you have GOT to remember when watching the new doctor who that the question is not is this good. doctor who is only ever actually 'good' once a season at most. THE ONLY QUESTION IS is it fun, camp, and has aliens. also remember the worst doctor who showrunner is always the current doctor who showrunner. now go watch the new episodes as god intended like you're ten years old and still remember how to experience joy and whimsy.

Even more when you can’t even type 2 sentences in Dutch without Google translate; let alone answer an ask in it.

Just-broken news: apparently the current version of KOSA is dead!

…That was sudden!

Via Punchbowl News: the Republicans (for reasons either strategic or spiteful) appear to have spiked their own bill—the one that passed in the Senate just now.

“Breaking news: The House Republican leadership won’t bring up the children’s online safety bill that the Senate passed with 91 votes on Tuesday.

“A House GOP leadership aide told us this about KOSA: “We’ve heard concerns across our Conference and the Senate bill cannot be brought up in its current form.”

“This is a big blow to the effort, which is spearheaded by Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.). And it comes just a week after Speaker Mike Johnson told us he’d ‘like to get [KOSA] done.’”

…This is not going to be a permanent respite, as there are congressmen who want to pass a House version of the thing. So it’s time for some more phone calls to your representatives, whichever side of the aisle they’re on.

Meanwhile, I can’t think of a piece of US legislation I’ve been happier to suddenly see fall over dead on the floor. :)))))))

ETA: for those having trouble with the Punchbowl News’s page format, please look under this break for three sequential screengrabs showing the KOSA article at the bottom.

Also: I want to remind people not used to following the way US political news cycles run that a straightforward discussion in MSM of what happened here may be some while coming. The Republicans are hardly going to come out and say “We spiked our own theoretically-kid-protecting bill, gotcha!” in the clear. Discussion will doubtless take some days to emerge, and is almost certainly going to be couched (mmf…) in the most anodyne, nothing-to-see-here, bureaucracy-ridden language you can imagine. …Just so you know.

I saw people on Twitter complaining about the way Hades talked calmly with Percy. Guys, Ares is the one who hates children, and even he tried to be nice to them. They are twelve year old kids, the gods know how to talk to them to get what they want

Don't get carried away by sympathy, Hades is not innocent, he knew exactly what he was doing there. The pomegranate juice was a joke, but a reminder that he's smart. He was being nice for a purpose.
