When you need to pad out the story arc for another season.

Hey! Stop misgendering Tiresias, Wiki. That isn't cool.

YouTube recommended a video about transphobia on the Zeus Network (no, me neither), but the headline was ZEUS HATES TRANS PEOPLE. That explains what Hera did to Tiresias, she was just trying to piss off her husband.

Yeah, yeah, I know. You've got to look something up, you'll be right back.

He was Mycroft? [Checks Google Images.] There are genuinely fat actors who would've been far better suited to the role. That's... fatface.

And he knows a thing or two about terrible narratives.

A YouTuber I follow has just said that they're going to read out their favourite comments at the end of the next video, and if there's one thing guaranteed to stop me leaving a comment...

I DON'T LEAVE YOUTUBE COMMENTS BECAUSE I WANT ATTENTION, DAMN YOU. I DO IT BECAUSE I NEED A VOID TO SHOUT INTO.

Still think they're missing a trick here.

Oh, I'm sorry. I meant, ich wette er sagte "Nachkommen".

I bet he said "descendants".

Scientists Finally Reveal What Almost Wiped Out Humanity 900,000 Years Ago YouTube video by The Human Record

Amazing moment in this video on human near-extinction. (Wait for it...)

This makes it sound as if the dictatorships are gay with each other.

Phil Oakey being on #totp 1999 and the Human League being on 1983 is like watching "Amadeus". We start with the framing sequence of the decrepit old man that nobody listens to, then we go into flashback for the main part of the story.

Also he claims to have killed Martyn Ware.

"Balamos" should have a Wurzels cover version called "Barleymow". #totp

(Also, I'll go to my grave insisting that theology isn't a serious discipline. Extended theories about notional phenomena are what we call "fan-fic", and anyone who thinks the Problem of Evil is hard should try formulating a historical timeline of the Cybermen.)

Nerddom will always be astonished by supposed Christians not knowing anything about Christianity and yet getting away with it. Imagine someone standing up at a #DoctorWho convention and saying their favourite story is "Revenge of the Daleks". Our kind have more rigour than any of these lightweights.

Top marks to Wikipedia for playing along with this nonsense.

Quantum theory means that if you're at a bus stop and go up the road a bit to see whether the bus is coming, it'll actually come sooner.

And EVERYTHING SHOULD HAVE A PHYSICAL ON-OFF BUTTON THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE A SOFTWARE SHUTDOWN except possibly nuclear reactors.

(I didn't want to argue about it, but what bothers me about the original tweet is the suggestion that children *don't* role-play like this. My Star Wars guys were always having moral arguments. Admittedly most of them along the lines of "well, Doctor Who doesn't need to carry a gun".)

Yeah, back in my day we didn't have action figures of moral relativists. We had proper characters like "Guy Who's Just Having a Quiet Drink in the Pub" and "Lounge Musician".

The Artemis II crew called a crater on the far side of the moon "Integrity", which means NASA has set a new record for the furthest into space that anyone has thrown shade.

Observing new features on the moon, the Artemis crew began suggesting names, with the commander asking control if a crater could be named after his late wife. Imagine being the next guy on the mike, though. "And I'd like to call *my* crater... erm..." [Looks at notes, hurriedly scrubs out "Naruto".]

This psittacosaurus has the voice of Alan Bennett. #DinoFacts

Yeah, the whole "reptilians" thing is true: aliens scooped out the insides of a bunch of aristocrats, including all the princes and several dukes, just so they could wear the skins and look posh.

I hate it when people put on heirs and graces.

General Woundwort addresses his Owsla.

Hold on. You know how Burma is called Myanmar now? Does that mean Burmese cats are Myanmar cats? Because "Myanmar" does sound more like something they might say. #Caturday

"Mi Chico Latino" was to "La Isla Bonita" what "Honey to the Bee" was to "Never Ever". A crime, yes, but a very specific sort of crime. #TOTP
