Here’s to the demon who invented slathering a layer of greasy sunscreen into matted body hair to seal in the heat before you head out into the blazing sun it’s really a great new level of hell thanks.

A laugh riot

Death Cab For Cutie

Looking forward to this Friday

Note to designers: whenever you’re creating design options for a client, make sure you add a third, boring, unimaginative choice, and make sure you’re prepared to endlessly grind that one down to an even more boring final version, because that’s the one the client will choose.

Happy summerween!

I can’t believe after nearly 250 years we’re still dealing with this king bullshit. (And 80 years for the fascist nonsense.)

My dad took me to see Something Wild when I was like 13. Truly a formative experience. To that I say “Happy Father’s Day dad!”

In 1966 Brian Wilson conceived of recording small ‘modular’ snippets of songs in various tempos & instrumentation, piecing it together thru a laborious hand-editing process. The Beach Boys gave up. In 2004 digital software finally caught up with him and he released Smile. RIP to a True Genius.

Oh I did! But the specific Spock/Sarek/Michael drama wasn’t involved. Tho it is interesting that T’Pau was some kind of Vulcan rebel a century before she presided over Spock’s ill-fated wedding.

Watching Star Trek in stardate order means watching 2 seasons of Discovery & Strange New Worlds before TOS & the movies. So in Voyage Home when Sarek admits he was wrong for opposing Spock’s enlistment in Starfleet you really feel the weight of his remorse. Retcons sometimes work wonderfully.

Thunderbolts was a delightful surprise. Went in thinking it was just going to be Marvel’s Suicide Squad (but, you know, competently executed) but it was actually a very well done exploration of ptsd and depression AND also a fun Yelena and Bucky hang out movie. Great performances all around. See it.

Yeah thanks HBOMax but I think I’m done waiting two years to watch 6-8 episodes of horrible characters doing horrible things to each other.

I gotta say, the two-part final episode of fan series Star Trek Continues so perfectly caps the 5 year voyage and sets up the Motion Picture that to me its canon.

Man Wheel of Time has some of the most insane visuals on tv right now. Every episode might as well be The Red Wedding with the amount of crazy plot going down. A fearless adaptation of difficult material. Don’t sleep on this show. #renewWOT #wheeloftime

Just remembered why I stopped watching Walking Dead after Glen died.

Yellowjackets but it’s the cast of Daria. Is this a thing?

Well we finished Star Trek TAS and we’ve reached the Star Trek: New Voyages fan episodes era of our chronological-by-stardate rewatch.

At this point, I’m kinda bummed that I’ve never created any art good enough to be stolen by AI.

Slavery was never abolished in the USA it was just rebranded as "prison"

Princess Leia gives medals as Luke Skywalker bows. Caption “My friends, you bow to no one.”

Happy Destruction of the Ring Day!

Tbh I was pleasantly surprised. I knew Robby from New Girl was a goner (such is his fate in all realities) but I figured it would be Melissa or Shauna at the end of the ep to keep their rule in place. But that’s probably going to be Winger next week when he tries to get them home.

You really Britta’d that one, Lottie.

Clearly time travel is impossible.

The Lord of the Rings is a continuation of the Silmarillion, the War for the Silmarils, the Star-Jewels. In LotR the fellowship is led by Aragorn whose elf-name is Estel,which means “Hope.” So The Fellowship of the Ring could be called “Star-Jewel Wars Episode 4: A New Hope.” You’re welcome.

Star Trek TOS se3 ep16 “The Mark of Gideon”:
Oh good, ol’ Capt. James “Trashdick” Kirk is in the area, let’s stick him with a chick for fifteen minutes so he gives her space herpes and fixes our overpopulation problem.

Latest episode of Severance starts.
Me: Oh goody, a Governor episode.
Me After: Oh, this is what all humanizing-the-villain episodes should be doing.

I’m finally flossing regularly for the first time in like 40 years and now you tell me my dental floss has forever chemicals? I can’t win with you people.
