A website generator built by a human still gave a human the chance to make some choices, feel useful, validate it worked right, possibly even an income.

This is just RTD being RTD, and I should ignore it. But it sent me on a wikipedia rabbit hole,
If we're being pendantic that wouldn't be "racist", it would be "speciesist",as race in biology refers to subspecies differences, not species-level, which is what the aqua/sapiens distinction means.
Also, if we're being inclusive implying that homo aqua are not "sapient", i.e. intelligent, seems about as insulting as calling them devils.
Totally unrelated, but I learned that from the latin genus name, you can refer to the chimpanzee tribe as "Panini", which is fun.
it took me far too long to parse this sentence. I kept trying to figure out why the grandparents calling their grandson on the phone was relevant to the story

I take issue with this comment from the article:
A Doctor Who source says the show suffered because Gatwa never fully embraced the role. “There is more to that role than performing,” this person says. “You have got to be an ambassador for the brand and embrace being that generation’s Doctor. Matt Smith and David Tennant fully understood the responsibility it carried.”
What nonsense. An actors job is to act, and Gatwa acted well. He had gravitas, he had presence, he was entertaining to watch. And much like with Eccleston's run (who was there even less time than Gatwa by the way), the problems I saw had nothing to do with an actor failing to be a "brand ambassador". If there are problems with branding, that's the broadcast executive team's fault, not the cast and crew.
I first read this as MPEG and thought they were talking about the video encoding.
I wish they were talking about the video encoding.

I love that "Lonely Mountains: Downhill" isn't woke, even though it gives fine grained control over your characters design, like a "feminine" body with facial hair.
No, the better solution is to add more black bars to the side so that it fits on to a wide screen.
"Envisioned as an important connecting vein that will one day see trains running from Helsinki, Finland, to Palermo, Sicily,"
Surely the important connecting vein here is a link to Finland, on the other side of Europe and across the sea from Italy, but then I'm not a rail engineer so what do I know.

For a "very 2025" show, I see they're keeping up the age old tradition of delaying international release for no good reason. I don't care, I'm in the UK, but just... why?
