Today's film was The Thing (1982). I can't believe this is the first time I've seen this. The Thing slaps.

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but if you didn’t know any geek girls in high school or you don’t know any now it’s because they didn’t trust you and you’re *NOT A SAFE PERSON* for women to be themselves around.

okay grandpa, let's get you to bed

To understand this problem, first, you have to understand the demographics of Star Trek viewers. Trekkies are and always have been men. Women are not usually interested in science fiction, but that’s doubly true of Star Trek in particular.

I hear you, random guy who once knew some lady who watched every Voyager episode. I see you on Instagram, attractive girl cosplaying in Starfleet miniskirts. Unfortunately, you very cool Trek-girls are the exception, not the rule.

I can only conclude that the author of the article has been drinking paint for years to write something that unhinged.

Eh, I'm not sure I would want a movie with Dancing in the Street era Bowie and Jagger together. They made each other worse around then.

Y’all, I am begging you to not give into rage-baiting.
Bluesky doesn’t have an algorithm. The only way anyone will see a post from someone they don’t follow on bluesky is if it’s replied to or reposted.

The way we beat trolls here is to starve them out. Block them and move on.

I have now watched 17 of Kurosawa's 30 films.

Tonight's film was The Idiot (1951). As a film that was shot and edited to be a 4hr 25m film, then had 99 mins cut out to make it 2hrs 46m, it feels like half a film and too damn long at the same time. I'm not usually a fan of Russian literature, and even Kurosawa couldn'tmake it work for me.

Also remember: trolls make money off of your interactions. They monetize that shit. Block them and drive them into penury.

Evan Dorkin @evandorkin.bsky.social · 8d

Block fascists. There's no reasoning or arguing with them, you might as well debate with spoiled leftovers. Don't let them bait you. Block fast, block often, block fascists. Let their accounts mummify.

Today's film was my daughter's favourite movie, Look Back (2024). A beautiful and devastating film, well worth watching. I'm really glad @bees1000.bsky.social shared it with me.

If you're still on Spotify, then I seriously question your judgement at this point. They have been funnelling their money into war profiteering and AI for a while now. Switch to Deezer or Tidal and stop supporting this gross company.

It sure was fun spending five minutes blocking all the US government accounts. Make sure you do your part and block them today!

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.
