Conversely, there are plenty of outlets out there to watch gameplay. I’m not saying Twitch should or should not allow Tig ‘Ol Biddies, I’m just saying that particular argument goes both ways.

“Our advertisers threatened to back out, so...”

I think the solution that would be okay to almost everyone is to segregate actual sexual content in his own category, and give us a option to hide it.

IF you have to talk to a robot, it’s fun to talk to a robot mimicking a famous voice.  GPS/nav systems have been using famous voices for years and years now.  You can get Darth Vader to tell you where to go while you drive, and it was a popular feature.

“The first digitally cloned order-taker will be former NFL player and sports broadcaster Keith Byars.”

Let’s be honest, “internal consistency” has never been Doctor Who’s bailiwick.  The episode “Blink” didn’t just introduce the Weeping Angels, it also summarized the show’s entire history of internal inconsistency as “a ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff.”

It’s actually funny how RTD was the one who started this whole trend, by having Nine be introduced as someone who was dealing with grief over the Time War, and then have him continue to process that when he turned into Ten. And now 18 years later, RTD is back to say “okay, you know what, let’s start from zero, but…

And yeah, if you see Dr. Who as this single long story that need to be internally consistent at all times - yeah, you’ll hate this

So it is not like the show doesnt already have a mechanism to give the new Doctor a clean slate.

Part of it is just that these three specials are collectively the show’s 60th Anniversary celebration and they wanted to celebrate their past. They celebrated everyone up through Eleven’s run in the 50th anniversary, so this plus bringing Davies back as showrunner celebrated his time at the helm. So that meant the…

Agreed - 100% this is about monetization.

literally never had that happen once. The only bugginess I experience is if I’m screwing around on my phone (while waiting for a kid to be done with riding/martial arts/whatever) and whatever app I open decides it’s the audio captain now.

Other than that and Apple Maps just occasionally being non-functional, every…

Oh, yes. If there’s one company that can absolutely make an interface that is less buggy than Apple, it’s GM. Thank goodness we’ll be rid of that buggy mess that is carplay

Thank you, General Fucking Motors, for suddenly caring so much about safety.

Hey GM, you’re full of crap.

No it’s completely because they want the subscription for updates. Otherwise they’d have an app that you can download map updates from your phone through bluetooth.

Given how well current Tesla owners over estimate the capability of their car’s features because of tweets from an idiot man-child, I fully expect all the off-road recovery YouTubers to be busy for the next five years.

The BBC already has a failsafe method of removing Doctor Who actors. Ask Colin Baker.

I think that going for the conspiracy thinking of “oh, BBC is not ready to commit to Gatwa, so they are keeping Tennant in reserve” is going too far. The way I saw it, RTD just felt like the show had accumulated too much baggage, and needed some rest. So 14th gets this rest, offscreen, because rest is mostly boring,…

See, we did get a multi Doctor episode for the 60th anniversary! Just not in the way anyone was expecting.
