#Alien:Earth uses #PeterPan as a focal point and uses the same quote from #PeterandWendy to anchor its read as I used for the backbone of my dissertation chapter on it. Noah Hawleyโs a smart guyโwhat can I say?

The NeverEnding Story: Childhood Trauma and the Stories That Change Us - Reactor
An emotional touchstone for a generation of fantasy-loving kids...
A few days late, but my article on #theneverendingstory for @reactorsff.bsky.social is up! Itโs the latest in my #80sfantasyfilmclub series and (perhaps) the most traumatic!

Police carrying guns with less-lethal and gas canister rounds looking at suspicion at anyone who drives by them. Police looking intently at a man on an overpass waving a Mexican flag.

But itโs not quite fair to say โbusiness as usual.โ What there is is a LOT of is police. Police in riot gear blocking freeway entrances. Police cars, sirens on, in quarter mile lines barreling down the freeway.

Iโve seen a lot of posts, aimed at non-Angelenos, about how it is all business as usual here. About how there are no rioters, no looting, no urban warfare with โmilitary-aged illegal aliens.โ The details are true.

I definitely could see the puffs of gas rounds going off from the Freeway earlier in the ride. This is what fascism and resistance to it looks like. I am so proud of my city for standing up to Trumpโs jackbooted thugs and I hope we can continue to resist the tide of inhumanity he he sends our way.

Fire at the Protests in DTLA. Was not close enough to see the source though, if reporting is accurate, I believe this is a burning WayMo (Googleโs self driving rideshare vehicle).

Interesting! I hadnโt considered the Monty Python of it all. Also, it is easier to have ruins and set dress then less than build a full castle set or refurbish an existing one.

Formatting academic drafts to, in line with their publisherโs guidelines, remove a Oxford commas is a disorienting and, ultimately, terrifying experience. May I never get used to this.

#Mickey17 was broad and silly and delightful. Robert Pattinson is essentially playing a Tim Robinson character. Also Taskmasterโs Tim Key!
