I was a Whovian from 1978 until the day they announced the Doctor was supposedly female. Now I stick with Drs 1-7. I knew after Whitaker got the role, the next one would be black. Similar to what Mark Steyn predicted, the next Dr would be a disabled moslem woman in a wheelchair.
Decades ago on my earliest trips to England I visited many little towns and stayed in houses that had handmade cardboard B&B signs posted on the front gate. I would never stay in an Airbnb in modern times - and that includes England too!

I’ve gone to Aldi’s a few times recently. It is weird, but I found some things I like among their lookalike brands – and I bought roses to plant on my last trip. They’re doing fantastically in the yard.
The moment it happened, I was writing a Facebook comment in response to an article about the Disney classic Sword in the Stone being unnecessarily remade as a live action film focusing on a female heroine. The original was about King Arthur, a white guy, so this will take some doing. There I was complaining about Disney, gender swapping and useless remakes. I figured I was back in Facebook jail
The only reason Ronna created that pledge was so President Trump had to swear he would vote for the actual nominee if it wasn’t him. All the others who have refused to follow that pledge received no complaint or no repercussions.
