First, the bad news for Black History Month:
The recent series suffered abysmal ratings with fans outraged by the BBC shoehorning wokery into storylines.
I know this is a blow for the ten Black people who watched Dr. Who and loved that the first Black Doctor was a flouncing gay guy that literally cried every episode.
Also, in the recent Christmas special, a fat girl ate a star. (No, I’m not kidding.)
Never been a huge Dr. Who fan, honestly, but I still feel embarrassed at it falling this far into a pool of liquid shit.
WHORE OFF! WHORE OFF! WHORE OFF!
Because, who doesn’t love two whores striving to out-do each other in plying the whore arts?
(OK, this one really doesn’t have anything to do with Black History Month, but I love social media mass-fuck beefs.)
Jokes on you, PETA. I’d totally eat a T-Rex. I’d chow down on that big muthafucka, Fred Flintstone ribs flipping over the damn car, big-ass T-Rex leg on the BBQ. My Black friend and I would eat that shit all day.
Yes, I have a Black friend. We make jokes that make White women squirm and generally love terrorizing the populace.
Once, we went to a beer fest together. We observed that the event was overwhelmingly White, just White people all over that place. We concocted a scheme where we’d go up to hipster types and offer to let them take a picture with my buddy so they could prove on social media that they do, in fact, have a Black friend themselves. Sadly, no one took us up on the offer.
The other funny incident was that I found, Waldo-style, another Black person at the beer fest. Jokingly, I asked my friend if he knew him. My friend said, in good-humor, “What? You think we all know each other?” As we got closer to the gentleman, he said, “Well, fuck, that’s my cousin.”
So, I hate to deliver more bad news for Black History Month, but no one in Gen Z knows the name of a true musical genius of the 20th Century. I speak, of course, of MC Skat Kat. His star burned briefly, but it burned oh so bright.
Just done installing a WWII system here. Since all the media and politicians keep saying that’s what we have.
Though the Enigma machine interface that was suddenly added made me think…
Was that Nigma the Criminal, or Nigma the consulting detective?
What we really need, in these troubling times, is a column showing Who Whore It Best.
This is were Teen Vogue would shine.
And that was an obvious answer to OBE and a WWII systems question…
“My friend said, in good-humor, “What? You think we all know each other?” As we got closer to the gentleman, he said, “Well, fuck, that’s my cousin.”
Genuine LOL.
Hopefully the beer festival wasn’t in Mississippi…. “Well, that’s my fuck cousin…”
At Punk Rock Bowling last year, on the day Madness and the [English] Beat were playing, I went full rudeboy with my attire. The only other people dressed for the event were another band. I had people thinking I was a member of that band all day, and when one of the members of that band and I were skanking in the pit, the girlfriend immediately thought we knew each other (instead of recognizing a fellow geek).
By the way, the Pietasters are playing a local club in July.
Timeloose:
Cool, the girlfriend and I saw them just a bit ago. No new albums, so I had to give them some crap about getting back to work again. It’s shaping up to be a good year for concerts, already got tickets to several shows coming up. Supernova is now in the rotation for potential vacations (not this year, but next) as well.
Please tell me he said “cuz”.
“The recent series suffered abysmal ratings with fans outraged by the BBC shoehorning wokery into storylines.”
I stopped watching after the 12th Doctor’s (Peter Capaldi) Companion, Clara left. And I think River Song is one of the most annoying TV character’s I’ve ever watched.
I was going to try and jump back into the show a couple of years ago but when they made such a big deal about making a woman the 13th Doctor, I knew what was in store and wanted no part in it.
And I don’t mind a diverse cast but to have one for the sake of scoring brownie points is the easiest way to turn me off from watching a show.
Also when it flies in the face of reason. The wife was watching some show about Catherine the Great, or some other Russian czarina, and there was this black dude wandering around in the background. Every time I would see him all I could think was “why?” He had no lines, black people weren’t common in imperial Russia (too say the least), so, why? Just too fill a quota? That doesn’t reflect well on anyone, least of all black people.
/looks over at Wheel of Time, with its wonderfully diverse isolated village.
Neph:
Yeah, it is amazing that Amazon actually made WoT more annoying by giving it the Benneton treatment (and gaying the fuck out of it).
The books kept talking about how the blood in Two Rivers ran deep and that is why Rand stuck out like a sore thumb. Then the tv series made sure every race creed and color were in the village of Two Rivers.
Same here.
I watched one ep with Doctor Lady and it didn’t really do anything for me.
I just grew weary of the frantic pace and nonsensical plots – and that was before what’s his name came back and dialed the woke up to 11.
Capaldi is 2nd best Doctor.
Eccleston is 1st.
NuWhos don’t even break into the top Five.
NuWhos don’t even break into the top Five.
Correct.
Just say No to NuWho.
Jokes on you, PETA. I’d totally eat a T-Rex.
It’s been said that chickens are the descendants of dinosaurs. The same has been said about alligators.
The reason that chicken and alligator taste so similar is because they both taste like dinosaur.
I think PETA is still saur over our laughing at them.
To hell with Jurassic Park. Let’s pool our Glib money, clone some dino’s, and start Jurassic BBQ.
Uhm, lost opportunity, TOK!
Jurassic Park BBQ stand!
Someone’s already tried that angle.
They’re down the road, and they’re ok regular BBQ.
I had their BBQ potato chips once – I thought the name looked familiar.
Whoever said that about Alligators knew nothing about alligators.
Crocadillians predate dinosaurids.
Yup — how anyone can look at an ostrich and not see raptor kinship I don’t know.
And we happily will eat ostriches (just not as often as chicken… because chickens are practically bite sized for our convenience!). T-rex would just be the Family Pack bucket from TFC.
Pterodactyl = Great Blue Heron
We’ve had hens in the yard for maybe 13-14 years now. And I’m certain that if I were to pass out in the chicken coop for some reason, they would definitely try to eat me. You can tell by the look in their eyes.
They would absolutely eat you. Guineas would too, after they got over their freakout.
Great response to that pregnancy story: https://x.com/HaikusFromUnder/status/1892295069756998078
For those who can’t read it:
“Bonnie Blue, known for sleeping with 1,057 men in under 24 hours is reportedly pregnant”
“Birth control still has a 1/1000 chance of pregnancy…”
HA HA!
WTF?
I recall an episode where a star possessed people.
If the reviews are any indication, that was the same episode.
BURN WITH ME, MARTHA!
One of Tennant’s hammier performances, yeah.
What’s the shitty Dawn of Justice movie have to do with anything?
WHY DID YOU
SAY THAT NAMEBRING UP THAT SHITSHOW?I am remembering 42 (Series 3 Episode 7)
What is it with Stars possessing People in NuWho?
Well, Frank Herbert wrote a novel about sentient stars so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
😂🤣
Paula Abdul. Prime ‘80s tottie.
Straight up.
Ncuti Gatwa
I said that aloud three times trying to figure out how to pronounce it and my furniture started floating in the air.
2/10 entertaining, yet scary.
IIRC, “Shootie Got-wa” is how most folks seem to say it.
That’s a traditional English name.
Big predators probably don’t taste that great. A grass-fed Brontosaurus would be much better. Imagine the marbling on the steaks.
*drool*
Do you have a big enough gun to photograph next to it?
Do you mean something like this, Red?
Is intramuscular fat a thing with reptiles?
Reptile? Bird? Something in-between?
Brontosaurus? No thanks.
They probably mostly eat aquatic plants and taste like lake mud or seaweed. Yuck. How about those duck-billed thingies that ate tree leaves? I might give that a try.
Generally speaking reptiles aren’t very tasty. Very few make the cut, so to speak.
Grass fed beef is lean. You want a dinosaur that eats wild grain.
No such creature, the grains which create fatty livestock were engineered by humans.
I have many a fond memory of falling asleep to it during Georgia Public Television telethons on Saturday nights growing up. Older me has watched as much as he can of the classic series and enjoyed the modern when it kicked off… until it ended with Capaldi leaving the show.
Thank goodness nothing came after that (much like Highlander where they had the sense to stop with only the one good film!)
(Snark aside — I tried giving the Chibnall era a shot… the first season was just so badly written I gave up in disgust. RTD coming back at first gave me some hope they might actually write decent stuff… but I’m sure everyone remembers the interviews where he made it clear he was all in on Converting The Kiddies! ™ now and all… so I never bothered trying to watch any of his stuff. From the sound of the Sun article… I’m very very much not alone in that.)
The talk of woke Dr. Who reminds me, did we ever get to the end of Lady Pain?
Time for a welfare check on MLW?
Prime is streaming Britbox. Classic Dr. Who in what seems like a “best of style”. This week I watched Planet of the Spiders, Logopolis, Shada, among others.
Planet Of The Spiders freaked me the fuck out when I was young.
Tubi has a bunch of the early doctors.
If I had time travel, I’d seriously think about using it to go back and convince the Beeb that the Hinchcliffe era should not be terminated due to the whining of whatever-her-name was about scaring the kiddies. Those early Tom Baker seasons were the best as far as I’m concerned…. the Douglas Adams stuff was too… Douglas Adams (I mean, look at The Pirate Planet… so good ideas buried under more ham than a SPAM factory explosion).
I thought of that because Logopolis has never worked well for me. Extra sad since it is a regeneration story… (that season was soooo spotty anyway.. Leisure Hive, bleah… Meglos was crap.. Full Circle was pretty good, State of Decay was camp… but I love it for some reason, Warrior’s Gate never worked for me… Keeper of Traken was good… but then we end on Logopolis and have to suffer freakin’ Castrovalva afterwards.)
Pluto does that too. It’s missing a bunch of my favorites.
“Well, fuck, that’s my cousin.”
That’s just fantastic.
Baffling
In a release confirming the bankruptcy filing on Wednesday, Nikola said it had about $47 million in cash on hand. The company intends to continue with “limited” support for trucks on the road. Court filings confirm that the automaker has liabilities between $1 billion and $10 billion, with the number of creditors it owes between 1000 and 5000.
Nikola’s filing makes it the third high-profile EV startup to declare bankruptcy in recent years. Lordstown Motors, another EV pickup startup, sought bankruptcy protection in 2023. A year later, Fisker, the California-based startup headed by Henrik Fisker, went belly up.
Why aren’t these vehicles more popular? it’s a mystery.
Niiikolaa
The Munich Conference ends in literal Eurotrash tears.
The same weenie who laughed at Trump when he told the krauts they were too dependent on Russian energy.

Apologies if drugs, arse, etc.
47 administration wants to send some criminal aliens to Guantanamo. A federal district judge in New Mexico says “no.”
So a little malicious compliance moots the issue.
A federal judge who ignored the law. Clinton and Bush both sent illegals to Guantanamo, cuz that’s one of it’s purposes.
“The Trump administration has vowed to deport millions of the more than 11 million people estimated to be living in the U.S. illegally,”
“More than” is carrying a lot, a whole lot, of weight in that sentence.
You might say the weight of more millions.
I saw an anti-ICE sign at the stinking hippie market today (it’s near my doctor’s office, sue me) and asked myself if they would really rather that the ONE dude they captured here, a violent felon who’d been deported several times, be still walking around free.
Was the other black guy having his picture made with rando white dudes too? At five bucks a shot you might could make gas money.
Paula Abdul was into bestiality? First I am hearing about it.
Sadly, the kittens all had a feline life span and the last one passed away in 2004.
She was in therapy about it — but it was two steps forward then two steps back. She could never get it to come together.
That was a straight up, cold hearted observation.
Noids do no have sex with doodles! It’s the oldest law in Cool World…
In a surprise twist, middle TOK daughter, the one who we haven’t spoken to in a year (maybe two?) called me yesterday with an insurance question. We chatted for a good 20 minutes. She invited me for coffee. No mention of Mrs. TOK, so she probably still wants nothing to do with her. But it’s a step in the right direction.
Youngest TOK got to pick up her husband from the ship this afternoon, so I’m sure she’s over the moon.
Been through those “I’ll never talk to you again” conversations, days/weeks or months pass by then like it never happened.
Eventually they tend to grow up and have a short memory.
I hope so.
This is good news.
I missed this story.
Different when they do it
Welcome to the White House, where every day seems to be bring-your-kid-to-work-day if you’re Elon Musk. The tech billionaire, fascist-salute-enthusiast, and de facto president of the US hasn’t just moved himself into government digs – he has seemingly moved in a selection of his kids as well. Over the last couple of weeks, mini-Musks have been popping up at high-profile political events, generating a steady stream of memes, headlines and analysis.
——-
To be clear: I’m not saying politicians should always keep their kids hidden away. Having leaders parent in public can send a powerful message. In 2018, for example, the former New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern became the first world leader to attend the UN general assembly meeting with her baby in tow. Ardern was broadly praised for showing people that a woman can be a mother and a leader.
What Musk is doing, however, feels very different. Not least because Grimes, who has three children with Musk, including X, has said multiple times that her young son “should not be in public like this” (or variations on the theme). Grimes also claimed she didn’t see one of her kids for five months while she and Musk were engaged in a battle for parenting rights and said her own “Instagram posts and modelling” were weaponised as reasons she shouldn’t have care of her children. Last year, Grimes’s mother similarly accused Musk of withholding her grandchildren’s passports so they couldn’t visit their dying great-grandmother. There are plenty of phrases that seem to describe what Musk is doing here and “dad of the year” is not one of them.
Using his children as props. A supervillain who will stop at nothing. Won’t someone rid us of him?
‘Fascist salute enthusiast…’ aaaaaaand I am out.
Oh fuck off ya Limey cuntes. Bullshit and you know damned well that it is.
I wouldn’t even line my birdcage with that trash.
Good news everyone. We have proof that free public transportation works (if the small town’s biggest employer is willing to pay for it because otherwise they’d be running their own shuttle service). https://www.sfgate.com/travel/article/mountain-town-proves-free-transit-works-20166276.php
Milwaukee begs to differ.
“Real socialism works! We told you!”
Where have I heard that bullshit before? Oh, that’s right, every time someone started trying it.
“That was a miserable disaster because it wasn’t real socialism”
Where have I heard that bullshit before? Oh, that’s right, every time someone’s real socialism collapsed into death, misery and poverty.
As for the BOONDOGGLE article, that isn’t true. It wasn’t a lesson. They learned nothing and will keep doing shit like that.
Remember the Google Bus?
Also, weird that the photo is AI, yet is being listed as FILE ie something they had taken previously.
Have people been reading about Zelenskyy pushing back on Trump’s “disinformation”?
Trump has unloaded on him. Didn’t seem wise for Z to bite the hand that is feeding him.
Yes. I’m seeing how terrible it is that Trump insulted Zelensky.
But I’m also seeing that neither Zelensky nor Putin are good guys. They can both be bad.
I think he realizes that Trump is serious about shutting down the trough of money.
He’s attacking in the hopes that it will make him a darling of the EU for being brave and stunning. Maybe they will send him something. It won’t be as much as the US, but it will be something.
I suspect some of the money launderers here have convinced their bag man that they will put a leash on Trump and the tens of squillions of dollars will flow again.
How could a greedy little imp like him resist believing that? The moron is dead already he just doesnt know it yet.
Quick question: does anyone use Monster (the website) anymore? Or is it all LinkedIn, Indeed, and Dice?
Haven’t been in the market for a while, but I did not use Monster. It was all Indeed.
No idea.
But the herding cats ad was one of the best Superbowl ads ever created.
Indeed used to be an aggregator.
LinkedIn and Glassdoor last time around.
Sorry, when I hired it was through a temp agency to get bodies.

It appears FP is pissed. I couldn’t be happier.
Would said EUroMil actually defend Europe from its current ongoing invasion? Or would they recruit the barbarians for it?
The EU can’t continue for long without NATO.
Just listened to these guys talking about it.

I’m beginning to think our newsfeeds are converging.
If they really believed their bullshit rhetoric (they don’t) they’d get right to it. Get going fellas and maybe learn Cyrillic, at least if the Rooskies want what they say you say they want (they don’t). And yes, PLEASE, quit NATO.
Outside the box
Alex Karp, Palantir’s cofounder and CEO, said President Donald Trump doesn’t accept paradigms leading to “stupid” outcomes — and it’s something he does “very, very well.”
“He’s quite brilliant at this,” Karp, who said he’d identified as a Democrat for most of his life, said in an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Tuesday.
Karp made the remarks when asked about early US talks with Russia about negotiations to end the Ukraine war and Trump’s past comments that he wanted to secure $500 billion worth of rare earth minerals from Ukraine. Karp said it was an example of Trump rejecting a paradigm.
“So what I see is he’s like, ‘I’m not accepting a paradigm where America just keeps financing things, there’s no real discussion,” Karp said.
The Palantir CEO said those who wanted to be builders could take a lesson out of Trump’s playbook.
“Do not accept a paradigm that is stupid, no matter who tells you that you should have it,” Karp said.
That’s not going to get him many cocktail party invites.
I’m sure the head of the CIA front company has no problem with invites.
Doctor Who ended in 1989.
Even Colin Baker’s pudgy shrillness or William Hartnell’s dementia adled performance is better than whatever this current mess is.
So much for Trump’s momentum. It was nice while it lasted, but it is over. Surely the nation will come to its senses now that the daughters of a dead businessman have spoken!
We should all listen to these old biddies who have done so much in their lives.
Target that was built on two principles: a focus on the customer and the well-being of the community.
The same “community” that burned and looted their stores after that lowlife overdosed on fent in police custody a few years ago?
TGT is down 50% in the last three and a half years. Maybe ditching the tranny kids’ swimwear and getting rid of DEI in management are precisely the things to do — if you want to reconnect with a community has has normal values and cash to spend.
But it might be too little, too late. Target may go the way of Montgomery-Ward and Toys R Us.
Maybe if you wanted to dictate Target’s policies, you should have kept controlling interest.
| Lily Phillips, who slept with 101 men, is claiming she’s pregnant…
I smell a class action paternity suit.
Maury’s going to need a larger studio.
Heheh.
“And the result from the test is now in. It appears that NONE of the 1001 men in our studio is the father of the baby!”
This. Until there is an unedited video start to finish I am convinced it was a publicity stunt and never really happened.
Doctor Who facing axe as lead star Ncuti Gatwa ‘quits’ amid woeful rating and fans’ fury at woke storylines
The recent series suffered abysmal ratings with fans outraged by the BBC shoehorning wokery into storylines.
Just say no to New Doctor Who.
