New Doctor Who theme alterations for the 12th Doctor revealed.

This is why I gave up on this show. I used to sit down on the bed and watch the old Doctor Who on T.V. with little brother and sister and my Mum. We used to absolutely love it. When the new Doctors showed up, still good! Really good. Then things started getting ridiculously mental and childish and stupid a little while after 11 showed up (don’t get me wrong, he’s a brilliant actor, and I don’t blame him for anything), and now the show had just fucking gone downhill. Please don’t tell me this is actual music for the new Doctor. Please just tell me it’s not. Jesus fucking Christ this show has been butchered.

human life is incredible

I hate the excessive need to “modernize” everything in TV. It’s like, this wouldn’t be so bad if they actually made it still feel sci-fi, but now it’s this weird new-age bullshit, like they’re trying too hard to be “progressive”. I know I’m making a big deal out of a THEME SONG maybe, but thing is, they’ll probably end up carrying this ideology into the series itself. Where the fuck are things going.

it keeps happening

Sometimes, I fucking hate Steven Moffat for what he’s done to Doctor Who. Look, I know I’m fairly new to the show-having only come in during Matt Smith’s first season, but I went back and watched every episode of the old series and Moffat has just completely altered the tone. He’s trying to make it his own creation, which is fucking despicable, to mess with something as perfect as Doctor Who. I know it’s just a theme song, and I know the difference isn’t that drastic, but it fucking sickens me sometimes.

never forget my legacy

Nah I think the people disagreeing with this move are right, like, this is a really weird and unnecessary departure from the iconic theme, and sure it matches the new mood of the show really well, so I can see were the owners of the show are coming from with the change, but honestly sometimes you have to accept that nostalgia actually matters, and even if you’re taking the show in a different direction Doctor Who is not Doctor Who without the Doctor Who *theme*, I mean it founded electronic music for gods sake! The only thing I would say about this one is it sounds a little dated like it’s a MIDI file but then again so does the very first Doctor Who theme so I imagine after one season or so with Capaldi as 12 (which I’m really looking forward to!) they will do a cooler remix of it like they did with the original theme, and once it’s been around for a while I think people will have got used to it and they’ll like it alot more.

always reblog

If you’re like me and you read all the notes before actually listening it’s a million times funnier

Read the passionate comments first THEN listen to the new Doctor Who theme they’re discussing.

Even if you’re a full-on socialist like Bernie Sanders (or our beloved and esteemed Editrix, may she live a thousand years), there’s a good chance you think the US Post Office is hemorrhaging money. But that’s because you’re not as awesome as Bernie Sanders, who sent us a nice email this afternoon about the Post Office that didn’t even make us pass out from boredom. Part of it said:

“During the last 12 months, the Postal Service made a profit of $600 million picking up and delivering mail and packages to every household and business in America.”

It turns out the Post Office only loses money because “Unlike any other public or private entity, under a 2006 law, the U.S. Postal Service must pre-fund retiree health benefits.” And this is SNORE DROOL COMA anyway Bernie Sanders is going to fix everything, by repealing that crap and letting the Post Office ship booze all over the place, like they do now, except it’ll be legal! What’s the plan, Comrade Sanders?

“It’s time to end this outrageous pre-funding requirement once and for all.  My legislation would also give the Postal Service the tools it needs to succeed in the 21st century by allowing it to offer new products and services on the internet, ship wine and beer, and issue hunting and fishing licenses,” Sanders said.

Liz Cheney should be excited about the fishing licenses, because she does so much fishing in Wyoming, where she is definitely from. Liz “Wyoming” Cheney From Wyoming, they call her, especially when she is at home in Wyoming, where her home is, her WyHoming, you might say, if you were Wyoming’s Own Liz Cheney.

Where were we? Yes, the Post Office. See if you can make any sense of this Bloomberg article explaining just what the heck is going on with the Post Office’s “pre-funding” requirement. It seems legit but it uses words like “amortize” so we are not really sure what to make of it. The comments are apoplectic over how the article doesn’t point out that the Post Office is being required to fund benefits that will be paid 75 years in the future, meaning that they’re setting aside money for people who will work for the Post Office at some point but technically haven’t been born yet.

Hmm, law passed in 2006… onerous, extraordinary requirements imposed on a public utility… a high probability of shenanigans, we think!

But the really important thing is SHIP BEER & WINE

Some Hollywood people are making a Lego movie called The Lego Movie. Batman's in it and the plot is from The Matrix. I can't decide if it looks horrible or amazing.

An ordinary guy named Emmet (Chris Pratt) is mistaken as being the Master Builder, the one who can save the Lego universe. With the aid of an old mystic named Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman), a tough young lady named Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), and Batman (Will Arnett), Emmet will fight to defeat the evil tyrant Lord Business (Will Ferrell) who is bent on destroying the Lego universe by gluing it together.

The Wikipedia page notes The Lego Movie Video Game will be released in conjunction with the movie. Which, if you're following along, is a video game based on a movie based on stacking toys & figures containing characters based on other movies that are based on comic books. I can't wait for The Lego Movie Videogame Comic Book Movie that comes out in 2019.

From Seth Stevenson, an appreciation of leaving social occasions without saying goodbye.

These sorts of goodbyes inevitably devolve into awkward small talk that lasts too long and then peters out. We vow vaguely to meet again, then linger for a moment, thinking of something else we might say before the whole exchange fizzles and we shuffle apart. Repeat this several times, at a social outing delightfully filled with your acquaintances, and it starts to sap a not inconsiderable portion of that delight.

Sadly, most infographics these days look like this, functioning as a cheap and easy way to gussy up numbers. But when done properly, infographics are very effective in communicating a lot of information in a short period of time and can help you see data in new ways. In The Best American Infographics 2013, Gareth Cook collects some of the best ones from over the past year. Wired has a look at some of the selections.

Last Thursday, Chris Bosh had a quick cameo as a high school baller in Parks & Recreation. Aubrey Plaza plays the murderously surly April on the show and is apparently obsessed with Chris Bosh. She was really pumped up about getting to meet Bosh but didn't have any scenes with him. So, she went the weirdo route and pretended to be his hairdresser. He never knew.
