Here’s my hot take on Pokopia. It good
this is neither a criticism of Star Wars nor of The Empire Strikes back nor of anything else that followed, I just think they are different things
latest ep of @morecivilized.bsky.social illuminates why I sometimes jokingly call the franchise "The Empire Strikes Back Cinematic Universe." The narrative and aesthetic project of Star Wars (1977) is not the same as the one initiated by ESB, the jumping off point for everything that followed.
and introducing John Hurt as the War Queer

What Does Paramount Have Brewing? Max Landis — Who Was #MeToo’d — Is Writing a ‘G.I. Joe’ Treatment
This usage of "MeToo" as a verb, which I hear all the time, is infuriating. As though "MeToo" is a thing that just, like happened to him. Or someone did to him.
Landis didn't get "MeToo'd." Eight women described how he physically or emotionally abused them, including allegations of sexual assault.

Three “not x, y” in as many sentences
“fizzle bomber” is just such a fun name for a terrorist
“Theydon Bois” ah yes, the riders of rohan
“No x, just y” with an em dash. Are you an AI, or are you just deliberately trying to sound like one for some reason
One more #gally1 in the books!! Thanks to the organizers @gallifreyone.bsky.social and the wonderful Marriott staff. My con was a bit compromised by a cold but it was a lovely weekend nevertheless!!
Davison wearing a Five(ish) Doctors Reboot t shirt in the style of a classic move poster
Fantastic t shirt on Peter Davison. #gally1
Topic of the writers roundtable has turned to AI. May of the writers are talking about why they’re so against using it. Ethical reasons, practical reasons, emotional reasons, legal reasons, it all really points in one direction: we don’t want it #gally1
There’s a bright, fun, charming energy to Freema but also a sense of wisdom, seriousness of purpose, and care. Love her!!! #gally1
So touching hearing that Freema is still so close with Adjoa Andoh, who played her Mum on Doctor Who and who she clearly looks up to so much #gally1
Love hearing @legopolis.bsky.social get really deep into the acting craft with Freema! #gally1
I’ve been alerted this insanely good video has fewer than 50 views!!! #gally1 youtu.be/5G4lqi-YCJQ?...
Finally its fan video happy hour time!! You can follow along here #gally1 youtube.com/playlist?lis...
Sounds like working with Eric Roberts was an interesting experience. #Gally1
I’m watching the live commentary of the TV movie. I can’t remember the last time I watched this, probably 10-15 years ago. This is really goofy and fun. #Gally1
Martin teases a new variation of the Fugitive Doctor’s costume we will see in photos shot for promotion of the upcoming “Circuit Breaker” multimedia project. Apparently it’s a similar design with new colors… and an incredible hat! #Gally1
Jo Martin shouts out Capaldi as an inspiration for her Doctor. One of us!! #Gally1
Love hearing Jo Martin talk about watching her reveal as the Doctor with her son, a huge Doctor Who fan. He knew she was gonna be in the show but didn’t know how big her part was! #Gally1
This transfeminist reading of Lungbarrow has been another all time great talk. #TARDISTalks #gally1
Oh my god the second she got an audience question about respiratory bypass, she revealed she had a whole secret extra series of slides about it. This is an all timer talk. #TARDISTalks #gally1
Fascinating talk on the two-hearted cardiology of time lords #TARDISTalks #gally1
Settling in for #TARDISTalks in #gally1 Program B. Always a highlight of the con for me
#gally1 I’ve already spent a little over $100 in the dealers room. Would have been more if the $50 crochet dugga doo hadn’t sold out within 45 minutes of the dealers room opening.
