Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.

It’s a profoundly weird and slightly depressing feeling to receive contributor’s copies that you did not expect - and did not want - for a freelancing project that was disappointing and you didn’t enjoy working on.

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

They called her a monster - and so she became one. For years the tiefling woman endured their stones, their spit, their prayers for her death. But when they set fire to her home, something ancient woke beneath her skin. The screams that followed didn’t sound human - nor did the laughter. #dnd #ttrpg

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

How have I never seen the TV show Spartacus before? It’s GLORIOUS. Bad CGI, ridiculous dialogue, horribly staged fights, beyond gratuitous nudity, and Lucy Lawless chewing every piece of scenery she can find. It’s the most amazing piece of Unintentional Comedy since CSI: Miami.

This is just phenomenally stupid. It’s not like releasing the series preempts other shows. Just realize it without any fanfare and be done with it.

Excited for this one. The Fifth Doctor era is pretty much *my* Doctor Who era - I’m stoked to finally have it all on blu-ray. It’s also the main reason for going to @gallifreyone.bsky.social this year - finally being able to meet everyone from those years of the show.

Doctor Who: Prepare the Timelash!!: Episode 50 - The Wedding of River Song
Our 50th episode! And to celebrate, Ken & Mike are talking about ... The Wedding of River Song? (Could be worse. Could be Sleep No More.) The story's kind of a mess, but our hosts do their best to sift through it all and find what works (Amy! The Doctor and River's relationship!) and what, um, doesn't (Time happening all at once? WHAT?). There's plenty to discuss in this one, so have a listen!

Watching my favorite #DoctorWho story. I’ve probably watched this one more than any other in the show’s long history. It was one of the few I managed to record 40-odd years ago on the family VCR when the reception for our local PBS station was crystal clear for once. Always enjoy it.
