Got my David Tennant and Billie Piper pages in the 900 Year Diary all stickered up!

Brilliant.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

I live in Arizona. I got my covid and flu shot on the same day last weekend. No questions asked, which is how it should be.

You’ll now be able to get an updated coronavirus shot in every state without a prescription, according to the American Pharmacists Association.

CVS and Walgreens have stated you won’t need to attest to any underlying conditions and the questions will be removed from their online booking system.

This movie and Superman gave me hope this year.

During "This is What it Sounds Like", the huge audience joins with Huntr/x to defeat Gwi-Ma in one triumphant moment. In my imagination, Gwi-Ma is replaced with another real-life demonic entity who gets taken down.

John Scalzi @scalzi.com · 3d

K-Pop Demon Hunters is legitimately the global cultural phenomenon of 2025 and honestly there are far worse things to be a cultural touchstone this year than a trio of young women fighting literal soul-sucking hegemony through the power of their art

Oh crap, it's back at #1 in movies again today on Netflix too. That's awesome!

If you're looking for vintage sf/fantasy books, you can't go wrong with used bookstores in New Mexico—as my brother-in-law Rob found out last week.
Bonus:my sister found a treasure trove of vintage gothics; all with painted covers of women in gowns running away from houses.

All right, new #Peacemaker was heartbreaking. So much good stuff in this episode. So many wonderful character moments for the cast.

I've loved the QUATERMASS movies since QUATERMASS AND THE PIT first blew my mind as a kid, later exploring the other films and the original serials. The impact of the QUATERMASS saga on sci-fi film and TV was enormous, as I wrote for @reactorsff.bsky.social: reactormag.com/brains-over-...

Brains Over Brawn: The Story Of Quatermass, British Sci-Fi's Scientist Superhero - Reactor

One of the founding templates of serialized television, the trials of Bernard Quatermass pit scientific knowledge against the unknown.

Good Boy's genuine scares, dedication to the bit, and open heart make it an dog-gone good movie 🐶

An excellent, heartwrenching new horror film rises above its gimmick.

Listening to my playlist of old REM songs on the way to work this morning to drown out the news. Comforting.

Hello, Mark! I wondered where you'd went.

So far, my insurance still covers covid and flu shots, so didn't have to pay for them. (Unless they sneak me a bill later. I wouldn't put it past them.)
Oh, I am staying as frosty as I can, despite living in a desert. 😉

Jane Goodall was not only a pioneering primatologist, she also campaigned more relentlessly and selflessly for the natural world than anyone I know.

This cheered me up today. Two pre-orders I'd been waiting for all year arrived on the same day.

1) The new Witcher book. (Nice and big.)

2) And the Criterion edition of the film Flow. (It even has stickers!)

Got my covid and flu shot at the same time on Saturday. One in each arm. That knocked me out pretty good for a few days.

But I did NOT want to catch anything this year.

I cannot say enough good things about Jon Blum's story for the @obversebooks.co.uk collection 'Party Like It's 1998'. The whole collection is amazing, but this story tickles my brain like nothing else.
