saw a Peter Capaldi action figure for sale on Amazon and was immediately flooded with a wave of 2015 nostalgia. the excellent Dr Who Series 9 is on air. The Chainsmokers are playing in the background. I'm supposed to be working on uni work but am writing fanfic whilst sipping a latte. Aughhhh

they should make a game called "Cyberpunk 1537" where it's entirely accurate 16th century gameplay because the Cyberpunk timeline doesn't diverge till the 20th Century

In her life, Marilyn Monroe was exploited and abused by so many men.
Studio executives, so many people.
After she died, men continued to exploit her for their pleasure: trying to get themselves buried near/above her.
What your writer did here is obscene, nonconsensual and makes me feel slightly ill

society has evolved past the need to blame Anne Boleyn for everything (so much of what we know about her comes from fickle Henry and his desire to rewrite relationship history to justify how he treated her)

The photography in this article really feels like The Times are deliberately setting these people up for ridicule. (You can read it without visiting The Times here archive.ph/KZZC1)

was going to crack a joke about "wow how much further in life would I be if I pursued my childhood history fixation instead of getting stuck on Dr Who" and then I remembered I do in fact have an entire degree in the field

guy in a city near me dresses up like Spider-Man, has gotten in the news for saving people from falls, etc., is now posting on Tik-Tok saying he's 'apolitical', and offering photo ops with fans. it feels like a peek into a world where Uncle Ben never died

we used to have real pretenders to the throne, enthusiastic guys willing to die for the lie that they should be wearing the crown. these days they just start a podcast and push pyramid schemes
