Now Watching: SOUNDTRACK TO A COUP D'ETAT

#TrekADay It's The Loss, where Troi is attacked by two dimensional beings. Do your own jokes. More interesting, this redhead who's husband died under Picard's command looks exactly like his fantasy wife in the Nexus. Can't say he doesn't have a type.

if there's an automatic translation doodad on reddit I don't know how to get to it which has made moderating super fun big shout-out to the German poster whose username is an absolutely chaotic mix of 69, 420, and "pussy slayer" though, I can trust your posts no matter what language they're in

Is there anywhere online where the people from rec. arts. movies. past-films still congregate? I'm looking for a former poster there who has a name that's impossible to search for

Yes this is two days late but I just this morning caught clips of the fireworks show in DC and it was terrible I watch a lot of international fireworks shows on YouTube and the one in DC was notably bad in comparison

Muscle are doing essential, important work. They're at the vanguard of what's hot in queer cinema rn, and they are in the process of restoring four important films and they need our help. PUMPING IRON II: THE WOMEN is an all time favorite of mine & is among the films being restored

A professor at Kansas State told me I shouldn't have made a car in a short story I wrote a Chevy Nova because "Nova makes me think about the PBS show and then I got disappointed that your story wasn't the PBS show"

One of my favorite features of bsky: @marccold.bsky.social does a scene by scene breakdown of a Hallmark movie. And it's about archivists!!!!

This is tangential at best but for decades people assumed Neil Diamond was a Republican because of his song "America" which was, at the time, coded as a very rah-rah right-wing patriotic theme Not how it was intended but that's how it was seen

Here’s hoping it doesn’t rain tonight!

"Nothing says 'eat our delicious treats for Independence Day!' more than a flying skull called 'The American Nightmare'" - The Drumstick Corporation of America LLC Inc, apparently

This whole situation was reported in the small local paper, The Manhattan Mercury, because we live close enough to St. Marys KS that it's a local issue Will link to the Reflector instead of the Mercury though because the Merc's reporting is... lacking kansasreflector.com/2024/07/11/i...

If you’re not following this guy on Instagram’s day-by-day account of building a lightweight Phoenician war-elephant outfit centered around his toddler in the command seat so that he can hike over the Alps in it in the footsteps of Hannibal—you should be. www.instagram.com/reel/DaOO7iV...

musing over my citizenship status, as one does in a healthy functional society, and I am positive the folks on the German side of my family did not actually get citizenship after immigrating here Eddie's family is Japanese and his dad was born in Hawaii before statehood, whee

Well, we gave them a chance to fix their hearts.

This sounds like a bad memory but I swear I fell into this rabbit hole because I was thinking about a good friend I haven't been able to keep up with (because social media has become ✨The Worst✨) and how he was EXTREMELY helpful during this wackiness

ugh unbelievable, a pair of CERTAIN SOMEONES who came up with an idiotic plot to steal some of my blog posts and publish them in a book as their own are⁽¹⁾ friends with someone I know online pretty well ⁽¹⁾ Well, were, since one of them is really most sincerely dead

Tried to suppress a sneeze and ended up producing a noise so elaborate and unexpected that critics are calling it a thrilling new direction for the genre. I'm meeting James Murphy. I'm on the cover of ACHOO.

went searching for TNG stuff and found fanart where Troi's breasts take up her entire torso, Data has Obama's face, and I swear the McDonald's golden arches are in the background absolutely will not link to this because I don't art shame but also I'm too freakin tired to process this in my brain

Now Watching ST:TNG "Unnatural Selection" where somebody whose name probably rhymes with Bobbinberry decided it would be cool to have a 23yo mostly unclothed beefcake play a 12yo "boy" Double bleah

I cringe at the train coming at me in movies. I have never watched a train that was actually imperative to the story. It always makes me feel like the producer is trying to run me over with the train

Here is something you don't see everyday. Someone sent this crazy thing in for repair, very odd led sign That's not built well at all
