Yeah, I lucked out in having nothing better to do at the time. I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch all of the rest of the series, but I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it!

I don't really follow baseball at all, and haven't watched any of the playoffs to date. But I did watch this.

"As the labour movement in this province, our leaders have made a commitment to rise to that challenge, defend the teachers and their rights, defend worker rights more broadly, and to defend our democracy. We have no choice."

[Gil McGowan, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour] stopped short of confirming whether that response would include a provincewide strike, but said, “it’s one of the things that's actively under consideration."

I feel like the obvious rewrites to cover Gatwa's exit were so jarring, it's hard to feel overly positive about the twist.

But taken in isolation...IDK, there's potential there. It's all about the execution.

With RTD still on board, he's all but guaranteed to do...whatever it is he has in mind with Billie Piper.

Whether it's a one-off or an ongoing thing is pretty hard to say.

A "search for the Doctor" arc could actually be an interesting change of pace, assuming Piper isn't playing the Doc.

I'm not in Alberta, but pay doesn't seem to be the sticking point here - the union is trying to negotiate on class sizes (which AFAIK the province is refusing to even disclose) and classroom supports.

The BBC just confirmed that the show will continue and will return with a Christmas special in 2026 penned by showrunner Russell T. Davies.

Good. Let's just put it all behind us and move forward.

Abuse of the NWS has been progressively normalized over the last few decades, and I think we've reached the breaking point.

I'm begging you all, please report stuff that breaks the community rules and/or TOS - no one needs to put up with that nonsense.

Oh cool, GFR has finally gone mask-off.

This has always been the case, but I'm going to take this opportunity to state that links to that site are not allowed here, and will be removed on sight.

Thank you - this is what I'm here for.
