Finally watched the first two episodes of #starfleetacademy and I loved it. From that lovely character who was stumbling around in shock and sensory overload, mumbling "red alert" to the Klingon med student chanting "don't kill your instructor on day one". Relatable character moments we're lovely.

Beautiful sunset last night. The hound was not impressed. I'm so glad I moved to Canada. #beautifulbritishcolumbia

Think of the most random TV show you can possibly think of. Now post a gif of it.

Super accurate.

Canada: Our Prime Minster studied at Oxford and Harvard, was the Governor of both the Banks of England and Canada, and is recognized as one of the sharpest financial minds around. America: oh yeah? Our guy has to take dementia tests every week.

So my wonderful Canadian wife, who isn't into sci-fi at all, bought me a model of the #Nostromo from #alienmovie for Christmas. It now lives, pride of place, on my work desk so I'm reminded of her love each day. #relationshipgoals

So my wife got me a gift card to our local hobby store which I think will go towards a #warhammer40k #Fellblade. I loves me some big models to paint up in the #BloodAngels scheme. I can imagine the look on the hobby store lady's face when I order it and that brings me joy.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

This is for those who prefer their Christmas with a little extra #Lovecraft: 12 maddening visions 11 kings in yellow 10 Pickman's models 9 sunken temples 8 dholes a digging 7 deep ones swimming 6 stars aligning 5 elder signs 4 dusty tomes 3 mi-go 2 byakhee eggs And a Prophecy of the world's end.

Pay no attention to the Epstein files behind the curtain.

Watching Gilmore Girls for the first time with my wife. They're all horrible people with the exception of Babette and Miss Patty. I'm convinced that Stars Hollow is an experimental prison for sociopaths. They're all entitled master manipulators and Rory should have been strangled at birth.

Woke up this morning to this view. Isn't it horrible? #beautifulbritishcolumbia

Dress for the job you want

The episode of Space:1999 called Dragon's Domain. The way it swallowed them whole and spat out corpses creeped me out for ages. Really strong stuff for 1970's afternoon TV in the UK.

Mine has to be the Duderstadt class from Picard Season 3. I've never seen a starship look so angry.

I can highly recommend this BBC radio comedy for its brilliant take on Dickensian tales and a bonkers sense of humour. #bleakexpectations

So did I miss the inevitable TACO tantrum this morning after the Nobel committee announced the winner of the Peace prize? Haven't seen any comment from The Lyin' King or the Department of Propaganda.

So the temperature this morning when I let the hound out was minus 4 centigrade. It did mean that the sky was really clear so I snapped a picture of the constellation of Orion and a snap of the moon. #moon #skyfullofstars #orion

If you see this, post a pet.

Yeah, so this happened... #genx #80smusic

Today I realised that I'm "I remember the original cast of Rentaghost" years old. #feelingold #ukkidstv #genx

Jesus Houdini Christ, this is great.

Beautiful sunset the other night. Nothing at all to do with the wildfire smoke that's been hanging around. #bcinterior #beautifulbritishcolumbia

Ripley excels at napping. #dogsofbluesky #gooddog

If you see this post a Knight. #40k #warhammercommunity

So the #whitehouse set the flag at half mast to honor the victims of a mass shooting. If they do that for each mass shooting it'll never be at full mast again.

I realised that I'm much older than I thought when visiting the UK from rural Canada. I turned on BBC Radio 2 thinking it would be like coming back to an old comfortable blanket of nostalgia. First song was by KPop Demon Hunters. It was with a resigned sigh that I tuned to BBC Radio 4 instead.

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one photograph of tiny painted toy Soldiers to convince people to follow you. #ironhands #warhammer40k

Flew back to the UK in Premium Economy on British Airways and can honestly say that I'm now ruined for travel in the future. So much room, food was great and a lot of space to recline. Also, my bum didn't start to go numb until six hours into the flight! Well done @britishairwayteam.bsky.social

Was referred to a specialist orthodontist in a city two hours away for root canal as it was too complex for my dentist. Came out of the appointment and wife asks how I feel. I explain it feels like I just had my jawline reamed by a needle file for 90 minutes. She justifiably branded me cranky pants.

Ahriman, Chief Sorceror of the #thousandsons is complete. I leaned heavy on the eldritch green light because what's the point in being an all powerful Sorceror if you don't glow green? #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k

So I'm sat having breakfast with my wife in the diner in town. Suddenly I overhear a group of guys in the corner booth discussing cold fusion and theoretical physics. I can't help feeling that I'm trapped in the Blue Plate Special picture. There some serious Twilight Zone shit happening.

Human Artists! Use one piece to convince people to follow you!

Progress on painting Ahriman has been slow because of roughly six million miles of gold trim on the damn model. Nearly there, just the gloss varnish, oil washes and some osl glow to do. #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #thousandsons

In today's Gaming Announcements, New DLC for 'Call of Duty' - 'Illegal Deployment: LA'

What the actual shimmering fuck is going on in the US? TACO has sent in the Marines to LA? What, the heavily armed National Guard, DHS, LAPD and ICE weren't enough? No crayon will remain unchewed in Los Angeles after this, mark my words.

Billie Piper's Doctor should have Christopher Eccleston as a companion. Imagine the salt that would flow from the die hards. #doctorwho

I just heard about the sad loss of Peter David. The New Frontier books were my favorite Star Trek novels. Mackenzie Calhoun being a bad ass captain leading a ship full of sassy people was so much fun to read.

WIP on Ahriman. I've finished all the airbrushing, now to get going with the endless gold trim! #warhammer40k

Me: *stares into the abyss* The Abyss: HEY! This isn't a peep show, you know! Me: Sorry, I'll go scream into the void instead. The Void: The fuck you will, I'm about to take a nap. Me: Well, that's today all fucked up. Cthulhu: So, hey, can I interest you in madness and despair? Me: I'm listening.

Calling all Trekkies!! Show me one picture that perfectly embodies your aura.

Hey Ya by Outkast. That fucking song was on the radio every 30 minutes in the UK. By the end of a 12 hour shift, I was ready to watch the world burn.

Quite with the energy you bring to Bluesky.

Who are the five writers who made you? James Herbert Terry Pratchett Stephen King Margaret Weiss & Tracy Hickman Roald Dahl

You guys have fucked up so bad you made Quebec patriotic

To anyone who needs to hear it today, you're worthy, you're interesting and you're more beautiful than you think. Pass it on.

I go back and forth from "WTF did he do now?" and "I'm done paying attention; just tell me when he's dead."
