    DOCTOR WHO IS A *CORPSE* & GATWA IS *TWERKING* ON ITS *GRAVE* | COMPARES WHOVIANS TO *PIGS* IN NEW COMMENTS:
    Doctor Who was defiled and destroyed in a single episode called The Timeless Children under Chris Chibnall, and any hopes that Russell T. Davies would set things right were dashed to bits when the newest Doctor Ncuti Gatwa went on a woke bender, slamming white people, mocking the franchise, and comparing all of us to PIGS. Thanks Gatwa...now we know we should avoid this train wreck
    at all costs. Here is my rant about how Doctor Who is dead, and Gatwa is buggering the corpse! #doctorwho #ncutigatwa #ripdoctorwho https://youtu.be/adERqWkSlUk?si=hoBqk0oguJdC6xzG

    WITH *FILONI*!:
    This is a rumor I've been sitting on for four days now, trying to get more confirmation from my Hollywood spies, but I don't think I can sit on this anymore. Multiple sources have contacted my Hollywood spies with rumors
    about Favreau, Filoni, and the Mandalorian movie. With the usual caveats, I present you with what I've been told about the current state of Star Wars,
    but do bear in mind, this is JUST a rumor, and if I get any more information on this one way or another, I will post an update ASAP, yea or nay! #starwars #disney #lucasfilm

    EIGHT STEPS TO SECURE THE 2024 ELECTION:
    Will the 2024 presidential election be secure from bad actors? What has
    your state done to ensure it will be? According to a poll done by ABC, confidence in our election system is at a dangerous low of 20%. Some of
    that confidence may be low because of what the Biden administration had
    done by executive order to change the voting process. The Washington
    Post reported, "New voting laws in swing states could shape the 2024 election." The laws are designed to make voting in places like Michigan
    and North Carolina easier, but will it make voting more secure? And
    what about the "shadow campaign that saved the 2020 election" from
    Donald Trump as reported by TIME? Glenn reveals we should expect more "fortifying" from a "well-funded cabal of powerful people" in 2024. But
    don't lose hope. By the end of this special edition of Glenn TV, Glenn
    Beck reveals a plan to INCREASE voter confidence in your own county in
    eight simple steps.

    What did you watch?

    After a successful day of grading (and a lab practice session), I got
    home and wanted to watch:

    Fallout (Prime) - "The Past" (ep. #1.5). Maximus is back in this epie,
    but no Ghoul.
    Maximus unwisely tells his squire, Thaddeus, the truth of his
    identity, and Thaddeus reverts to true form by being a coward and
    freaking out - he basically tries to kill Maximus by locking Maximus in
    his depowered suit. (Hopefully, Maximus kills Thaddeus later!) Lucy
    comes across Maximus, and frees him from his suit, and in return Maximus
    gives Lucy radiation treatment (for the radioactive water she drank in
    the previous epie) - What is the science here? What is this magic serum
    that cures radioactivity?!!... (I know this is from a video game, but
    you think they could do better than this!) Anyway, they together agree
    to hunt down Thaddeus to get the head back. Lucy asks Maximus about the
    200 years since the bomb, but Maximus seems completely ignorant. We do
    find out that there was at least one attempt to restart civilization,
    with the "New California Republic", but its capital (in the LA area?!)
    was apparently bombed somehow - this is where Maximus lived as a boy.
    Towards the end, Maximus gets winged by some "Fiends", and needs medical attention, which Lucy attempts to acquire in an abandoned hospital, but instead she and Maximus end up in a vault!!
    Meanwhile in Vault 33/etc., Norm continues to investigate, and
    determines that every person who has been an overseer in both Vaults 33
    and 32 has come from Vault 31. When Norm asks Stephanie what life was
    like in Vault 31, she gets all weird. Betty (Leslie Uggams - and, yes,
    she's from "Deadpool"!), who is also from Vault 31, is elected overseer, trouncing Woody and Reg by such a large margin that it seems suspicious.
    Betty then orders Vault 32 be repopulated, but Norm and Chet are
    astonished to see that all traces of the massacre have been "cleaned",
    in a very short amount of time.

    Then I watched:

    soaps: GH - Tues' ep. This was pretty much a "throwaway" ep., as it was entirely about Brook Lynn's and Chase's bachelorette and bachelor
    parties, respectively. (So no Carly, Sonny or Nina.) The only real developments were that Dex is getting the cold shoulder from almost
    everyone else in the Port Charles Police Dept, and a drunk Josslyn
    getting into another fight with NuKristina, and revealing to Kristina
    that Sonny ordered a hit on Cyrus.

    The same one that lets a "Ghoul" still be alive 200 years after a

    What did you watch?



    I watched:

    Shogun - "Chapter Ten: A Dream of a Dream" - Season finale. I was
    seriously underwhelmed and disappointed in the finale. Nothing
    happened! As a mid season filler episode, it works fine. But as the
    wrap up for the season, what were they thinking?!? The show would have
    been *much* better served if they used last week's episode as the finale
    and saved this one for the season 2 premier.


    X-Men 97 (Disney+) - "Lifedeath – Part 2" and "Bright Eyes" - Once again twitter bullied me into catching up by throwing various spoiler videos
    on the net. OK, they were good episodes with lots happening, but I
    don't like being forced to watch something for fear of spoilers.
