Oh, right. She remembers the War Doctor exists. I thought that they wouldn’t remember that they didn’t actually commit genocide? Something about a time stream and none of them retaining the memory.

AND the War Doctor, who I believe... makes 13 actually 14, even if she doesn’t remember it? But yes: “known to have 13 lives” was very deliberate phrasing. I think that they’ve introduced enough uncertainty that although Time Lords as a species could only regenerate 12 times to have 13 lives, Doctor Who can regenerate…

The Doctor is a humanoid-appearing centuries old alien called a Time Lord. Time Lords are known to have 13 lives which come in the form of regeneration when their current body takes too much damage. In theory, a Time Lord could regenerate into any folk. However, for reasons, the Doctor has always regenerated as a Briti…

“Suspicious characters.”
“People who look like they don’t belong.”
“Back pack people” is the new one on my FB neighborhood group and Nextdoor.

People are pissed of with society and they feel left out, they are tired of the bullshit and the feeling of being trapped in a system in which they cannot succeed or feel happy. Netflix’s Mindhunters dives into this topic when serial killers starting becoming a problem, or sequence killers. People are tired of…

I just started Moon Girl & Demon Dinosaur, and it’s GREAT. Highly recommend if your daughter doesn’t already read it. I’ve also heard that Iron Heart is awesome - my local comic book shop has been sold out every time I’ve gone. We don’t have any superhero movies yet (although there look to be positive black female…

“Churches have disturbances all the time” is what TheBurners wrote. Screaming children in church are absolutely a disturbance, and a very common one at that.

Bordenave, Bordendave, or Bordengrave?

I do literally everything I can to avoid checking luggage, period. It’s not just that I can’t have electronic devices (although that’s a huge bother). For me, the biggest issue is having to deal with checking a bag. Checked luggage can cost extra depending on the airline, and it adds at least 30 minutes to travel time…

This feels like more of the same. We’re still unable to subscribe to channels a la carte - over the course of a year, I will watch shows maybe 10-12 shows total on ABC, NBC, CBS, TNT, BBC America, Fox, FX, FXX (thanks, Archer), and the CW. I don’t need to watch tv live, and I don’t want to pay for dozens of channels…

Kind of an obfuscation that it’s at least partially the wife’s fault if a husband cheats because of an unsatisfying sex life. (Getting your wife to cosign doesn’t negate how awful and tired that narrative is.)

Sex is sex. Sex is not exclusively intercourse. If the sex someone is having is exclusively intercourse, an…

Words you said to a black author writing about representation of black actors:

1) There are not a lot of black superheroes in movies. More than Asian representation? Yes. Does there need to be more superheroes of all ethnicities? Yes, absolutely.

2) ...But it sounds like you’re asking black people to “toss a scrap” to other actors of color and it sounds like you mean that black people should…

I’m on episode 2 or 3 and really enjoying it so far. Fun, gaslighting villains, super awkward and poorly socialized protagonists, and disposable goons who get quipy one-liners before they’re offed.

Representation matters. It’s not just that Batman was and is white. It’s that all of the superheroes I knew about growing up were white. And all of the regular heroes. And all of the anti-heroes. My town’s library and my entire education K-12 were a critical mass of white heroes, white protagonists, complex white…

What does gender have to do with it?

It’s not that racist drivers are taking longer to pick up women and POC. It’s that potential drivers see a POC request for pickup (based on name, pic or neighborhood) and don’t accept the request. If multiple drivers do this, the time it takes for a pick up request from a POC rider to be fulfilled will be higher.

This. I pay for Netflix and Hulu, and I have Amazon Prime for the shipping bonus, but I refuse to add on any single-channel subscriptions. No HBO, Starz, CBS, etc. I’ve stopped watching a lot of shows just because they weren’t readily available.

I would not take that bet... that fanfic has definitely been written.
