The difference this time is that the Doctor's queerness isn't just a side note. It's central to the story now, undeniable in ways that bigots watching back home can no longer refute, no matter how much they might try.

That's the guts of the article, since it acknowledges this has been in place since Russel T Davies' first season as lead writer in the mid 2000s. The part I liked about it is the classic sci-fi method of making it seem absurd to the main characters that the people in the past would think this is scandalous. Other than that it was an all-round good episode with a fun story.

Nicely played! There were some lucky moments that could have gone either way but you made use of what you had.

Hi, and welcome to the future. San Dimas, California, 2688. And I'm telling you, everything is great. The air is clean, the water is clean. Even the dirt... is clean!

Wow, they're gambling a lot that people won't migrate to a FOSS fork.

NOR getting a favored pitstop call might have compromised PIA’s race. There will be questions asked and let’s hope we get good answers.

I was angry when it happened, but seeing PIA's pace afterwards, it was an okay decision. If they weren't teammates NOR would have got past him eventually with the powerful DRS, and if they didn't do the undercut they would have had to do an on-track swap to avoid both drivers losing time.

Frustrating but promising for Alpha Tauri, if Ricciardo had a clean start he may have finished in the points given the race pace.

From Wikipedia:

The anime and live-action adaptations do not depict this revelation, and instead end before the time skip.

Seems like a good place to end it.

Thanks for sharing the link. Fewer deaths is definitely less tragic than more deaths, but less tragedy makes it easier to talk about - it's not a judgement.

The novel Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson opens with a "wet bulb 38" heat wave in India, i.e where evaporation can't cool you to below that temperature. Millions died in that fictional situation, so it's horrifying to me to see headlines like this.

Battery life or thickeness will certainly take a hit.

Modern phones tend to have a big bulge for the camera, so the rest of the phone can be thickened easily without impacting the maximum thickness.

I guess they didn't find good car footage...

As a wide-eyed kid this seemed like a no-brainer, but then having watched what Elon does with the things he owns I'm not sure it's such a good idea...
