Perhaps Boxey the Chosen One fighting robots was going to be a future storyline, pre-empting the Prequel Trilogy.
A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny… Let’s have it!

I’d be very surprises if someone wasn’t working on at least a t-shirt design right now.
Once again, I am tapping the sign for people to go watch the two hour video by Shaun on the subject.
Good call, here is a link.
I am/was likely far too old to be in the target demographic for Pottermania but they never worked for me. They always felt a little… safe, reactionary even as they drew on a long tradition of British boarding school books without really addressing or undermining the genre tropes or even using it as a means to examine that culture. It then wasn’t a surprise to find out the author had some questionable views didn’t seem a great surprise to me.
Also, calling Tennant a “Harry Potter actor”, while true, feels like a calculated insult to a man who has played Doctor Who, The Purple Man, and Crawley.
I’m not sure it’s a “calculated insult” but it did read a but oddly (I assumed initially that it was referring to someone else). I presume the writer or their editor went with that angle because because his having appeared in the Harry Potter movies is relevant to an article and fitted the wider context of JK Rowling falling out with HP cast members. I’m not convinced it was the right approach.
I can’t as Bobby Brewster and the Winkers’ Club is clearly the superior title.
It’s an incredibly complicated issue, even if you look at individual cases (like Caster Semenya) and there’s almost no easy way to define what you mean by a woman. Ultimately it’s down to the individual sporting organisations to decide how to call it based on expert advice and any decision is going to disadvantage some athletes. If they think the decision is wrong, then there should be a way to appeal decisions because it can come down to difficult analysis based on each individual’s life history.
A compelling argument I’ve heard is that the greatest performance enhancing drug is being exposed to testosterone during puberty and that seems to be the base line a lot of the sporting organisations use. However, even then it is difficult to call for individuals and would need expert testimony on each individual case.
Ratings here refers to the viewer numbers not whether some terrible people have been review-bombing Rotten Tomatoes.
It’s my favourite era of Old Who - I went to the Doctor Who exhibition and turned a corner to see Morbius! That thing still haunts my dreams.
I was expecting a pearl-clutching hit-piece from the Telegraph but I do recognise the criticisms even if I don’t always agree with it.
The season has been a rollercoaster for me - 1st episode was abysmal, the 2nd was fantastic. Quite a few of the episodes where enjoyable whilst watching them but the more you thought about them the stupider they got (that 73 Yards one, for example). Such ups and downs are pretty much standard RTD as far as I’m concerned. The disappointment was that the Moffet episode wasn’t that great and he was usually reliable.
Seems perfect.
Brilliant!
That’s the right wing media for you. I don’t have them blocked in my newsfeed so I can see what they are up to and it is a completely different world - pretty much anything green gets hammered.
They are developing their own extremist-infused AI models, and are already experimenting with novel ways to leverage the technology, including producing blueprints for 3D weapons and recipes for making bombs.
Given thr way AI is prone to hallucinations, they should definitely have a go at building them. Might solve our problems for us.
So the idea to make people think that Nazis are using AI, might have come from a Nazi AI? 🤯
Get a chef who graduated from a renowned culinary school.
That’s what a friend of mine does - he is rarely home because the rich family that employs him want him on hand 24/7 and they pay accordingly. They get top notch food whenever they want it and are pretty safe from getting their food spat in. The Hindujas have probably ingested a lot of phlegm over the years. Should be good practice if they ever actually end up in prison.
I wanted a source that backed up what you said.
Welcome to thr Bizarro World of Tory politics. We’ve got an Environment Minister who doesn’t care that the rivers and overflowing with excrement. The Housing Minister hasn’t overseen much housebuilding. And on and on.
