I’m probably deleting this app. The world is too stupid right now.

Tubi has Babylon 5. It’s even more poignant today.

What this situation really needs is a bunch of people pointing out that Jimmy Fallon sucks. That’ll show the fascists.

I was at the library with the kids trying to decide which Ben Bova book to read and I was getting overwhelmed because there were so many to choose from and developed severe decision paralysis. Then my son let out the biggest fart you’ve ever heard. So I picked Uranus.

The worst episode of Babylon 5 is still like a B tier Trek episode.

Farts and prayers.

I was reading All The Birds In The Sky for Writing Excuses but it's starting to feel like an AI apology. Might have to DNF even though I'm enjoying the narrative overall.

I legit don’t even like Data anymore.

one unfortunate outcome of this recent AI scam bubble is that it has absolutely killed my interest in AI's in fiction. the Alien tv show doing the whole "is AI a human" routine we've been doing for the last hundred years but now I'm like no, it's a shitty chatbot that destroys fresh water

Borderlands 4 in 2 days!!!

Reader Reborn @readerreborn.bsky.social · Sep 9

Trekkies are so out of touch. And people in the comments saying "it's possible because I did it" 🙄🙄🙄

Kids have so many options that are quite frankly better than TOS and more suited to their attention spans now. If you wanna hook them young you need to make shows designed for them.

Love the vibrant #StarTrekScouts discussion

Adult Star Trek fan comments that they would hate Star Trek Scouts "even if they were 4 years old"

People online: “I love your books, but you should talk less about politics.”
Me: I’d love to but *gestures at the news* these people need to stop being twats.

The movie trope of ‘villain gets taken down by a big exposé in a newspaper’ gets more depressing every time I see it

I feel like Holly by Stephen King would be more popular if people knew it was about octogenarian cannibals.

Reader Reborn @readerreborn.bsky.social · Sep 7

If you’re a dad is either one silent?

yeah ok @poutinesmoothie.bsky.social · Sep 7

Imagine a world where the "n" is silent, not the "g", in bologna.

That’s the one! My wife got me into it.

Only just now heard #ThePaper is already renewed for season 2! That makes my heart happy.
