Decades of mechanistic talk about university degrees as if they were bundles of 'skills' and 'prep' are about to be proved completely wrong (obviously). Want to get a real boost? Do History or English.

Following 13’s surprise appearance in The Reality War, I have been rewatching all of Jodie’s stories and, honestly, they’re brilliant. Exactly what Doctor Who should be. The Doctor and her mates running around the universe, having fun adventures together.

And it looks incredible.

Like, have people not been paying attention? Bringing back a big bad from the series’ history has always been RTD’s modus operandi for his season finales.

Series 1: The Daleks
Series 2: Daleks vs Cybermen
Series 3: The Master
Series 4: Davros
Specials: The Time Lords
Season 1: Sutekh

Just out of interest, are there any Time Lords that *didn’t* survive the multiple destructions of Gallifrey? #doctorwho

This strip might be my favorite Schroeder bit. Presses the right buttons of music collecting and classical appreciation

Word of the day is ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work.

I like to add ‘foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.

Whenever someone suggests that “They should teach (x) in school,” they should be forced by law to outline what they would remove from the curriculum to make space for it, and explain why.

I’m watching Blitz on Apple TV, and for the last half hour I’ve been trying to place one of the actors, thinking, “He looks a lot like Paul Weller, but I can’t place him at all. I wonder what I’ve seen him in before?”

I’ve just looked him up. Guess what: www.imdb.com/title/tt1593...

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Sitting in a German class, aged 14, when the door burst open, one of the Art teachers ran in and exclaimed, “She’s gone!”

And, without further explanation, everybody in the room knew exactly what she meant. And, being the west of Scotland, cheered.
Good morning all ! Do you remember where you were 34 years ago today? A momentous occasion… wishing you all a good weekend.
