I learned about Watson and Crick and DNA in the 9th grade...But I learned about the double helix first from "Doctor Who", and "Kinda". apnews.com/article/jame...

At this rate by the end of 2026 The Onion will be the most factual media platform on the planet LOL

As you can tell from my bio, this is a science fiction page. My baseball fandom has gone from 90 to 2 in recent years, as the sport is more than ever a corporate billionaire/MAGA con job pulling a cash-and-dash on the fans. /1

Guys like Freddie and Ohtani and Mookie are also there because the Dodgers were the organization willing to pay workers their fair market value as opposed to most of the rest of the league working as a cartel to depress worker pay!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

It’s very strange to repeatedly see Democratic “strategists” observe that the party is widely seen as focusing on identity politics—in spite of the Harris campaign largely avoiding them —and concluding this is a problem with party priorities and not with losing voters to misinformation.

What happens when the most innocent Dr meets the most manipulative? This question perhaps makes Cold Fusion a most interesting of multi-Doctor stories. Plus we get the 7th Dr seeing Adric again, Chris hitting on Nyssa & Tegan... Really is a collision of eras! All on @thedwshow.net!

What is this horrendous place? And Olvir wasn't much help was he?! Now i'm here in my underwear! @drwhonovels.bsky.social and Dave are discussing my last story, #Terminus, on the latest episode of #AKettleandSomeString, out now: open.spotify.com/episode/3fwY... #DoctorWho

In the Iliad Nestor stands around talking about how great he used to be and all the young heroes look at him like an old decrepit broken thing and oh hey Clayton Kershaw just went .1 innings.

Important to remember that tonight will be Ohtani's first time pitching in a World Series. Not sure he can handle the bright lights of October.

Shohei Ohtani is superhuman. I am not. Went to bed after the 14th inning (sent my kid to bed after the 10th). The game went on nearly another 90 minutes after that. I have not watched this much of any World Series since 2016.

Looking at the box score because I’m too old to stay up on the east coast and seeing how many times Ohtani reached base last night.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

1/4 I have the best story about June Lockhart. Around 2003 I was working a flight from LA to New York. I was in first class and she boarded first…very sweet…a bit eccentric. As the boarding process continued she called me over and asked if another passenger in first class was actor Patrick Swayze.

It’s the 50th anniversary of the broadcast of Pyramids of Mars, part one! @hairofthehound.bsky.social, @sihart.bsky.social, @drwhonovels.bsky.social, @hannahcooper.bsky.social & @claralaherty.bsky.social discuss: Apple tinyurl.com/ycyxh9ds Podbean tinyurl.com/3kfhhd6n Spotify tinyurl.com/3kfhhd6n

In which I attempt to undertake the most spirited defense of "Terminus" ever recorded (and in which I manage to stay on topic almost 49% of the time...)

Is Trey Yesavage, whose MLB career is three games long, the least experienced pitcher ever to start Game 1 of the World Series? Not counting Brendan Fraser in the movie THE SCOUT...

This #WorldSeries pregame panel on Fox is much more fair and balanced than Fox's "news" network. A-Rod, registered Republican... Derek Jeter, registered Democratic... And David Ortiz, who's registered with no party affiliation.

OK so 2 things First: this is vandalism and you won’t convince me it’s not. This is our house. We didn’t approve this. Who is overseeing this to make sure history is preserved? Nobody. Cool. Second: This is all the proof you need that he doesn’t plan to leave office. We have to force him to. 💔🤬

Part two of my exhaustive, exhausting piece on Doctor Who and the Loch Ness Monster by Terrance Dicks, in which Doctor Who and one of his best friends strip off… 0tralala.blogspot.com/2025/10/doct... #DoctorWho

The Predator lands into the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748. Can John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, battle this extra-terrestrial warrior, while also avoiding a commercial trade embargo with Spain and recognising Prussia’s acquisition of Silesia from the Habsburg Empire?

The White House and other government entities are joining Bluesky as I type. That will bring a new group to bsky that many have not dealt w before. Don't engage, just block their asses. Give them no oxygen, starve them out. 💙✌🏻💙 They may arrive tomorrow

This is the life I have built.

Into the belly of the Fox beast. And then punching his way out with one jab after another. Respect.

Just saw A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE in NYC today (two weeks before it lands on Netflix). Will win Best Picture. Jonah Hauer-King (Conrad from the last season of Doctor Who) is incredible, he's prominently featured in the last act. Looks his his career is going to blow up, and deservedly so.

The 1963-89 series is a fundamentally different (and in almost every way superior) one to the series from the last twenty years. But also pretty much everyone else who says that is a raving fascist who hates the new show's diversity, the one unambiguous way it's better.

The best part of Harlan Ellison's Doctor Who essay is that Pinnacle Books censored one line and one line only of Harlan's submitted draft dated Nov. 1, 1978. A dig at Anita Bryant at the height of her pernicious political influence in the States.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do. …getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired. …betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator. The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

Possibly the longest Kettle episode ever! I brought a lot of notes to this one. 😄

So if Russ Vought and Bob Kennedy were deliberately trying on behalf of an enemy to sicken and kill Americans by destroying the public health structure - what would they be doing differently?

The Sons of 1977 ALCS. The Mariners and Blue Jays are expansion mates, born in 1977 as new AL clubs. Toronto wasn't part of MLB's US licensing agreement—they had their own team-labeled retail program which generated massive revenue, selling 120,000 caps in Vancouver alone (3,000 miles from Toronto)

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey. I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

Tomorrow @drwhonovels.bsky.social and I will be going to the centre of the universe and saying farewell to Nyssa for 1983's 'Terminus'! We'd love to know everyone's thoughts, and we'll read them out! 🙂 #AKettleandSomeString #DoctorWho #Terminus

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Bari Weiss becoming head of the news division at CBS does not just tarnish the legacy of Murrow and Cronkite, it tarnishes the legacy of fucking Hee Haw.

👇🎯 This is how governing works in literally every actual democracy around the world. If you don’t have the votes, it’s up to you to make concessions to the minority parties. It’s not their job to save you from your responsibility to govern by giving you things you don’t have the votes for already.
