@HFalconerMP Thank you for raising Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya's case. His detention is an international emergency requiring urgent, decisive action to save his life.
@AnitaAnandMP@oana_toiu One must admire the profound speed of this diplomatic concern. Surely these polite statements provide ample protection against war crimes. It is truly delightful when officials treat human lives as more than a press release. #FreeHussamAbuSafiya#SaveGazaDoctors@AnitaAnandMP
Warning: animation wonk post ahead…
In animation, camera placement/movement and much of cinematography is traditionally handled by a department called Layout. The title comes from the old Disney days when they would lay out the 2D backgrounds and the characters/props in the transition from storyboards to final shots. But in the world of CG animation, the term is confusing. The job is analogous to a live-action camera department: you’re picking lenses, designing shots in a virtual space. Many talented young tech-savvy filmmakers or cinematographers might like the opportunity to work on the camera team of an animated film and get experience telling story with camera, but don’t even know the job exists - and the term “Layout” isn’t helping: it sounds like you’re doing spreadsheets or something, not essential creative work.
Because of this, on Spider-Verse, we have changed the name to the Camera Department. I encourage other films and studios to do the same. It’s more respectful of the talented people who do this work and lets them say to their friends that they’re part of the camera team on a movie rather than the layout team, which means nothing to an outsider.
It really cannot be understated how the casting of a woman in a TV show for a couple of years (in a show where the lead changes every few years anyway) just fundamentally broke the brains of some people in the fandom.
It needs to be studied. Just pure, self-induced insanity.
But what do you think? Am I on to something? Do you think this is actually a great idea? Or am I talking utter bollocks (of course not, I'm CLEARLY a certified genius 🤣).
Let me know what you would do if it was up to you to decide how the future of Doctor Who should be planned.

Okay @bbcdoctorwho community, I discussed all this with a close friend of mine recently, and hear me out...
This is how I think the future of Whoniverse should be handled post 2026;
Ultimately, the future of the show after 2026 is still very much up in the air, and obviously a lot more would need to be done and planned to really bring the show back to what it was, but I think all this would be a step in the right direction if they went with this sort of plan
