My small hometown has a group fundraising for phone cards for ICE detainees at the local jail. It would be awesome if we could surprise them with a bomb of support. Please give what you can and/or RT this post. givebutter.com/AbideSteGen

Hey guys, bad news about my upcoming appearance on Brightsiders. On the one hand, I wish this would have happened before I got on the plane and missed my brother’s wedding. On the other hand, we don’t hold grudges in the Bright community. It’s not what Daryl and Nick would have wanted.

Gaius (from Tribunate) @gaius.bsky.social · Aug 18

Sad news everyone, I’m officially pulling the plug on Brightsiders, my super fan podcast for the 2017 movie Bright. I still feel like there were many interesting topics left to discuss but after 7 years of weekly episodes I’ve learned that no one has ever listened to the show.

Day #139: Fish Police (1992)

A teal lunchbox with a white handle, with an undersea tableau of a city skyline and taxi, with sea creatures dressed in 1940's/50's film noir outfits, including a fish in a trench coat, and devious-looking squid. Next to it is a white thermos with a teal lid, and image of a smirking fish in a fedora and trenchcoat next to the words "Fish Police"

Remember when 42 year old Kenny Rogers had so much fucking pine tar it covered his entire pitching hand?

That was when baseball was baseball.

If you are interested in old New York gay history, watch old episodes of The Emerald City, the first TV show made for gay and trans people. 1977, right before AIDS. My old film teacher Gene Stavis produced and interviewed in it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=2eQW...
