I enjoy it but boy does it speculate a lot.

THREADS (1984) Nuclear War Fan Trailer

Virgil 'Raptor' Reese @vrreese.bsky.social · 1d

Latest fan trailer for one of my favorite post apocalyptic nightmares is done. This was a challenge to put together, but I couldn't be happier with how this turned out.

Enjoyed Alien Earth even more on my second watch. This is definitely not what I expected or wanted, and a few years ago I would have hated this. But with time and perspective, I appreciate it more when risks are taken, and these characters and their journey really grew on me.

I loved Avatar 2 and her character was a big reason for that.

Age yourself with a film you saw in the cinema as a kid.

I'm reading Gentleman Jim by Raymond Briggs, and he's not exactly subtle with his feelings about the police.

Isn't home cooking the best? I just perfected my Sloppy Joes recipe.

Ya know, I actually got to see Paul Mccartney live! Sometimes I forget that. Man, that was a pretty cool night.

Ooh. Now I'm excited. Astin is not in the original sadly but still a good ride.https://youtu.be/txfdGlxEsG8?si=08rqGdOSrrfwNfih

Attack is also good. Haven't seen Strike Back or Eat France yet (yes there are four tomatoes movies)

I introduced a friend to Firefly and this in short order. She loved it! But she was traumatized by...that scene.

Yeah. Alternate timelines are fine. Good even as they really allow creators to stretch their legs without constraints. More series should be willing to try it so long as they have interesting stories to tell.

Trump Digs In On Anti-Trans Provisions In Shutdown Fight Message

Virgil 'Raptor' Reese @vrreese.bsky.social · 11d

Keeping it weird.

Virgil 'Raptor' Reese @vrreese.bsky.social · 12d

My thoughts on the first season of Alien Earth. Still not up there with the first three and isn't as Alien focused as I would have liked. But I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested to see where it goes.

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally.

Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people.

His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority.

The provisions are becoming a key sticking point in the ongoing fight to keep the government open.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement

An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.
