No please, UCP, keep fighting in public about liquor prices and noise bylaws at the Calgary Stampede instead.

Some news!

TARDIS Vol 1/11 from Oct/Nov 1976 (when The Face of Evil was in studio), published this, hinting that the new companion was going to be played by Emily Richard - a name that never appears in the lists of people they saw for the role of Leela. I wonder where they got that idea from?

I try not to do this when Erika is watching her stories. I’m not always successful.

I would dearly love owning Criterion versions of 2001 and A Clockwork Orange but I am not dropping $500 USD to own the whole Kubrick collection which would also include my third Criterion Barry Lyndon https://www.criterion.com/boxsets/9000-the-complete-kubrick

Missi.

Disney+ is down right now. I am once again asking for an Andor S2 4K physical media release.

Why don’t they build the whole plane out of Canada 5, Qatar 0.

Never got one replay and never saw the incident in the first place so I have no idea what just happened. #thesoccer

Not often you stumble upon two titans of Doctor Who infamy in one Granada production from 1973

Why yes I am suffering from Doctor Who news and hockey withdrawal, thank you for asking

You don't know what you got until its gone. Eaton's (1869 - 1999) Hudson's Bay Company (1670 - 2025) Hockey Night In Canada (1930s - 2026) Laurentiens (1930s - 2012) Cherry Blossoms (1890s - 2025) Zeller's Restaurant (1932 - 2000s)

As we say farewell to Hockey Night in Canada on CBC, I'm reminded of the legendary way Dave Hodge said goodbye to Hockey Night in Canada.

Seeing this on a whim. Not sure I’ve seen anything else by this up and coming director but I’ll give it a shot.

Sometimes the point of soccer is to cheer for nothing to happen.

I’m just so happy Vegas lost.

Epic length podcast today and why not, given the news of the week.

I’m not even a soccer fan and I’m offended by the “hydration breaks”.

We’ve spent the last 13 hours on a Friday day and night watching scaffolding. Just think what it will be like when the big day arrives.

A lot of us are learning today how long it takes to properly put up scaffolding.

Perfect counter programming to the first Team USA World Cup game

Between the first ever World Cup game held in Canada, and men slowly setting up scaffolding to take down Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center, so far the scaffolders are winning my attention https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAhm880quUg

Today would be a funny day for Disney to announce the release date for The War Between The Land and The Sea.

My boring take, from other people’s experiences and my own: Doctor Who is a ferociously difficult, near-inhumane show to produce. Brutal for every department, but particularly for one person to hold at the top as it is. If they want the best range of pitches, the production model needs rethinking

I love malls. They have everything, including a bit of exercise. I just bought two vastly different things from stores three minutes walk from each other. Why are we abandoning malls? Malls.
