Some truly impressive futuristic lettering in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century

On New Old Doctor Who Eve, we’ve decked the halls with Varga Plants, decorated Sentreal with bright and shiny emms of Taranium and poured a glass to wish a merry Dalek-mas to all of you at home. Let the nightmare begin!

"Attack of the 50 Foot Woman" (1958) received a retro update c/o "Monsters vs. Aliens" (2009). As part of the movie's initial publicity this mini-poster featuring Ginormica was available to download from the official website. #giantess #scifiart #scifi #Sizesky

You can fire an attorney general if you’re dissatisfied???? Why didn’t anyone tell Biden

This book lays out in a very simple manner why everyone should have the right to choose. The unlikely pairing of the two protagonists is surprising but truly refreshing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just a few more hours until two "new" episodes of The Daleks' Master Plan are available to view. That said, I'm still bitter about the fact that we never got to see the pilot's "space playing cards" that were supposed to appear in Day of Armageddon!

You know what blows my mind? How often "trans people in sports" arguments end up with the transphobe saying Random Cis Man would beat Serena or Venus Williams at tennis because of unspecified "advantages." No, dude, you are not defeating a Williams sister at tennis. Ever. Under any circumstances.

Well Done Angus reckons the solution to being reliant on oil is to magically produce more oil. Electricity produced by renewables seems beyond his understanding, or beyond the parameters of his corporate owners. #AusPol

Trans day of visibility is over, engaging cloaking device

For your Easter reading pleasure, my latest Substack missive is live. THE EVIL TOUCH, Australia’s lost horror anthology television series, and the lostness of television visual culture in the 1960s and 1970s. With a nod to @bobfischer.bsky.social andrewnette.substack.com/p/ghost-mess...

As a good Doctor Who fan I’ve got into the habit of rolling my 'R's when calling our dogs for breakfast (“Brrrrrrreakfast!”), to the point where they don’t really respond when I say the word normally

Paul Thomas Anderson‘s One Battle After Another: the film we got Paul W.S. Anderson‘s OBAA: the same, but with way more high kicks Wes Anderson‘s OBAA: the same, but symmetrical Gerry Anderson‘s OBAA: puppets

The whole world will be your enemy, prince with a thousand enemies. And when they catch you, they will smash you with a hammer. But first they must catch you.

THE PRODUCERS (1967) The premiere was a disaster & the studio considered shelving it. Then Peter Sellers placed an ad in Variety supporting the film & it never looked back. #MelBrooks

When Kirk and McCoy are on trial for murder in a Klingon courtroom and McCoy cracks a joke that gets a laugh from just one unseen guy up in the gallery. That's why I watch Star Trek.

Ha. In Germany in the late 60s gas stations decided showing Diana Rigg in a bikini was a good idea (not ads, just short films). I guess from a commercial point of view ads make more sense bc customers will hurry along and leave quickly whereas the Rigg thing had some hanging around too long 😅

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

That's right

When Trump couldn’t get Congress to pass the SAVE Act to federalize elections, he just ignored Congress and signed an executive order. Again. And now we are back to the courts with more lawsuits. Again. Non-stop chaos is his brand.

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

My company just had our lowest sales for the month of March since 2019, the second year we were in business. Unless you sell gasoline or other necessities, it is *wild* to be in business right now. You own government is deliberately and unnecessarily destroying the economy.

A 12th-century “Warder” from the Lewis Chessmen—the medieval equivalent of a rook. Discovered in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland but likely carved in Norway around 1150–1200, these pieces reveal the artistry and reach of the Norse world.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility, on which we are also celebrating our 5th Wedding Anniversary.

If the internet has done anything positive it's the fact that social media has greatly diminished the crazy cat-lady stereotype. Men realized that cats are pretty great actually and are way more open/public about having them as pets while being single. Naturally, that means it's good and normal now.

“If you see at least twelve sci-fi movies this year, make sure this is one of them.”

Happy TOSS Birthday to Howard A Anderson Jr, who, along with his brother, formed the Anderson Company, and created much of the special effects for the series. They were in on the ground floor of the show, and remained throughout it's entire run. #TOSSatNight

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility!!! 🏳️‍⚧️ Im a bit of a nervous wreck because its a bloodwork day, and the vampires will be testing for a serious genetic illness. But I'm still doing my best to spread love and positivity!!!! 😽💕💞

It’s funny when a movie disappears from the zeitgeist. Nightflyers (1987) is a spooky sci-fi/horror starring 80s icon Catherine Mary Stewart and with an aesthetic best described as Star Trek: MTV, and it’s almost as tho it never existed. Even TV Tropes doesn’t have a page for it!

The golden days of apolitical Star Trek has got to be the weirdest retcon since everyone claimed silent movies were just ladies tied to tracks.

DREAMSCAPE (1984) Dir. Joseph Ruben Yes it feels very much of its time yet it remains a fun ride. Blending horror action and sci fi with conspiracy elements it is buoyed by a charming yet smarmy Dennis Quaid and Kate Capshaw..and that snake-man still fuels nightmares for those who saw it too young🎞️📽️

Is there a more tumultuous career than that of Miles Edward O'Brien? #StarTrek #StarTrekMemes #TrekMemes

Just another public service announcement: don’t forget to periodically check to make sure you are still registered to vote in your state. Particularly married women.. they are trying their best to suppress our vote and/or make sure our voices are squashed.🗳️
