I’m listening to the live stream of this and in keeping with his usual weirdness, RFK keeps grunting into the mic while others are speaking like he’s wanking under the desk.
I am going to put together a thread covering RFK Jr's confirmation hearing for the HHS secretary job. Follow along for clips and commentary.

Watched The War Games Colourisation with my 6 year old and he followed what was happening and sat and watched from start to finish, which shows that it’s doing what it’s intended for really. That we got to the end and he demanded that I make him a Troughton costume is a pretty good review I’d say.

A happy Doctor Who day to all of you at home. It’s been something of a constant through my life and is some of my earliest memories, despite it being off air at the time. But one of the best things about it has been being able to share that with my little boy and see the next generation of fans.

Thinking back to last Father’s Day, when my son decided to wake me by running into the bedroom, pushing his tablet under my nose, and ominously shouting ‘DADDY, I CALL THIS GOD IS DEAD’.

Absolute chaos at points at LFCC today, but worth it to get Felix a photo in his Fifteenth Doctor costume with Ncuti And Millie. Pretty big deal for a 6 year old fan and lovely to see him so excited. ❤️❤️

Fantastic night at the Albert Hall for the Doctor Who Prom. Saw a few faces but didn’t get a chance to say hello. However there was one man that Felix had been hoping to meet, so was delighted he could get a photo with RTD.

Update on this afternoon’s video call chaos: it resulted in our Who obsessed son getting a video sent through for him, and seeing Tom waving and then Felix getting starstruck and instinctively waving back was heart meltingly cute.

I’m out at lunch and behind me are a group of people saying they think they were victims of the Horizon scandal as their ‘household bills never seemed to add up’. It’s like the twats that say ‘well I think I caught Covid in October 2019 as I had a bad cold’.
Jesus wept… 🤦♂️

When I’m in the office, I find a flurry of incoming personal speakerphone video calls anxiety inducing at the best of times. But I have to hand it to my Mum, she really found a way to up the ante today.
