Dr Who is definitionally the opposite of a Hollywood studio output. Real heads know all the good stuff was filmed in an abandoned quarry somewhere with a bunch of classically trained theatre actors hamming it up

Compound german word you get for the feeling of being in the kitchen of a friend's house at dawn when they're away and you're making coffee on the hob and feeding the cat whilst it absolutely lashes with rain outside

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.

Bill Bryson on the RNLI in "The Road to Little Dribbling : more notes from a small island" (2015)
I had never really stopped to consider what an extraordinary thing the Royal National Lifeboat Institution is. Think about it. A troubled ship calls for help, and eight people - teachers, plumbers, the guy
who runs the pub - drop everything and put to sea, whatever the weather, asking no questions, imperilling their own lives, to try to help strangers. Is there anything more brave and noble than that? The RNLI - I looked this up later - is an organization run by volunteers, supported entirely by public donations. It maintains 233 stations around the coast of Britain and averages twenty-two call-outs per day. It saves 350 lives a year on average.

I kind of crashed out this week. Generative AI has made a lot of my hobbies and creative endeavours feel pointless, when I'm not in a good headspace. I had a good conversation with a friend that helped, so I wrote about it, so I can read it when it happens again. www.joelotter.com/posts/2026/0...

Picking on the RNLI and thinking you are the good guys is such a great example of what is presumably an irreversible brain rot, like if you opened up the bonnet on those heads it would be like when a peach has gone too mushy to be saved

How having a disability became cool
Young women, nicknamed ‘sickfluencers’, are turning chronic illness into a lifestyle trend and entrenching a culture of economic inactivity

Young women are also more likely to get caught up in “social contagion” – the spontaneous spread of behaviours or emotions previously observed by sociologists in “outbreaks” of bulimia, self-harm and transgender ideology. What may have otherwise been transitory feelings are seized upon and obsessed over until they form a central pillar of a person’s identity. A chronic-illness influencer won’t want to get “better” any more than a female-bodied transgender person would want to re-identify with their sex.

Thirdly, tying it to Robinhood makes it seem entirely fictional when the Peasants Uprising emphatically did happen and was one of the best things ever. We don't need a legend. There were named heroes who existed and who are being obscured by this.
