Wolf had called at the Doctor's after breakfast & together they walked along the lanes away from the village, from the wreaths & hymns. Up Pooksdown they went & the Doctor smoked & Wolf was silent, for some things can't be spoken of, however much time has passed. #RemembranceDay

This was so much fun! And I said what I said: The AppleTV series is actually an AU fanfic.
27 Oct 2021
Glen talks to @JoelleMonique and @petramatic about AppleTV 's FOUNDATION, which is not so much a dutiful adaptation and more a radical re-imagining.
(Plus, pretty to look at, even if you take Lee Pace out of the mix, and really, why would you?)

I have been at NPR my entire damn adult life and I don’t think I’ve ever been so pleased and relieved and even excited about a new union contract. HUGE thanks to our phenomenal negotiators! #WeMakeNPR

We’re excited to announce that we’ve ratified a new collective bargaining agreement with NPR.
We believe this new contract will improve our members’ lives and working conditions, as well as make NPR a more equitable and inclusive workplace. Here are some highlights:
