Deadline@deadline.com · 2d agoThe BBC has launched a tender process for 'Doctor Who,' calling on producers to pitch a "brave" new vision for the iconic sci-fi series.
society that develops teleporter technology but still has an airline for conspiracists and nut jobs that are leery about whether the you that arrives on the other end is actually “you”
not to get too Gender but my experience is that stand-up is like 90-10 male while improv/sketch is like 60-40 male. many of the former conceptualize themselves as valiant, misanthropic truthtellers who see through the gauze of society while the latter conceptualize themselves as silly, unserious

guffawed upon realizing that *this* guy is an actual person with power. like, how fucked are you if the poasters are leading you
i may be a little off base but i feel like rapture in Bioshock’s main inspiration aesthetically is more Weimar than what i vaguely recall from The Fountainhead (which i think has a complex about ‘excessive ornamentation’ in modern architecture and fetishizes sleek, functional designs)
one talking point the Admin likes now is “decline is a choice” i think—with parts of DC in ruin, an unending war, eye-watering inflation, unprecedented corruption, dwindling confidence in the dollar, and government-sanction murders —that we can definitively say he was right: america chose decline

if there's one thing americans and europeans can agree on regarding the united states it's this: americans are a very stupid people and are so, so fucked. like so unimaginably fucked. holy shit. it's only going to get worse. fuck. fuck. fuck. shit is so bad. there is a line and it only points down.
i work with europeans literally every single day and i do not think any of them think this
Daniel Knowles@dlknowles.bsky.social · 5d agoIn the age of peak Euro snobbery, wealthy Europeans used to imagine Americans living in monster trucks, eating only guns and dying at 55 of obesity. Now with peak Euro anxiety, when they imagine Americans, they think of somebody like them, only earning 5x more money at a start-up in San Francisco
