the problem with the MCU is that the multiverse era has left it devoid of stakes. characters — dead or alive —can return at any time so why should anyone care

Everything wrong with our politics, in one story:
Hedge fund manager buys large estate on Dartmoor.
Uses vast fortune to challenge the right to camp there. Wins.
Local people call on their MP to amend the legislation.
Discover he's been funded by the hedge fund manager.

[Lewis Rampton @RamptonLewis]

On October 30th, a man threw petrol bombs at an immigration centre in Dover, injuring two. Minutes later he killed himself.

Three days on, the attack has been largely forgotten.

But it's worth taking a closer look at what he posted online, and what it says about radicalisation:

I'm signposting @Refugees, @MalalaFund, @RESCUEorg, @UNICEF, @ShelterBox to see the global impact and how to help

I have cried, laughed, felt guilty, and hopeful while reading this. I swim in the sea and have a lot of happy memories; how much of that water comes from the tears of those making impossible choices? This book has changed me, particularly Jennifer's story, please read it too [2]

Why are they so determined to be evil that they'd consider leaving the ECHR? What the fuck goes through someone's head to turn in the face of basic human rights? It's an unethical policy that's just a distraction from the real problems. They want to start a fight. Just be kind.

I really hope Bernard Cribbins is able to return, he's 93, 94 by the time the 60th airs so anything he's able to do would be amazing. Wilf is the icon of peak RTD

Imagine his reaction to seeing multiple Doctors in the same room!

Three years ago today, Doctor Who aired a Remembrance Day story: Demons of the Punjab, where aliens who try to remember the forgotten visit the aftermath of the British Empire—the soldiers, wars, and borders forgotten in more jingoistic Remembrance Day narratives.
