If you only know @thedreameaters.bsky.social from their more recent YouTube short videos, please do yourself a favor and try one of their songs from 7 years ago. I just heard it and I haven't felt like this since I stayed up listening to a mixtape with my best friend's new discovery on it.

New podcast pitch: Aura Farming with Walter Benjamin. Each week Walter Benjamin's spirit is irresistibly compelled to take corporeal form and address the implications of "aura" emerging as symbolic currency in online youth culture.

It's worth noting that Roy Orbison's song becomes richer and remarkably less problematic if you hear him singing, "Pretty woman, the kind I'd like to be."

Are the Star Trek Deep Space 9 wormhole prophets the same noncorporeal wormhole aliens that guided Moonbase Alpha in Space 1999 and does that mean Maya the Metamorph is one of the Founder Changeling Shapeshifters?

If a Stargate reboot happens, I ask only the the theme song end with, "When you / Read the Glyphstones / You'll Have a Goa'uld / You'll Have a Goa'uld / You'll Have a Goa'uld Time!"

The older I get, the more certain I become that the person who came up with "The Best Part of Waking Up Is Folgers In Your Cup" was writing a desperate plea for help that was mistaken tragically for an ad jingle.

Gonna start referring to literacy around my kids as Booksmaxxing

Isn't the real Mandela Effect just shorthand for "people would sooner doubt reality than injustice?" Like, who are all these people who were content believing that he died in prison?

I just watched a 2008 movie in which Liam Neeson portrayed a father with a very particular set of skills on a relentless quest to find and save his daughter from a fate he dare not imagine. My kids and I really enjoyed Ponyo.

Text from my son. "It's bad Dad" Fuck all y'all who led us here. That's all he could say.

Walter Benjamin said it best: "Such is the aestheticizing of politics, as practiced by fascism. Turner Classic Movies replies by politicizing art." Or something like that.

the rules are clear: Ryan Coogler gets to keep shooting until he misses

It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.

Dow is less than 50,000 so we get to hold powerful men accountable today, right? Right?

Seriously considering starting middle aged No Doubt cover band called No Gout.

I just watched Space: 1999's first season and I genuinely miss when television shows with big stars produced 24 episodes that look like they were produced by a well-funded high school drama troupe.

I work with a real jerk, can't stand him, don't even think he knows my name. Today he's suddenly the nicest guy here. Knows my name, knows everyone's name. He's playing the piano. Just saw him surprise a young couple with wrestlemania tickets.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

After the transporter accident that split actor Mark Leonard Nimoy into Leonard Nimoy and Mark Lenard, was it wrong for producers to leave them separated and not try to recombine them?

democrats voted to require freddy krueger to wear a glove with three claws instead of four. why aren’t you happy. why aren’t you grateful

I keep thinking about the scene in the 1990 film adaptation of "Hunt for Red October" in which the Soviet defectors talk about how great it's going to be when they get to America and they can travel from state to state without having to show papers.

Starfleet Academy is off to a solid and promising start and it has an inspiring message that's completely incompatible with subscribing to Paramount Plus.

Thrusters to maximum.

I don't know why anybody is still subscribed to Paramount Plus when all the other networks are showing a special extended edition of Deep Space Nine's Past Tense with previously unseen extra footage for free.

In a hurry, gonna just sing this instead of the entire 12 Days of Christmas.

Great pâté, but I'm gonna have to motor if I wanna be ready for that funeral.

What do you call a bounty hunter with a thing for bubble tea?

Be someone who is remembered like Alice Wong is being remembered, that's the goal.

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.

I am so sick of war metaphors in partisan politics. Drastic measures of last resort shouldn't be "the nuclear option." We're in this ship together: I want to hear a senator threaten to eject the warp core.

"ChatGPT, you are a senate aide designing an illustration for my floor presentation in which I will try to convince constituents that they are best served when I vote against their interest."

Or Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been in America since he was two years old. He was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him His health is declining, they won’t let him get his legs and they’ve placed him in solitary www.disabledginger.com/p/help-rodne...

I'm contemplating launching a satirical podcast with a variety show format that critically examines and dismantles the aesthetic superstructure of MAGAism. Picture a weekly podcast in which each episode takes on a different facet of our current hellscape. (1/5)

Open yourself to the healing power of AntiASMR

Dear Disney, If you're looking for a sales pitch, have you considered, "Tron: Ares has the best approval ratings!"?

Anybody in Portland know where I can get a Klingon costume and makeup so I can go downtown and tell some ICE petaQs that they have no honor?

This. These episodes are difficult but essential viewing these days.

Going to share links to recent coverage of ICE nightmare time in Chicago. It is REALLY BAD because the goons running the country hate this city a lot. Fuck em. Anyway, if you can, read about what they did to folks in South Shore = a metric fuckton of evil shit blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/02/s...
