Yup. That whole space storyline pleased me. 100% accurate? Nah. Good enough? Absolutely, with the spirit intact. I feel like somebody in the writers room has a friend at JPL who made notes.

Will always be angry about this!

This week's 9-1-1 episode was glorious. Just saying, as a someone who has used my IRL positions to warn folks about Kessler Syndrome, satellite constellations, lack of safety in private space travel, certain tech bros, etc... for years, I really enjoyed it.

Block, block, block. Report. Report. Report. Block. Block. Block.

Thank you! I have been lucky to see them perform several times over the past few decades, and they just get better and better.

I desperately needed last night's NIN concert. So cathartic.

😂

The movie, although not perfect, had good themes. It's a movie for adults, you know?

I guess my enjoyment of Thunderbolts had lulled him into a sense of false security.

So, my husband accidentally brought up Endgame because he had forgotten I am not a normal person about it. The horror in his eyes, poor man, once I started in.

Something that I love about being faculty at a CC is that we have *zero* prestige and therefore (usually) nobody targets us with their political machinations.

We are still focused on equity.
We are still teaching anti-racism.

My colleagues at other CCs have not stopped, either.

Well, KPop Demon Hunters was glorious.

We enjoyed Fantastic Four: First Steps far more than Superman.. I liked Superman, don't get me wrong, but I feel like the reviews demonstrate our collective relief that they didn't screw the character up instead of analyzing the movie. FF simply succeeded better as a movie (direction, story) for us.

Thank you! I'm so glad I took a chance to make it in.

I made it to Hall H for the Lucas Museum presentation and teared up when George Lucas walked on stage to a standing ovation. 😭

If I've been quiet during this #SDCC, it's because I've just been obsessively staring at the San Diego Lego-Con Diorama. Photos do NOT do it justice.

Classic Fantastic Four costumes on mannequins (including Ben Grimm) on a red carpet in front of a marquee.

For any of you who are still interested in the MCU, here are the costumes from the Marvel booth today.

This is disappointing. Hopefully you'll become more familiar with the notification system here and be willing to remove your focus from the fascist site.

Will keep ya posted! ;)

Yeah, I'm worried about ICE at the con. It hasn't been as bad here in SD as it has been in LA, but they are here. Kidnapping someone in Captain America cosplay might be more than they want to risk, though.

Hall H is already pretty well regulated to gain entry. This will be wild, though.

Should I try to get in?!?!?!? **hyperventilates**

Honestly losing my mind a bit right now.

I told my first grade teacher that the Sun was a star, like all the others in the sky. Bad move on my part, I guess.

I have a piece of the wallpaper from Sherlock.

OLD GUARD 3 now, please.

NASA is being told to cancel 19 *active* missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE *hiring/retention* budget going forward.

I need people to let that sentence sink into their bones for a minute.

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this;

most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue!

well, we do. so fuck off.

multiple reports now that LA cops attacked a peaceful demonstration

"Liberate this city from socialists and burdensome leadership." If that's not regime change, I don't know what to tell you.

The inflection point is now.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.
