Good ideas and good research take years to incubate, grow, and realise.
You need *time*.
Time to think, to try, to talk, to throw up and out 'silly' ideas and theories - some which aren't so silly in the end - to be bored, to revisit, to connect.
"We are witnessing the dismantling of a system that once made space for pure curiosity."
Sometimes I'm silly. Noticed that a fire camera I was watching showed a clock over a minute ahead of my system time, assumed the problems was me. Installed Chrony (Linux Mint, recent Win convert so I'm hardly a power user) and spent the usual 20 minutes farting around with it. Couldn't seem to get it right.
Finally realized my clock IS within a handful of microseconds of the NTP server; it's the clock on the camera that's wrong. D'oh.
I like Beetlejuice, and I like GTA, but making Beetlejuice a playable character in GTA5 was just a silly choice. #videogames
They're doing this because the Insurrection Act sounds cool and edgy but they can't actually justify using the Insurrection Act.
It's a silly action by an insecure administration desperately to seem manly and powerful.
It should be criticized relentlessly, but it should also be laughed at.

@… This is a silly dispute. When bad actors exploit real problems, not trying to fix the prblems is the wrong answer. Should anti-Nazi Germans in 1930 have stopped trying to fix the economy?
And at the same time scientists should try to be as precise as possible in what they say.
ICE raids appear to be giving criminals license to do whatever the f--- they want. But silly me... this has always been about Trump's racism, not law & order.
All you Trump voters are responsible for the misery of millions.

If Trump/USA is playing silly buggers* with medical & food aid to people worldwide who desperately need them, then we (the citizens of rich countries) should demand our governments step it up & increase the overseas aid budget. If we do that, we can collectively replace the US #auspol

I also see that the FFOTUS Imperial parade is being designated a "National Security Event", meaning they expect an elevated risk of terrorist events.
From whom? I suspect foreign interests, like neo-ISIS, are quite happy with the way that FFOTUS is dis-assembling the US - Bin Laden must be quite proud of what FFOTUS Musk miller/noem ... are doing to the USA. So why would they bother attacking this silly (and expensive) parade that makes the US look like it is doing a spin-o…

So, we have a song-contest blighted by a genocidal unethical corporate sponsor, with the remnants of the wiped-out race threatening a revenge genocide of their own.
Unusually political with the allegory there then.
Great looking scene when the roof was blown open, thousands of people all being sucked off! Looked great, but what a body count?! And the Doctor and his Tardis both sucked off too! He's frozen.
"The Mavity Shell is still open." Lol. Still doing that then.
Susan is here! His granddaughter. Just in visions though, not actually really there. She looks older now. Sixty years on. She's like 80 years old now. "Find me" she says. Not this season though I suspect.
I liked him using the Confetti Cannon to fly though space. Peter Davidson used a cricket ball to bounce off a space ship when he was stranded in outer space. And Peter never froze.
Also a great prat-fall after landing, pointing and gasping and then just toppling.
Silly muppets-aliens song was fab.
Anti-gambling fraud laws prevent calling for help. Brilliant.
Expected that hair to be hiding a set of horns, not that she'd have cut them off.
The Doctor has ice in his heart now, more angry than we've seen Nchuti's Doctor. Trillions gonna die, Belinda dead, Tardis lost. Almost genocidal himself. Certainly vengeful. Timelord victorious.
Belinda is scared too: "If he's angry, this whole world is going to shake", but it ain't a world is it? It's a space station. Much easier to shake 😝
Explosion breaking through the Tardis doors near the end is quite a cliff hanger, but not even actually the end.
Because Mrs Flood is the Rani, finally! Every mystery character has had the fans hoping it's the Rani for years. Like it never being Lupus for the other Doctor: Doctor House. Finally it is Lupus, I mean the Rani.
Not sure I like this bi-generation again though. It's supposed to be rare, but now it feels like it's every time. Still, at least it keeps Miss Flood there as Rani's lackey.
Who actually was the Rani again?
She's from the first McCoy episode: she tries to build a time control device by gathering geniuses from time and blowing up a planet. Pretends to be Mel, the Doctor's companion at the time, to fool McCoy into hhelping. So interesting that her new regeneration looks a little like Belinda. 🤨🤔
I figured Mrs Flood was just Missy, the female Master. But then The Rani was always just a female version of The Master before Transsexual Regeneration was a thing anyway.
Well, just the double finale left then. Exciting.
