Content warning: re: Doctor Who - Wish World
:tardis:

A wish granting god baby, granting Conrad's wishes in service of the Rani, turns London into a misogynist utopia and The Doctor into a good husband and insurance worker.
Hard to say why misogynists are so keen on the American 50s. Perhaps because it was before blacks had the vote and women could do banking.
And if anyone doubts this ridiculous tale, their table stops working and their family might call the doubt police, so they soon learn not to. All very oppressive and subversive.
Ruby manages to doubt anyway. And all the disabled people who simply never enter into Conrad's mind. Nice touch that. Great scene in the tent city filled with the dispossessed. They don't seem to have actually done anything so far but maybe they'll get more useful in part two.
Conrad is on TV telling a story about a man named Doctor Who.
Giant dinosaur skeletons walk the city, stepping over sky scrapers, and a bone palace towers above the city. Because I guess Conrad wishes for it to be so in order to give the Rani somewhere to live.
The palace is beautiful and Gothic.
But doubt is seeping in. Rogue is back, on the TV in hell, telling the Doctor that tables don't work like that. So he investigates. Gets himself reported to the doubt police who take him and Belinda to the bone palace.
The Rani's split from Miss Flood gives the pair of them a good chemistry. Queen and her maid of honour. Seems like Mrs Flood is likely to be the Rani's downfall. She doesn't like being told to make a sandwich.
A lot of exposition going on, but they at least put a hat on it: "Isn't just exposition, I need you to doubt"
So that's the reason for the strange wishes: To make the doctor have doubts so severe that the reality collapses, and Rani can rescue Omega. Omega is the dude in a Mask from the first 3 doctors episode, who gave the timelords time travel and got trapped in the underworld in the process. Timelords forgot him and never mounted a rescue, but presumably Rani is now hoping he'll bring back Galifrey.
And with London collapsing into the underworld and the doctor falling from the sky, we get the episode break and have to wait until next week.
That's not a cliff hanger, that an already-falling-from-the-cliff hanger.
Poppy really is his daughter he's shouting as he falls. And you know what that means?
🤨🤔
Back in Space Babies, the worst episode of the Nchuti seasons, that space baby asked if he was her parents and he said he wished that he was their parents.
That wish has been granted somehow?
Is this space baby Susan's mother? They have very different skin tones, but that doesn't matter much in a regenerating species.
Never have found out much about The Doctor's child. When he traveled with his granddaughter everyone assumed he'd met his own kid, the grandchild's parent.
But that doesn't have to be true for a time traveler. Maybe he met the granddaughter before he met his own kid, and maybe his own kid was just wished into his family line 60 years later (or billions of years in his timeline I guess).
Pretty fun episode but not sure it makes much sense. Why doesn't the Rani just wish for Omega to be back instead of all this doubt and underworld bollocks?
Last one next week. Super long episode. Hope it's all cleared up. Good chance we'll meet Susan again I think. And maybe see Omega's mask once more.

are you a platform/embedded developer?
do you need to interact with hardware in a semi-custom manner?
would you like to suffer a lot less doing it?
if so, #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer might be for you. the code below is all you need to build a custom testbench for a DUT you've never seen before. just as easily you can add JTAG/SWD debug, protocol analyzers, etc.…

async def main():
    assembly = HardwareAssembly()
    assembly.use_voltage({"A": 3.3, "B": 3.3})
    spi_rom_iface = Memory25xInterface(logger, assembly,
        cs="A0", sck="A1", io="A2:5")
    uart_iface = UARTInterface(logger, assembly,
        rx="B0", tx="B1")
    gpio_iface = GPIOInterface(logger, assembly,
        pins="B2")

    async with assembly:
        await spi_rom_iface.qspi.clock.set_frequency(1_000_000)
        await uart_iface.set_baud(115200)

Impressionen von der Nacht des Wissens 2025 #ndwgoe
Knapp 6000 Gäste erlebten am 21. Juni 2025 die Nacht des Wissens am MPS. In der verlinkten Bildergalerie findet ihr einige unserer schönsten Fotos aus der Nacht

Ein Whiteboard an dem Fotografien hängen. Die Bilder zeigen verschiedene Weitwinkelaufnahmen einer Sonnenfinsternis. Vor der Tafel, die Rücken dem Fotografen zugewandt, stehen mehrere Menschen, betrachten die Bilder und zeigen darauf.
Aufnahme einer Vorrichtung zur Erzeugung Chladnischer Klangfiguren. Eine flache Scheibe ist horizontal montiert und mit einem darunter angebrachten großen Lautsprecher verbunden. Eine Person streut Sand auf die Fläche, die durch die Anregung des Lautsprechers vibriert. Der Sand sammelt sich in den Knotenpunkten der Schwingung und erzeugt Muster.
Eine Scheibe eines sehr großen Meteoriten mit metallisch glänzender Schnittfläche liegt schräg aufgestellt auf einem Tisch. Rechts und links des Tisches drängeln sich Menschen und berühren die Fläche mit ihren Fingern.
In einem Foyer mit hoher Decke ist ein großes Teleskop ausgestellt und mit dicker roter Kordel abgesperrt. Durch den gesamten Raum bewegen sich viele Menschen. Eine Gruppe davon unterhält sich mit einem Mitarbeiter, der direkt vor dem Teleskop innerhalb der Absperrung steht.
