Finally, we take some short trips with a familiar face via Big Finish in April. You know, the Doctor that frowned himself a face that reminded him to hold the line. Patreon members get an exclusive first look. Enjoy! www.patreon.com/posts/122353...

Hey, @mistresscaution.bsky.social You have @gordondym.bsky.social listed as claiming that it wasn't a "Nazi salute" As the person in question, I would like to know - when did I ever say it was not a Nazi salute? Because I never did. Please provide a screengrab.

Last night's @chicagowhomeetup.bsky.social brought the return of a too-familiar conversation: someone claiming that a guy on YouTube had "inside sources" who claimed Disney would be canceled. My retort: "Dudes have claimed that Who has lost its way since Peter Davison took over from Tom Baker"

In January, a ten-year-old died of carbon monoxide poisoning in a building not inspected since 2009. #Chicago needs proactive inspections to ensure this never happens again. Here's a recent statement about why we need this /1 bit.ly/CHHOCHJL

I put this together for the @chicagowhomeetup.bsky.social YT channel (and we'll have news after the first of the year), but for you...a story-by-story breakdown. This Hartnell story is Terry Nation's first equating the Daleks to Nazis. Last five minutes are heartbreaking /1

If you're in the US and looking to 1) watch classic DOCTOR WHO and 2) want inspiration for dealing with what will come... We've put together a YouTube playlist. (As the BBC adds more stories, we'll add to the list when appropriate) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Boms...
