Another case of the Umbrella rule: if you see it, repost it.

Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, HP, LOTR, Marvel.

This is a dance off. If you see this, repost a dance, or you're eliminated.

@maklelan.bsky.social‬ Today's episode reminded me that the composer Vangelis (Blade Runner, Chariots of Fire) wrote a soundtrack for a 1973 French TV series called "L'Apocalypse des animaux". I'm going to have to track down my copy of the album. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nR2...

For reference, public urination is only a misdemeanour. So it's safer to go outside than in.

Quick! What kinda scientist would you want to be?

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts. It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long. www.filemail.com/d/wkcdttnacp...

Repost if you support trans people and think we're neato

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Doctor Who", or "Transformers".

Repost time. :)

If you don't click through to the thread: Jordan has put together this excellent image. I may have to make it up as a sticker for my laptop...

@99pi.org The discussion of how taxes shaped architecture reminded me of the Orpheum Theatre here in Vancouver, BC. The grand theatre entrance is on Granville Street, which was the big market street in the city a century ago when it was built. But the entrance is only 7.5m wide (about 24 ft)...

Remember the scene where Sean Connery kills the political officer before launching his bid for freedom in "The Hunt for Red October"?

An @mtsw.bsky.social observation I think about a lot is that future generations absolutely will not believe that Immortan Joe predated the Trump presidency

I’ve been haunted ever since the moment I noticed this

Trump keeps talking about "America First", but how can he be taken seriously when he outsources his MAGA hats to China and his gulag to El Salvador?

Counterpoint: there was no rationale for citizens united, and Elon Musk is literally everything its critics warned about coming to fruition.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in theaters

Calling yourself a king doesn't make you a king. But there was a time when even the suggestion that you might want to call yourself a king would get the Senate to stab you a couple of dozen times.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Fun fact: Trump's "Gulf of America" proclamation defines the Gulf of America as the "US Continental Shelf area bounded to the northeast, north, and northwest by TX, LA, MI, AL, and FL, extending to the maritime boundary with Mexico and Cuba". Which describes 23% of the Gulf of Mexico.

America’s absence is China’s opportunity.

If I lose followers over this, why the fuck were you following me lmao Get bent

Canadian MP Charlie Angus while vowing to call Trump's trade war bluff on CNN just now, "This isn't gunboat diplomacy (laughs). I mean, this is like an Al Capone shakedown in his syphilis phase."

I mean just holy fucking shit at this point. Shocked but not surprised. But shocked. We should all be.

#Andor continues to be relevant.

Just in case anyone following me might be interested... @nstra.bsky.social is making a documentary about my late friend, Canadian electronic musician Nash the Slash, and need donations to finish the film. If you're interested at all, consider donating at gofund.me/5c91fecd.

Every time Trump's "annex Canada" idea comes up, I think of when my partner & I were sitting on a bench by Vancouver's Inner Harbour, and a majestic Bald Eagle flew overhead to land on the roof above us. Five seconds later it reappeared, flapping desperately, pursued by two furious Canada geese.

So, #PaulKrugman gets it right. Donald Trump wants you to die. And you can say hey, this is about establishing control, exercising power in a new Administration, blah-blah-blah. The end result is human suffering and yes, death. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

@erindees.me Here are the space pride things I was showing earlier.
