It's time to say goodbye to Terry Nation, as the production team turns his final script for the show into an achingly contemporary Disco Remix of the Dalek–Thal conflict which could only have happened in the last few moments of the 1970s. #DoctorWho 500yeardiary.com/s5/e11/

The idea that, after everything that's happened, a future Dem administration/DOJ would just be forced to respect blanket, preemptive pardons issued by Trump to cover up crimes, is absurd. The pardon power is not a magic spell that we are helpless to overcome.

This is right and I have been saying it forever. It makes no difference to my life if someone wants to play word games around whether I'm really a man.

How you feel that "true" gender should be classified has no bearing on the simple privacy issue that someone who lives her whole life being read as a woman intuitively by strangers should not be obligated to out herself by going into the men's bathroom.

JK Rowling’s transphobia has ruined Harry Potter. That is a shame, there was a real magic in the fantasy of it. As a kid, I always loved imagining going to private coed boarding school. Inheriting a big pile of money. Drinking non alcoholic beer. Owning a little slave guy

TERFs are disgusting bigoted pieces of trash and insufferable whiny busybodies. nobody likes them except deranged Twitterbrained racists yet they own the entire British media and law system because one petty mediocre writer has infinite money to spend on her pet obsession with kids’ private parts.

In a sleepy English village on a distant planet, a small group of robots and pachyderms are preparing to invade the Earth, but in a fun and memorable Terry Nation kind of way. #DoctorWho 500yeardiary.com/s5/e10

It wasn’t long ago that media used to say lesbians in bathrooms or changing rooms sexualised “innocent” straight women and made them uncomfortable. Such fears were weaponised politically to vilify lesbian women as sexual predators. Now we see the same comments recycled about trans women. It’s gross.

This was my first time watching All Creatures Great and Small. I learned a lot about Doctor Who from it, and I also caught passive alcoholism. Can recommend.

How a conga-line of Prime Ministers for Sydney worshiped at the altar of this deeply unappealing and obvious creep is a mystery to the rest of Australia.

It's Who at its most typical: a stranded space expedition is so beset by natives and Daleks that it can fill 4 episodes with daring sacrifices and human escapes until the generically mandatory explosion comes along to set everything to rights. #DoctorWho #DeathToTheDaleks 500yeardiary.com/s5/e8/

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

This week, Enterprise is beset once again by the Temporal Cold War, in the form of two guys who won't stop talking about the Temporal Cold War, a conflict so subtle and urgent that no one can explain what it is or why anyone should care about it. #StarTrek #Enterprise

No one wants to admit it but the first step to fixing TV is going to have to be making it 4:3 again

This week, Terry Nation tries to reclaim the glory days when Dalek stories took place on a more modest scale — full of incident and action sequences, but shot in a studio that had once hosted episodes of Morecambe and Wise. #DoctorWho #PlanetOfTheDaleks 500yeardiary.com/s5/e7

Gonna start editing episode 201 of @untitledstartrekproject.com soon, but I've just got one more thing I have to do first.

Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings remake, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:

50th anniversary of I, Claudius today. If you ever want to see how a great TV director transcends the limitations of the format, get it watched. Herbert Wise was a maestro.

This week, we rashly steal the Daleks' thing and run away, only to find ourselves pursued through time and space for 3 months, visiting Z Cars, the cricket, a volcano planet, and some of the BBC's most lavish jungle sets. @tobyhadoke.bsky.social joins us. #DoctorWho 500yeardiary.com/s5/e6

a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

Anyone seen any of the signers of the Harper’s letter speaking up about Macklemore getting cancelled from a tour cuz a billionaire didnt like one of his song intros and made a few phone calls?

Ms. Rachel: "Ed Sheeran had an opportunity…Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows." "If more than 20,000 white children were killed…everyone would be shouting…Treating some children's lives as less worthy of outrage is racist. Silence during a genocide is not neutral."

Fuck Ed Sheeran

In an isolated episode on a distant, inhospitable planet, the Daleks are fomenting an intergalactic conspiracy to overthrow the Solar System. And for arcane budgetary reasons, the Doctor isn't there to stop them. #DoctorWho 500yeardiary.com/s5/e5

The crew of Moonbase Alpha await the arrival of this week's alien threat, a threat which has no desire to kill everyone on the base — preferring instead to enslave and lobotomise them all before using them to train his latest Large Language Model. #Space1999

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.
