Doctor Who [Season 1 Recommendations]
I've now published the draft of my first season of recommendations for Doctor Who!
UNICODE Character of the Day
U+218A ↊ TURNED DIGIT TWO
&
U+218B ↋ TURNED DIGIT THREE
Although they are categorized by Unicode as “Symbols”, these characters are actually digits, used for “ten” and “eleven” in the duodecimal (base-12) system.
You will note that ↊ looks kind of like a U+A786 Ꞇ LATIN CAPITAL LETTER INSULAR T (for “Ten”) and ↋ looks kind of like a U+0190 Ɛ LATIN CAPITAL LETTER OPEN E (for “Eleven”)!
See this proposal for more: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2013/13054-duodecimal.pdf

"The average American worker takes less vacation time than a medieval peasant"
A very interesting read on how work hours and leisure time changed through history.

I need to keep this in mind, next time I'm scared about being in trouble if I do something
Doctor Who [Latest Recommendations]
I changed my mind a bit for some stories, so here is the recommendations:
[ An Unearthly Child ] → Watch the first episode only
[ The Daleks ] → Don't watch, unless you're really curious - in which case I can recommend skipping through episodes 5 and 6
[ The Edge of Destruction ] → Recommended!
[ Marco Polo ] → Maybe, if you're ok with a reconstruction
[ The Keys of Marinus ] → ✨ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ✨
[ The Aztecs ] → Maybe
[ The Sensorites ] → No
Art, Photosensitivity warning for spinning, large objects taking up most of the screen
A (very mauve) brown dwarf star!! Being orbited!! (For a loose definition of orbit anyhow)
Hmm, the path that the camera is taking is a bit more jittery than I was expecting... Maybe the path it's following needs more resolution...
Also the extra clouds are maaybe a bit too high off the surface of the star? At least from a camera this close.
Anyway I like it and the aurorae and the overall color scheme =>
