Peter Gabriel, I/O
New music Wednesday
This musician has consistently captivated audiences through the years, and his latest musical creation resonates on various positive fronts. The album, developed over decades, stands out as some of his finest work. What sets this release apart, making it truly exceptional, is that the journey itself isn't the focal point of the final outcome. Unlike previous works, there's a notable absence of restlessness; instead, a sense of acceptance pervades, lending the production a subtle yet compelling strength that intensifies with time.

On August 10, 2018, a Horizon Air De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400 was stolen from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (Sea–Tac) in Seattle, Washington. The perpetrator, 29-year-old Richard Russell, was a Horizon Air ground service agent with no piloting experience. After Russell performed an unauthorized takeoff, two McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle fighters were scrambled to intercept the aircraft. Sea–Tac air traffic control made radio contact with Russell, the sole occupant, who described himself as a "broken guy, got a few screws loose, I guess." About 1 hour and 15 minutes after takeoff, Russell crashed the aircraft on lightly populated Ketron Island in Puget Sound, killing himself.

How I sacrificed everything to beg Russell T Davies to canonize Richard E Grant's Doctor
Several years ago, when it was announced that RTD would be returning to Doctor Who, this trend started of people commenting on his photos "Like this comment if David Tennant is coming back," "Like this comment if Donna is coming back" etc.
So I decided to comment: "Like this comment if you're going to canonize Richard E Grant's Ninth Doctor." And so, he liked my comment. And then he blocked me. And for years now, when I tell people that RTD blocked me on Instagram I have to stop and explain the whole story.
Anyways, last night this happened:
That's an image of Richard E Grant in a lineup of all the TV Doctors, including Hurt and Jo Martin. According to people who worked on the show, it's a special photo taken of Grant just for this scene.
So thank you Russell, it was worth it.
Incidentally, I just want to explain that I was a big DW fan before 2005, so I saw Scream of the Shalka at age 6 and was really dejected when Dad explained it wasn't going to continue. I've long head-canoned that the Richard E Grant Doctor is out there somewhere, with Time War shenanigans accounting for it all. Here's my custom Shalka Doctor:
