Still trying to get that Twitter-high someplace that's not run by an X-hole. Obsessed fairly equally with #StarTrek, #StarWars, #Godzilla, and #Transformers. Stay-at-home dad, former science teacher.

I know it's not really the point, but hey man, a good way to avoid image-destroying sexual misconduct is to not treat your fanbase and subordinate employees like an a la carte hookup app.

Also his full name is Conan Antonio Motti because GL tossed that out on a whim during an appearance on Conan O’Brien and because of how canon worked at that time, they had to incorporate that in a novel that was in final-draft editing at the time!

According to the “From a Certain Point of View” anthology, he actually did file an HR complaint, and we get to read it 😂

tbh its super notable that with all the news tumbling like an avalanche coming down a mountain at Biden, Trump's campaign felt compelled to post this

Our old roommate took us to the nude beach as part of her long-term plan to seduce us. Pretty effective 👍

Project 2025 was from the Chris Rufo school of fascist communications, where you discuss your evil schemes out loud, confident the "normies" are not paying enough attention to notice.

But now it seems less politically engaged people are taking notice.

the science in the movie is...very bad! like PACIFIC RIM-bad. even for the 70s. and it Does Not Matter, for either of those movies, they're still great, it's just the vibe.

Yeah the changes to the main three serve plot, character, and actor all. Sometimes mid books make fantastic films.

The lingering hostility from the book versions of Brody and Hooper (the latter fucks the former’s wife!) adds some much needed spice to this sequence and breaks down their united front against Quint (who needles each perfectly and gets them to self-segregate by respective nautical ability)

The transporter even brainwashes people in PIC S3, and we learn it rebuilds people out of a common database of DNA instead of precise replication. Like GOTdamn what a stupid can of worms to open up 😂

The inspiration for the transporter was that the show couldn’t afford to have the ship land “Forbidden Planet” style. Then they kind of went into a blind corner with the technobabble and here we are, it kills you every time.

The presence of local talent, many of whom have no other credits, pays enormous dividends for the look and feel of the movie. The townies are real townies.

Now playing: Jaws AND HERE WE GO :D For me, it's the main event, the heavyweight championship round, the REAL fireworks presentation! Jaws is my fave movie, and I always gotta enjoy it on the 4th of July. I couldn't imagine the occasion without it. This jazz never, *ever* gets old, y'all. :) 🎥

I think telling people he goes to bed at 8 is actually way worse than actually going to bed at 8. This campaign seemingly by instinct leans into every punch and just takes it on the chin

I do not believe this is something to cop to, even (especially??) if it’s true, when you’re in an existential race against a guy who calls you “Sleepy Joe.” And honestly I have a hard time imagining this not leaking in ANY environment, and I’m not even president or a professional campaign-runner.

Happy 4th of July to four of my favorite Americans. The United States is built on & perpetuates itself with stolen land, genocide, imperialism, & human slavery. We outnumber the oligarchy, demand nothing less than total liberation. None of us is free until all of us is free.

If this is what the campaign has got up its sleeve…we’re cooked. And of course this was leaked. This is an adult saying to other adults, never mind that they’re all chief executives of a state or a nation-state, that the plan to avoid putting his feet in his mouth is to go to bed when the sun is up

Unfortunately, as most of us know deeply, people don’t vote for president, states do, and if the Democratic candidate is removed from the ballot in so much as one swing state then the game could end. I hope that we have learned not to rely on the disinterested and rapid action of US judges, also.

I respect your opinion if you want to chuck Biden (hell, fuck that guy) but if you think that this is an Actual Plan you are advancing I need to know how the ballot-deadline issue is being dealt with (in unsympathetic, partisan courts). I haven’t seen this yet.

i don’t necessarily agree that harris needs to become the nominee now (and don’t necessarily disagree, either), but the thing that spooks the absolute fucking bejesus out of me is that i do not trust the nation’s columnists to have the political instincts necessary to win a general election.
