i don’t know how to explain to you people that no matter what a country’s government is like i do not and will not support the US indiscriminately bombing that country’s civilians and i don’t know why that’s a controversial take tbh

look i very much don't wanna hand it to tucker carlson on anything but like... what is wrong with journalism as an institution if "guy pushes member of government to see if they actually know what they're talking about" is a pleasant shock. what's going on. if watergate happened now theyd both sides it and unquestioningly report nixon's viewpoint

as im getting onto jazz im starting to realise i need to listen to more jazz that just kinda sucks?

like pop music is so ubiquitous that you will just hear shit pop music wherever you go, so i can tell how good, like, fleetwood mac or david bowie are from how much better they are. with jazz im obvs seeking out the good stuff but i have no point of comparison so i can be impressed more easily

We need to go back to using sailing ships full time like immediately. Yes it would take longer to get places but the Aesthetic is unmatched

if you're interested about what's going on in the uk rn we're about to decide that stabbing an mp to death while yelling the name of a far-right political party isn't terrorism but spray painting a plane is

cant believe neil young wrote barstool blues when he was so blackout drunk he couldnt even remember writing it. when im blackout drunk i just ruin friendships

honestly idk about the whole cinema experience but it was interesting apparently being the only person at my screening to get the two ronnies joke

if you haven't seen doctor who get the fuck off social media now until you do

[all-the-fun-of-the-cirkus]

after barely listening to him since... pretty much since he died actually, a friend motivated me to get back into david bowie, so over the last nearly-a-year ive completed his discography, and here's a slapdash ranking from best to worst

a few notes under the cut:

the only albums without a duff track are low, blackstar and, uh, outside actually (yes i like the segues fuck you)

hunky dory and ziggy are so canonical to me its hard to rate them, i grew up with them to the point i can basicall play them note for note in my head

diamond dogs through to aladdin sane form the "hell if i know" range; their ranking is largely arbritrary, and on any given day they can all swap with each other

same with hunky dory through scary monsters tbh

low is 100% firm tho

nothing on tm2 matches the best songs on tm, but it has the good grace not to have a full second half of filler so its much more palatable as an album

space oddity is probs too high but everything below has bits i dread

in all honesty i couldnt bring myself to relisten to nlmd but the title track singlehandedly raises it a notch

this will almost certainly change once i digest some of the recent listens, i already wanna bump blackstar and outside up

Careful, RTD—you're running out of Time Lords to reintroduce. At this rate, you’re going to have to reveal the Meddling Monk was secretly everyone all along.

oh, and that reveal in the interstellar song contest was clearly a late addition, wasn't it

mrs flood constantly calls her mistress, the big dramatic buildup to the rani namedrop, the flashbacks... five quid says it was intended as master fakeout

son of a bitch

"[x] character is the rani" truthers now that a character actually turned out to be the rani

[all-the-fun-of-the-cirkus]

okay fr did someone make a bet with rtd about returning characters before this series

[all-the-fun-of-the-cirkus]

now they're omega

"[x] character is the rani" truthers now that a character actually turned out to be the rani

[all-the-fun-of-the-cirkus]

seen people complaining about how low-key the rani reveal was, but any big master-style reveal would have been hilariously fanwanky. it's the fucking rani. Joe Public sees the master and thinks "oh this is a big deal," Joe Public sees the rani and thinks "oh its the c-tier comedy villain from the eastenders crossover"

i watched the episode with my family, and my mum still thinks shes the master even after she literally said "its me, the rani"
