DO NOT COMPLY. When I'm not railing against the criminal administration and the assault on our rights, I like to talk about science fiction, Star Trek, comics, and pop culture.
Man, the Soft Parade is such a dreadful album, you wonder how anyone involved thought it was a good idea. Oh yeah, drugs.
If you love 2001, or just have an academic interest in it, you must listen to this podcast! And check out Ayesha's other episodes. She is curating a wonderful experience of SF films thru time.

I like it! The bass and drums have moved up in the mix, and everything sounds sharper/clearer. The outtakes are my favorite part. Love hearing how songs develop. #Beatles
This was supposed to be my Beatles Rubber Soul Special Edition CD set. But...instead I got an empty envelope. It doesn't look like it was ever sealed. Anyway, a replacement is coming tomorrow. Tomorrow never knows. (I know, wrong album.)
Mail call: I'm feeling 10 years old again! Especially excited to have Acroyear join my little corner of the Microverse. Thanks, #Super7.
Absolutely thrilled with this glorious book on 2001:A Space Odyssey from Taschen. A beautiful presentation and wonderful photos, artwork, and behind the scenes stuff. And I haven't even read anything yet!
I know the "monster maroon" uniforms were supposedly dyed versions of the STTMP pajama uniforms, but it just clicked with me that Saavik's robe from the turbolift scene in TWOK was probably Ilia's robe, tailored slightly. #StarTrek
"It's always, 'Try auxiliary power,' like I wouldna think of that meself!"
Watching Spock mind meld with the probe inside V'Ger, and my photos captured an image of Ilia on Spock's face as he screams. The visuals in STTMP, especially the director's cut, are outstanding.
Rewatched The Dead Zone, an absolutely stunning film, and the ending is more poignant than ever. IYKYK.
Top Shelf Friday time, what's a comic in your collection that you love? ❤️ This week, a new pickup, King-Size Special Hulk #1 (1968) #TopShelfFriday #comicbooks
Doc Strange strikes again! That's right, my friend and yours, @docstrange.bsky.social , sent me two fantastic sword and sorcery books! Check out those amazing covers! Many thanks, Billy!
@docstrange.bsky.social listened to your Highlander episode this morning, and you and Kirby did a great job on this fun 80s movie! Clancy Brown's Kurgan was always a highlight for me. He had so many great lines. "I'm Candy." "Of course you are."

Tonight’s digital read, Avengers #105 (1972)
Was watching a video where a guy was talking about recent casting news for Marvel's X-Men movie, and he said they were looking for someone to play a "Native American male, so that of course brings Forge to mind," and I thought, No, that brings Thunderbird to mind! And realized I am old.
Reading the excellent Star Trek IV book by the Tenutos and digging into the whole 'Eddie Murphy almost starred in STIV' story. I had never heard all the details before - we really dodged a bullet! Sounds like a prototype for The Nutty Professor!
