This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Seriously though, this is the first properly good UI for a desktop computer. Mac OS (or I guess Macintosh OS at the time) was okay, but reliant on the global menu and weird drop-downs. Windows kept everything self-contained. Even multi-window programs tended to use the "multiple document interface," i.e., windows inside windows. Tabs weren't really a thing yet.

It also crashed if you looked at it funny and had the antivirus capabilities of warm cheese. But there's damn good reasons Windows 7 was the same experience, extended, rather than replaced. It's more-or-less what I style Linux to look like. And in light of that I'm kinda pissed off any OS ever struggles to remain responsive, when this relic ran smoothly on one stick of RAM that's smaller than my CPU's cache.

"We're gonna be the instance for everybody! Not you. Not you. Not you either. Ew. Not you. Who let all this riff-raff into the room?"

Between that and the constant downtime, this account might be short-lived.

All these criminals keep getting arrested... it must be a conspiracy!

Please learn to live in reality. Please start caring what words mean.

Kind of a shame it's just weird lighting on a normal-looking dude, versus being the sign that this is all a fever dream you can wake up from. I say you because my coma delirium wouldn't involve this many false starts. Comey's gonna charge him, whoops, nevermind. Mueller's gonna charge him, whoops, nevermind. We're going to war with Iran, whoops, nevermind. We're holding cops accountable, whoops, nevermind. The plague means UBI, whoops, nevermind. Roger Stone's going to jail, whoops, nevermind. A mob invaded the capitol, whoops, nevermind. Russia's seizing Ukraine, whoops, nevermind. Ukraine's expelling Russia, whoops, nevermind. Wagner's conquering Moscow, whoops, nevermind. The last seven years have been like a story told by a toddler. "And then... and then... but nuh-uh... and then..."

Seeing the figure of highest ridicule - whom I remember reading about in Bloom County collections when they were far from new - fail his way into the clumsiest autocracy imaginable, would not be followed up by this much inaction. Hallucinations don't start with "Carrot Top became the Pope!" and then level out. He's declaring a crusade on Gallagher, the Swiss Guard develop laser-pikes, and your childhood dog kills the emperor of Australia. So whichever one of you is having this nightmare, I want you to know your subconscious is fucking boring.

Extroverts and morning people have no idea there's anything else.

PC Gamer's Coconut Monkey era.

Then why is it one hour?

It was honestly more about me than him. I tend to trail off from media after about six years, regardless of fixation. Any criticism at the time would've been lingering Moffat burnout.

Though I was nudged toward letting go thanks to BBC America's broadcasting mix being too quiet to fucking hear him. I speak English! I shouldn't need subtitles for a show made in Britain!

Well, okay, I shouldn't need subtitles to watch a show made in England.

Putting in appropriate effort for a job where the pay is exposure.

I checked out a few episodes into the Capaldi run - not really his fault - and every second sentence in this article made me go "wait, what?"

I feel like I'm about to get texted some emoji clusterfuck conveying a well and seven days.
