I followed both Munroe's from #TheExpanse VFx team because they were fantastic. Even more than the Cant's flip and burn, we now see the launching of the Navoo at Eros.
@abraham.bsky.social Yeah, I'm in season 2 and one episode away from one of the best episodes of the whole show.

Very well done season 2 of #ManOnTheInside.

I will have a question later about the Spirit Week episode, but as the season hasn't been out very long, I won't spoil anything yet, even though it's not about the plot.

I have been doing my best not to wish people dead anymore, because that's really kind of evil.
But holy crap am I getting close for the people in this administration.

To recap—Trump pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of receiving millions in bribes & partnering with cocaine traffickers to flood American streets with drugs, but to protect American streets from being flooded with drugs, he has to mass murder innocent fisherman with impunity.

Watching #TheExpanse and remembering when my wife made a joke about Miller's player causing the GM headaches by insisting on starting alone and @abraham.bsky.social sheepishly raised his hand.
To be clear, my wife once ran a campaign online with like 4 independent storylines and PCs not together.

That first flip and burn in #TheExpanse wows me every time.
Yes, we are doing another re-watch, having just finished a #12Monkeys re-watch. There's probably a #Killjoys in our near future, too.

Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1

Now re-watching the series finale of #12Monkeys @terrymatalas.bsky.social
And there may be things I will spoil about the show, but I don't think I will ever spoil what the ultimate solution is. Even like 10 years on. That's a thing first time watchers should learn on their own.

Once you accept Judge Hodgman's axiom - "People like what they like, and people don't like what they don't like" - you realize arguing about opinions is stupid, but can also be fun if done correctly.
There is no "Best Song" or "Best Movie".
Except for Triumph's Magic Power and My Cousin Vinny.

Not sure if that is just because I want more Emma Thompson or not.

after experimenting for a while I have to say the “followers only” reply setting is absolutely worth it
I still get nonsense; at this account size that’s pretty unavoidable
what I get less of is open hostility, surprisingly few people are willing to follow you in order to leave a rude reply
