@eryn I'm not very good!
But I'm starting to learn again too, so we might end up at similar levels of ability!

Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 5 → The Ice Warriors]
(Spoilers below)
Episode 3 cliffhanger:
The Ice Warriors are aiming a gun at Victoria
Ice Warrior 1: we are ready to fire
Episode 4 begins:
Ice Warrior 1: we are ready to fire
Ice Warrior 2: ... not yet.
Wow. What a great cliffhanger. Thanks. /sarcasm

ok, this is getting really obnoxious.
I'm all for not blindly trusting computers, but at one point the Doctor does some maths on some pieces of paper, and is offended that they would double-check his results with a computer.
That's exactly the situation the doctor SHOULD be ok with – because if there's a descrepancy, then we know that either the original maths was wrong, or the computer was wrong, and from there we can fix things.

I’ll never forgive the internet for training a generation of artists and writers to call what they make “content.”
Boxes have contents. You’re a fucking ARTIST. You make ART. Own it.

blog, "regarding why software is so bad"
i wrote up some feels about software as a craft and why it's so awful right now
> Only together can we seize the craft from the industry. Only together can we demand and develop the high ethical standards that public infrastructure requires. We are not scabs or mercenaries. We are craftspeople, and we will do our craft justice.
Selfie, eye contact
@Liophu eee you're cute!
@hal@slime.global blaming the consumer for a company's evil actions is really short sighted and terrible
@rosen good morning, forest rosen
@Fenreliania sleep well, lovely fen!

Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 5 → The Ice Warriors]
There are quite a few early Doctor Who stories that are anti-computer, and I'm not entirely sure where that sentiment comes from
character limit meta (>500 chars)
@rachel 500 characters is never enough when you want to express complicated ideas - I like how dragon.style has a limit of 7777 characters, because it means that you're not restricted to such a small amount, but it also discourages you from writing a really huge essay.
I think also: tumblr's post -width- actually helps considerably to make long posts feel less long. Here, and on twitter, long posts have way too many linebreaks to feel comfy.
Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 5 → The Abominable Snowmen]
I finished The Abominable Snowmen. Surprising no-one, my recommendation is "Don't Watch"
Next is The Ice Warriors.
Petty complaint: "Ice Warriors" and "Abominable Snowmen" are concepts that are too close together, mentally, and I keep having to take a moment to figure out which one I'm watching.
time for boardgames~
