Everyone's going to remember Anthony Head for Buffy, but shout out to his one time appearance in Doctor Who as an evil alien school headmaster who a) spent 45 minutes chewing scenery, b) still went toe-to-toe with the return of Lis Sladen, and c) delivered this incredible line with a straight face

If you think a quote from a suffragist in 1889 is too “woke feminist ideology” or that Black people as soldiers or immigrants as patriots are such offensive ideas they must be erased from the public memory, your problem isn’t “woke”- it’s just other people existing in history & having rights 🗃️

Anthony Head's death has hit me like a sledgehammer. As well as playing one of my favourite characters of all time with such warmth, consideration and talent, he was such a genuinely lovely guy. My heart goes out to his daughters.

It feels quite amazing how quickly the press and politicians are worrying about our famously anti racist police , I presume next is “do the police spend too much time worrying about women at the cost of being too aggressive towards wife beaters ?”

Trump went from making genocidal threats against Iran to becoming business partners with Iran in 24 hours. The guy is loonier than a shithouse rat.
This morning, I asked President Trump if he’s okay with the Iranians charging a toll for all ships that go through the Strait of Hormuz, he told me there may be a Joint US-Iran venture to charge tolls:

“We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people.”

“It’s a beautiful thing”

I got really cynical about space travel (and other stuff). Watching Artemis II, talking about it on places like Bsky, and seeing all the joy and awe of the astronauts and the crew at NASA was the antidote. I wrote about Artemis II and looking for hope among the stars: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Amid the chaos, the Artemis II mission has been a glimmer of hope
While our world feels on edge, watching astronauts explore reminds us we can build a kinder world.
