basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Patriarchal society hates Jughead for his refusal to play into the norms of status seeking and male posturing; blithely unconcerned with sports or the fleeting pleasures of love, he cares only for the satisfaction of his barbarous palate, and the normies cannot stand it

Yep, Doctor Who is exactly where Star Trek was when Enterprise got canceled - the current creative regime is tapped out, and this version of the show has just been around so long that everybody is taking it for granted, especially since it has nothing new to really do or say.
I think the show badly needs a refresh behind the scenes. Davies and his collaborators have been major players on it since 2005, and for a show about regular renewal it just kind of makes it stagnant. (And maybe get some consistent season schedules going again too while you're at it)
Doctor Who lives on! But who will be the new Time Lord – and is it goodbye to Russell T Davies?

Part of what's destroyed any momentum for the show has been the *constant* long breaks. It built itself with consistent yearly seasons for almost ten years, and then the following ten years has just been "Oh, y'know, whenever."
Then nobody knows when the damn thing is on or even that it came out.

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

The way Dems treat Mamdani versus Platner... hm
"Not one senator said Platner’s tattoo or other controversies were disqualifying, and several acknowledged he’s bringing excitement to a party that has been struggling in the political wilderness since President Donald Trump took back power in January."
