Sign the Petition Rename the film THE OMEN (1976) to THE SECOND OMEN (1976)

Because it is Halloween I remembered a very important change dot org petition that’s relevant to a horror classic.

Whoever made this is clearly brilliant and you should give him money, maybe even in exchange for work but I bet he’d also accept your money for free.

The movie-era USS Enterprise speeding towards a planet that's in the process of exploding. You can HEAR this poster.

Oh, man, Drew Struzan's departed us.

You know all the hits, of course; the man was a legend. Here's a rejected (!?!?) poster he did for STAR TREK V.

Ok. But are there any downsides?

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

The lower decks main characters.

The lower decks main characters.

Lower Decks’ win is the first time in 30 years that a Star Trek story has won a Hugo Award.

The last one was “All Good Things” in 1995.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. Close up on Quark, a Ferengi with a smooth and domed head and huge earlobes that connect like a unibrow across his face. He also has nose loaf that kind of looks like a pine cone.  He is pursing his mouth and doing a Jim from the office look right at us. Closed caption reads, "baseball, root beer, darts, atom bombs."

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Shaxs from Star Trek Lower Decks is pictured. He's a cartoon, because Lower Decks, besides being the best effing show ever, is a cartoon. Shaxs is a big burly man wearing his gold Star fleet uniform and also an apron over the front like he's doing some sort of art project or baking a nice sourdough. In each hand he's holding a broken bottle like that thing you do where you take a bottle and break off the bottom and then use it as a weapon. His eyeballs are bulging large, his brow is furrowed, and he looks absolutely unhinged with rage and anger. Closed caption reads, "Fighting fascism is a full time job!"

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business.

You’re in organized crime.

“Without widespread theft, my industry can’t survive” is an argument against your industry surviving, and is not an argument for allowing widespread theft

Marvel could pay for my healthcare for the rest of my life for a fraction of 1% of profit from Spider-Man Noir, a character whose original comics I edited. For Peter David to die in medical debt, co-creator of Spider-Man 2099 and writer of countless seminal Hulk and X-Factor comics—that's a disgrace

Ms. Rachel had the same arc as Ta Nehisi Coates where learning the basic facts of the situation made her go “this is unambiguously wrong” and it freaks out the credentialists who think serious people are supposed to say it’s complicated

There is an audience — a massive one, as Sinners proves — for forceful fuck-yous to fascism, racism, willful ignorance, gleeful sociopathy. There’s nothing delicate, nothing safe about any of it, either. People want to see antivax moms get yelled at by the guy from ER. People want a supervillainous politician as openly awful as the people currently occupying the White House and Gracie Mansion, and they want heroes who’ll take the fight right to him and his goose-stepping thugs. (You would be shocked at the sheer number of uniformed NYPD the Punisher murders alone.) They want to watch the Empire go down in flames not just at the hands of sword-wielding space wizards, but regular people who said enough of this shit and had the courage to walk the talk.

They want to see the Klan dead, and they want to see it happen at a Black man’s hands. They’re rewarding the movie that serves this up as its grand finale with history-making amounts of money.

Fan art of Toph, from Avatar: The Last Airbender, showing off a bit of her rad earth bending skills. Probably trying to teach Aang some stuff.

And while we're on the subject of teaching, please do your part to take care of this planet we live on. Or else. Seriously. There's nowhere else for us to go just yet.

Deep Space Nine scene. Jake Sisko is sitting facing us at a table on DS9 station. He's having a chat over juice with Nog, a young ferengi with giant ear lobes. Nog is in Starfleet uniform and facing away from us. Jake is wearing normal guy space clothes. Jake looks animated and talking with hand gestures. Closed caption reads, "I'm human--I don't *have* any money."
