDYING BORUSA THE CASTELLAN IS DRAGGED IRON THE ROOM, AND SUDDENLY THEIR IS AN OUTBREAK OF CONFUSED

Finally the first iteration of the Castellan's 'No. Not the mind probe' line. Good job it changed - 'No! I know nothing I tell you. If you use the probe to ask questions I can't answer you'll burn out my mind' isn't quite as quotable...

TROUGHTON DOCTOR: My dear Brigadier, it's no use blaming me. I came to see you in all good faith, to wish you a happy retirement and - BRIGADIER: - and here we are! You attract trouble, Doctor, you always did. I'm supposed to be on holiday, you know - I was planning on going to Cromer. (LOOKING ROUND) And now where are we? TROUGHTON DOCTOR: Well. it isn't Cromer .. but it reminds me of somewhere all the same.

I very much enjoyed Terrance's callback to 'The Three Doctors' here with the Brig planning a post retirement holiday in Cromer..

HARTNELL DOCTOR: (GENTLY) So do you, my dear. SUSAN: I should think I do. It must be nearly twenty years since you left me on Earth. HARTNELL DOCTOR: Is it really? I was in Retirement. you see. After regeneration, the old persona spends some time in a kind of temoral cul-de-sac, a sort of limbo. Gives one a chance to fade away gently. SUSAN: And you were snatched up too, like me?

Here is first of three personal highlights from the script. I like the idea that after regeneration the Doctor's previous personas retire and spend time in a 'temporal cul-de-sac'

Title page of script reads "DOCTOR WHO" THE SIX DOCTORS by Terrance Dicks

Handwritten note - mostly unintelligible 'more danger time running out, more dangers for Doctors More dangers for Peter (?) Death zone more nasty (?) (?)

The draft copy was entitled 'The Six Doctors', and features the fourth Doctor in full. As well as the script the folder included handwritten notes by Terrance, and presumably notes from the often incompetent and unprofessional script editor Eric Saward.

Sometimes I open Twitter out of curiosity, and I can't believe how much more combative like every single tweet in my feed is

Definitely

It's 2026. Minecraft is 15 years old, GTA Is 25 years old, Sonic is 35 years old, Mario is 45 years old.

If you are still doing "What is this strange thing you call 'gaming'", you're as out of touch as someone in 90s who's never heard of rock music, or someone in the 60s who's never seen a movie

4 panel comic Panel 1: Purple Guy in sweatshirt addresses the reader. He says, “Sure, Twitter has a Nazi problem. But I’m staying to fix it” Panel 2: Purple Guy has gone full on Sitting Backwards On A Chair Mode. The chair has the X logo on it. He is wearing sunglasses and blue jeans. He is talking to some Nazis. He says “Listen Fellas, did you know that being a Nazi…” Panel 3: Close up on Purple Guy lowering his sunglasses for maximum effect. He continues “Is BAD?” Panel 4: The Nazis look flabbergasted by this revelation. They all go “WHUAAA??”

Sure, keep telling me Trans people are the problem. Keep telling me immigrants fleeing for a better life are the problem.
But I'd much prefer you tell me the truth, rich, white straight men are the problem.

I have absolutely zero patience for anyone who has hate in their heart towards someone who chooses to live their life differently than they do. Certainly not when it harms no one except those with fragile minds.

I promise i dont feel cross or upset or anything today. I just wanted to write this because it made me laugh and i thought it sums up a certain mood.

You know which group needs to be banned from social media? Those who lack basic media literacy to know when something is a jokey hot take, or something is a serious policy suggestion that has to be earnestly debunked.

When it comes to Dr. Who I prefer so-called 'performative progressivism' over quiet conservativism any day of the week

A bag of Bernard Matthews' Pokemon Lightning Bolts in a freezer. Pikachu is jumping at one of the electrically-shaped breaded treats.

I just don't think it's ethical to eat breaded Pikachu

I realise I've not really spoken much about Dr. Who since the most recent finale aired. The truth is on the whole I really enjoyed it, but also had a few criticisms, and tbh I think the internet struggles with that kind of nuance as-is even before you take into account my poor communication skills

Nice opinion on trans people, did a billionaire pedophile give it to you?
