That asshole in the White House will NEVER speak for me. Smash that 💙 if you stand with President Zelensky.

Too many words in that statement, Shopify. Next time, try "Fuck your Nazi shit." It's cleaner. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

There’s no shame in being blocked by someone trying to “twitter- up” this place. Glad of it in fact

“…you are not alone. And that in the long, twilight struggle which lies ahead of us, there is the *possibility* of hope…” - Draal, BABYLON 5

This remains, and I say this advisedly, one of the best exchanges I have ever seen on social media

@karlrolson.com Star Trek: Lower Decks - The Complete Series Blu-ray Steelbook is up for pre-order on Amazon lbabi.nz/Uwv5qm #ad thought this preorder tip from @lbabinz.bsky.social might be of interest!

Tis the season, so here's Stan Lee reading "Twas The Night Before Christmas"! When I asked him if he would record this, he was excited to preserve his rendition of the Christmas classic. It's now a poignant perennial. Enjoy, & Excelsior!

Official release of the trailer score… youtu.be/z8t3EesiazQ?...

New ‘Making of…’ book coming… titanbooks.com/72489-star-t...

The ACLU gets *zero* funding from the government. A bit disconcerting that the fellow tasked with reducing government funding doesn't know that.

When I hear people talk about deregulation, what I'm really hearing them say is: "any limitation on harming people is a limitation on profits".

Mid-60s Jim Henson-produced ads for Virginia’s C&P Telephone Company, full of that signature unhinged energy that made Muppet ads of that period pop…

The 4K UHD (restored) disc release of Michael Mann’s THE KEEP is, shockingly, available for preorder here!❤️🔥 vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/...

Hey @mikemcmahan.bsky.social! This is our dawg Delenn Furiosa Mariner Coltman-Oliver. She goes to agility training classes. Last week she met a fuzzy friend in class whose name was Tendi. Just wanted to let you know that the spirit of LOWER DECKS shines brightly in Zoom Room, South MoPac, Austin!

Or - fucking don’t! It’s not your living room, and we’re not paying OUR hard earned money to hear you talk, sing, or watch you take photos in a dark theater! Jeeze… www.darkhorizons.com/dwayne-johns...

The thing that keeps getting me about all the pieces fretting about Bluesky being too insular is that the argument seems to be that those of us who are most likely to be abused by the right (BIPOC people, trans people, queer people, etc) must put up with being abused for the sake of public discourse

PSA: reach out to me before using @wellsfargobank.bsky.social as a bank/financial institution. Two weeks after the fact, they’ve botched *multiple* account card replacements after mine was canceled due to fraud from overseas, and now I’m going on a weeklong trip w/ no card/limited account access.

GLADIATOR II is weird. Some of it is masterful, even brilliant. Much of it feels abbreviated, rushed, almost like a thumbnail/assembly cut. A # of potentially potent moments zoom past when they should’ve been allowed to linger. Diffuses. Mescal & Pascal lack the gravitas to ground wobbly tones.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

Turning movies into multipart TV series is one of my least favorite trends of this obsessive cycle of rebooting old IP There’s never enough story to sustain the premise. And it’s a fundamental misunderstanding of television as a form, which isn’t just a long movie (shakes fist at the sky!) Via THR

My brain doesn’t quite know how to process David Tennant doing an American accent…

#DuneProphecy. Gorgeously mounted, but energetically and spirituality confused, resulting in frequent dullness & muddy lore/worldbuilding which are amplified by uneven-to-stilted performances and wobbly scripting. So much potential here, but so far it’s missing the mark.

If y’all haven’t seen PRODIGY yet, you’re depriving yourself of some of the finest/smartest STAR TREK in years. Maybe/probably even *the* finest/smartest!
