Trump dämpft Hoffnungen auf Treffen
US-Präsident Donald Trump hat die Hoffnungen auf ein Treffen zwischen Russlands Präsidenten Wladimir Putin und seinem ukrainischen Amtskollegen Wolodymyr Selensky gedämpft und erneut Sanktionen ins Spiel gebracht. Er werde in zwei Wochen eine wichtige Entscheidung zu seinen Bemühungen um einen Frieden in der Ukraine treffen, erklärte Trump im Weißen Haus. Es könne…

There's a woman I know who, when she was pregnant, was very keen to hear the opinions of crystal diviners and homeopath medics on what sex her new baby would be but wouldn't let the ultrasound-scan technician that actually knows tells her because Spoilers.
On that note, I'm happy to watch #doctorWho #badWolf #tv

The proportion of times that LLMs suddenly fail at something they've done well before seems tailor-made to screw up human reasoning about reliability. If it was 1 in 10 we would know, and be reminded often, to babysit them permanently.
If it was 1 in 1000, we'd rely on them with some reasonable safeguards. But because it's 1 in 100, we get totally screwed up.
The mistake always comes just after you've convinced yourself that "this is probably fine" and …

Die Erwartungen an ein mögliches Treffen sind gedämpft
Selenskyj will, Putin hält sich bedeckt. International wächst der Druck, die Präsidenten an einem Verhandlungstisch zu sehen. Beobachter dämpfen die Erwartungen. Wie stehen die Zeichen für ein Treffen?

Dit lijkt me een goede zaak en dit is ook de manier om dit in een democratie te regelen, via een formele wet.
"Om de openbare orde effectief te kunnen handhaven, is het noodzakelijk dat de politie en de burgemeester meer gegevens uit publiek toegankelijke bronnen, kunnen verzamelen dan nu binnen het huidige wettelijke kader mogelijk is."

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.
