Star Wars Popcorn Bucket Idea: the disemboweled tauntaun from the Empire Strikes Back. The tauntaun’s chest cavity would make the perfect storage for popcorn.

Out of context sentence from one of my ttrpg tables.

“I don’t know how to phrase this sentence without sounding like a heretic.”

My player accidentally accurately described the past 2,000 years of Christian theological debates.

Bloody hell, even the Bible chooses a bear over a man.

We have to consider that Dugga Doo was a member of the Doovision.

I think this needs an important addendum:

Not only did Billie Eilish donate $11.5M, she also called out a room full of billionaires, including Mark Zuckerberg, directly to their faces, saying "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but, yeah, give your money away, shorties."

The $11.5M she's donating is about 1/4 if her net worth. Imagine if a billionaire did that? If Mark Zuckerberg donated 1/4 of his net worth, it would be about $55 BILLION... and he's still have over $100 billion left.

And, yet, unsurprisingly, people are mad at Billie Eilish for what she said and not at the billionaires for hoarding all the money and resources

I've just realised why the Doctor is a practitioner of Venusian Aikido. Aikido is meant to be the least aggressive martial art, as it focuses on defending the user, and minimising harm to the opponent.

Considering how frequently Russell T Davies retcons things during his tenure as showrunner. I'm surprised I've never heard the nickname, Retcon T Davies before.

The Doctor Who: The TV Movie is absolutely wild. The Doctor, an immortal alien, who fought with gods and demons. Is killed by medical malpractice.

and they’re usually not that brilliant and careful either. 99％ of the time the police are just incompetent! Ted Bundy literally jumped out a window and escaped police custody because they weren’t watching him

A victim literally escaped Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment naked with a hole drilled in his head and unable to speak but police let Dahmer take him back to his apartment like everything was ok!

And I guess he doesn’t count as a serial killer but Eric Harris had already been making threats and harrassing students to an extreme degree before Columbine- police literally had a search warrant but they just never acted on it. If they had, they would have found the guns and pipe bombs and the shooting could have been easily prevented. They even tried to cover this up afterwards.

Serial killers and mass murders are usually not that smart, police have just historically refused to do their actual jobs.

[hooray4skeleton]

always remember that the “genius serial killer” narrative is a blatant cover for the fact that the police will always look the other way when it comes to white cis men exhibiting blatantly violent and hateful behavior

[mosscoveredcorpse]

Important to remember that people like Jeffrey dahmer targeted minorities because cops did not care about violence against them. It’s not just cops being incompetent, it’s the systematic violence, racism, classism, transphobia, and homophobia in the police system

I hate anti-vaxers now. Actively loathe them. There was a time where I had a modicum of empathy and understanding for people being distrustful of the medical establishment, even though every study has shown that vaccines are safe and effective and beneficial, I know some wounds are hard to heal. Now? If you’re seeing the people regurgitating anti-vaccine misinformation and witnessing their agendas, reading the news reports of diseases that were nearly eradicated coming back to kill children again, hearing the distress and fear from medical professionals and parents of immunocompromised children and still saying “Hmm. Fuck you.” and deciding not to vaccinate your children and yourself, there is no excuse for you. You’d like to see me dead. I’m not tiptoeing around you. You’re a horrible person and a terrible parent.

RTD2 has been Decanonised

From the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine. RTD2 has been set in an alternate universe, and not in the prime Whoniverse. This makes Disney’s Doctor Who around as canonical as the Unbound audiodramas.

Whilst, I’ll agree that RTD2 hasn’t been the best era of the show. This is shit, and Ncuti Gatwa deserved better. Being decanonised in less than 4 months after his final appearance, is honestly disgraceful.

The Interstellar Song Contest was such a tone-deaf disaster of an episode. I was half expecting the Doctor to say "Skaro has the right to defend itself."
