Highlight of each @siouxpercon.bsky.social is getting a cover sketch by @bivensjohn.bsky.social

Great time at @siouxpercon.bsky.social today. Got to chat with @philhester.bsky.social @gailsimone.bsky.social @tonyfleecs.bsky.social @bivensjohn.bsky.social @danhausen.bsky.social plus others not on Bluesky. Talented and genuinely nice folks.

Just canceled Disney+ and Hulu. I don't support bootlickers who bend the knee to the Orange King.

This made me laugh

I'm so excited to finally see the Long Walk. Crummy day, but I wouldn't miss this one.

Tonight's episode of Alien Earth would have been an extraordinary experience in a movie theater. Homage to the original yet utterly compelling. Love this show.

I am very happy to be alive when Alien Earth, Star Trek Strange New Worlds, and Peacemaker are all releasing new episodes every week.

I'm getting very confused at the way "Al" as in Weird Al looks the same as "AI" or artificial intelligence. One I really love and hope produces content forever, and the other I wish would just die already. Spoiler alert, I like Weird Al.

Received my copy of Superman's Pak Jimmy Olson direct from @stevelieberart.bsky.social Etsy store. Not only signed and remarked by Lieber, but a surprise page of signatures of those from the cover including a blast from Iowa City past, @paultobin.bsky.social and @colleencoover.bsky.social

The first two episodes of Alien Earth is the third best Alien movie. Can't wait until more hit.

Weapons was so different, so exciting, and so crazy. I loved it. Found myself laughing out loud at all the wrong places.

The newest season of Dexter is so fun. Great cast, fun story, each episode has a cool twist.

I would love it if someone could explain why on my Paramount+, in which I pay extra for no ads. Every time I start a show, I get an ad for another Paramount+ show, usually one I just watched or am caught up on? What is the purpose of this?

Hulk Hogan died. Racist, sold out his peers' attempts to unionize, used steroids, and then lied about it on TV and in court and used his power to keep himself high and push others down. A "Real American" indeed.

Life hack, when you buy a birthday card for a little kid, you can buy all the Legos for yourself you want, and the cashier will think they are a gift!

“Superman is too woke!” Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

I know the source material is problematic, but Netflix adaptation of Sandman is so exactly my vision of one of my favorite comics. It is so faithful that I have no idea whether it is "good" or not, I only know it is just like I remember from reading multiple times. Wish there was more coming.

My, thankfully, former governor gets the Garbage Pail Kids treatment.

Not loving Hell Motel on Shudder. I mean, the show is good, but they set the opening in 1995 and then flashed 30 years later, and I feel extremely old.

So in a few years, when we equate the word "ice" with fascism, what are we going to call frozen water? Will it disappear like the Chaplin/Hitler mustache? What will we call "iced tea?"

I am running out of "like" for Bluesky's take on Elon vs Trump. Who could have seen this coming except every rational observer.

The device that tracks how many steps you take and how attracted you are to children are both a "pedometer". Ever since I worked with an English born person, I now pronounce it "peed-oh-file". Try it, you'll like it!

Shout out to all the companies who want to solemnly express their thanks to our Veterans on Memorial Day in the form of buy one, get one half off offers.

USA politics may be spiraling the world down, but there are five Final Destination movies in the top seven slots on HBO MAX top 10 movies, so I feel like we are getting some things right.

I don't know who decided that we need movies with elaborate death scenes, ala The Monkey and Final Destination Bloodline, but Bravo. New Final Destination is so much fun.

#blackmirror is back and I am watching an episode every few days. Not a binge show, I want to savor these disturbing little hours of my life.

AppleTV the Studio makes me laugh out loud each episode. Amazing cast and guest stars that get to cook each week.

Again, @jowrotethis.bsky.social drops a sports reference on the @theringer.com.web.brid.gy White Lotus pod to no notice. We hear you Jo!

I really wish the new Daredevil series had...what is it again? Oh yeah, Freaking DAREDEVIL?

Listening to @theringer.com.web.brid.gy White Lotus podcast. Did not have @jowrotethis.bsky.social pulling the sports quote before Bill and Mallory. Feel like this major moment did not get the acknowledgment it deserved.

I don't want to overstate it, but @carriecoon.bsky.social performance on #Whitelotus is the greatest acting performance in all of human history. I mean, everyone was great, but she just exploded off the screen.

@seanfennessey.bsky.social when you stop buying the physical media and become the physical media. Congrats.

What if when Trump gives his State of the Union, the democrats just alternated between yelling, "Where is Elon?", "when is Elon gonna be here?", "Is President Musk coming?". Then, whenever Trump proposes something, just laugh for a long time, like it's the dumbest thing they've ever heard.

You know who should've won an Oscar last night? The person who designed the little 'Gravity on / off' buttons in Alien Romulus.

Love seeing Mikey Madison win but my heart broke a little bit for Demi Moore.

STOP. ADDING. GAMES. ON. MY. PHONE. AFTER. SYSTEM. UPDATES.

With all the justified tributes to Gene Hackman today, I have not seen one of my favorites, Get Shorty. When he tries to intimidate Dennis Farina by saying, "Look at me" and Farina's mobster character beats the snot out of Hackman.

Reese's says this is a carrot. I am getting big, atomic bomb energy. Must have missed the Reese's Peanut Butter Oppenheimer collab last year.

Elon’s own AI says that he is the biggest propagator of this disinformation on X.

Found on Facebook: "Believing a small group of billionaires are suddenly working tirelessly for the benefit of the working class requires a spectacular level of stupidity."

Finally got my chance to see The Monkey. Let's go!

Another extraordinary exchange just now about "animus" in the court hearing on trasngender members of the military:

Checked my diary, and it is close to 20,000 days now that transgender people have not negatively impacted my life. Unlike foreign nationals who are attempting to overthrow my government in the name of efficiency.

Glad "Yellowjackets" is back. Joins "What We Do In the Shadows" as shows I never skip the opening credits because the song is so amazing.

So odd that some people refuse to call a person by their preferred name, yet when the orange man decides to rename the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America", they can't wait to do it. It's almost as if their principles aren't that well thought out.

The fact that the Eagles have not blitzed yet and are entirely humiliating the Chiefs offense is stunning.
