It’s a Hamster Book Club/Too Hot for TV crossover as we take a look at Doctor Who tie-in media’s efforts to tackle mental health. These pics probably tell you how well it goes. @docoho44.bsky.social @toohot4tv.bsky.social
Publicity photo of the cast of Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace The cover illustration from an apparently useless dictionary of devils and demons Satan as depicted in South Park Gillian Anderson in a boob tube and single sleeve pointing a toy rocket at her own open mouth. This depicts science fiction as designed for heterosexuals.

🫣 Profits are for wimps. Revenues are for losers. Ideas sell, not fundamentals

Over half the Nasdaq market is loss making. About 1-in-8 companies have no revenues

There are a lot more in these camps than in the past

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.
A post by Rebecca Johnson: “I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.” A tumblr respond from mightymur: “The final, brilliant word on passive voice. "She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive "Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

The James Bond gun thing is all *very* America brain.

An increased sensitivity to the reality of mass shootings and gun violence that translates into squeamish artistic censorship, rather than any actual legislative action to deal with the real-world problem that’s *making* them squeamish.

RIP JILLY COOPER! A queen who wrote THE most readable books in existence. People saw my thread of epic Jilly quotes and decided I was saying the books are shite. You COULDN'T be more wrong. Go and watch Rivals today.

🧵Some real Jilly Cooper quotes from her Rutshire Chronicles, the series of books that Rivals is from.

1) "Her breasts swayed like party balloons when the front door opens"

People are being very generous by saying they were probably too stupid to know they wouldn't be able to fulfil their manifesto commitment. But I think it's more likely they knew, and were happy to promise the impossible out of contempt to their voters.
