You are not alone in being banjaxed by S7. Netflix had completely the wrong running order, with Day of the Doctor erroneously at the end of S8, and did have Time of the Doctor.

Until *cough* somebody *cough* patiently explained it to a CS helper…, much like @mudlark has done for you.

Before watching Day of the Doctor, you could…[Read more]

Another Netflix bit of wonder stuff, prompted by @thane16 the Elder.

Watch Unbelievable, an 8 part “limited series” (ie only one season, I think) dealing with the Washington and Colorado serial rapes and starting with the truly shocking and infuriating treatment of the first victim, bullied into retracted her complaint.

I thought I was more concise 😉 but a bit of Ursula is never wasted.

(I did my Masters ta LSE and, in true LSE style, we had our own term: “Ideologically sound”, used in exactly the same way – always satirical, usually self-deprecating.)

I don’t think Dr Sachin Gupta is the right kind of Doctor…

@thane16 – knowing your thing for planes….

Bugger. Completely forgot it was Battle of Britain today, and I always post this somewhere. Ah well, only 30 mins late

There is no non-pejorative use of the term. Putting the most positive possible spin on it still leaves it as a lazy, disrespectful dismissal of something that a lot of people have put a lot of careful thought into. But specifically, Mis…[Read more]

@roger429

The term is sometimes used in an attempt to correct for a perceived injustice, historical or current.

It is never used like that – it is a pejorative, exactly as Missy meant it – used as a way to justify being offensive and getting all uppity when people pop back. I would challenge you to find a single instance of use in a positive…[Read more]

Did you or did you not ask what the phrase means?

No.

A thought experiment: every time you find yourself thinking the term “political correctness” might be appropriate in a sentence substitute in “being considerate” (because that is what the abusive term is…[Read more]

@roger429

I’m perfectly aware of the history, etymology, historical usage (as a self-correcting satire by the the left on those who got a bit too ideological pure) and how that was warped and corrupted by conservative writers into an assault on any who committed the sin of giving a damn about the hopes, dreams and feelings of others. And from…[Read more]

Nah,. Every time anyone wants to hide behind those pathetic weasel words as a justification for their prejudice and hatred they will get it with both barrels.
