Happy #DoctorWhoDay !
" When they made this particular hero , they didn't give him a gun , they gave him a screwdriver to fix things . They didn't give him a tank or a warship or an x-wing fighter , they gave him a call box from which you can call for help . And the didn't give him a superpower or pointy ears or a heat ray , they gave him an extra heart . They gave him two hearts . And that's an extraordinary thing ; there will never come a time when we don't need a hero like the doctor . " - Steven Moffat

A thousand times yes! Much less hopeless. My stroll through Times Square with 100,000 friends.
Crowd of people holding protest signs in the street near Times Square. Protestor wearing Cookie Monster inflatable costume with a sign that reads "Tyrant stole my funding, will work 4 cookies" standing next to another protestor dressed as Oscar the Grouch with a sign that reads "FASCISM STINKS and I know trash!" Protest sign reading "DUE PROCESS causing tantrums for tyrants since 1215 (medievalists against Trump)"

It was so great, and the setting was surprisingly idyllic for (checks notes) Alphabet City!
A fairy lush garden, some pink flowers and a fountain that looks like a water pump and a wooden bucket in the foreground, a klezmer band a bit in the distance.

Maybe he was just trying to blow the fire out....
Great Bluesky timeline juxtaposition, with top post reading "Upper East Side Man Arrested After Trying to Kiss Stranger's Feet" and lower post reading the Trump administration's latest and wildest legal stunt, this time suing all of the judges in Maryland federal district court because they're holding the government's feet to the fire."
