Not sure I’ve ever even met anyone who’d care if Northern Ireland split off. Maybe some Rangers fans?

There were literally decades of violence and terrorism over that, so clearly someone cares.

That being said, But then I’m Welsh and live in England, I do not have a horse in this race. If the people in NI want to unify with Ireland and regain all their EU citizenship benefits as well as removing the whole “Northern Ireland border issue”, then I wouldn’t blame them at all.

Maybe I should at least reserve my real name on it…

*gets asked for mobile number

Nope, don’t care that much.

I really liked ’the Fam’. It was a nice change of dynamic from previous (usually) single companions. And different from the Amy and Rory relationship too - grandfather/grandson and Ryan not being romantically involved with Yaz just felt different.

Plus they were all good fun and bounced well off The Doctor in their different ways.

And Jodie Whitaker was a great Doctor too. While I won’t try and defend every idea in every episode, we needed the change of pace from a decade of Moffat and Segun Akinola’s music was also excellent.

Thirteen gave me what I wanted out of a Doctor when she left - the desire for just a bit more time with her.

My favourite Doctor is:

1. Whoever is currently playing The Doctor

2. Paul McGann (the film wasn’t great but he was, and I wish we’d seen more of him than one mini episode and a quick cameo…)

Fond memories of GoldenEye on the N64 where everybody’s head was a photo wrapped around a D20…

It’s the ciiiiiiiiiircle of lif *gets eye scratched out

Fugu. I’m far too much of a coward to try it normally.

More likely the D&D/fantasy version. Harry Potter called them “horcruxes”. Keep your soul in a box and whatever happens to your body, you can’t truly die.

But I didn’t know they were based on Jewish mythology, so thanks for that TIL!

How do we stop Iran killing their own citizens? I know, we kill them first! I are very smart!

I’d assume they were still called “Woody” and “Buzz”…

Nah, cows can’t move that fast.

They can’t fly either…

And none of this ‘working from home’ rubbish. If you’re not infecting all your coworkers, are you even trying?

I’m in two minds about that. One the one hand, yes, of course - as all the original COBOL folks die off, the skills will be even rarer and thus worth more.

On the other hand, if we keep propping up old shit, the businesses will keep relying on it and it’ll be even more painful when they do eventually get forced to migrate off it.

On the other other hand, we know it works, and we don’t want to migrate everything into a series of Electron apps just because that’s popular at the moment.

Hah. To swap eSIM on O2 in the UK, you have to order a physical pack that gets posted to you with the QR code in. There is no way to get the code to appear on a screen you can scan with your camera, or in an app on the phone you can transfer to the phone’s eSIM manager. It’s so dumb.

I told myself I liked SGU. Then I rewatched it a few years ago. It didn’t age well. Eli is basically the only likeable character. Why do I care what happened to Rush or the others? They were all assholes. I doubt I’ll give it another go, even though I’ll rewatch SG-1 and Atlantis eventually. A shame. It had good ideas, and the looks back at what was going on on Earth were cool, but you have to like (or love to hate) the characters to make a TV show work. I didn’t enjoy Rush or Young as antagonists, they were just dicks.

I mean, if we can’t be a properly grown up functioning member of the international community any more, we should at least be a cautionary tale…

Holy shit, Troy Baker is doing an incredible Harrison Ford impression…

I’m dubious on the first person stuff, especially since they seem to have put a lot of work into recreating Ford’s likeness. But I was dubious about Cyberpunk too, and that turned out OK, so what do I know?

Cautiously optimistic.

Fuck sparrows. I’d swipe right.

With a tennis racquet?

I am in this picture and I really don’t like it…

I mean Star Trek is not much better

What was it like before Disco came out? I know not everyone loved Enterprise, but was there always such a degree of animosity? I always thought Trekkies were generally pretty chill, especially compared to some of the assholes in the Star Wars fandom…
