Nice to see things ramping up on this app. Mildly curious how this place picks up the pieces of what's left on the "other site."
As for me, I tend to post about cinema, horror games, apocalyptic ephemera etc. etc.
Also my cats, and occasional snapshots of life in the PNW.
Glad you're here.

picked up and read the four issue run this morning — even by 90s Dark Horse standards this ended up being an intense read. Lots of Alien: Earth backwards echoes. I wonder if some of this made its way into the mood board for that show.
That show so reminded me of these old Dark Horse comics.

it’s uncanny how the images and words that hang with us in life, from this or that movie or book, anticipate so many things better than any friend’s advice, or parent’s quiet nudge.
We were already always where we’d end up being, just set apart in time from the moment itself.

Netflix, which rarely carries a single movie from before 1980, wants you to know how thrilled they are to acquire that classic piece of franchise IP, Casablanca

in case you’re wondering how that SCOTUS birthright case is likely to go:
In his excellent biography of William F. Buckley Jr., Sam Tanenhaus notes that "as far as white Southerners were concerned, both the Fourteenth and the Fifteenth Amendments weren't really part of the Constitution." In 1957, Buckley called them "inorganic accretions" (p. 380).

these are powerful, important images. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself, @belgianboolean.bsky.social.
Hey folks, last weekend I talked a bit out my dad who was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. He took his own life a couple years back; and in the aftermath, mom found boxes of slides he took during his two tours (mostly '67). I'm scanning the slides and will post the standouts in this thread.

these first three issues are great, btw. Weird, disturbing, and pivots off the movie in unexpected ways.
More issues to come.
