I take your point - that the rapid progression might shock some people into action - but also keep in mind that Hitler took control of Germany rather quickly too and we all know how that ended.

Yeah, I thought we'd at least get to June before they tried this.
Honestly, a decent hiatus is long overdue at this point. After Capaldi's first season in 2014, I gave up on it and consider "The Day of the Doctor" as the finale/stopping point. I watched bits of "The Power of the Doctor" (which my wife watched in full) and it just felt like really bad fanfic. Nothing I have read about the Chibnall era or RTD's return has convinced me that it would be worth returning to the show.
It needs a good break and then a completely fresh production team to come in and start it again in future, at which point I'll try it out again.
Once he runs out of immigrants to persecute, the neurodiverse community will likely be next.
This is the start of othering autistics and making them less human. Combined with the fact that they already don't consider ADHD to be real either and seem to think people with ADHD are just drug addicts, it won't be long before neurodivergent individuals are being villified.
I guess one thing to remember is that if you were watching it when it was originally broadcast or even on DVD in the 2000s, the overscan feature of TVs would have hidden any issues at the edge of the frame.
Modern media centres and TVs now allow you to disable that (and often do since modern shows and films are made without overscan in mind), so the artefacts and edge distortions that are common in 70s/80s/90s shows are now visible.
They've really given up on being subtle about anything, haven't they? This is a clear conflict of interest and yet I doubt anyone is going to stop Musk.
Unfortunately Trump isn't alone in that regard - quite a lot of people reach adulthood lacking critical thinking and the ability to actually discern what is or isn't a reliable and useful source of information. Add to that the propaganda machine of media empires like Murdoch's and it's no wonder people buy Trump's inane ramblings.
I only have the PAL DVD set to refer to (so I think the scene in "By Inferno's Light" you're referring to occurs around 15:50) and I cannot see this artefact.
Looks like it might have been added by whatever re-encoding was done between the NTSC DVDs and your copy.
They're only worried about this now?! These are supposed to be observant people who manage large sums of money... How can they be that oblivious to Trump's modus operandi?! Even in his first term there was obvious evidence that he never matured beyond childhood and had a tenuous grip on reality.
Are you sure he's actually dumb if he's easy to train? One of our cats definitely cries when she really wants to play, but it's because she wants me to go to her rather than her walking down to the other end of the house where I am!
Your clever cat sounds like our Whisper. He is very intelligent and loves to explore (fortunately he tolerates a harness and we either take him outside with it or under strict supervision). He also knows what doorhandles do, but fortunately can't operate them himself.
As for food fussiness, our cats amuse us too. There is a wet food brand called "Fussy Cat" here that Tabitha won't eat at all and Whisper only under protest (and he's the food-oriented one). Tabitha definitely prefers anything fish, even to the extent that she'll voluntarily go to her dry food feeder (containing salmon-flavoured kibble) instead of eating the chicken or beef wet food. As for the loaf type foods, I don't think she even recognises them as being edible! Fortunately Whisper has not worked out that human food is edible (and we plan to keep it that way), or he'd be intolerable at meal times.
True. Here in Australia the rapid progression of the Trump administration has definitely resulted in some last-minute policy changes by our major conservative party. I don't believe they will honour their new campaign promises for a moment if they get into power, based on their previous behaviour, but it has been nice to see a bit of a reality check.
