Off and on it
![[Scene is heaven, in clouds. JESUS, acting as God’s PA, is briefing God, a big ball of light with arms sat at an executive desk, with a computer on it].
Jesus [holding a tablet computer]:
OK, so -
The next one to check in on is…
‘Earth’.
God: Spelling?
Jesus: E-A-R-T-H.
[God types into the computer]
tap-tap-tap-tap-tap. Tap.
God: F—ing hell.
What’s happened here!?
We need to complain - get me the manager.
Jesus: Uh, well, the most powerful one is…
[Jesus turns his iPad round to show God. We can’t see the screen]
God: What is that.
I mean, it’s been a while but that’s definitely not how I designed them. Are you sure we’ve got the right planet?
Jesus: Yes, this is the… top human.
God: Off and on it again
Jesus: I’ll book the meteor

Update: oven is definitely fucked. Maybe the air fryer might be a good idea after all
Aaaand the oven isn't fucked after all so no idea what knocked out the power.
Ok, most things restored but the oven is fucked. Maybe I should have joined the cult of the air fryer after all.

Five Doctor Who Moments That Live In My Head Rent-Free

So on Starfleet Academy I see they have an officer in charge of teachable moments. Presumably it's not just going to be someone doing a moral like the end of He-Man although I guess it's one reason to put the crew in danger.
