New Hungry Trilobyte! Dan Henk and I talk about using scifi to confront trauma, plus the timely topics of horror and anthology fiction— and we both think anthology fiction is due for a comeback.

Couldn’t get rung up at the used DVD shop because the cashier was stuck on a phone call… with someone apparently panicked over not being able to find a copy of “Road House”.
She hung up and said “I just didn’t know what to tell them…”
Me: “Pain don’t hurt?”

There's no time in space, but somehow, that doesn't apply to intergalactic truck stops. By the laws of physics, even these have a 3AM. Even if there's no "time" as you might measure it on Earth, there's still a 3AM, still a lonely-ass stretch, and still a 100% probability of getting a Cliff. /1

I grew up at the very tail end of when local kiddie shows were viable. I remember watching the last years of this show, which was kind of a blend of Captain Kangaroo & Mr Rogers

Me literally every day:
1. Wake up.
2. Tally everything that has to be done.
3. Be given more surprises due to other people’s failure to plan.
4. Panic.
5. Realize it’s manageable if I don’t do everything at once, and I owe no one an apology for being human.
6. Forget #5 while I sleep.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the hideous ubiquity of AI slop I strongly recommend looking at breathtaking art that predates the written word and crying at the enduring beauty of human creativity for a bit.

As a child of the 80s and 90s, it still kind of shocks me to see a movie studio want to solve a continuity issue in a way that makes sense.
Aren’t they just supposed to make whatever sells action figure, and let us fans argue about the specifics for the next 20 years?

Easy. Make the next James Bond movie as normal, but there are zeppelins to signal that this is an Alternate Universe.

The GFRobot article about Star Trek fans being majority male/conservative is still going around several days later, so I was to say 1) don't click on it or they will "write" more just like it & 2) the site is known trash.

If you ever wonder if our little corner of fandom matters, just remember that we have a literal Bond villain having a meltdown because he clearly doesn’t understand a single scifi movie he’s ever watched.

My Junior year of college, I took a course in logic, and I opted to do a half-hour presentation on fallacies.
“Fallacious” was a word I’d read many, many times, but never said out loud. I mispronounced it.
And consequently spent 30 minutes unintentionally making dick jokes.

My mum just said to me "You should be hung like a horse". When I challenged her over saying such a thing, it transpires she thought it was a punishment horses got. Turns out she's been incorrectly using the phrase since the 90s in various settings
