Since I’ve gained some new followers here not from the old place, here’s a “me” primer: 90% of the time, I will only tweet/retweet about the following subjects and people, or things adjacent to said subjects. The other 10% of the time is random snark + occasional crass comments. That’s your warning

26 years in, and so far the 21st century is “exciting” in all the ways it should be boring, and (mostly) boring in all the areas where it should be exciting. I will not elaborate further.

Levar Burton was never cast as “the new Spock” or even a Spock like character. That was clear rage bait to get angry fans even angrier that Spock was now Black. Same shit 40 years ago as now. Only then, there was no internet bullhorn for the loudest assholes. (Denise Crosby was originally Troi tho)

The DC Comics house ad artwork for its ‘90s #StarTrek monthly comics were always better than they had any right to be. Jerome Moore (I think that’s his name?) did most of the covers for this era, and they were always poster worthy.

A lot of my fellow die-hard #WonderWoman fans do not like Tom King's current run, which I think has more to do with their feelings about the author than his work. But his first arc or two kicked ass IMO, and good lord, was it prescient to what's going on right now. bleedingcool.com/comics/tom-k...

Timeline cleanser; Vanity 6 performing “Nasty Girl” on Soul Train in January of 1983. They only do the first part of the song for obvious reasons. Remember, Soul Train aired after Saturday morning cartoons in most markets; they weren’t gonna have her say “I need 7 inches or more” right after Smurfs.

RIP Sal Buscema. If you grew up reading 80s/90s Spider-Man comics, then you are very familiar with his work. Never as celebrated as his older brother John, Sal nevertheless left his mark. Always a solid storyteller. Today would have been his 90th birthday.

YES. Please bring these back. I watched all 5 seasons of Discovery, and I don't know half the bridge crew's names. Who cares if it's an "old" TV convention? #StarTrek is old.

They’re in the nosebleeds, but tickets purchased. There’s only so much I’m willing to pay for a live podcast, even if it is my favrit’ goils. I wonder who the “special guest” is? I hope it’s Violet Chachki and she’s just a cunt to them for the whole show.

In the #Andor analogy of it all, I fully expected the IRL Ghorman would be NY, LA, or Boston, any place with what they consider “coastal elites” & at least 40% minorities. Never thought their worst plans would come to fruition in Minnesota. The optics of this is disastrous for all but hardcore MAGA*

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Law Roach reading a queen so hard on the runway, pretty much killing that bitch on stage, then medics come out, revive her ass, and he’s STILL all “Whatever, that look was trash tho” has to be a top 5 #DragRace moment.

I just realized (although I'm sure others have) that Superboy Prime & Kylo Ren are the same character. Both are unworthy inheritors of a great legacy, both are angry, entitled fanboys who want things to go back to "the way things were before," & both are insanely powerful. And both got redemption.

I did my monthly lurking on X to see the trainwreck… they are so SO angry over Sinners getting 16 nominations,& the He-Man trailer. The “For You” section if you have a blank account is just Elon being a full on Nazi, “End Wokeness,” sad dudes still praying for a Snyderverse return, & pro ICE posts
