She’s a witch, so it counts! My partner and I kicked off our spooky movie season with Kiki’s Delivery Service, which C watched for the first time and found very charming.

It is a high holy day

If you see this, QRT with a gif of your first anime. (Sorry, I guess nobody likes Robby the Rascal enough to make a gif…)

Pretty sure this is the first AMV I ever saw: back in the Middle Ages of the Internet, a video file like this could take a whole afternoon to download over dialup. #WeebWednesday

Now I’m wondering if the collage artist co-opted in the previous round of “RETVRN!” millennial nostalgia still has a job or whether AI has completely devoured his profession.

jc denton: word on the street is people can get anything from you. vaccines. drugs. even bofa. deus ex npc: what's bofa? jc denton, pulling out gun: i'm asking the questions here.

A while back I started using one of those productivity softwares/online services to do a little bit of worldbuilding and then I stopped, so of course I can no longer remember what the service is called. While I'd really like to recover that work, I've decided to start over with OneNote instead.

Very happy Stanislav Petrov day - the man who saved every last one of us from becoming thermonuclear barbecue in '83.

One of my favorite tweets ever

Monthly Halloween (1985-1995) was the most important publication ever to exist

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS

Started listening to the audio version of Doctor Who’s “The Daleks’ Master Plan” (13 episodes, 10 missing) and a bit annoyed that this is one of those early TV sci-fi stories where terms like “solar system,” “galaxy,” and “universe” are used interchangeably.

Rereading Lord of the Rings for the first time in over 25 years and finding it impossible not to hear Sam Gamgee’s voice as the scratchy, childish version from the old Mind’s Eye radio drama.

Visiting one of the great props of all times!! The original… Can you name it?

Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score The boring one is the best one!

Nothing like taking a mental health day to completely demotivate you when you get back to work.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

Falling down the rabbit hole of early childhood nostalgia.

More authors should be brave enough to let their worst characters get hit by a bus.

“I warned you about curry bro!”

Oh snap, we can post our own gifs now. This changes everything.

I will never apologize for a post

First day using Windows 11 at work after being forced to update.

Do yourself a favor and track down a copy of Rock & Rule.

My favorite scene from Waiting for Guffman: that single chicken wing is the funniest thing in the whole movie.

Date night inspiration.

I’m being pressured to use copilot by my job and I feel like that kid in The Stuff who’s mom and dad kept creepily trying to get him to eat The Stuff

Oh god. Oh fuck.

Buy the epic OVA that’s 12,000 years in the making before it’s too late!

Boy, I’m damn glad that I ordered my copy of the Macross: DYRL 4k BD when I did.

The IBM 5150 PC, which we held onto even after we finally got a Windows 3.11 machine.

Close to wrapping up the audiobook for James Luceno’s Darth Plagueis, and it’s a damn shame that this wasn’t the Legends EU novel to get elevated to the new Star Wars canon. It’s infinitely more interesting and better written than Luceno’s own thudding potboiler Tarkin.
