This is amazing story!

a man with a beard is smiling and the word yeah is on his shirt Alt: A gif of the character Shoresy from the show Shoresy saying “yeah!” delivered a n camera in a playful high-pitched tone

We get a new season of Shoresy in the US next week!

Don’t forget to support MST3K on Kickstarter! This was a no-brainer for me.

Only 100 days to go!

I’m incredibly excited for this adventure and I’m hopeful that you are as well. I’ll be there in IMAX. This is the way.

The level of joy this brings me

A paperback copy of The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin, book 1 in The Broken Earth trilogy, on a small gold-ish end table with my Star Wars: Kenobi coffee mug.

I’ve put it off long enough.

Today… I start The Broken Earth trilogy.

A team of tauntauns drive a hovercart carrying Mando & Grogu across the snowy wastes. The Cerveza Cristal logo appears over the scene.

We were so close.

Wooow!!

Totally agree!

Got mine for May 4th!!

My hand holding a paperback copy of the book “The Nickel Boys” by Colton Whitehead

Just finished book 3 of the year: The Nickel Boys by Colton Whitehead.

Emotional, brutal, and gutting. Dealing with racism as not just historic, but passed down like tradition, embedded and codified in society. Unfortunately and frustratingly relevant. An incredibly well-written worthwhile read.

It’s time to light the lights!

Promo poster for The Muppet Show (2026) which debuted on February 4 on Disney+ and ABC.

If you haven’t yet watched The Muppet Show… what are you even doing? Treat yourself to laughter and joy. It’s a delight.

Wow

Feeling frazzled and need a script to call your reps?
This made it super, super easy.

Do it. Call your reps. The DHS bill is now coupled with many other bills, and they are making it really difficult to defund ICE. Ask for a standalone DHS bill!
Defund ICE and demand accountability!

Anyway, watch Andor

Our hearts go out the the people of Minnesota today. You truly have friends everywhere. 💙

Deal!

LFG! The quality of Star Wars animation just keeps getting better and better every year.

A hockey promo image celebrating the Anaheim Ducks win over the Colorado Avalanche by a score of 2-1. Image created by the Anaheim Ducks and shared on their Instagram profile.

Lukas Dostal making sure Killorn’s 1000th game is one to remember! That troublesome 9-game losing streak is starting to look further and further from memory.

Really fun time to be an Anaheim Ducks fan!

I think it depends on the interests of each person. Some are totally fine with watching movies as they release on streaming while others can’t part with the movie-going experience and are willing to make a trip for it.

Really good to know! I’m not familiar with that one so I’ll need to check it out.

100% feel this

A hardcover copy of The Complete Maus by Art Spiegelman being held by me.

I’ve been intending to read Maus for the better part of a decade. Just finished and I can’t believe it took me this long to finally get around to it. Incredibly impactful, unique, and sadly felt all too relevant.

Love getting new animated Star Wars!

Here's a photo of a lovely tortoiseshell kitty with my hand resting on her back.

A neighbor was taken to a care facility, and her little tortoiseshell kitty was left behind. I can't take her in but I've been feeding her and giving her water every day. No one in the neighbor's family can take her in. Is there anyone in the Inland Empire area that could foster or adopt her?
