Not gonna lie... this episode is all over the place (in a good way), but I'm so much more proud of this cover art than anything I said on the podcast itself 😌

Mike and Joe are back from the World Between Worlds to talk about their favourite stuff that's not Star Wars, but is totally Star Wars, ya know? Like The Last Starfighter, Mass Effect, TRON, and The Fifth Element.

This is an excellent piece by @eccantwell.bsky.social.

"He is pushed out of his seat by nothing, by a shadow—by the flicker of a suggestion that his feminine double is still out there, waiting to build him an arched pathway along which he could float freely."

"Other superhero films may claim to be grim, but in BATMAN RETURNS we have something that delivers an underbelly of actual darkness: discolored bodily fluids, thrillingly unhealthy psychosexual games, raw fish, toxic sewage, and a semi-catatonic hero who barely speaks."

More recent superhero films may claim to be grim, but Tim Burton's 'Batman Returns' delivers an underbelly of actual darkness.

i think some of what’s happening here is many cishet white leftists inadvertently revealing their belief that LGBTQ people only care about ourselves and that progressive policy is a zero-sum game. marginalized people who are accustomed to banding together for survival often don’t see it that way

Yes. The “guys, tone it down with the trans stuff, it’s not polling well” is just beyond stupid. They should be staunchly supportive and ALSO focus more on things like deploying the military against citizens and cost of living.

Most Dems know someone trans and want them alive and well and free.

Proud to say that I have single-handedly impeded Newsom by pointing out that the primary is three years away, there are other candidates, and in a democratic process, we debate candidates

ACIP is meeting September 18-19 so it will likely become available at pharmacies w/o a prescription then, unless ACIP pulls the rug out.

Prescription requirement related to state laws requiring ACIP approval for pharmacist administration.
