Things you might want to know, for May 1, 2023:
- Listen to Russell T Davies talk about why he came back to Doctor Who — Please please please let this be a return to form. I don’t care who’s playing The Doctor, as long as the fucking show feels like Doctor Who.

- Ooh la la! Man glues himself to TV debate podium
- Amazon is making over 100 Prime Video originals available for free — You’re worth more as a target for advertising than as a customer. Think about that.

- Those scary warnings of juice jacking in airports and hotels? They’re nonsense — I wouldn’t say “nonsense”, but the threat is overblown, yes.
- The Forgotten Drug Trips of the Nineteenth Century
- Dick Amnesia Is a Real Thing — It’s easy to forget a cock, I guess. No one wants to stare it in the eye.

- What Are People Actually Subscribing To On OnlyFans? 8 20-Somethings Weigh In
- The soothing survival sleeping sounds of sneezing seal’s non-stick lungs
- ‘The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning’ Is Your New Reality-TV Addiction — I watched the pilot, and while it’s a lot like other decluttering shows, there is a different tone. I mean, there’s the obvious, pervasive mentions of death. But also, it isn’t really a “here’s how to clean your house” show… it’s a “here’s how to think about your future and ultimate mortality” show.
