This thread is absolutely spot-on, I used to sell these guys their Larry Niven or Robert Anton Wilson novels (or comic books/Locus/StarLogs) in my youth in the book/comic trade and these were the customers you Did Not Engage with. The crackpot theories about "when/if I'M in charge" leaked out 24/7.

SUPER INFRAMAN IS FINALLY INCLUDED THIS IS NOT A DRILL

short but thrilling ride today serves to remind us all that these things are TV shows that were watched by literal millions and millions of people, there are fans everywhere, and no, they don't all know each other. Fandom is a thing no one person or club or gang is in charge of.

he's a deal killer for me.

True story: two ppl by the pool today told me they avoided taking a boat trip off-island because we're near Venezuela and they'd seen the Trump snuff films on X

the Russians tried this already, it doesn't work

some of the fascinating commentary that's made blogging such a relevant and innovative space

we lost Mister Kitty because some clown at our host clicked a box when they shouldn't have. We almost said "to hell with it" because it was a big hassle fixing somebody else's problem. Real talk: if we didn't have that direct Patreon support, we might have walked away, so big props to our supporters

just to add my two cents about physical media - your favorite website, streamer, or online archive could vanish tomorrow due to any number of deliberate or accidental actions on the part of any number of people or organizations. Physical media? You have to destroy it YOURSELF

Chanting, "we are the body of Christ! The body of Christ will be free!"
