  7. I liked most of the first season of #Obituary but lost all interest early in season 2.

    #Sweetpea seemed to have potential, but it became clear in episode 1 that both shows are so similar I have to accuse Obituary of blatant theft from Sweetpea's source material, a series of books first published years before Obituary was released.

    Character type, exact same work environment, and general tone are identical.

    I won't bother with either.

  8. After more than two weeks, the Grauniad now has an #obituary for #CraigVenter: theguardian.com/science/2026/m I was kind of surprised that he died at a normal age, rather than using his resources to engineer his own immortality.

  9. "J. Craig Venter, the scientist who raced to decode the human genome, has died at 79.

    Venter rose to fame in the field for publishing the first bacterial genome ever decoded, along with a list on gene annotations, in 1995. The achievement kicked off an age of discovery in genetics, with researchers racing to decode the genomes of other pathogens—and eventually, animals."

    The time has come and the two previously missing but now gloriously present episodes of The Daleks’ Master Plan, namely The Nightmare Begins (Episode 1) and Devil’s Planet (Episode 3), are here to be viewed and reviewed! They appeared not only on the BBC iPlayer but also in full on the US (but not Canadian, feh) Classic Doctor Who Youtube channel, and we have viewed said episodes and have thoughts. But that’s not all we also have an interview with Toby Hadoke, who hosted a screening at Riverside Studios and reflects with Steven on the screening, the episodes, and the overall wonder that is their return!

  11. 17 years ago on this day Kathryn, my second wife, exited this world. She was an award winning feline health writer, middle eastern dance and yoga instructor, Arabic hand drummer, neopagan witch, an artist and music community leader. I had the privilege of her presence the last ten years of her life. She struggled with bipolar II, PTSD, anxiety, agoraphobia, Lyme disease, and chemical dependency. She gave much love, and needed more love than any one could give her. I am still wrecked how her health challenges distorted her views, how she treated herself and how she chose to leave this world, but ultimately I am grateful for all the love she gave me and others, helping us be better, wiser people. I miss her. Love hurts and love heals. Blessed be. #memorial #grief #obituary #death #companionship #love #music #neopagan

  13. Former U.S. Secretary of State Powell dies of COVID-19 complications

    Colin Powell, the first Black U.S. secretary of state and top military officer, died on Monday at the age of 84 due to complications from COVID-19. He was fully vaccinated, his family said in a statement on Facebook. ...

    Powell was one of America's foremost Black figures for decades. He was named to senior posts by three Republican presidents and reached the top of the U.S. military as it was regaining its vigor after the trauma of the Vietnam War.
