Nah.
The more I've thought about the last two seasons of Doctor Who (this last finale especially), and the era before them also, the more frustrated & annoyed I've become (down to writing & showrunning, not the actors), left wondering why I even loved the show in the first place. #DoctorWho /1

This was an important moment on Collision, made all the better by what a big deal it wasn't. 🏳️‍🌈 #wrestlesky

No state elections in RI, no elections in my town. I've got real voter envy over here. Go and do some democracy in your areas if you can, my invincible internet super pals.

After meaning to for years I finally read Lungbarrow. People always talk about it in terms of #DoctorWho canonicity & whether or not to delve into Doctor's origins, but I think they all miss the main point: going home to spend holidays with the family is horrible and awkward for EVERYONE.

Wearing new sneakers today and not one person has asked me "Can you run real fast now?," "can you jump higher now?," or, because they're New Balance, "Sir, are you okay? Do you need assistance?"

"Can you believ..."

Just gonna stop you there because yes, I can. There's no crush depth in Cruelty Ocean, no summit to Mt. Insanity. None of it surprises me, and hasn't for a long time now.

I've already seen people online saying "Well, actually, NBC considered this date to be Star Trek's special sneak preview airing and the real premiere was September the WhoTheHellCaresth" and Jesus Howard Tap Dancing Christ, no one ever needs to be *that* guy.

(And it's always a guy.)

Chicago is maybe my favorite city in these United(?) States. Hope the people there stay safe. And also that they give the bastards hell.

Politician who actively helped it all happen, is nearing the end of his life, and starts feeling the flames of hell singeing his ass says what?
I don’t think a headline has ever epitomized “too little, too late” as much as this one.
