DO NOT COMPLY. When I'm not railing against our criminal president and the dismantling of government, I like to talk about science fiction, Star Trek, comics, and pop culture.

I love hearing other folk's perspectives on things I love. Like a former coworker who loved the Star Wars prequels- he helped me understand and appreciate how everyone loves their introduction to a thing.

Rewatched Watchmen on HBO and it's one hell of a series, so well made, and even more meaningful 6 years later- it feels almost prescient.

I read a few Trek novels as a youngster, but as you say, generally the quality wasn't great. However I'd like to selectively go back and read some. I did think John Ford's The Final Reflection was excellent.

I do think these two captains would get along fine. 😄

Don't think I have seen that one before. Unusual cover for a Trek book.

You made my day with those books, Bill! I hope to return the favor.

Ha! Not sure about the side images on the Klingon packaging. But I love that you carried those pics in your wallet!

Sickening...how much longer are we going to put up with this brutality?

If this stuff would end up on the news it would absolutely motivate voters. Plenty of people who don't give a shit about politics would absolutely give af about this.

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

I have a new video up, where I talk about the novelization of the 2nd Planet of the Apes film, and also share some great stuff I received from friends.

With the super moon tonight, it seems appropriate to watch Curse of the Werewolf!

She has a Liz Taylor look going on there, although no one looked as good as Liz at her best.

Until he talks about shooting the children with no shoes on their feet. What's his problem? 😆

Those things are frequently on my mind.

On one hand, I don't believe this current regime of hate and lawlessness will last, because it is so transparent and so many of us oppose it. That doesn't make it any easier to get through each day, though.

I love The Fog! It is definitely under-rated.

After getting such a great gift of Planet of the Apes books today, I decided to put on the quirkiest Apes film, Beneath. I love this wackadoo film.

Thanks for reminding me to schedule mine! Hang in there, pal!

Tana Nile @tananile.bsky.social · 14d

What a wonderful surprise! My pal @spyvinyl.bsky.social said he had a spare Planet of the Apes novelization for me. But I got this huge box in the mail. Besides the book, it was packed with a ton of POTA comics! By the Lawgiver, that's ape-mazing! Thanks, Bill!
