The Metebelis Two Podcast Ben and David chat about Doctor Who. Entertaining conversation.

M2P #266 - The series reaches the midway point, so why not drop in on last season's companion? McTighe brings a story examining contemporary issues, channeling his inner Haisman and Lincoln, massaging both the right and left of the political spectrum into a muddy middle.

The Metebelis Two Podcast Ben and David chat about Doctor Who. Entertaining conversation.

M2P #262 - Ben recounts how he enjoyed his time at the #gally1 #DoctorWho convention last month. (We recorded this days after the con closed, but due to real life getting in the way, the podcast took a bit of time to get produced. Better late than never, we hope.)

You’ve written issues of Commando?? That’s a must-buy!

If only he had worn a suit. So disrespectful. #disrespectful

Thirty days in the iso-cube and a thousand credits fine.

Trump cannot be given a state visit to the UK. It should never have been offered. The invitation must now be withdrawn. You might as well hand it to Putin.

I admit that I live in a bubble, but every one I know is absolutely fucking horrified

Like the Nazis in Germany, there’s no plan: they’re too stupid. For Trump it’s a third term. For Musk it’s converting as much of government financial to crypto as possible.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

A screenshot of a text excerpt from a court proceeding, showing a conversation between Judge Reyes and Jason C. Lynch about an executive order that defines “sex” strictly as male or female. Judge Reyes challenges this definition, noting that there are roughly 30 different intersex variations and citing examples such as XXX chromosomes, androgen insensitivity, and five-alpha reductase deficiency. Judge Reyes emphasizes that not everyone fits neatly into an XX or XY pattern, concluding that the executive order’s premise—that there are only two sexes—is biologically incorrect.

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

I feel that that would be a good result

😍 you’re in for a treat (I hope!)
