[Thread of threads]
I'd forgotten I'd made threads as soon as I got here. It wasn't very practical, but I couldn't help myself. 😅
Until I have a system for grouping them on my profile, like on the other network, I'll gather them here. 🖖

I realize that I have accumulated quite a few images of recent fictional spacecraft that I cannot show on social networks because their existence is TheSecret in several recent films and TV shows. 😅
I'm going to end up creating a separate category: Schrödinger's ships.

Has anyone here successfully "automatically" migrated their Twitter archives (tweets, threads) on BSky? If so, what processes worked?
I know that some people have managed to copy their own Twitter feed, keeping the dates of the OG tweets.

Forbidden Planet (1956)
Nice picture of the set, where the top of the United Planets Cruiser C-57D is not yet hidden (or...brought to life) by a mattepainting (from matte supervisor Warren Newcombe's team).

What was your #childhoodcinema
The Pathé cinema in Maisons-Laffitte (France), which closed when I was very young.
But that's where I saw Spielberg's E.T. when I was 3 or 4 years old, I cried a lot at the end of that aisle, and without that, I probably wouldn't be managing this account.

[Thread] I saw High Life (2018), an indie film by Claire Denis starring Robert Pattinson, Mia Goth, and Juliette Binoche.
It's the story of a spaceship carrying prisoners serving life sentences (child murderers, rapists, etc.) that heads towards a black hole to test an energy extraction process.

Starfleet Academy's huge advantage is the confidence of the previous Paramount administration, which ordered two seasons from the outset (filming for the 2nd season began in August).
I would have loved for The Acolyte to have had such an advantage. A real waste of potential, and no second chance.

Every day, thousands of women and children are victimized by people on X using the Grok chatbot to generate scantily clad and naked photos of them.
It’s time for governments to take action. Elon Musk’s X should have been banned long ago. They don’t have an excuse to delay any longer.
