Happy Birthday to this absolute gem of a person and, to be honest, probably the greatest actor to play the Doctor ever. Peter’s love for the show is my favourite thing in the world and I have no doubt that he was made for this role 💙

“You have to trust your gut.”
“Well, the last time I did that, it didn’t work out so well, did it?”
“We were all flying blind, Pampa.”
“Yeah, well, me more than you.”
“Only because my friend had a boyfriend with an imaginary friend who told us how to power that station down.”

If I got any gift from a crow I would keep it forever, I would affix these to the front door so they know I love and cherish them.

To the worried person in the comments:
No, a hummingbird’s heart will not stop if it stops moving. You’re possibly thinking of Spoink, which is a Pokemon that supposedly powers its heart by bouncing, and as such can’t stop moving. Hummingbirds don’t sit often because they’re busy looking for food, but they can and do sit. The females sit on eggs in nests, after all, and they do have to sleep.
Fun fact: the leg muscles of a hummingbird are so stripped down to save on weight that they cannot walk. They can step sideways along a branch or other perch, but they cannot go forward without taking flight.
However they absolutely do stop moving. In fact, hummingbirds hibernate! Overnight. Instead of sleeping. Because if they tried to sleep like a normal animal their hyperactive metabolism would mean that they starve to death before breakfast.
Unrelated fun fact: the primary Aztec god of war would take on the form of a hummingbird, and the souls of the bravest warriors were said to turn into hummingbirds in order to join him after death, presumably because every hummingbird is approximately four grams of pure concentrated asskicking which fears no man nor beast and will gladly throw down with somebody seventeen thousand times their size if offended.
this is a really cool post and i love seeing such a small bird but reading “No, a hummingbird’s heart will not stop if it stops moving. You’re possibly thinking of Spoink” killed me
Alt-rock radio mainstay KFOG 104.5 is signing off after 36 years on the air. On Monday, the San Francisco station announced it would flip to a simulcast of KNBR-AM sports radio on Friday, September 6, leaving longtime "Fogheads" with just over a week to savor the sounds of artists like Jefferson Airplane, Green Day, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Smashing Pumpkins.
“Alt-rock radio mainstay KFOG 104.5 is signing off after 36 years on the air.
On Monday, the San Francisco station announced it would flip to a simulcast of KNBR-AM sports radio on Sept. 6, leaving longtime “Fogheads” with just over a week to savor the sounds of artists like Jefferson Airplane, Green Day, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Smashing Pumpkins. A statement released by Cumulus Media explained that the expansion of KNBR would offer sports fans another place to tune into “high-profile personalities and in-depth coverage of the Bay Area’s favorite teams,” plus a stronger signal and broadcast range.“
Fuck yourselves, Cumulus. You ruin everything you touch. The station steadily declined after you bought it and tried to “improve” it. What’s next? Turning 107.7 into a simulcast of KGO?
This has set off a lot of nostalgia for me. I was a Foghead for a while, listening to music and Dr. Demento through the 1980s.
I remember Wes "Scoop" Nisker and his "If you don't like the news, go out and make some of your own," and M. Dung's silly overpronouncing of "aa-waayy," and Dave Morey's fun and instructive 10@10 show ("ten great songs from one great year," which might also include historical newsclips)...
(I've suddenly remembered M. Dung talking about narrowly escaping the Caldecott Tunnel fire in 1982, ignited by a gas tanker in an accident that killed seven people, and I don't think I was dreamimg hearing him shaken up by that. It stuck in my mind because it was a shocking event and this irrepressible guy was stunned he was alive.)
(Another parenthetical: I can't remember now if it was a KFOG DJ I heard report the death of the singer Marvin Gaye, Jr. in 1984. May have been? Gaye was shot dead by his own father, and whichever DJ I heard reporting it was almost in tears, asking how things could've got that bad for him. It was so sad hearing that.)
KFOG dumped Dr. Demento in 1992 - I didn't know they were going to do that and fell asleep during what turned out to be the last one they played. hmph. But I carried on listening for a while.
However, I wasn't listening much anymore by the time Dave Morey retired in 2008, and then 10@10 got discontinued. I know that the musical range wasn't the same as it had been. (KFOG had such good archives. Do they survive? Did/will anyone keep them, please?) I haven't listened since. I may check in during these last few days and see if they manage to play anything worth hearing...
Happy birthday to Sylvester McCoy (76) & Sophie Aldred (57)! (Please note: I happened to be on tumblr. today to reference an old post of mine. However, these days I rarely use tumblr. anymore, so if you wish to keep abreast with my current content, please do so on twitter -> LINK ) and/or on my podcast’s FB page -> LINK)

I still think that the “unpopularity” of Twelve has very little to do with the quality of the writing, and much more to do with the fact the the show continued to be different from “the one and only TRUE Doctor Who of RTD.”
Deep Breath, Into the Dalek, Listen, Time Heist, Kill the Moon, Mummy on the Orient Express, Flatline, Dark Water/Death in Heaven, Last Christmas, Face the Raven, Heaven Sent/Hell Bent, The Husbands of River Song, The Pilot, Thin Ice, Oxygen, Extremis, The Eaters of Light, World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls, at the MINIMUM, are as good or better than the list of Tennant’s best.
Sure, you could quibble over an episode here and there, but anyone who honestly believes that these episodes are flat out worse than the best Tennant episodes are simply expressing their completely subjective taste, or have a bias against Moffat.
Heaven Sent is the greatest hour of Doctor Who ever made.
Yeah, sorry, I have no idea what makes Peter Capaldi's Doctor's time the worst garbage ever, because this old DW fan didn't like RTD's reboot (though, sure, it's nice that he revived the show), and, in fact, didn't truly love DW again until Capaldi (though Matt Smith was an engaging step in the right direction for me). I think "Heaven Sent" was brilliant. And this constant fannish arguing has exhausted me to the point where I think I'm done attempting to make this post any deeper.
Peter today. (x)
