It's interesting how they they intend to find that which cannot be described yet: they're looking for small distortions in the view, the tiny ripples caused by gravitational lensing. Kinda cute.

You better get a bunk bed and sleep on the top bunk!
The planet could deflate and collapse !.
The view does get a bit fuzzy when playing drum&bass though.
I'm waiting for Google to sue meta for their use of the Googol symbol.
Ah but he doesn't say what is home country is now does he!
It's Scotland.
CLARA: Looks like a Japanese restaurant. Oh! Have you brought me to a space restaurant?
DOCTOR [OC]: People never do that, you know?
CLARA: Do what?
DOCTOR: They never put the word space in front of something just because everything's all sort of hi-tech and future-y. It's never space restaurant or space champagne or space, you know, hat. It's just restaurant, champagne or hat.
(The soldiers follow them as they walk.)
DOCTOR: Even if this was a restaurant
CLARA: What about spacesuit?
DOCTOR: Pedant.
(The Doctor and Clara turn as they hear the energy rifles powering up, eyes wide like rabbits in caught in car headlights.)
DOCTOR: Hello.
CLARA: Are you crew? Are you crew?
(The Doctor carefully reaches into his inside jacket pocket and gets out his psychic paper. He holds up up to each soldier until -)
NAGATA: Engineering stress assessors?
DOCTOR: Yes. Yes, we are.
(He puts the psychic paper away again.)
DOCTOR: We're here to, er.
CLARA: We're here to assess stress.
DOCTOR: Stress.
That is very polite of you, given the utter lunacy of my previous comment. Widespread consensus lunacy but still infuriatingly mad.
You don't understand! We've been without nuclear war for so long now it means we know what we're doing and we've got it all under control. Also nukes are overrated and they really don't cause as much damage as claimed. And Russian nukes probably don't work anyway.
Also forget cold war deterrence logic the old consensus that it is a crazy provocation to claim Ukraine for ourselves. We're being perfectly peaceful and legitimate and Putin is the new Hitler bent on expansion and he cannot be deterred.
That is well put.
The pejorative slant of 'woke' is that it distorts priorities. That the one political message drowns out the rest. I compare it with supporting Thatcher, Albright or Clinton because they are women.
Moffat emphasized priorities in picking an actor. I hope they picked Gatwa because he's a good fit for the job and not because he is black.
"even though"? It is an actor playing solo. If that one works for you, then I'd consider crediting the actor. In fact it must have been a factor in writing the episode because a major question the writer will ask is: can the actor carry it off by himself.
Stuff like this does not work with 'counter examples'.Do I have to explain how it works? There is no need at all for a front organisation to be 100% aligned with your agenda, in fact it undercuts the appearance of independence. Alignment is a spectrum, it can mean having friendly journalists who reproduce your messages, can mean friendly management putting the right people where it matters to you. Bellingcat is closely aligned with NATO, is partisan(which can be honest), has a secret agenda(a lot less honest) and is treated as an authority in all of the mainstream. They are utterly unreliable.
If you are referring to the bombing of the mosque near Aleppo, bellingcat did not conclude the US supplied munition, they said the US bombed the place. Which was like doing damage control for preemptively stepping forward and taking credit for what was bleeding obvious. They also said it was an honest mistake.

You have paradoxical ideas about mainstream. Every mainstream publisher, every nato state stands squarely behind Bellingcat. Does that sound 'alternative' to you?
Why does this CIA person love Bellingcat?

Bellingcat is like the NED. Stuff the secret services wants to get out there without being openly associated with it. Bellingcat appears independent but they can be trusted to always choose the side of western powers. They are a front organization.
Or they adhered too strictly to methodology. The null hypothesis is a tricky bastard. It leads you to deny something till it is proven definitively. When the null hypothesis is itself on very solid ground the damage is limited but when it is not you get arbitrary garbqge.
Especially the one which claims they have atoms in outer space too!
