He looks dehydrated because he's dehydrated in those scenes.

If someone had shot Reagan and then gone on to be a jerk I'd dislike him for being a jerk.

Working efficiently and not wasting your life in transit is woke though. You wouldn't want to be woke.

Folks say they belong in houses and we shouldn't put them outside.

Employees who breach the three-day policy will be asked to explain why.

Because I can get other jobs in this field where I don't have to waste hours of my life on the tube just to give managers a sense of purpose.

For anyone who is confused, this user is talking about a sandwich. That is what is called a sandwich.

Hope that cleared it up!

Someone needs to raise their sandwich game.

Nothing I said was an attempt to make people feel bad. I'm rubbishing Ubisoft's games and practices: expressing an opinion. If that makes you feel bad then I suggest you look inward.

Really? Ubisoft though? If there's any game studio I could do without, it would be Ubi. Because of their practices I haven't bought a game from them in years and years, and honestly it's not even been a challenge to pass them up.

It's never a "no" though, is it?

Thanks to the glorious shovelling of Classic Who onto BBC IPlayer, I have been enjoying a glut of mid-80s classic Who.

It struck me how many of the CBaker-McCoy era stories are dystopian tales, reflecting the pro-establishment neo-captialist society that the writers felt was being inflicted on them.

Varos, Paradise Towers and Terra Alpha (of Happiness Patrol) are obvious examples; Necros (Revelation of the Daleks) and is a particularly nasty one. Even Trial of a Timelord was, at its heart, a tale of authoritarianism and narrative control.

Modern Britain is clearly in another phase like the 80s. If anything, the authoritarianism is more extreme, and the government's avarice more naked.

So where are the writers' reactions to that nowadays? Whenever the show has recently attempted to address societal issues, it has been either a direct sermon like Orphan 55 or an incompetent muddle like Kerblam.

Where are the dystopias?

Another thirty or so of these and we can finally stop waiting for Sunak to stop squatting in no.10.

I suspect there's going to be more content coming up sooner than this, but it's good to have dates for the diary.
