Found this book at Waterstones yesterday that I had never heard of before. "Love and Monsters" by Miles Booy. Has anyone else read this? Would you recommend?

The big conspiracy theory on Facebook is that because of Nicola Coughlan's LGBTQ- charity work, she's now secretly trans. This is in the comments section of *every* UK news article talking about her. We are so cooked as a country. Transphobia is a collective mental illness.

Maybe I just have a soft spot for the use of "Under Pressure", but the latest trailer for 'The Thunderbolts' was pretty good (even if they've completely spoiled one of the film's biggest twists with the villain).

In years to come we'll look at this era and wonder why in light of a global pandemic, economic inflation, growing inequality and technological upheaval we decided to make the private lives of a minority considerably worse.

It might be a good move outside of America. It might be tough to find much monetary success in the UK on a advertiser-driven platform due to UK Spending Power being so poor. I know UK YouTubers who are struggling right now because ads aren't worth much right now.

I think the videos are region-locked so I haven't seen them myself, but aren't new episodes of 'Doctor Who: Unleashed' YouTube exclusive outside of YouTube? Not even Disney+ gets the "making of" material of a show they distribute internationally. A small, but massive shift in distribution.

A fascinating YouTube Trend I've been seeing more and more recently are companies uploading full episodes of children's shows on YouTube. They're normally old episodes of nostalgic properties, but it's a further indicator of companies completely ceding ground to YouTube for kids programming.
A YouTube video upload of a Pokemon Episode; "Dont Touch That 'Dile!" Pokemon Full Episode 1 - Season 3".

'Andor' isn't as big an issue, IMO. The same streaming service having overlap with their shows is probably good business to retain subscribers. But it's interesting how Netflix didn't give a release date for 'Black Mirror' until the BBC dropped the DW release date first. I see it as deliberate.

MrTARDIS @mrtardis.bsky.social · 12/04/2025
I do think that this weekend has turned out to be a pretty poor release date for 'Doctor Who' this year. Not only is the weather great so more Brits are outside, but it's sandwiched between 'Black Mirror' on Netflix and 'The Last of Us' on NOW/Max/Sky. We shall see.

It's been 9 days and Instagram is still pushing April 1st post (Fools or Otherwise) to the top of my feed. There must be something in the algorithm which is pushing these posts, probably to do with engagement but it's impossible to see anything recent from people I don't follow right now.

I'm aware that 'Blink' is not easily replicated, but if Sally Sparrow had become a companion, that would absolutely work as a season opener.

It's strange because he seems to only treat DW this way. Episode 1 of 'Years and Years' and 'It's A Sin' are so brilliant and bold.

Can't help but feel that if a Democrat was doing what Trump was doing right now, not only would Republicans be fighting tooth-and-nail to impeach, but they'd also try and arrest him for crashing the economy because of their brain-damage. But because it's Trump, the crash is good actually.

Gone into studio today after a day off and it seems like every crew member here with kids went to see 'A Minecraft Movie' whether they wanted to or not. Feels like the movie is going to be huge.

Oh, my mistake on the console price. I misremembered the PNG with the pricings I saw. The console itself doesn't seem too badly priced. But the cost of digital games are way too much and it seems the "physical" copies don't offer much either. It's just too much for too little.
000
MrTARDIS @mrtardis.bsky.social · 04/04/2025
Am I right in that because the Switch 2 doesn't have the same internal workings of the Switch 1, that it's emulating the games inserted and not playing them outright? Or did I read that wrong. If that's the case, it leaves me a bit uneasy on the reliability of the function.

MrTARDIS @mrtardis.bsky.social · 04/04/2025
It's a global console launch so I understand them not centering things on the UK, but dropping a £450 console with £80 games during a cost-of-living crisis doesn't spell good things here. Especially with all the April price-rises.

MrTARDIS @mrtardis.bsky.social · 04/04/2025
The Switch 2 looks like a cool bit of hardware. However, if that's the price of 1st Party Nintendo Games I might have to skip. I was tempted to get one and dive into the back catalogue with backwards compatibility, but if it's just digital emulation...that throws a wrench into gaming on a budget.

This poll and the failure of Starmer's Neo-Liberal Labour is absolutely insane. 3rd place. It's mad considering the Tories literally don't have any positions or policies right now and Reform are the same but with death-camps.

To clarify, most politicians are bought and paid for. But Wes is a rare case where you can see an overnight shift the second he received a donation. You can draw a straight line from the money to his positions.

MrTARDIS @mrtardis.bsky.social · 02/04/2025
Wes Streeting is one of those rare politicians where it's so nakedly obvious that he's bought and paid for. Literally, one day he was Pro-NHS and then the second he publicly received a £15K donation from a firm involved in private healthcare he *instantly* changed positions. Horrible human.
Tweet from "The Canary" reading;

EXPOSED: Wes Streeting took £53,000 from a private healthcare recruiter - and then announced 9,000 NHS redundancies

Will the private sector benefit from the NHS job cuts?

Why did Streeting think this was OK?

That can help with the last one, but only to a point. Disney's thinking could be "Why make a show in the UK when it's so much cheaper to do it in Europe?". And with lethal, continuing austerity in the UK, BBC budgets are slashed and consumers are weaker. It's so fucked here.

MrTARDIS @mrtardis.bsky.social · 01/04/2025
From where I sit, the threat of cancellation is there. But not because of the quality or success of the show itself, but because the UK's economy and media industry is in freefall. Companies going bust, an exodus of workers and inflation/energy costs 6x the rest of Europe.

Adolescence's success reveals a wider problem at the heart of British TV
While Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham's Netflix series is a cause for celebration, there's a reason it's on Netflix and not the BBC or ITV.

Just received a bill from Virgin Media and they've nearly doubled the price of our package (Basic Wi-Fi, Basic TV). Any recommendations for Wi-Fi and Basic TV Packages? Thinking about EE, but open to suggestions. Don't want to pay much more than £50 a month for both.

Between 2006 & 2008(ish), I used to do the village paper-round. Only 1 house in my village was subscribed to The Radio Times. There was a 10-minute walk gap between one of the houses and I'd just that time to go through their Radio Times to fawn over the 'Doctor Who' coverage and news. Loved it.

Update to this, I am now getting "Shorts" that are just normal videos now. This one, I randomly encountered was over 13 minutes long. What is happening at YouTube right now?

Surprised that there's no Cumberbatch. For me that's the biggest absence from the past Phase. Obviously there's likely more announcements to come and there is another Avengers movie coming, so maybe he'll be back then.

MrTARDIS @mrtardis.bsky.social · 27/03/2025
Honestly, the only exciting Avengers casting announcement from yesterday was Channing Tatum and Simu Liu. I really wish they'd brought back McAvoy and Fassbender as Professor X and Magento instead. No disrespect to Stewart and McKellen but that nostalgia-well has been fully emptied for me.

Whenever I open the YouTube App now, it defaults to the Shorts Feed and instantly starts playing them. It doesn't default to the Home Page, or Subscriptions but to Shorts, probably to be more like TikTok. I don't think this bodes well.

These people are so transparently racist, their bigotry so all-encompassing that they're actively ignoring the theme of the story about young male isolation (that they claim to care about so much) because the main character is white. These people's brains are broken, man. It's legit mental illness.

Seeing reactionaries *livid* about Jamie in 'Adolescence' being white is so funny. These folks lose their absolute minds if a non-white person is even adjacent to a piece of mainstream media, let alone the focus of it. But NOW they want a non-white actor because it's about a stabbing? 🤡 behaviour

MrTARDIS @mrtardis.bsky.social · 19/03/2025
I'd love to make a video on 'Adolescence' but I just don't have the time at the moment. But it definitely resonated as someone who was on the internet during GamerGate. As a 'Doctor Who' fan who saw the fandom co-opted by the Alt-Right the moment more women were visible. It's such a strong piece.
