I woke up. There is nothing to scroll on for hours. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? Be productive?!

Trying a more straightforward table hot sauce: let fresno peppers & shallots ferment for two weeks before pureeing w/ garlic, honey, salt, & vinegar.

Andrew Tate has lost his final appeal in court, he is now facing 20 years in prison. Tate is currently under house arrest for child rape. This charge is part of a 2nd case that includes charges for human trafficking, trafficking a minor, influencing statements & money laundering. #OpDeathEaters

Inbox: ‘Wanted’ posters of healthcare CEOs wheatpasted around lower Manhattan ahead of today’s Goldman Sachs Financial Services conference. “Those who would steal from us have names, faces, and addresses. Justice will only come from the working class,” per anon communique.

#indianjonesandthegreatcircle I did this to myself. I spent $100 on a preorder knowing I live in a place w little to no internet access. Took literally 36 hours to download and when it finally did guess what? It needs an update. I will now be playing the game on release date having spent $30 extra $

Scifi famously precludes fiction where theocratic oligarchies & naked capitalism make the world into breath taking utopias because it strains credibility and is incompatible with even the most strenuous attempts to suspend disbelief. #uhc

1/ In A Clockwork Orange, the state’s use of psychological manipulation and violence to enforce conformity mirrors how modern systems exploit individuals’ compliance to secure convictions or maintain control.

Watched the #substance & was disappointed. No new ground is tread. Gross & lewd for their own sakes. Death Becomes Her did it better, w snappier dialogue, & w better prosthetics. Demi Moore shines proving once again she’s a brilliant actor. Plot holes the size of elderly pores.

Mentally I’m at the “drinking hard liquor before bed despite knowing it’s going to rocket through my colon at light speed tomorrow as soon as my fuck load of sedatives wear off.” stage. Emotionally the same. Physically? My body has become the immortal twinky. Bother me not w mortal concerns.

1/8: Annihilation isn’t just a sci-fi masterpiece; it’s a mirror to our unraveling. The Shimmer is our polarized reality: distorting truths, mutating ideologies, & erasing collective understanding.

Trying to imagine a race that creates an interplanetary federation but is still mostly white, heteronormative, and heavily entrenched in gender roles literally makes no sense. You cannot suspend disbelief in that scenario. Well said @starfleet-command.bsky.social

Constantine, Constantine, Constantine & Darkseid

I often argue that no marvel movie provides as many broad & sweeping details about the sheer beauty of scifi as the #blackpanther franchise. The storyline alone is worth the rewatch but spotting all of the small details leaves me wanting marvel to further explore this universe in particular.

Many blockbuster #scifi movies introduced ideas around how to change our infrastructure but are often then taken to their bleak political but logical conclusions. Most notable are the #megacities in movies like #bladerunner or #fifthelement that would encourage upward & not outward sprawl.

Among other social critiques 1968’s #planetoftheapes made some easy to miss social commentary on anti intellectualism & environmental degradation. Given our declining literacy rates, both media & reading related, it seems all the more prescient.

We finally know where Elonia Musk found inspiration for the #cybertruck

#solarbabies was released on November 26th in 1986 & was widely panned as a scifi mad max style knockoff met with abysmal critic reviews. The plot is hilariously nonsensical & made up mostly of holes & unexplained details. However if you’re the sort who enjoys an 🌿 remedy it’s a fucking hoot.

The scifi holiday movie we all need.

On this pointless consumerist holiday if you start to feel panicked or depressed that most of the people who raised you are ardent irredeemable deplorables remember: the planet is rapidly dying. In 30 years we’ll be lucky to still have drinking water never mind a feast founded on genocide.
