@stiefkind@mastodon.socialPodcast-Empfehlung: Nach der Idee des Studio d'Essai in Paris und dem Studio für Elektronische Musik in Köln startete die BBC in den späten 1950ern den Radiophonic Workshop, um Elektronik mit Musik zu verbinden. Bekanntest Produktion dürfte die Sound- und Musikwelt der BBC-Serie Dr. Who sein. Bei Twenty Thousand Hertz gibt es eine schöne Podcastfolge über die Entstehung und das Wirken des BBC Radiophonic Workshop, enjoy:

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioThe latest info we have on the timeline of the murder of Renee Good is that she still had a weak pulse when city emergency workers first reached her. She still had a weak pulse.
Before emergency workers arrived, a doctor on the scene attempted to render first aid. ICE pointed their guns at the doctor and forced them back.
It is possible — we can never know, of course — but it is possible that doctor could have saved Good’s life. The ICE agents who forced back that doctor should also face charges. In a just world….
@pre@boing.worldGlad to hear the Director of the BBC is resigning in disgrace at their utter failure to ensure a 2026 series of Doctor Who. Any DG that can't even arrange for ten episodes of Doctor Who is clearly incompetent and unsuited to the...
Wait? It was nothing to do with Doctor Who? It was about Political Bias?
They think he was too left wing?
Hahhhahaa. Hahhaa. 🤣 😆
Too left wing.

@karlauerbach@sfba.socialThere are few good things to be said about US medical insurance or those awful Pharmaceutical Benefits Manager (PBM) companies.
However, the R's are pushing to create "savings" plans so that people can try to self-insure (probably many will buy some sort of additional "catastrophic" coverage.)
But there is at least one thing positive to say about existing medical insurers and PBMS - they have large numbers of people who go over doctor bills to see if they …

@pre@boing.worldWent to see Rob Manuel doing his @… show.
The very first one. And my opinions are officially so great I won the very first prize. A jar of his queen themed Maam-olade.
Mostly for provoking Doctor Who discussions and having head-shaving mistakes evident I suspect.
It was a fun night in a tiny pub with mostly old grey gen-Xers agreeing with each other about trivial things and laughing.
Excellent stuff. Nice to see you again Rob. Good times were had.
@inthehands@hachyderm.ioThe details I do have:
- Opting not to post location here; I don’t think that’s helpful
- Folks on the scene think it was a community member who was shot; definitely was not an agent
- Agents pulled guns on a doctor who attempted to administer first aid
- Conflicting reports on how many people hit and their condition
- There is video
Just grim.

... there's a List of Deaths wiki for deaths in fictional series. they have Matt Smith era as the highest death count: humans destroyed the Tiberian Spiral galaxy and its 1e21 people. this is offscreen, recounted history, and feels off-target ...
... the wiki seems pretty diligent about marking when deaths are off-screen, but there isn't a separated count, hm ...
