Picture shows farmland stretching out into the distance, with tilled but not-yet-planted rows and some scattered clumps of bushes and trees. In the sky hangs a large low dark cloud. There are some striations in the underside of the cloud.

Posting this picture of the cloud hanging ominously over us just in case I’m never heard from again.

Tbf, if they’re gonna advertise themselves this way, that’s a future I can get behind. I remember the (blaming the victim) argument about how it was up to us to figure out who we could trust, and the response of “the rapists don’t have RAPIST tattooed on their foreheads”…

Learning that the Dalek time circuits are just as wonky as the Tardis is comforting frankly. And explains a lot.

I’d be happy to take it off your hands if it bothers you, I’m particularly fond of the scarfy one. Which story is it?

Meanwhile, as an ongoing project, I’ve been sourcing the DVDs of the classic Doctor Who shows from various sources (mostly libraries, since Netflix killed their DVDs <pours one out>). So #Film20 is all 7 episodes of Doctor Who and the Silurians. #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween

Have you stolen the Tardis? I’ve heard it can be a bit… wayward. #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Come, join me in the hellscape that was the turn of the millenium with the first episode of the 2001 anthology series Night Vision! Hosted by Henry Rollins! #Film19 #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween

For #Film18, I'm watching the first episode of the TV version of Lights Out, which I love as a radio play, so I am optimistic that this will be a firm step up in quality. Though, tbh, pretty much anything would be a step up. #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween @republicandalek.bsky.social

So #Film17 of #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween was Trapped Ashes which I actually did start yesterday but, I'm not going to sugarcoat this, it's bad, so very bad, and I just had no patience for it last night. Finished it today, and yep, still bad.

It’s a leaf bud on a tree I saw today while out walking.

Close up of a tree leaf bud just starting to open. The emerging leaves vaguely resemble tentacles; together the bud and leaves resemble the mouth of a creature with very long teeth.

Relative of yours? @republicandalek.bsky.social

The default birthdate at Metcalfe’s for if you are buying alcohol is apparently 11/11/2000 and I think I need to lie down.

Joy to the world / All the boys and girls / Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea / Joy to you and me. #2026MMM

Speaking of getting hit with a sock full of pennies, #Film16 for me is Five Nights at Freddy's 2. Because what's more entertaining than a movie full of traumatized children and the adults they grow into! #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween

I’m trying to figure out a way to combine my Derby drinking with my Walpurgisnacht drinking. Would a rosemary julep work? With a spruce beer chaser?

And I have chosen new(ish) old school with John Carpenter's The Ward! A Carpenter-directed film I somehow managed to never see, and apparently the last movie he directed? What do the reviewers sa- oh. Oh. Well, it's a movie, that I'm going to watch, anyway. #Film15 #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween

Wait, SantaCon was supposed to be a charitable enterprise? And… people believed that?

Pretty sure “just hanging out”
is one of the services public libraries offer.

Does a lemon ice cooler with strawberries from Culver’s count as a serving of fruits and vegetables? Asking for a friend.

I had a poppyseed bagel for breakfast and I will now be picking tiny black orbs out of my teeth for the rest of the day, pleas respect my privacy at this difficult time.

I came across a little made for TV “horror” film from the 70s, called Shattered Silence aka When Michael Calls, that I’ve never heard of, which is weird because Michael Douglas was in it, and I had a whole Michael Douglas thing a few years ago. #Film14 #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween

Nothing like the tornado sirens going off to warn of dangerous golf-ball-sized hail! #HoldOntoYerButts

I'm watching Bodycam, which I could swear I've seen already, but it came out in 2025 so surely I'd have a better memory of it if I had, and I think I'm confusing it with the movie Body Cam, which I watched in 2021. I know, hard to believe. #Film13 #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween

And #Film12 is Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire because that’s what my mom wanted to watch. #ObeyTheMom #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween @republicandalek.bsky.social

Lots of running around yesterday so #Film11 today is the Rifftrax of The Last Shark! Discount Barrel Quint! Almost every man has a mustache! #30FilmsOfHalfwayToHalloween @republicandalek.bsky.social

Screenshot of a post on Threads. The text reads “You see some sights in Glasgow but I’ve never seen a Dalek with a big laser gun going for a roll along the Clyde 😯”. The picture shows a Dalek, white along the bottom and gold on top with black detailing, behind it is a small child running with what looks like a large water gun.

Being chased by a child, no less. @republicandalek.bsky.social
