What if Doctor Who doesn’t live in the TARDIS, but instead in a skyscraper in Madison Avenue. Swap the sonic out for a cigarette case and a tumbler of whisky, and a companion with a series of affairs who represent his various flaws and the changing culture of mid-60s americana
can’t lie when dr who comes back it needs to be weird and gross and 18 plus; not because of horror but I need it to be weirdly erotic and everyone is smoking all the time
maybe it explores the changing attitudes of the early 60s through to the 70s through the lens of New York advertising culture, exploring sex, drug use, alcoholism, misogyny, and the attempt of balancing one’s past with the reality they’ve created for themselves
it’s always been horrible. I sat there in 2013 with the biggest nerds god had ever know watching the newest Matt Smith episodes and turning to each other at the end like “what the fuck was that”. Doctor Who had always been dogshit and has always deserved death
a lot of dr who revisionism here but I was there during Capaldi’s first season and the general zeitgeist was that it was the biggest pile of shit that had ever been made

the amount of backrooms art I'm seeing is incredible but specifically the art of the yellow office spaces being entered in different time periods by different cultures in those art styles is haunting in a different way, like these feel so REAL
thread of this art i find 🧵1/?
I don’t buy Peter from family guy as a guy who likes beer. Homer yes, Bender yes, but Peters proclivity for drinking seems to stem from the archetype rather than the character. It feels unauthentic, unearned
don't know who needs to hear this, but start living. the days are flying by, and all you do is work, pay bills, and stress. enjoy what you can - walks, sunsets, music, laughter and nature. joy doesn't have to be expensive. you deserve it.
I don't know what to say about this moment in Mad Men. It's about processing loss. It's about the moon landing. It's about bygones. It's about Draper's fractured mental state. Where do you even begin talking about everything going on here? The layers are endless.
