people on this website are unbelievably misinformed.

ok repeat after me. Disney does not own Doctor Who. Disney did not buy Doctor Who. Disney has, at the moment (June 2024), some international distribution rights for Doctor Who. this means that in some territories (notably the United States) Doctor Who is being simultaneously released on Disney+ at the same time as on BBC iPlayer. that’s it!!! It does not mean everything in the show had to be approved by Disney. It does not mean that Disney has any kind of creative control over Doctor Who (and i seriously doubt they do).

you may realise that a lot of non-disney properties also release on Disney+ (especially outside of the country they were made in!). before this distribution rights deal, Doctor Who fans in the US would have to either pirate new episodes, wait for the home releases or hope that the new episodes would eventually come to whatever streaming service they are subscribed to. now there is a dedicated official way for the yank fans to watch new episodes (as they release, but on Disney+). that’s literally it! any problem you have with new episodes of Doctor Who, you have to have it with the BBC/the writers, you can’t blame Disney. i hate Disney as much as the rest of you but at least be accurate in your criticisms for christs sake. they are not changing things to be less (OR MORE) gay because of “Disney money”. good heavens

Yesterday, July 8th, saw a huge march for trans rights in London. Over 25,000 people in attendance, including celebrities and activists.

Our "impartial" media, the BBC, hasn't mentioned it once across the BBC News website. You'd think 25,000+ gathering in the capital city to protest for equality would be worth even a token one-liner article, but no.

I would say I'm disappointed but at this point it's expected. I'm angry about it, though.

EDIT: Apparently one does exist: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce9gdmenl5zo

If you're upset about duolingo firing it's translators, you should check whatever the equivalent to the BBC is for your target language (or the BBC if that language is English, but if your target language is English and you're reading this I think you're good) because a lot of major national news organizations have resources for learning their language. For example, DW has resources to learn German, NHK has resources for learning Japanese, TV5monde has resources for learning French. They're usually free (or at least, I haven't encountered one that's paid yet) and usually pretty comprehensive (though like with all language learning apps/websites def supplement it with other resources)

Congratulations to Chris on winning the latest series of Strictly he does raise some good points during this interview

[neil-gaiman]

one time at an American Gods signing in MN, we asked you if Tori would be the voice of the Tree

you said, and I quote, "If she isn't, I shall grumble."

did you grumble, Neil?

well, did you?

Why would I have grumbled?

Well, why?

There's more information at the BBC website.

But these days you need to get it from an audiobook site or buy it on CD or Vinyl.

[BBC is UK State Media]

A vessel suspected by the Namibian authorities to be carrying military cargo intended for Israeli use in the ongoing war in Gaza has been blocked from docking in the southern African country.

Namibian Justice Minister Yvonne Dausab told state media the ship was stopped because it had “explosive material destined for Israel".

The MV Kathrin, which set off from Vietnam, had requested permission to dock in the port of Walvis Bay – before sailing north, on a suspected route towards the Mediterranean via the Strait of Gibraltar.

Rights groups had warned that Namibia could have been implicated in potential human rights violations had it allowed the vessel to dock.[...]

The MV Kathrin, which was set to dock at Walvis Bay on Monday from Vietnam, was stopped in accordance with Namibia's support for the Palestinian people and the country’s call for an end to the violence in Gaza, Ms Dausab told the state-run New Era news website.

Citing a police investigation, Ms Dausab said the vessel was "indeed carrying explosive material destined for Israel, and was therefore prohibited from entering Namibian waters". “Namibia complies with our obligation not to support or be complicit in Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, as well as its unlawful occupation of Palestine,” she said.[...]

Namibian human rights organisation the Economic and Social Justice Trust (ESJT) welcomed the move.

"We are pleased that our government has decided to respect international law and decided not to be complicit to genocide," ESJT's Herbert Jauch told the BBC[...]

Namport has not responded to the BBC for comment about the MV Kathrin.

Breaking News!

Corruption uncovered in court!

This afternoon, at 4:30pm, we received information from a reliable anonymous source, stating that the well known gimmick legal system, including @the-gimmick-jury, @the-gimmick-judge, @the-gimmick-witness, the gimmick prosecutor, as well as @the-gimmick-authority, are all in fact hopelessly corrupt and incompetent, especially the gimmick judge, jury, witness and prosecutor, as they have been reported to be in a polycule, rendering the system illegal.

The gimmick authority also appears to be distinctly corrupt and incompetent, including a detective who is engaged to a murderous website, and an executioner dating a prisoner.

What does this mean for the safety, and upkeep of gimmick law? It remains to be seen.

More updates coming live on BBC News Network.

A fault with the BBC Weather website and app is leading to incorrect forecasts of hurricane force winds in the UK and across the globe.

Graphics show estimated wind speeds of 13,508mph in London and 5,293mph in Rome - far in excess of any genuine hurricane such as Milton which struck Florida overnight.

And temperatures of 404C in Nottingham, 384C in New York and 378C in Sydney were among those being wrongly displayed.
