There’s an interesting You’re Wrong About segment about it

James Corden

so, I admit, that was my theory, and the facts don’t really support it; and I think where I went wrong there was I just assumed that they had some sort of coherent and defensible plan, at least in private, but I guess I am learning that the Starmer administration doesn’t actually do those

Very much worried I wasn’t going to accomplish anything today but then I took this picture

📢 THE LYRICS SHOULD EXPLAIN THE SHOW’S PREMISE AND INTRODUCE THE MAIN CHARACTERS

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
It doesn't help when a big reactor
Gets a bit too hot
Wouldn't you like to get away

Clara sometimes asks me if I dream. 'Course I dream, I tell her. Everybody dreams. But what do you dream about, she'll ask. The same thing everybody dreams about, I tell her. Donald Trump being kicked to bits by horses. She always laughs at that.

hey, books should not just be sold, they should be experienced, compadre

The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!!

Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on!

I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT

We know it can be beamed from place to place! It’s basically the same machine as a replicator!

I would like to see that talk! Mind you if you’ve got barter it’s about five minutes before you’ve got money again

When Julian’s dad shows up and everyone is grumpy with him for being an entrepreneur whose schemes never pan out, how does any of that make sense when there’s no money?

like, does he trade meals for catfish? If he is a restaurateur for fun rather than out of economic necessity are the fishing people also doing it as a hobby? How do Julian and Miles pay for drinks and holosuite time at Quark’s?

They should stop trying to make Star Trek adventure series and instead cater v narrowly to me by making a ten part faux documentary series about how the federation’s economy works. I want a deep dive into eg does Ben Sisko’s dad pay for ingredients at the restaurant he runs, how they are sourced etc

Yeah! ‘Hard graft’ is a cliche over here. The corruption sense is relatively uncommon.

Interesting!

the adjective is from bile, which metaphorically means invective or hatred? ‘Spitting bile’ etc. So it sits with choleric, phlegmatic, melancholy etc. This usage might just be UK I dunno!

Bilious in a blurb usually means ‘enjoyably mean-spirited’

Yay!

I know someone who looked *uncannily* like him until she transitioned

“Oh no, how will the kids find out what some rancid TERF thinks??!?” Open any newspaper, I guess? But this emergency apparently requires reorienting the experience of university around shock and offence for some reason. Fuck off! Leave the kids alone!

They’ve constructed this entire edifice of what education should supposedly look like, with a regulator and fucking financial penalties, purely to coddle a few bigots. Whose views are not remotely hard to encounter in everyday life, because they are so fucking noisy and also *the establishment*

Being shocked and offended is *not* ‘part of the process of education’. It is *not* actually essential to learning that you be shocked and offended. The reason this meme exists on the culture war right is because students won’t put up with transphobia on campus. That’s literally the whole thing.

Be ready to be shocked and offended at university, students told Guidance has been published by the Office for Students on new free speech rules coming into force this year.

be ready to fuck off!!! Sorry, I’m going to rant about this for a minute

like, rhetorically, why are we still doing this bullshit

The infuriating thing about the Office For Students is that it isn’t in any sense for students, it’s about punishing students for not liking Toby Young

LOL
