Since I’ve gained some new followers here not from the old place, here’s a “me” primer: 90% of the time, I will only tweet/retweet about the following subjects and people, or things adjacent to said subjects. The other 10% of the time is random snark + occasional crass comments. That’s your warning
Trying to doze off by watching a delightfully terrible 1978 episode of Super Friends… it’s technically Saturday morning now after all.

I couldn't get the funds together to go to the Anne Rice Celebration of Life in New Orleans this past November 1, but the entire event (plus some great documentary footage) is available for free on Anne Rice's official site. Not gonna lie, I got pretty teary-eyed watching it. 😢 annerice.com/COL.html

If Universal wanted to cash in on #Wicked, then instead of doing "Wicked 3," they should adapt Baum's second Oz book, "The Land of Oz." No one has ever properly adapted it. And they probably still won't, because the main male hero, Tip, becomes a girl at the end, & rules Oz. America would melt down.

This is Nazism. And the only reason some folks cannot see it is because they, themselves, are also dangerous fascists. This may be the most un-American statement ever uttered by a man currently serving as co-President of the United States. It spits in the face of everything America is.

I successfully manifested 75% of my most wanted physical media upgrades this year… so I have very few left. But if 2026 wants to give me these four that would be GREAT. I don’t even need Buffy or DS9 in 4K, I’ll happily take just regular old Blu-ray. (Man, do those old DVDs look like ass now)

Ok so I had to double check, but Holly Wheeler was a full on toddler in season one. Now she’s like, what, 12? I know, everyone has aged, but you can at least can kinda justify it because they’re adolescents. But Holly is giving me Pebbles Flintstone. They just skipped several years. #StrangerThings5

The scenes of everyone commiserating and coming up with strategies at the Hawkins radio station in #StrangerThings5 is giving me serious “Scooby gang in the Sunnydale High library formulating a plan to fight the Big Bad circa season 3” energy.

What I don’t understand is why they all just sit there and take it. The reporter should have walked out right away, and the rest of the reporters who were there should have gone with her in solidarity. It’s fucking inexcusable.
🚨DJT wins at one thing: He is the most crass and embarrassing person to ever represent at least half of the country - whether they would admit it or not. Too, nobody who is innocent of having misled the country intentionally acts like this.

They detained Marilyn from Northern Exposure?? Those motherfuckers.
Indigenous actress Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake
‘Northern Exposure’ actor gave ICE agents in Redmond her tribal ID. They called it ‘fake,’ she says

What a great listen for a Thanksgiving afternoon…. especially for those of us of a certain vintage. 👀 Host Pat Sajak sounds like he’s dying inside, Rue McClanahan does Cinderella as Blanche from Golden Girls, Miss America sings w/ the Care Bears, He-Man, She-Ra, cringe McDonalds ads, ‘85 was PACKED

I hope #StrangerThings5 does for this iconic bop what the last season did for Kate Bush. Diana deserves her moment.

Starting #StrangerThings. I love that it starts with a retcon origin story for how Will lost his gag reflex. He’ll thank Vecna as an adult gay man one day.

Trump, Vance, & especially Miller are popping champagne bottles right now over this tragedy. They deployed these National Guard troops en masse for the sole purpose of something like this happening, so the boot can come down harder on non-whites. And, also, to distract from the Epstein files

Folks, two things can true at the same time.
These 2 National Guard members should not have been shot, and it's a disgusting act of violence. And, Trump + Miller have deliberately deployed them to incite division { violence. That's part of Miller's plan. They have no reason to be in our cities.

National Guard members should never have been deployed in Washington, DC.

I never trusted straight guys when it comes to this. I made them all shower beforehand. In fact, I’d make them shower at my house so I knew for sure they did it. #TrueFacts 👀
