[Thread of threads]
I'd forgotten I'd made threads as soon as I got here. It wasn't very practical, but I couldn't help myself. 😅
Until I have a system for grouping them on my profile, like on the other network, I'll gather them here. 🖖

Thanks to the great team at @fauconpod.bsky.social for inviting me onto their podcast. It's always cool to chat with fellow Star Wars fans—especially in my native language for once. 😁

"Collaborating on a project with a team is a shared effort and a constant stimulation. There is a “reassuring” side to working for someone; I find it less stressful. Basically, you’re not alone."

Star Trek: The Motion Picture was released 46 years ago today.
This film is truly unique within this franchise. I understand that it may not be the most accessible, but I love its tension, mystery, atmosphere, and curiosity.

Sorry for spamming again. Apparently I misunderstood something or they changed something, but the Only-Games discount ends on December 8th. So you still have a chance to use the 30% discount.

I have already written to my future descendants, and I realized later that I could summarize my pages in a single cartoon by Tom Toro, published in 2012 in The New Yorker, which remains one of my favorites.

Peter Hyams' 2010: The Year We Make Contact was released 41 years ago today.
Generally hidden (not to say forgotten) in the shadow of Kubrick's illustrious film, this sequel is nonetheless a highly successful sci-fi movie. There's just no point in comparing it to 2001.

IXION was released 3 years ago today!
This wonderful space station management sim by French studios Bulwark has consumed several of my nights since then. 🤗
BTW I am currently finishing the layout of an article that looks back at the creation of this game and its spaceships.

Thread on how to detect ai in that viral dog video
Yeah, I mean, I'm critical of any video nowadays that is trying to elicit an emotional response, especially when it's asking for subs at the end. It's weird that all the people seem to end up with the dog they want. And shelters are overflowing, where are the rooms full of people wanting to adopt?
