Home Alone is such a cozy movie in large part because of the most incredible shade of green used heavily throughout that is both natural and mystical: Phthalo Green

I’m a tenured professor of philosophy. Here are my questions for Taylor Lorenz and every other ghoul celebrating the murder of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO: - Are we allowed to assassinate the CEOs of other industries you view as harmful (e.g., fossil fuels), or is it open season only on insurance executives? - Murdering Brian Thompson will do literally nothing to increase the availability or affordability of healthcare. Is it justified to shoot someone in the back simply out of frustration with the industry in which he works? - How far down the corporate hierarchy can we target? Are all employees of insurance companies valid targets for assassination, or only senior executives? What about mid-level executives? Managers? Actuaries? Entry-level analysts? The custodians who clean their offices? - CEOs are hired by boards of directors, who, in turn, are elected by shareholders. If it’s morally acceptable to assassinate the CEO, it should also be fair to kill the shareholders who appointed him, no? If this is the case, what level of ownership is required to merit inclusion on the kill list? Are the 10 shares I own in a Robinhood account sufficient? What about if I don’t own shares directly but I own mutual funds that hold shares? - As a society, we generally agree that murder is a more serious offense than other violent crimes, such as carjacking, assault, or kidnapping. If it’s acceptable to murder an insurance CEO, is it also acceptable to violently assault him, steal his car, and hold him hostage? - The largest insurance operator in the US is the federal government, via Medicare. Is it therefore acceptable to kill political officials, since Medicare also denies some claims? - Who determines the industries for which assassination is justified and merited? For example, if a religious extremist murdered the CEO of a pharmaceutical company that produced abortion drugs, how would you be able to condemn that in a logically consistent manner? There are other questions to ask on this topic, but let’s start with these.

omg david tennant and peter capaldi

i don’t want to be that person because spin offs are undoubtedly a great thing for the show and we should be continuing to expand the doctor who universe BUT part of me does wish that if they’re putting resources towards 14 episodes they were all the main show 😭

Russell T Davies said in DWM that the Bad Wolf team is working on 14 episodes in total. Nine for Doctor Who and five for The War Between the Land and the Sea. I guess the ninth Doctor Who episode is pre-production for Christmas 2025?
